My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

"Okay! You too, Shiraishi-kun, be careful."

After taking one last, wistful look at the tree trunk that was leaning against him so comfortably, Shiraishi Sawah ran toward the place he had just asked for directions to.

--

The mother and daughter were at the very bottom of the festival procession. Several seemingly ordinary tourists were standing next to them, but Shiraishi Sawa knew from experience that they were all plainclothes bodyguards. The woman who had pointed a gun at him was also among them.

Stopping thinking about scary things, Shiraishi Sawa Hide obediently ran over to greet them, "Chiyo-san and Auntie, I'm back. Let's go over now."

"No rush, it's almost ten o'clock anyway, let's wait until the fireworks here are over." Nao Ichiri pointed to the fireworks trains next to her that were about to be lit.

Just then, Shiraishi Sawa didn't know how to stall for time, so the three of them stood together chatting while waiting for the fireworks to start.

--

This time, they didn't bring any bodyguards; the three of them slowly walked to the entrance of Senju-ji Temple.

This time, Shiraishi Sawahide felt the abbot's surprised and helpless gaze.

Upon entering the temple, the abbot finally couldn't resist and grabbed Shiraishi Sawa's arm:

"My benefactor, turn back before it's too late..."

Chapter 114 The Unwanted Wish to Be Discovered

"My lord, it's not too late to turn back now. Lust is forbidden, and even if you do, you shouldn't indulge in so much..."

The abbot grabbed Shiraishi Zexiu's arm and continued sincerely.

After all, performing a ritual to help 'evil people' is a great act of merit.

Seeing the mother and daughter walking behind looking at him and the abbot with suspicion, Shiraishi Sawah's face darkened.

"No, Abbot, you've made a mistake. I haven't broken any rules; I'm a law-abiding citizen."

The abbot gripped his hand tightly, and Shiraishi Zexiu couldn't break free for a moment. He didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting the abbot's seemingly fragile body.

“Really, Abbot, not only have I not broken the precept against lust, I am also single.”

The abbot's face was full of disbelief.

After Chiyo and Nao figured out the reason, they actually stood aside at the same time, smiling and watching the show.

There was no mistake at birth; just based on the synchronization of their movements, it's definitely their biological child.

"Chiyo and Auntie, stop watching the show and come over here to explain this to me."

“Abbot, this is my son-in-law. May I ask what he has done wrong here?” Nao Ichinori asked with a hint of worry on her face, her eyes filled with confusion and disappointment as she looked at Shiraishi Sawa.

It has to be said that women are born performers. Shiraishi Sawa felt the abbot pinching his arm harder, his eyes clearly saying, 'What else do you have to say?'

--

"You two have really gone too far."

Shiraishi Sawa explained the relationship between the three groups of people in detail to the abbot, and also brought in Ichiyo Ichiri to clarify again. The abbot finally reluctantly believed the matter and let Shiraishi Sawa, the 'guilty person,' in.

"This is the punishment you deserve for having an affair behind my back," Chiyo said teasingly, a smile still lingering on her face.

"Seriously, whoever marries you will be incredibly unlucky."

"Do you believe that if I say I want to get married, the line of men wanting to marry me could stretch all the way to France?"

......

The two of them walked into the main hall, exchanging words as they went.

Facing the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha before him, Shiraishi Sawa felt inexplicably guilty.

“Buddha Shakyamuni, I have come again. As the saying goes, things should not happen more than three times. I have just missed three times. Is that too much to ask? Besides, I have given incense money each time. I am not asking for your blessing. I just hope that you will not harm me.”

After bowing three times, when they got up from their prayer cushions, Chiyo and Nao were still silently reciting something, completely still.

It's true that wealthy people tend to be more devout Buddhists.

Afterwards, Shiraishi Sawa led the two to the golden banyan tree with practiced ease.

“I won’t allow it. I’ve already fulfilled most of my life’s wishes. A woman who is happily married shouldn’t take up the Cowherd and Weaver Girl’s working time.”

Nao looked at the tree full of wishing plaques and said with a smile.

"Chiyo, did you hear that? We can go now. We're already married, so there's no need for further vows."

"Ten minutes for divorce." Chiyo said without turning her head, looking at everyone's wishes on the wishing board.

"What did you say last time? No, both parties need to agree. Let's go back."

“Mother, please change your address.” Chiyo Ichiryu handed a wishing plaque to Nao Ichiryu.

“It is really hard to refuse my daughter’s request, Mr. Shiraishi. I misspoke earlier. Married women can also make wishes.”

"Hey! Auntie, you're the boss, I'll listen to you."

"I've already made my wish: 'May Hidekazu Shiraishizawa have many children and grandchildren as he marries Chiyohachi.' What do you think?"

"Auntie, please pretend I didn't say anything."

"I've finished writing it. Shiraishi-kun, please hang it up for me. Make sure it's high up too."

Nao handed the wishing plaque to Shiraishi Sawa, and the content was exactly what she had just mentioned.

Shiraishi Sawah silently wrote down 'Auntie's wish will not come true' on his third wish for the day.

Before Ichiri Nao could react, Ichiri Chiyo took out her wishing card. "Don't rush, give it to me, Mother."

He erased the original wish he had written down, wrote "Shiraishi Sawa's wish for today will not come true," and handed it to Shiraishi Sawa, asking him to hang it up.

"......"

Did I just make a wish that only led to loneliness?

This time, under the watchful eyes and pressure of the two people, he had no choice but to hang all the wishing plaques on the highest tree branch, as he had no way to secretly change them.

"Shiraishi-kun," Chiyo Ichiriki suddenly called out as she looked at the wishing tree after hanging up.

"what happened?"

"Those two were your wishes, right? 'To become rich through the ways of a gentleman' and 'Please help me fulfill the wish on the left.' It seems that 1.6 million is ill-gotten gains for you."

Did my wish just now negate all three of your wishes? Otherwise, if I change it to the third wish, will it not come true?

"Do you still need it, Shiraishi-kun? I'll give you another 1.7 million when you turn seventeen, how about that?" Hearing what Chiyo Ichiryu said, Nao Ichiryu added with a smile, "I know your bank account number."

"You're too kind, Auntie. 1.6 million is already enough to keep me busy. But Chiyo, do you really want to have a house full of children with me? It's not impossible, but you'll raise the children. I'm getting a divorce in a month and I'll leave with nothing, not even the children."

"How pitiful." Chiyo touched her belly. "Your father has decided to abandon you."

"It's obvious I've been cheated on! Tell me, was it takoyaki or four-happiness meatballs? I'm going to go eat some later to get my revenge."

"Show me the wishes of Soga-san and Takanashi-san."

“Here and here.” Since the wishing plaque is meant to be displayed publicly to everyone, Shiraishi Sawa Hide doesn’t think it would infringe on anyone’s privacy.

Chiyo stepped forward and looked at Takanashi Yuuko's wish. She shook her head and smiled, "Takanashi-san is truly a wonderful girl."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Shiraishi-kun, come and take a look at these prayer beads. Which one looks good? I want to buy one." Nao Ichiriki, who was picking out prayer beads nearby, called over Hideaki Shiraishi.

"Auntie, let me, with my Victoria's Secret eye, take a look at you."

Chiyo continues to look towards Soga Kirei's wish.

The wishing plaque seemed a bit thicker, completely different from the previous one. Upon closer inspection, Chiyo looked at its side and, unsurprisingly, it was two wishing plaques stuck together.

After struggling internally for a long time, I couldn't suppress my curiosity once I entered Chiyo and twisted open the wishing plaque. It seemed to be stuck with sticky rice, so it was easy to twist open.

"Only wishes that are kept secret can be fulfilled. I hope I can be with Shiraishi."

Chiyo's first thought upon entering was to call over Shiraishi Sawa and start attacking and criticizing him, but her mouth opened but no sound came out, and she paused.

She glanced at Shiraishi Sawa, who was chatting and laughing with his mother, and then at the wishing plaque in her hand.

I don't know why, but I don't really want to talk about this.

Chiyo pressed the two wishing plaques tightly together again and pushed them back to their original positions.

Chapter 115 Why are sniper rifles not available on the market?

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly not talking much?"

On the way out of the temple, Shiraishi Sawa walked up to Ichiyo Ichiyori, nudged her waist with his elbow, and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, just depression."

“I was so scared! Your aunt and I were worried that you had cancer. I was just discussing with your aunt where to bury you, and she was discussing what dishes to serve at the banquet.”

"......"

"What's wrong?" Shiraishi Sawa looked at Ichiri Chiyo, who didn't respond, with surprise, and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why aren't you fighting back?"

"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll turn you into nutrients to nourish this little grove."

"That's much more normal."

Because they spent some time choosing Buddhist prayer beads and other souvenirs, the three of them arrived at the Qixi Festival site close to 10:40.

I did the math, and I think I've managed to spend about half an hour with her on average.

"Takashi, has everyone gone home yet? What about you?"

"Not yet, but we're at the subway station now. What about you, Shiraishi-kun? When are you going back?"

"I'm also planning to get on now. Are you in a hurry to get on the bus? If not, wait for me. It'll take a while to get there. Shall we go back together?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you on the rightmost chair in the subway."

"it is good."

--

The Qixi Festival had already ended forty minutes ago, and several shops had already turned off their lights. There weren't many pedestrians left, and most of them were locals who weren't in a hurry to go home.

Several bodyguards in plainclothes were already waiting beside a car for the three of them.
