After getting the lottery tube, Ye Mian followed the host's instructions and shook it religiously.

The bamboo sticks swayed in the bamboo stick, making a crisp hitting sound.

In the world of Buddhism, the most indispensable thing is the incense.

The light coming in from the high window made the outline of the incense clear.

Ye Mian knelt in the middle of the side hall.

I shook it for almost 5 minutes.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m not skilled enough, but several bamboo sticks fall out of the tube every time.

The abbot was not impatient. He stood nearby and kindly helped her pick it up, encouraging her to calm down and shake it again.

It wasn't until the last time that a single brown bamboo stick fell out of the stick, and it fell far away along the parabola.

Ye Mian got up and went to pick up bamboo sticks.

There was a little dust on the sign, so she stretched out her hand to wipe it on it, and looked at the writing on it slowly and carefully.

There were only numbers and two ancient characters that seemed to represent time.

Ye Mian couldn't understand the meaning.

The host took the money from her hand, looked at it, and explained it to her.

"Donor, this is a lottery. What you ask for is difficult and dangerous. I'm afraid everything will be in vain in the end. You should enjoy the process and not interfere with yourself for other people's affairs. Marriage can be happy and ruined, so you should do it. The path of travel is free and pious, and karma and retribution are entangled endlessly. I can't see clearly and cannot explain clearly."

The abbot's words echoed in the hall.

The moment Ye Mian heard the signing of the lottery, he felt a little dazed.

This is her first time asking for a signature.

She began to regret asking the gods for such a thing.

In the end, everything comes to nothing.

This sentence is simply terrible.

It was as if God was telling her.

No matter how hard you try, it's all in vain.

Ye Mian was so distracted that her fingers were wrapped around the strap of her bag. For the first time, Xing'er's eyes were unfocused, confused and trapped.

Seeing this, the abbot forgave her and said: "Don't bring troubles to yourself. If you peel away the confusion in everything, you will be lucky."

After saying that, he went to see another pilgrim.

Because she had been there for a long time, Jiang Chen came in from outside the temple and saw her standing alone in the corner, holding a signature in a daze.

"Xiao Ye Mian?" He walked over suddenly, bent down to meet her eyes, and smiled gently: "Why are you here alone in a daze?"

His smile is gentle and striking.

Ye Mian came out of his daze and was in a trance for a moment.

After she came to her senses, she handed Jiang Chen the signature wrapped in her palm, her voice lowered.

"I drew a lot."

Jiang Chen took the signature and only glanced at it, then shook his head and laughed: "Is it a very important thing?"

Ye Mian nodded.

This is certainly important.

At least that's what she has been thinking about for many years.

Jiang Chen smiled silently and looked at the pilgrims coming and going around him. He took Ye Mian's hand and pulled her outside the hall.

Walk to the pavilion next to it.

Ye Mian raised her little face to look at him.

The warmest spring sun shone on his face, coating his whole body with a layer of golden light. He was as cold and gentle as ever, and his eyes were darker than the sky above.

He raised his hand and took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette for himself, and lit the signature while puffing away.

Ye Mian was stunned. The signature was only a thin layer, and it was made of flammable material. A few seconds would be enough to burn most of it.

It was too late to stop him.

The burned ashes followed the wind and fell into the moist soil.

Jiang Chen raised his eyes.

The sky was slightly bright at that time, reflecting her confusion. Ye Mian pointed to the ashes on the ground, a little puzzled: "How to burn it? Is there a process for drawing lots?"

"Well, yes." Jiang Chen slowly raised the corners of his mouth, suppressing the guilt of lying to the girl, and looked through her at the mountains and forests behind him, "It doesn't matter if you get the lottery, Xiao Ye Mian can tell you if you have any wishes. I said, I will make it happen for you."

Ye Mian was stunned.

Is this what you want to ask for?Say it and let another person do it?Does Jiang Chen regard himself as Aladdin’s magic lamp?The look in her eyes was too shocking and absurd, and Jiang Chen naturally noticed it, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It was better to rely on him than to rely on gods to appear.

The girl's world was simple and her family was harmonious. Apart from that, he didn't think she had any wishes that he couldn't satisfy.

Ye Mian suddenly felt better.

But she couldn't really tell Jiang Chen about it.

After thinking about it, she looked into Jiang Chen's pale eyes and said, "Then I will make a wish."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Ye Mian faced the vast forest sea and spoke to Jiang Chen in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I hope Jiang Chen will spend the New Year with me next year, the year after that, and the year after that."

This was the wish she made in front of the fireworks at midnight on New Year's Day.

Now that it was May, she told Jiang Chen her wish again.

The man's eyes flashed with fear for a moment, and then disappeared under his cold appearance.

Ye Mian smiled and turned around, only having time to catch the faint smile in his eyes, one of the few that went straight to the bottom of his eyes.

She thought, if this wish can come true.

Then Jiang Chen's matter will be over.

It can be regarded as completing her purpose.

Jiang Chen stood upright next to the stone pillar. When she was dazed, he let out a puff of smoke, raised his chin at her and smiled:

"Okay, it's quite simple."

May is finally here.

There is still more than a month left before the graduation of the junior year. The school has stricter management of students in class, and almost every teacher has to do a roll call in class.

Some students who moved out chose to move back from off campus in order to cope with the courses.

Ye Mian is one of them.

She moved back to school, and Qin Feifei and Wang Xiang were the happiest.

For a whole month, the three of them were almost inseparable.

Occasionally, I would see Guan Yi's group of young men, and they would greet each other with a smile. They were neither too close nor too unfamiliar.

During this period, I also met several times with Guan Yi’s girlfriend Xu Wen.

Xu Wen also has a good temper. She is born with the appearance of a peaceful country and a peaceful people. She also tends to dress quietly and elegantly, and has the dignified and elegant beauty of oriental women.

As Guan Yi's girlfriend.

She had some objections to Ye Mian at first.

Later, as time changed, this opinion faded away.

The main reason is that her relationship with Guan Yi seems to have reached a bottleneck due to age.

Guan Yi has a good family background and good education. She originally thought that such a person would be a good match for her.

But since graduating from college, she has always felt that life is too dull, and she has never experienced the excitement of youth.

Guan Yi is not a romantic person.

She even felt that when the silly Zhou Yu sensationally pursued Ye Mian, that kind of desperateness was called love.

So every time she saw Ye Mian, she couldn't be more envious.

Naturally, he became a little closer to her.

People will eventually move closer to the people they envy.

Part of it breeds jealousy.

Part of it is homogeneous.

She didn't have any evil intentions, she just thought Ye Mian was pretty, and unconsciously paid attention to Ye Mian's dressing style and behavior.

later.

The similarity is so obvious that when two people are in the same classroom, there are always a few elements that are particularly similar.

Qin Feifei was aware of this, and so was Ye Mian.

But no one found it strange.

Ye Mian herself would ask for the link to buy some good-looking clothes and accessories.

I really don’t think there’s any need to take it to heart.
