Early in the morning, Luo Hanshang and his grandma came to the temple together.
This was because the temple was halfway up the mountain, and the early morning was surrounded by white mist. Being in this space made people feel relaxed and happy.
Ning Jiang supported her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I think I know why temples are built on the mountain now."
Grandma looked at her and smiled. "Why?"
"Look, this environment is filled with immortal qi, so it's very easy to calm one's heart. Even someone with a deep desire would want to break away from the mortal world after coming here."
Luo Hanshang, who was at the side, said coldly, "Even if you send those with wicked desires to heaven, his heart is still ugly, it has nothing to do with the environment."
Grandma shook her head, "Zhuoyi, you can't say such things. The only thing you can say is that some people's hearts are tainted and it's hard to change them. However, when people were just born, they were all the same. Simple, ignorant, full of curiosity and yearning for the world. What changes human nature is often the environment. "
Ning Jiang nodded in agreement. "I support Grandmother's words."
Luo Hanshang smirked, "Bullshit."
Ning Jiang slapped his arm. "This man is really ??"
Seeing the couple flirting, Grandma couldn't help but laugh. "Aiyo, you two children, be careful. You can love each other when you get back. This is the temple. "
Ning Jiang smiled embarrassedly at her grandma. But how could they be sweet? It was clear that they were at odds.
The breakfast was very simple, but Ning Jiang ate it with relish.
Grandma asked happily, "Jiang Er, this is the first time you've been to a temple, right?"
Ning Jiang nodded. "Yes, grandmother. How did you know?"
"This is my first time coming here and I feel that the food here is very rare and the food here is especially good."
Ning Jiang tilted her head and looked at Luo Hanshang, who basically didn't eat much. She gri
ed at Grandma and said, "Maybe some people are born to be picky about their food."
Luo Hanshang Bai looked at her and said, "Eat your food quietly, don't look for trouble."
Grandma smiled and said, "In a while, I will go and greet the abbot's master. Are you going?"
Ning Jiang nodded. "Go."
Luo Hanshang was not very interested and said: "You guys go ahead, I'll wait for you guys and take care of some work."
After di
er, Ning Jiang went for a walk with her grandma, while Luo Hanshang went back to his room to rest.
It was already noon by the time his grandma came out.
Grandma said to Ning Jiang, who was supporting her, "I'll go listen to the abbot's lecture this afternoon. Take a walk with Zhuoyi to the back of the mountain. Leaves have started to turn red this season. It's a very beautiful sight."
"Grandma, there's plenty of time to reward the red leaves. I'll accompany you this afternoon."
"It's fine. I also have some things that I would like to ask the abbot. It would be inconvenient for you to stay with me, so go have fun."
Ning Jiang nodded and did not force her. "Sure."
"Just now, I saw you kneel inside for a long time. Do you have some request?"
Ning Jiang thought for a moment and looked at her. "I don't feel like I've been kneeling for long. It's because it's my first time here and I don't know what to do, so when you're kneeling, I'm kneeling as well."
Grandma laughed. "Child, you're not thinking about anything at all?"
"I did. Because I came with you, I prayed to Buddha that all of your wishes would be fulfilled. Everything else ?? "I don't think so."
Grandma shook her head, looking at her with a kind look, "At my age, there's no need to ask for anything, I just want all my children to be happy. Of course, I also hope that your grandfather and I can finish our journey in a healthy ma
er in the remaining years. At our age, people without a lover are afraid to live. Those who were accompanied by their loved ones were afraid of death.
Right now, I am rather afraid of death. Isn't the so-called old couple simply old enough to have someone to accompany you? I am afraid that your grandfather will abandon me alone, but also afraid that I will abandon him. "So, I only understand when I get old, that I don't want to live the same year and the same day, but want to die the same day and the same month and the same year."
Ning Jiang took her grandma's arm. "Grandmother, your relationship with grandpa has become the most beautiful love story in the world. Do you know how enviable that is?"
"Actually, everyone's feelings are quite wonderful. I have experienced exactly the kind of feelings I had when I was young, so I... Because I really didn't lose out by following your grandfather. It doesn't matter if others are envious or not. My own life isn't the most important one. "Now, I just hope that Zhuoyi and you can be as perfect as your grandpa and me. Then, I really don't have any regrets."
As Grandma spoke, she patted Ning Jiang's hand and said, "This child, Zhuoyi..." Having experienced many things and faced many life and death situations, even though his character was rather cold, he was actually very lonely and very afraid of losing you. Your grandfather and I are already at this age. I really don't know how many more years we can keep him company.
We've always wanted a girl like you to be with him, instead of me and his grandfather, the most important partner in his life. Jiang Er, you won't disappoint your grandmother, right? "
Looking at her grandma's sincere and expectant gaze, Ning Jiang didn't even know how to reply.
Her marriage to Luo Hanshang was not real after all.
"Jiang Er?"
Ning Jiang came back to her senses. "Grandmother, the rest of your life is too long. There are some things that nobody can say for sure."
"Life isn't that long, and time is really fleeting around the right people. To me, the scene of me meeting your grandfather was like what happened yesterday. However ?? You see, we are now all old men of the late afternoon.
Love is to find the right person, hand in hand for a hundred years, will not feel long. So, you promised Grandma to accompany Zhuoyi well. If we're not here anymore, you'll spend the rest of your life with him. "Don't leave him alone, okay?"
How could she bear to refuse such a hopeful gaze?
If she promised her grandmother and couldn't do it, wouldn't it make her even more disappointed? But if she doesn't agree ??
She nodded and smiled, "Grandma, I promise you, I won't let him be lonely."
Grandma patted her hand. "I knew it. I couldn't have been wrong about you."
During lunch time, his grandmother told Luo Hanshang to take Ning Jiang to the back mountain to admire the red leaves.
She thought Luo Hanshang would say no, but he actually agreed.
In the afternoon, the two of them arrived at the back of the mountain.
There were trees everywhere on the mountain, and there were red leaves, but not many.
However, perhaps it was because they were in the mountains, but the air was especially fresh.
Ning Jiang glanced at Luo Hanshang, who was beside her. He also seemed bored.
She said, "Eh, you aren't busy this afternoon."
"What do you think?"
"If you're busy, then go back to work. I'll just take a stroll by myself."
Luo Hanshang Bai said, "I'm not busy."
This woman needed him to make his words clear in order for her to understand him, right?
Ning Jiang scratched her forehead. "This place is pretty beautiful, isn't it?"
"Aren't all trees like this?"
Ning Jiang rolled her eyes. She thought so too, but taking into account that saying that would cause Tian'er to die of boredom, she forcefully changed the topic. She hadn't expected to be confronted with the Terminator.
The two of them couldn't stand here all afternoon, could they?
She stepped aside and bent down to pick up the leaves.
Luo Hanshang leaned on her: "What are you doing?"
"Pick up the leaves."
"Am I blind? I'm asking you, why are you picking up this thing?
Crouching there, Ning Jiang looked back at him sideways. "Aren't those yellow and yellow green and red leaves pretty? Pick a few and let's go back to play sticker games together in the evening."
Luo Hanshang frowned. "You can?"
Ning Jiang pursed her lips and smiled, "Can't you learn from Luo Luo? Live and learn until you are old. "
Luo Hanshang did not reply again.
Being able to think of Luo Luo, it was proof that she had that child in her heart. This Second Aunt did not do too bad, she was very competent.
In the evening, when the three of them returned to the Luo Garden, the curtain of night had already fallen.
His grandfather was waiting anxiously in the yard.
When he saw that his grandmother had returned, the worry on his face disappeared.
Grandma said, "Old man, why did you come out?"
His grandfather was very proud. "I came out to get some fresh air, is that not okay?"
"Sure," Grandma smiled and walked around him into the house. "You can breathe. Let's go in and rest. "
Grandfather turned around and followed him. "What took you so long to return?"
"I went to listen to the abbot lecture in the afternoon, so I was a bit late. Let's get someone to prepare di
er. We're all hungry."
His grandfather immediately waved to the servant closest to him. "Get someone to prepare a table for us to eat at."
Ning Jiang, who was following behind Luo Hanshang, could not help but feel a surge of envy.
It was her greatest honor to be able to witness such a love.
Luo Hanshang turned around and looked at her: "Do you feel like this couple is very a
oying?"
She pursed her lips into a smile and said, "No, I don't think so. This kind of love is probably the kind of love that all women yearn for the most. Anyway, I'm very envious of it."
"Do all women like this kind of lame love?"
Ning Jiang shook her head. "What women like is not to be bored, but to have a man who only cares about himself for the rest of his life."
After she finished speaking, she followed him into the room. Luo Hanshang stared at her back in silence for a moment before entering the room.
She had pla
ed to hang out with Rolo after di
er. But Lo had a dance class and had no time to play.
After Luo Luo left, she returned to Hanyi House with Luo Hanshang.
Luo Hanshang entered the living room and turned on the TV.
Ning Jiang followed and sat by the side.
After watching TV for a few minutes, she hesitated for a moment. Then she took out a small red satin satchel from her bag and pushed it across the coffee table to him.
"This is for you."
Luo Hanshang casually opened the bag and took out a button-like small hanging ornament. There were even carvings of symbols on the hanging ornament.
He looked at her, puzzled. "What is this?"
Ning Jiang scratched her forehead. "This is a protective talisman without any money. It's mine. It's for you."
