"Imprisonment Diary Day 14"

14是个很特殊的数字，提起14你或许会想到阿森纳14号蒂埃里・亨利；或许会想到硅元素的序数是14；或许会想到买楼层的时候儘量避免14楼。

But whether in divination or numerology.

14. Without exception, they all share one meaning: moderation.

It is temperance in the literal sense, representing harmony, balance, and patience.

That is, learning to restrain oneself.

Because the Temperance card in its upright position represents finding the middle way, the integration of emotions and relationships, and taking things step by step. Healing, communication, and long-distance travel all require slowing down to last.

The reversed card represents imbalance, impatience, internal and external conflicts, miscommunication, and eagerness for quick success.

Today is the last day of my prison diary.

Actually, today should have been the last day to test the potion's effects.

Logically speaking, it should be the day to finalize and confirm the relationship.

But after writing the beginning of my diary in the morning, I stopped at the table and hesitated to continue writing.

Instead, he picked up the tarot deck and drew another card.

It's worth mentioning that every time she calculated her marriage with Lu Yuan, the card she drew was the Eternal. The Eternal card, which sounds very nice, actually tells people that there is no such thing as eternity in the world, and that everything is destined to be lost.

But this time, she drew a card of temperance.

Temperance doesn't sound very good; at least compared to eternity, it clearly lacks a lot of romance.

But the meaning of moderation is to tell everyone: proceed step by step and be patient.

"control."

Shang Qingya took a deep breath and sealed away her Day 14 diary.

She decided to temporarily forget that today is Day 14.

Forget that today is supposed to be the day to confirm the relationship; treat it with a more normal attitude, just like any other day.

After repeatedly preparing myself mentally.

Shang Qingya regained her composure.

She took a deep breath, walked out of the room, and said to Lu Yuan, who was getting dressed and preparing to leave:

"I saw a really good restaurant online, let's go there together tonight."

"If it looks delicious online, it must be a popular online restaurant. Popular online restaurants are expensive, so I won't go. I'll save my money."

Lu Yuan shook his head, refusing outright.

"I received a lot of gifts last night, which was a pleasant surprise. I guess I should treat myself."

Shang Qingya didn't know who sent the gift, but whoever sent it, it was an unexpected bonus.

Just like winning the lottery, there's nothing wrong with rewarding yourself.

"I have something to do tonight, let's talk after I'm done."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

But the more Lu Yuan shook his head, the more Shang Qingya frowned.

The scenes she imagines are mostly romantic.

For example, she might be having dinner at a romantic restaurant one evening, preparing a romantic confession, and then, amidst cheers from the entire audience, Lu Yuan would say: "I love you."

But it's too far, so I won't go.

She had no choice but to desperately tell herself to "exercise restraint."

What's on your mind tonight?

Shang Qingya still really hopes to complete the "confirmation of relationship" today.

However, she doesn't force people to travel far; if something really happens at night, she can wait.

"Shen Jia called me, saying she had something urgent to do, but I don't know what she wanted to do."

???

Shang Qingya watched Lu Yuan's departing figure.

I almost fainted from the stress.

...

Lu Yuan jingled his keychain and carried his takeout to the movie theater.

Looking at the mountain of takeout food piled up in front of Shen Jia and Shen Jia's grinning face.

A method that is so familiar that it cannot be more so.

I ordered takeout like crazy, trying to get every delivery rider in the area to come.

Until Lu Yuan was called.

Lu Yuan wasn't surprised she could do something like that; he was just curious:

"Didn't you say you'd call me tonight?"

"The matter is urgent and must be expedited."

"Is it urgent? Can't we just call and say so?"

"This makes it seem more like a chance encounter."

Lu Yuan pulled out a chair in the cinema's rest area, sat down, and said calmly:

"What is it?"

"I want to ask, what exactly is the difference between me and Shang Qingya?"

Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?

"Nonsense, of course we'll listen to the truth."

"You're not as pretty as her."

Shen Jia wasn't annoyed by these words, as if she knew Lu Yuan would say such a thing:

"But I can make up for it in other ways."

For example.

"I can spend money on you."

Shen Jia has gained weight, but she has also grown up and begun to think about problems from an adult perspective.

Since Lu Yuan is back to working as a food delivery driver, he must have had a bad experience outside.

Money can smooth out all the wrinkles in life.

"I have money."

"What would I need money for?"

"Lu Yuan, you're so unrealistic."

Shen Jia winked at him.

She said, "You're such a boring person. When you talk about others, your words are like knives, but when you talk about yourself, you start creating a persona."

Believe it or not.

Lu Yuan crossed his legs, disdainful of arguing with her, and changed the subject:

"If it's urgent, say so quickly."

"Shang Qingya's father is getting married."

"oh."

"Whoever marries him is truly unlucky."

Shen Jia said this, but Lu Yuan did not respond.

What's so unlucky about it?

Can a good woman marry Shang Yan?

What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid? You can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people.

"How do you know about this?"

"That's what my mom said before you went back to Beihai."

"How did your mother find out?"

"He said a man named Shang Yan went to headquarters and said he was the family member of Lu Yuan, an excellent rider, and that his family was now facing difficulties, asking if they could provide some compensation."

"You learn a word and then use it? Is that how you use a death benefit?"

He wouldn't believe it if just anyone said it, but it came from Shang Yan's mouth.

Lu Yuan had no reason not to believe it.

The name "Shang Yan" is its own trademark.

"I understand. Is there anything else?"

"That's all."

"oh."

Lu Yuan said "oh" and then said "thank you" very seriously.

"Actually, you don't need to thank me. I just wanted to find an excuse to ask you out for a chat."

"I still have to thank you."

"Didn't Shang Qingya break off her relationship with Shang Yan? That shouldn't affect you much, right?"

"It doesn't affect me much." Lu Yuan sighed. "She has no home anymore."

"Her father didn't care about her anyway, so what kind of family is that?"

Shen Jia said this, and in fact, any bystander would have said the same thing.

But Lu Yuan clearly had a different perspective on this matter.

"You lucky kids would never understand."
