However, Zhai Jing had no intention of changing his mind. He explained,
“There’s a Taoist temple on this mountain called Qingfeng Temple. When I was working part-time in the past, I received an errand from outside the province. The customer asked me to help him get a safety talisman here and then send it to him.”
Zhai Jing recalled the scene at that time.
“It was probably because the Taoist temple was relatively deserted. When the
Abbey Dean saw me, he said that we were fated to meet, so he told me to ask for a divination”
Le Wan interrupted,
“Free?”
Zhai Jing was speechless.
“Ten yuan for a divination.”
Le Wan mercilessly ridiculed the Abbey Dean for being a swindler.
“It was probably worth as much as ten yuan.”
Or rather, the Abbey Dean was actually good at doing business. After all, for a poor student like Zhai Jing who lacked money, he could take out ten yuan without much heartache.
If he dared to raise the price a little more, Le Wan wouldn’t doubt that Zhai Jing would turn around and leave.
Since he was already here, Zhai Jing finally spent ten yuan. He closed his eyes and asked for good fortune. The fortune showed that his life would soon usher in a huge turn for the better.
At that time, when Zhai Jing saw the fortune, although he didn’t really believe it, it looked quite auspicious, so he joked with the Abbey Dean that if it came true, he would definitely come back to fulfill his wish.
Now that it had happened, it wasn’t good to go back on one’s word.
Le Wan didn’t expect that a genius like Zhai Jing, who seemed to be invincible, would actually go to the Taoist temple to ask for a divination. She asked curiously,
“What did you ask for then?”
At the mention of this matter, Zhai Jing’s gaze softened. He lowered his head to look at Le Wan, placed his hand on her head, and gently stroked her soft hair.
“I had two requests at that time. The first one was that I hoped that my mother’s illness could turn for the better and help her overcome the current difficulties”
When Le Wan heard that it was such a big matter, she nodded repeatedly.
“Then you should come and fulfill your wish.”
As a result, her reluctance to climb the mountain decreased significantly. Then, she heard Zhai Jing continue, “This second matter is related to you.” “Ah?” Le Wan opened her mouth.
“What is it about me?
She thought for a moment.
“Could it be that you helped me get good grades for the college entrance examination?
After all, it was said that he was pleading on behalf of Mother Zhai. This meant that Zhai Jing had come up the mountain before Aunties operation. At that time, Zhai Jing was helping her with her revision. There were no signs of a relationship between the two of them.
Le Wan’s eyes lit up.
“So you started praying for my college entrance examination results at that time?
Zhai Jing smiled faintly and didn’t say anything. He had actually come to this Taoist temple earlier than this.
At that time, his relationship with Le Wan wasn’t considered close, so Zhai Jing didn’t refute Le Wan’s statement.
However, when Le Wan saw his reaction, she felt that something wasn’t right. She lowered her head and thought for a moment.
“Speaking of which, I’ve always been curious. When did you fall in love with me?’
Zhai Jing was stunned for a moment.
“Why do you suddenly ask this?”
“Isn’t it normal for couples to want to know about this?” Le Wan said confidently.
Zhai Jing didn’t answer but asked,
“What about you? When did you fall in love with me?”
Le Wan recalled the first time she saw Zhai Jing. She couldn’t help but open the car door because she sympathized with him. After that, every time they got along, the past scenes surfaced in front of her. She realized that she couldn’t tell when she had started to have feelings for Zhai Jing.
Thus, Le Wan said frankly,
“I can’t say for sure.”
Anyway, by the time she realized it, she had already fallen for him. After some hesitation and struggle, she realized that she still liked him.
Zhai Jing wasn’t surprised by her answer and gave the same answer.
“I’m not sure either.”
When Le Wan heard this answer, she felt a little regretful. However, she had never been a person who liked to be conflicted, so she put this matter aside. “Since you’re here to fulfill your wish, I’ll accompany you.”
Le Wan rolled up her sleeves and stepped onto the first step. Then, she waved at Zhai Jing.
“Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s set off early and try to get down the mountain before it gets dark in the evening.”
Unexpectedly, Zhai Jing grabbed her hand and pointed to the cable car not far away.
“There’s no need to climb. Just take the cable car up.”
Of course, Le Wan knew that she could take the cable car up.
“But if we want to fulfill our wishes, wouldn’t we have to climb the mountain to show our sincerity?”
Zhai Jing replied,
“Yes, so you can take the cable car and I’ll climb the mountain. After all, I’m the one who came to fulfill my wish..”
