"I love you."

The moment those words came out, Chen Yuan felt a tingling itch, like tiny needles pricking his ears.

Wait, weren't you completely out of it last night, not hearing a thing?

Otherwise, why would you have been so calm when saying goodbye to me?

That means, she heard everything I said while Xia Xinyu was as out of it as a pig!

"I'm going back to my room."

Seeing the shocked expression on Chen Yuan's face, Xia Xinyu smiled and slipped away, leaving him standing there in a mess.

I really am arrogant.

Thinking I was the father of the version, unmatched.

In reality, without listening to 'Xinyu,' he had no chance of winning in this love battle of wits with Xinyu.

So, back to the question—who is the hunter, and who is the prey?

At least, Xia Xinyu, who could still yawn and leave after hearing me say 'I love you,' is much more formidable than I imagined.

The sprained ankle was also a pretense to reel me in.

I can't keep thinking of Xinyu as an idiot.

"Impressive."

Chen Yuan shook his head, finally understanding that girls' progress in matters of the heart is on a completely different level than boys'.

Xinyu has also become a kid playing mind games with me.

Chen Yuan suddenly felt that everything was so wonderful.

Perhaps if I delve deeper into these memories with Xinyu, the truth would be different.

The one being captured might have been me all along.

Going upstairs, back to his room, he propped his hands behind his head, looking at the dark ceiling, thinking of Xia Xinyu downstairs, offering her cheek to him, inviting him to kiss, and then the moment she bit his cheek…

That soft sensation was intoxicating, making him want to bite down harder, to devour Xinbao.

And then, he smelled a pleasant and delicate fragrance, different from Xinbao's natural scent.

No wonder she took so long to come out, before seeing me…

She had put perfume on her face.

…………

Chen Yuan had a very nice dream, where he bit Xia Xinyu like a zombie.

"...What the hell? Drool monster, much?"

Sitting up, looking at Chen Yuan sleeping on his side and the drool stain on his pillow, Zhou Yu figured this guy must have had some lewd dream, or he wouldn't be drooling everywhere.

It wasn't that extreme, but there was definitely drool.

"Get up, stop living the young master life."

Gradually waking up, Zhou Yu called Chen Yuan awake.

"Ha-yi—" Yawning widely, Chen Yuan sat up from the bed, looking at Zhou Yu next to him, confused, "Why is it you, you bastard?"

"You're out of it, aren't you?"

"Slept well."

Chen Yuan glanced at the time, 8:30 in the morning, realizing how much he had slept.

So, he got up, put on his clothes, socks, and shoes, and went downstairs with Zhou Yu to wash up.

And then, he ran into Tang Siwen sweeping the hallway, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

Wearing a headscarf that someone had put on her, looking like a cleaning lady, Tang Siwen stood up straight and said, "Zhou Fu and I are cleaning, He Sijiao and Xia Xinyu are helping to make breakfast. And, remember to clean your rooms."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Chen Yuan nodded, then said to Zhou Yu, "Make the bed, wanna go together?"

"Need two people for that? Rock-paper-scissors, loser does it."

"Okay." Chen Yuan agreed.

Then, he easily won.

"Best two out of three."

"Okay."

"Best three out of five, loser has to do the cleaning too!"

"Okay."

"Damn it! Why can't I control my hand?" Losing two in a row, Zhou Yu didn't get the bounty, losing three out of five, sending himself straight back to the room to clean.

Using Chaozi again after resting didn't seem so tiring.

As expected, it's energy that's being consumed.

And so, Chen Yuan went to the bathroom on the first floor to brush his teeth. Then, Zhou Fu, wearing a white apron, like a little… big maid, came in to clean, sweeping the floor.

"Let me get past this leg, and that leg, okay, okay, I need to wipe the bathroom mirror, stand a little to the side…"

Because she was the one doing the work, Chen Yuan did as he was told. Before she left the bathroom, Zhou Fu patted Chen Yuan's slightly upturned bangs: "Good boy, so obedient."

Hey, you *mua*!

Chen Yuan continued to brush his teeth, wash his face, fixed his hair, and then looked around the house for something he could do.

Meanwhile, in the separate kitchen on the first floor, the old lady sat on a stool, wanting to do something, but that pretty little girl had taken over completely, so she could only watch and say with a smile, "I can't use gas at all, I've always used a wood-burning stove. I didn't expect that there are still kids who know how to use these things."

"Food cooked on a wood-burning stove is more fragrant," Xia Xinyu, wearing an apron and a high ponytail, said skillfully, stirring the food without hesitation.

He Sijiao, who was cutting vegetables nearby, looked at Xia Xinyu and also felt frightened, muttering quietly, "Is this what a virtuous wife and loving mother is like? No wonder those guys like to dream… she is indeed charming."

"Are you from Hai Dong?" the grandmother asked Xia Xinyu.

"No, I'm from Jing Nan."

"Jing Nan? Haha, I'm from Xi Jiang, we're related, then." The grandmother felt a sudden sense of familiarity.

"There is such a saying, the relationship between the people of the two provinces is very good," Xia Xinyu said with a smile.

"Then, do you have a boyfriend?" the grandmother asked again.

Xia Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded shyly.

"Then, let me guess?"

"Okay." Xia Xinyu also thought it was quite fun, because the grandmother didn't spend much time with them, basically staying by herself, and the only clue she might have was their greetings when they arrived yesterday.

"The one with the spiky hair."

"Ah? This…"

"You two are a couple." The grandmother smiled, pointing to He Sijiao, and said with certainty.

"Um… you're amazing." He Sijiao blushed.

"Then, you're with that tall, unsmiling boy." The grandmother said again.

Xia Xinyu nodded, also looking impressed.

"Then, does my Jian Jian have a girlfriend?" the grandmother asked curiously.

"This…" He Sijiao thought for a moment, then explained, "There is someone who likes your grandson."

"Then I bet it's not one of those two girls, right?"

"Eh? How did you know!" He Sijiao was shocked.

They hadn't spent much time together, yet she could judge so accurately.

To this, the grandmother smiled and said nothing.

The girl with the wide hips, it was hard to say, her feelings for the two boys couldn't be considered love, at most she had a little more affection for the tall one.

As for that quiet, cute girl, the person she liked seemed to be the same as this girl who was cooking…

The eyes can reveal many things.

"I'm just guessing, I don't really know," the grandmother didn't plan to say anything, because saying it might ruin the feelings of these young people.

"Xinyu, Sijiao jie, you're here." At this time, Chen Yuan came to the kitchen.

"The food is ready," Xia Xinyu said. "We can serve it soon."

"It's okay, you guys go rest, I'll do it."

"No need, I…"

"Let me do some work, I was being annoying there and got scolded by Fu jie."

Chen Yuan patted He Sijiao on the shoulder, telling her to take Xinyu away, not to spoil this boy too much, or he'd really become a *qibaonan* (wife-doting man).

"Um… okay."

Xia Xinyu followed He Sijiao.

Chen Yuan then put the stir-fried dishes into plates.

Tang Jian's grandmother's house had a large serving tray, divided into nine sections, and he put Xia Xinyu's breakfast on it, preparing to carry it over in one go.

"Child, which one is your girlfriend?" the grandmother asked Chen Yuan with a smile.

"Then you guess, which one is it." Chen Yuan also smiled, answering the question rather nervously.

"I can't guess which one is, but I know which one you like," the grandmother said.

"Then tell me."

"The one with the short hair and big hips, right?"

"No, no." Chen Yuan quickly denied, asking a little nervously, "Does it look like that?"

Could it be that in other people's eyes, there was something ambiguous between him and Zhou Fu?

This wouldn't do!

"I don't know," the grandmother shook her head, then said, "Then do you like the tall, quiet girl?"

"No…"

Chen Yuan was even more flustered.

Could it be that the world doesn't know that I only love Xinyu?

"I thought that quiet girl liked you, and you liked her too."

"She looks like she likes me?" Chen Yuan was confused, very confused.

And this made the grandmother understand.

This boy wasn't a playboy, he just hadn't realized that someone liked him.

"Then you like the girl named Xinyu?"

"Grandma, you finally got it right!" Chen Yuan was really afraid of being told that he and other girls had a romantic vibe.

"Haha, too hard to guess, I don't understand the girls these days."

The grandmother said, standing up from the chair and walking to the living room on the first floor.

Chen Yuan carried the food tray, followed behind, went to the living room, and placed it on the dining table.

Then, the sensible Tang Siwen began to serve porridge to everyone.

The first bowl, she served to the grandmother.

How strange, why did Grandma say she liked me…

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this, Tang Siwen filled another bowl of porridge and, standing on tiptoe, pushed it in front of him. Then, she continued clockwise to fill porridge for others…

At this moment, Chen Yuan felt as if he had been shot between the eyebrows, something echoing in his mind.

He was Tang Siwen's number one fan, her best friend, and of the opposite sex, so calling that feeling 'like' seemed not too much…

"Xinyu's cooking is really good, someone got lucky."

He Sijiao started eating voraciously and took the initiative to joke.

"Someone's cooking is not bad either," Xia Xinyu said with a smile, then took the initiative to put a Pacific saury on the plate of Zhou Fu, who was far away from the fish.

"Good cooking and a good person, truly Saint Xinyu." Zhou Fu expressed her thanks.

Tang Siwen, however, was eating with her head down, not saying a word.

"By the way, what did Teacher Xu say?" Zhou Yu said.

After the topic changed, Tang Siwen looked up, becoming more natural from her restrained state…

So, she didn't want to talk about 'Xinyu.'

Could it be that it was really like Tang Jian's grandmother said?

Hmm… subtle.

"It's okay," Chen Yuan said. "There are still people who chose the second test competing over there. As long as you get back to the hotel before twelve o'clock, it's fine."

"That means Siwen and I can still play around?" Zhou Fu was very happy. These past few days, her relationship with Tang Siwen had become increasingly close, reaching the level of best female friend.

She hoped she thought the same way.

"Aren't you coming with us?" He Sijiao asked, a little frustrated.

"No, you two go play." Zhou Fu made an X, firmly refusing, and said to Tang Siwen, "I'm not dieting today, let's indulge."

"Yeah!" Tang Siwen also wanted to indulge, agreeing very happily.

"What about you two?" He Sijiao asked Xia Xinyu again.

Xia Xinyu smiled and said, "Chen Yuan and I are going to a temple."

"Okay, then we'll split into three groups."

Although He Sijiao felt that playing with Zhou Yu was also good, it was more fun to be together.

After all, this Zhou Yu was like a piece of wood, needing to be reminded of everything!

"Eat quickly, after eating, clear the table and wash the dishes for Grandma, then we'll set off," Zhou Fu reminded.

And so, breakfast lasted for twenty minutes. Washing dishes and cleaning also took twenty minutes. After restoring the villa as much as possible to the way it was when they arrived, everyone said goodbye to Tang Jian's grandmother.

The four of them were going into the city, in the opposite direction of Xinyuan, so the four of them called a Didi and left first.

Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu, however, called a car to go to a rather famous temple near the sea—Guang'en Temple.

This temple had a very strong incense offering, located on the hillside of a small mountain. You couldn't drive up, you needed to walk fifteen minutes up the mountain road, even so, every weekend, there were quite a few worshippers climbing the mountain to pray for blessings, which was enough to show that the Buddha here was quite 'effective.'

Because he had rested well yesterday, Chen Yuan effortlessly climbed the hillside.

At the entrance, there were people selling incense.

Chen Yuan spent twenty yuan to buy a handful, putting them in a red plastic bag.

Walking into the temple, there were worshippers of all ages everywhere, either praying for wealth, or for peace, or to bless their family's surgery to be successful.

As for those praying for marriage and children, there were almost none.

This also quite reflected the consumption concepts of modern people.

Deliberately spending money to worship Buddha, you definitely want to get a return.

And love and offspring were bottomless pits of money!

At this time, Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan lined up to offer incense. The two of them stood in front of the large incense burner, inserted the red incense sticks, then closed their eyes, praying and worshipping Buddha.

It was impossible for Chen Yuan to kneel to Buddha, because he had the same attitude towards all religions, and because Chen Yuan didn't kneel, Xia Xinyu also followed suit, three bows.

Afterwards, Xia Xinyu began to make a wish seriously.

Praying for peace, health, studies, love, greedily conveying all her wishes to Buddha.

Chen Yuan was also making a wish.

Next week, please give me a Chaozi with better playability.

No, would Chaozi be jealous if he talked about this with Buddha?

He didn't know what the relationship between Chaozi and Buddha was.

After all, one was materialistic and the other was idealistic.

"Um, let's go get a fortune stick."

After Xia Xinyu finished making her wish, she followed Chen Yuan to the fortune stick stand.

During the period, passing by a pond, Xia Xinyu stopped. She took a one-yuan coin from her pocket and carefully threw it into a bronze cauldron in the middle of the pond.

Then, she missed, not getting it in.

"Why don't you try?" Xia Xinyu gave Chen Yuan another coin.

It was said that as long as you threw the coin into the cauldron in the middle, you would get good luck.

But obviously, this was to promote consumption.

For those stubborn people, they had to hit it before they were willing to leave.

It could only be said that Buddha didn't need yuan.

But every moment that moved Buddha needed yuan.

"It's okay, you try," Chen Yuan said. "Throw it higher."

Xia Xinyu nodded, then threw it as high as possible.

As it hovered at the highest point, a gust of wind suddenly blew, accurately sending the coin into the bronze cauldron.

Seeing this, Xia Xinyu clapped her hands happily: "Looks like we'll have good luck today."

"That's great, let's go to Aomen this afternoon."

"No gambling… don't have a gambler's mentality!" Xia Xinyu had thought Chen Yuan had a big gambling addiction before, so she seriously corrected his crazy ideas.

"Okay, then let's go to the Sunshine Supermarket and get a lottery ticket after spending fifty yuan."

"That's okay."

"Isn't that also gambling?"

"A little… is okay."

"You have flexible moral standards."

Then, the two of them went to the fortune stick stand.

Sitting in the center was a monk wearing a monk's robe, and next to his hand was a QR code.

Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu each scanned a twenty yuan, totaling forty, then began to get fortune sticks.

Future vision, activate!

In the future, Xia Xinyu would get a peace fortune stick first, about thirty seconds later, stick number 57, minor luck.

"Shake it longer," Chen Yuan reminded Xia Xinyu.

After forty seconds, it was still minor luck.

"Keep shaking, shake it more," Chen Yuan said again.

This time, after about a full minute, it was great luck.

Okay, no interference.

And so, Xia Xinyu drew a stick number 19, great luck.

"It's great luck, a super good stick," Xia Xinyu shared with Chen Yuan very happily.

"Great luck is good, our temple hasn't drawn many great lucks today," the monk said with a smile, nodding, then asking, "What number?"

Xia Xinyu said piously, "Master, it's 19."

Then, the monk gave Xia Xinyu a fortune slip with the number 19.

*Cold water not yet boiled into white soup*

*Neither cold nor hot, just lukewarm*

*To travel the world without difficulty*

*Only by having a hundred strong skills*

"What does this mean? May I ask, Master?" Xia Xinyu showed the fortune slip to the monk.

The monk nodded, then said, "If you are asking for peace, this stick is a metaphor for two things that have a harmonizing effect on each other, which is also complementary. Are you and this young brother's personalities complementary?"

Chen Yuan was puzzled.

Complementary?

Where are we complementary? Xinyu and I are the same.

"Yes, yes, our personalities are complementary, we are very different in many ways," Xia Xinyu, however, felt a lot of insight and nodded quickly.

"That's right," the monk nodded, then said, "The essence of this stick is that the two regulate each other, balancing and complementing each other. Only with effort can things be accomplished. That is to say, you will protect each other's safety. If one is not around, the other may encounter some minor changes. And to accomplish things, you also need the two of you to support each other, one is indispensable."

"I am… also indispensable?"

Xia Xinyu felt that she couldn't do without Chen Yuan, this had already been proven.

But Chen Yuan couldn't do without her either?

"Of course not," Chen Yuan patted Xia Xinyu's head gently, reminding this kid not to talk nonsense, distorting the monk's guidance.

The monk was right.

The Xinyuan combo was invincible, separated, it was a pile of garbage.

"Yes, yes, one is indispensable," the monk said with a smile, nodding, "But more so, it refers to personality. You need to harmonize with each other."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xia Xinyu really felt that this was accurate.

Just like without Chen Yuan, she would now be extreme, becoming a wandering ghost.

That would not do.

"Then, young brother, please get your fortune stick," the monk said, reaching out.

"Okay."

Chen Yuan took the fortune stick tube and shook it.

But unfortunately, future vision couldn't see himself.

Never mind, Xia Xinyu had already cheated there, this time, he wouldn't play mind games with Buddha.

After more than ten seconds, Chen Yuan shook out a stick.

Stick number 58.

Great luck, super good stick.

"Two super good sticks, Buddha is blessing the two of you." The monk was startled, because this was very coincidental.

Out of a total of one hundred sticks, there were less than 20 great lucks. The probability of two people drawing one at the same time was 0.04, which was four percent.

This was really lucky.

"Stick number 58."

Chen Yuan found another master to get the stick, then handed it to this monk to interpret the fortune.

Let's look at the poem on the slip:

*A golden line weighs the heart*

*Neither reducing nor increasing, neither heavy nor light*

*A person with an upright heart*

*Writing and art are all bright*

"What are you asking for?" the monk asked.

"Marriage," Chen Yuan said straightforwardly.

Xia Xinyu twisted her hands a little shyly, also looking forward to it.

"Is there a wedding date yet?" the monk asked.

"Not, not yet," Xia Xinyu quickly explained. "We're just high school students, a wedding date… at least we have to wait until graduation."

"Oh, I see," the monk nodded in understanding, then studied the stick, slowly saying, "This stick says, this love is deep, constant from beginning to end."

"Who is… constant from beginning to end?" Xia Xinyu asked, concerned.

Hey, what do you mean, Yu Zi?

Questioning the master?!

"The stick was drawn by the young brother, so it is talking about him. Of course, it can also refer to the relationship between the two of you."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing this, Xia Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief.

No, that's not polite.

Do I look like a cheater?

Explain, explain clearly!

"What about the third and fourth lines?" Chen Yuan asked.

The master explained, "It says that even if you can't read, you will have a bright result."

"That means getting into a vocational college won't affect our relationship?" Chen Yuan understood.

Xia Xinyu, however, muttered softly, "Vocational college students can read too."

You've gone too far.

But if it referred to studies…

It seemed that it really had the meaning Chen Yuan said: even if studies weren't smooth, the future would still be bright.

Don't be too obsessed with getting very, very high marks.

"Today you drew two great lucks, you are truly fated," the master took out a copper coin the size of a pea from a box, handed it to Xia Xinyu, and said, "A free coin for the benefactor, you can get it strung up at the shop."

"Can this be used as a peace charm?" Xia Xinyu asked.

"Of course," the monk said. "The peace stick you drew was a super good stick."

"Um, um."

Xia Xinyu took the copper coin, held it in her hand, beaming, and bowed to the master before pulling Chen Yuan away.

"As expected, we have good fortune sticks," Xia Xinyu was very happy.

"Yes, a small percentage of probability, that we met." In reality, it was a percentage of several tens.

Because Xia Xinyu's peace stick was obtained by Chen Yuan using Chaozi.

Peace was inevitable.

Because Chaozi was protecting them.

But this dedicated love, was more or less metaphysics.

"The stick says, you'll be dedicated to me."

Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan and said a little happily.

"The stick is right."

"Actually, I'm always a little worried, because you're too popular and kind. What if one day some woman hugs you or kisses you… what should I do then?" Xia Xinyu said seriously.

"Where would that happen? Impossible."

Zhou Fu's hug was a righteous hug.

Shen Xiaoran was only 11 years old, not old enough to assume responsibility, not even a woman.

So, the stick was still pretty accurate.

Hai Dong's good man, Chen Yuan, is here.

"Anyway, it's impossible for me to be unfaithful, and after this unstable factor is resolved, it can be considered the end of a major worry for me," Xia Xinyu said with emotion.

"Why don't you believe me so much…"

Chen Yuan was really going to get angry.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe others," Xia Xinyu joked.

And this disbelief in others, was she referring to Tang Siwen?

No, Tang Shen was just a pushover, she didn't understand love, don't take her seriously.

The reason she served me porridge first was purely… because she was afraid of me hitting her.

Just like Zhou Fu giving me friendship fees every day, she was also afraid of being bullied by me.

"So, you should believe now, right?" Chen Yuan showed the stick to Xia Xinyu, relying on Buddha sama for the first time.

Have business, Buddha sama, no business, this son of Buddha is a bastard, right?

"Okay, I believe in Buddha."

Xia Xinyu stopped causing trouble, then suddenly thought of something, so she said, "Wait a moment, I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you under that tree," Chen Yuan pointed to a tree with red ribbons hanging on it.

Then, Xia Xinyu left.

Chen Yuan, however, walked slowly to the tree, looking at the red ribbons with wishes, and suddenly had an idea.

Then, a small vendor next to the temple said, "Red ribbon, five yuan each, this tree is the most effective for praying for blessings, give it a try."

There's even business for this?

No wonder the Shaolin Temple can go public, you guys are really clever.

Indulgences, heavy indulgences.

"Okay."

Although he said that, the scenery here was good, and it was well managed, so Chen Yuan willingly took out his money, scanned a red ribbon, and borrowed a pen from the other party.

Resting it on the tree, Chen Yuan thought for a moment, then wrote a line of words.

May we be kind and wise, without disaster or difficulty until we are high-ranking officials—To Chen Yuan.

Flipping it over, he wrote:

May Xinbao be happy every day, more and more beautiful, more and more cute—To Xinyu.

No, it felt like this second wish was also for himself.

I'm too selfish…

Never mind, let it be, there was no extra space anyway.

And so, he returned the pen to the vendor, Chen Yuan stood on tiptoe, tying the red ribbon as high as possible.

As the wind gently blew, the wishes on both sides alternately entered his field of vision.

It might be a little difficult for him to be free from disaster and difficulty until he was a high-ranking official.

But he could make Xinyu happy every day, more and more beautiful, more and more cute.

However, whether he could do it, all depended on his ability.

At this moment, a little girl held a red oil-paper umbrella, spinning it gently, quite happily.

"Don't use an umbrella when it's not raining."

"When will it rain, then?"

"It's best if it doesn't rain, we didn't bring an umbrella."

"But I have this umbrella."

"Such a little one, who can you give it to? Let's go, let's go pray for blessings."

Looking at the beautiful red oil-paper umbrella, Chen Yuan was a little tempted, walking to a nun selling umbrellas at the temple and asking, "How much… fate is an umbrella?"

"This is an oil-paper umbrella that has been blessed."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was afraid, once it was blessed, the price would soar.

Could he get an unblessed one?

He just wanted to buy an umbrella.

"Fifty yuan."

This temple and nunnery were merged, so there were also a small number of nuns inside, responsible for selling some of the temple's peripherals.

And this was also one of the main sources of incense money for the temple.

"Then give me one," Chen Yuan said as he prepared to scan a fifty yuan QR code, asking, "A girl will come over in a while, can you say it's a free gift for her?"

"You… are you the couple who both got the great luck?" the nun asked curiously.

"Yes."

"I see." The nun smiled, "You are all blessed people, twenty-six yuan, then."

"Thank you. But, why twenty-six yuan?"

Half the price, shouldn't it be calculated as twenty-five yuan?

To this, the nun said humorously, "I don't want you to be, twenty (years old), five (no) fate."

"High." Chen Yuan gave the nun master a thumbs up.

Your act was too high-level.

"Then you can continue waiting there, I'll send her the umbrella when she comes over," the nun said.

"Um, um."

Then, Chen Yuan returned to the tree.

After waiting for a while, Xia Xinyu came.

Seeing Chen Yuan, she quickened her pace. After walking to him, she held out a hand: "Reach out."

Chen Yuan did so, interlocked fingers with her.

This made Xia Xinyu think of when she gave him the bracelet.

Too embarrassing, he must have done it on purpose today.

"Not that," Xia Xinyu slowly let go of his hand, pointing to Chen Yuan's wrist.

Then, Chen Yuan did as she said and reached out.

Next, Xia Xinyu wrapped the red string strung with copper coins and two small round jade stones around Chen Yuan's wrist, and gently twisted the knot, putting it on: "Looks good."

Chen Yuan turned his hand over, looking at the small copper coin and jade stone on the red string, and asked, "You just got it strung up?"

"Yeah, to put peace on you." Xia Xinyu said with a smile.

"This must be expensive, right?" Chen Yuan asked.

"No, no, a few tens of yuan." Xia Xinyu quickly waved her hand.

[Although 188 is a bit expensive, it's half a month's living expenses.]

[But it's priceless to protect Chen Yuan's safety.]

"So expensive, it must have been blessed," Chen Yuan said.

"Yes, the master blessed them all, they're very effective," Xia Xinyu said with confidence.

"Thank you, it's very beautiful," Chen Yuan gratefully accepted.

"The best way to prevent danger is to pay attention yourself. But under normal circumstances, some bad things come suddenly. So, that's the role of this peace charm."

Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan and said seriously, "But don't be too superstitious about these things, if something happens, let me protect you first, then pray to the gods last."

So superstitious, yet she told him not to be superstitious.

This was really contradictory.

"Okay, I will," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"You must."

"Okay," Chen Yuan said. "The exams are about to end, we have to take the car back, let's go."

Xia Xinyu was just about to leave when she suddenly saw a red ribbon on her head turn over.

On it, there was a line of words.

Finally, it was to send Xin Xinyu.

She couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Am I not pretty enough, not cute enough, so you have to make this wish?

Never mind, I won't torture him.

The wish is very beautiful, but I can only do my best.

"Let's go."

Xia Xinyu giggled, turned around.

And so, the two of them walked towards the foot of the mountain.

And while passing by the oil-paper umbrella stall, the nun suddenly stopped Xia Xinyu: "Girl, stop for a moment."

Xia Xinyu was stunned, looking at the oil-paper umbrellas and the fifty-yuan price tag, and actively refused: "Um, I'm not buying an umbrella."

"It's okay, I'll give it to you," the nun said.

"Eh? Really?" Xia Xinyu's eyes lit up.

"Yes," the nun said with a smile. "I heard you both drew great luck, I want to share in the good fortune."

"Then thank you very much."

Xia Xinyu accepted the red oil-paper umbrella with both hands, bowing gratefully. Then, before leaving, she asked uncertainly, "Really, don't you need to buy something else?"

"No need." The nun thought this girl was too cute, and couldn't help but smile, "You have already paid with your kindness."

"Thank you!"

After thanking her again, Xia Xinyu happily started playing with the umbrella.

Opening it, she gently turned the umbrella and asked Chen Yuan, "Is it pretty?"

"Really beautiful," Chen Yuan said.

Referring to the person, and the umbrella.

"Yeah, really beautiful," Xia Xinyu continued to look at it and said with satisfaction, "To think it was given for free, it's really lucky!"

"Maybe the master also thinks our Xinyu is cute, just like when you buy vegetables and get something for free."

"People said it was because we were blessed."

"Yes, we are both blessed, both are blessed."

Next, the two of them prepared to go down the mountain.

Then, Xia Xinyu prepared to close the umbrella. But then, she felt it was a pity: "I really want to use this umbrella soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, oncoming slanted rain, began to fall lightly…

"Great, it's come in handy."

Xia Xinyu opened the umbrella to cover Chen Yuan.

But because he was too tall, she had some difficulty.

"I'll do it," Chen Yuan said.

So rich that she didn't hesitate for a moment for a one hundred and eighty-eight yuan copper coin red string bracelet.
