On the first day of the first month, the great beauty sent three snacks he made with the teenager to Mr. Chen to wish them a happy Chinese New Year.

Although there was no communication between them at ordinary times, and the communication between the young man and Mr. Chen was limited to providing the living expenses every month. But at times like Chinese New Year, saying a blessing to one’s blood relatives wasn’t a bad thing for the great beauty.

After all, there was no deep conflict between them. Mr. Chen couldn’t be considered as a competent father, but he did help him get away from his mother and was still providing for his schooling.

Mr.Chen also seemed to have reflected on it in the last few months, and he no longer avoided him in fear, as he had previously. 0ClZuH

The teenager tried to smile at Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen probably saw his smile for the first time in the past few years, showed a surprised expression, then rubbed his hands as if flattered and also smiled at him. “Happy new year, happy new year,” he said as he handed him a red packet.

Mr. Chen tried again to ask him about his studies, and the teenager answered one by one. The atmosphere between the two eased, and after a while, Mr. Chen’s youngest son poked his head out of the door of the house, and when he saw the great beauty, he jumped and ran over with joy. He knew the teenager, but there was no real sense that this was the son of his father’s ex-wife. Looking at this “brother” was no different from looking at the neighbor’s older brother.

The child happily paid his respects and immediately greedily held out his hand for a red envelope or candy. Fortunately, the great beauty was prepared and gave it to him and said goodbye.

On the second day of the first year, the great beauty took the teenager to climb a mountain outside the city. Halfway up the mountain, there’s an ancient temple, known far and wide by many tourists. The great beauty didn’t know where the news that worshipping there was very spiritual came from, so the two men went up to meet the Spring Festival crowds and hiked hard.

They held hands and got a little sweaty by the time they reached the ancient temple, their palms were moistened with sweat. The great beauty was carrying his small backpack, and his mouth was full of complaints, saying that he was tired and hot. The teen wanted to take tissue from his pocket to wipe his sweat, and one hand wasn’t enough to open the tissue seal. The young man wanted to pull his hand, but the great beauty seemed to have some other kind of persistence, restraining his hand and refusing to let go.

“We’ve been holding hands for so long, it’s a loss to let go now.” The great beauty was ecstatic. “Let’s just go to worship like this, so we can show the Buddha the strong bond between us!”

Now and then he has these childish thoughts, the teenager would always go along with him.

The great beauty knelt on the soft cushion and prayed, “Buddha, bless Xiao Xun and me with good health and all things.”

As if that wasn’t enough, he continued to add wishes. “Blessing Xiao Xun to encounter people and things he likes in the future! He will be happy every day! ”

The teenager asked, “Won’t you pray for yourself?”

The great beauty was unsure. “I prayed! Isn’t that my first sentence? ” 2 aWHh

“I mean the latter,” the teenager said, “Why do you only want me to be happy?”

The great beauty grinned, “Because I’m happy enough now, ah. Just seeing you makes me happy every day. ” He stroked the teenager’s head, “You’ve experienced a lot of nasty things in the past, so you’ll have to let Buddha help you make up for it in the future. Well, also praying for two people’s share is a bit too greedy. Just think of it as sharing my share with you. ”

The young man blinked, his dark, bright eyes gazing at him. A moment after, he turned to the Buddha.

The great beauty remembered that he had not yet formally worshipped and lowered his head. Bd2w5R

He also heard the youth make a wish at his side. “I hope I can always be with Rong Chuyun in the future.”

He seriously bent down and worshipped four times together with the great beauty.

They continued to climb up the mountain, reaching the summit. The great beauty kept praising him for his cleverness, which complemented his two-way wish. But after walking for a while, the great beauty couldn’t catch his breath because he talked too much and had to rest against the roadside guardrail.

The teenager took out water and handed it to him. He helped him wipe the sweat off his head, taking care of him like a young adult. 3x5Dfs

Overlooking the guardrail, you could see people like a long dragon, like clouds of smoke, and the lush mountains and forests. The beauty narrowed his eyes. After a while, he suddenly wrapped his arms tightly around the youth and went to kiss him on the forehead.

The closest thing they did outside was holding hands. Kissing never happens.

“It would feel so sad not to kiss you at this time.” The great beauty laughed, “But kissing should wait until the top of the mountain. It would be a pity to use up the biggest surprise now.”

The boy suddenly had an inexplicable expectation of climbing the summit. This time, he led the great beauty up. nfTA5

The long staircase curved around, coiled around the side of the mountain, and wound into the forest. They looked at the small waterfall cascading in the road, crossed the bridge erected over the rivulet, and finally reached the peak.

A statue of the Avalokiteśvara stood benevolently at the top of the mountain, holding a willow branch and a purifying vase. The people climbing to the top surrounded its feet, lighting incense sticks and praying with the incense. mjzqeI

The young man suddenly approached him and asked, “Can I still make a wish now?”

The great beauty exclaimed, “Of course!”

Anyway, it’s all superstition. How many wishes you want to make would depend on your willingness.

The great beauty quickly lit two more incense together with the teenager and inserted them in the incense burner. They clapped their hands together and started chanting. The young man didn’t say a word. He closed his eyes and was extremely tranquil. XDaYc0

When the great beauty looked at him, he could see an indescribable pious expression on his face.

“What did you wish for?” The great beauty asked him.

The teenager dodged his eyes, as if a little embarrassed, and told him, “I hope I can get into the college and major that I want on the college entrance exam.”

This realistic wish made the great beauty smile. 0xzpvG

“You’ve decided what college you want to go to?” The great beauty squeezed his fingers.

“Thought about it.” The teenager said, “Pheromones research major at B Uni.”

Some time ago, he bought several books to read, studied them carefully, and now made the decision.

The great beauty’s eyes softened and moved his face closer to him, “Want to mark me that much, huh?” His tone was teasing and joyful, “Working hard by yourself is not enough, you have to ask for Guanyin’s blessing.” ZWqDkM

The teenager simply said, “Hmm.”

He was extremely sure, but the expectation was too much. and he was always afraid of whether there would be a sudden accident.

The great beauty’s heartfelt fluffy all over. He looked at this teenager, who was still a cut short of himself, spat out the thing that he had secretly considered for a long time.

“Then you have to make an effort.” The great beauty remarked, “If you do get into B University, I’ll change jobs and go with you to supervise your studies up close.” eNpU29

He kissed the teenager on the lips, “After all, I’d love to mark you, too.”

 


My heart feels fluffy too.  All their past interactions are so domestic ah~ One more chapter left~
