Arrested for impersonating a powerful figure's girlfriend, but forced into a formal relationshi

The old locust tree didn't seem far away, but the path leading there was extremely difficult to traverse, and Yunmiao took a long time to get there.

The old monk lay motionless in his rocking chair, only uttering in a lazy tone, "Draw lots?"

This was Yunmiao's first time drawing lots, and for some reason, she always felt like laughing.

She suppressed a laugh and tried to appear more devout.

"right."

"I only look at marriage prospects here." The old monk simply gestured with his chin towards the divination box. "Draw one directly."

"OK."

Yunmiao casually pulled one out of the divination sticks and handed it to the old monk.

The old monk glanced at the fortune slip, then looked at Yun Miao.

"You have a boyfriend?"

"Yes."

The old monk looked at the fortune slip and slowly got up.

"The towering peaks draw forth purple clouds, but suddenly a jagged cliff collapses halfway down. Do not say that the road ahead is full of flowers, for snow will eventually fall on the farewell platform."

Upon hearing the words "snow falls, farewell," Yunmiao already roughly understood, but still asked a question.

"Excuse me... what does this mean?"

The old monk shook his head.

"What a pity, what a pity, we were destined to meet but not to be together, and we ended up as strangers."

After saying that, he put the divination stick back in the container and lay back down in the rocking chair.

"This old monk interprets fortune sticks according to fate; whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you."

"thank you."

Yunmiao sincerely thanked the old monk, then turned and left without disturbing him any longer.

After meeting up with Xia Xixi and Lin Shuhe, the three of them went down the mountain together.

As you descend the bluestone steps, the shade of the trees deepens, and the scent of incense fades.

In the afternoon, the three of them strolled around the streets and bought some local specialties.

At 10 p.m., Yun Miao dialed Sheng Yinian's number.

On the phone, she talked on and on.

How high is the mountain, how difficult are the steps to climb, how densely packed are the people...

They made no mention of the fortune-telling.

As the call neared its end, Yunmiao prepared to hang up, when a slow, deep voice came from the receiver.

"Did you encounter the Three-Life Guest?"

"No, there were too many people in line, but I met a fortune teller by the wall."

"What was the result?"

Yun Miao hesitated for a moment, but still spoke the truth.

"The master said that we... are destined to meet but not to be together."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, get some rest."

The voice was calm, without any discernible emotional fluctuation.

Yunmiao couldn't tell whether he disbelieved or didn't care.

After hanging up the phone, she lay on her pillow and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Will she and Sheng Yinian really break up when it snows?

-

The next day, the three decided to separate and have their own time.

After washing up, Yunmiao changed into a white puff-sleeved top and a pair of light yellow overalls.

Wearing a flat-billed duck hat that her father had bought for her, she strolled out of the hotel.

The sky was a clear, bright blue, with a few white clouds drifting lazily by.

She was walking slowly along the sidewalk when Lu Yin's voice sounded behind her: "Yun Miao."

Yunmiao pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.

"Yunmiao, I like you."

Without any preamble or embellishment, the confession came straight at you.

Yunmiao pretended not to hear.

Lu Yin quickly took a few steps and stood in front of her, blocking her way.

"Yunmiao, I noticed you the moment you stood in front of the welcome tent filling out the form on your first day of university."

Lu Yin's throat was a little dry.

These words had been in his heart for so long that they felt unfamiliar even to himself when he spoke them aloud.

"It's been almost two years, and I've always liked you, but I..."

"Senior Lu," Yun Miao interrupted him, "I remember telling you the night before last that I have a boyfriend."

"I know!"

Lu Yin's voice sounded somewhat urgent.

"But Yunmiao, do you know what kind of people are in Sheng Yinian's circle?"

"The kind of people who have had everything they want since childhood treat women as consumer goods."

"He'll give you bags and cars when he's in a good mood, but he won't even answer your calls when he's in a bad mood. You think you're his girlfriend, but you're just a contact in his phone."

"They change girlfriends faster than they change cars. You might be sitting in the passenger seat of one of their cars today, and someone else might be sitting there tomorrow."

"Do you know what they do in their spare time? Drinking, gambling, racing cars, chasing girls..."

"A friend of mine has an older brother who's on the fringes of that circle, and he says those people spend money like water."

"Someone who can spend millions in one night at a nightclub, hiring a bunch of girls to drink with him—can you afford to hang out with him?"

"You think he's serious about you?"

"Actually, people of their status and position are just playing around with whoever they're with."

"When you get tired of someone, you just switch to someone else. You don't even have to say goodbye; your assistant can just make a phone call and that's it."

"What will you do then? You're just a student, what can you do?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Miao suddenly smiled.

Because she had thought that way too.

When Lu Yin saw that she smiled, his tone softened.

"Yunmiao, look at me, my feelings for you are genuine."

"From the start of your freshman year until now, almost two years, you've been the only one in my heart."

"Please consider me, okay?" he pleaded.

"Are you done talking?" Yun Miao asked back.

Lu Yin was taken aback.

Yunmiao met his gaze.

"What you just mentioned about drinking, gambling, racing cars, picking up girls, spending millions in a night at nightclubs, and having a bunch of girls accompany you for drinks..." Her eyes were calm. "This person is not Sheng Yinian."

"Yunmiao, listen to me..."

"I've heard everything you have to say."

"But……"

"No buts. Even if I'm not with him, I won't be with you."

Yunmiao walked past him and continued forward.

Lu Yin swayed as he watched her departing figure.

If he hadn't said that first thing to her: "Hey, freshman guide, do you need it?"

Instead, he said directly, "Hello, my name is Lu Yin, may I get to know you?"

Will the ending be different?

Not reconciled.

I'm so unwilling to accept this!

-

Yunmiao walked forward for about seven or eight minutes and saw a small, free amusement park.

A series of "cawing" sounds came from inside.

She was curious, so she followed the sound and saw a group of people gathered in the corner.

I went closer and saw a circle on the ground with seven or eight geese standing inside.

There was a sign next to it: Looping geese, five loops for ten yuan.

Yunmiao had never seen this before and found it novel, so she stood aside and watched.

One guy tried to steal ten yuan's worth of money, but the geese calmly avoided him.

The older brother left, cursing and swearing.

The boss was a man in his forties, tanned dark-skinned, with a bright white smile.

He spotted Yunmiao immediately.

"Little girl, want to give it a try?"

Yunmiao hadn't originally intended to play.

But after the shopkeeper said that, and with onlookers watching her, she felt embarrassed to refuse, so she took out her phone and scanned ten dollars.

She held the hoop, stood outside the line, aimed at the nearest goose, and threw the hoop out.

The plastic ring drew an arc in the air and landed perfectly around the goose's neck.

A cheer immediately erupted from the crowd.

"I won! I won!" The shop owner was even more excited than her. "This young lady has great luck!"

He took the goose out.

A red string was tied around its neck, and the other end was handed to Yunmiao.

"Here you go, your spoils."

Yunmiao could hardly believe it.

This goose... is it hers?

"Should we continue?" the boss asked.

Yunmiao shook her head: "No more."

The main problem is that the hit rate is too high.

When she walked out of the crowd leading her goose, she felt like everyone was watching her.

The old man next to her looked at the duck-shaped hat on her head, then at the goose, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"That goose didn't even flinch just now; it must think you're family!"

Yunmiao grinned at the uncle, quickened her pace, and walked silently out of the amusement park.

After leaving the amusement park, she secretly glanced back at the goose.

The goose was quietly following behind her, strutting around with its head held high.

Every step he took exuded an aura of "this street is under my control."

Yunmiao was amused and suddenly felt there was nothing to be ashamed of.

She straightened her back and tightened her grip on the rope.

The man and the goose walked in unison, striding proudly down the streets of Ningcheng.

Who knows who? Just do whatever makes you happy!

She stopped at the hotel entrance.

Looking at the clean lobby and the standard smiles of the front desk staff, I suddenly realized something.

What should we do with this goose?

She stood at the doorway, and the goose stood at her feet.

Both the man and the goose tilted their heads, lost in thought.

Just as she was caught in a dilemma, a black Maybach slowly pulled up at the bottom of the hotel steps.

The rear windows rolled down silently.

Yunmiao turned her head and met a pair of deep eyes that were smiling.

The man sat in the back seat, one hand resting on the car door, quietly watching her.

Yunmiao was stunned for a while before she reacted.

Sheng Yunian?

How did he end up here!

Without thinking twice, she quickly led the goose down the steps.

As he descended the steps, the orange duck's beak above his head trembled.

The goose beside her stretched its neck back and forth.

The man and the goose arrived in front of the Maybach and stood there awkwardly.

Sheng Yinian's gaze slowly swept over the man and the goose.

"Get in the car," he said calmly. "And bring the goose too."

The voice was very soft, but Yunmiao could tell he was trying to suppress a laugh.
