You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"If I could sing a complete song, it would be a thank you and praise to Him~"

No, it's still out of tune.

Don't be impatient, take your time.

The girl was thinking about going to the beach to play in the waves, or finding a place to borrow equipment for diving (she had seen such advertisements), or driving a jet ski or paragliding.

I wonder if it’s too late?

While I was shaking my hands and thinking, suddenly, a graceful girl in a pink T-shirt walked out from the main entrance of the Saint Love Hotel, swinging her two white arms and looking left and right as she walked.

Is it her? Is it not her? It should be her.

Although the girl looked around, she couldn't see Shen Jie.

Shen Jie went over and wanted to say a few words to Yu Luying.

Yu Luying still didn't see her and walked straight in one direction.

Her legs were very long and she walked very fast. Shen Jie walked fast and slowly for a long time, but the distance between the two of them was actually shortened a lot.

Shen Jie wanted to shout out Yu Luying's name loudly, but as soon as she said the word "Yu", she swallowed the next two words back.

She originally wanted to find Yu Luying to ask if she felt that Xiao Yao was not acting normal these days, as if he had been possessed by someone.

But she was also worried that Yu Luying would say, "He is normal, just abnormal towards you."

That would be like sending your face to the countryside and bringing humiliation upon yourself.

While hesitating, he followed for a while.

Not sure if it was out of curiosity or something else, but Shen Jie finally decided for some unknown reason that she might as well follow this little bastard to the end and see where he was going and what he was going to do.

Although most likely it's just to buy something or take a walk alone.

After walking another half a mile, Shen Jie became more and more confused about what she was doing. She kept scolding herself for being stupid and doing something inappropriate.

Yu Luying walked in twists and turns, asking people for directions along the way, but she didn't look back.

Shen Jie followed her past the entrance of a Dragon King Guanyin Temple, saw Yu Luying stop and look for a moment, then continued on her way.

I thought you, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, were going to change your job.

Shen Jie continued to follow Yu Luying for nearly a kilometer. Just when she was about to turn back and give up, the target stopped again.

After looking both ways, the girl crossed the road and turned towards a magnificent building.

"Dongqi Hotel?" Shen Jie muttered to herself, "What is she doing there?"

Hotel... Could it be... ?

Of course, how is that possible.

It has come to this point. There is no point in going back home without seeing the situation clearly.

Shen Jie entered the lobby of Dongqi Hotel and quietly found a sofa in the corner to sit down. She didn't see Yu Luying and thought she had lost her. She looked around for a long time before finally seeing Yu Luying in another inconspicuous corner.

She just stood there.

He looks weak, pitiful and helpless.

Shen Jie quickly hid behind another large pillar and observed secretly.

Yu Luying just stood there, looking around from time to time, but did not take out her cell phone to look at it.

After waiting for about ten minutes, suddenly, a well-dressed and handsome middle-aged man walked towards her and said a few words to Yu Luying.

Yu Luying nodded repeatedly.

The two people started talking.

Shen Jie's heart was pounding.

What should I do at this time?

Take a picture with your phone first?

I just rushed over, slapped her in the face, and said, "Well, you little bitch, you dare to cheat on me outside!"

At this time, the panicked man will ask himself who he is.

I answered confidently: "I am her boyfriend's wife!"

The girl laughed at the farce playing out in her mind, then looked back at the two men.

After the two chatted for a few more words, the man took something out of his pocket and handed it to Yu Luying.

Yu Luying took the thing, bowed to the man and said something. The man just waved his hand and turned away.

Yu Luying put away her phone and turned to walk towards the gate of Dongqi Hotel.

What did they secretly trade?

If I were to interrogate Yu Luying directly, not only would I expose the obscene fact that I stalked her, but I might not be able to get the truth out of her.

Then let’s start with that man and find out his background!

Chapter 298 "A Young Girl in Love" Shen Jie

2023-08-17

*This chapter is also called "Which girl doesn't have spring in her heart?"

Shen Jie followed the man for a while. He seemed to have received a debt collection call. After begging for mercy, he impatiently reprimanded another caller. He did not look as elegant as he looked. After asking the people in the hotel lobby and the nearby fishermen, she only knew that he was a foreigner who had just arrived here recently. The locals knew very little about his name and identity. The hotel naturally could not disclose it due to the principle of confidentiality. In the end, she only got some superficial information.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the girl walked back along the same path she had come based on her memory.

When I passed by the Dragon King Temple, I wanted to pee, but I saw that the temple didn't charge admission, so I went in and found a public toilet to solve the problem.

He shook off the water droplets on his hands and walked out. Seeing that there was still time, he walked around inside and outside.

Behind the Vajra Hall is the Dragon King Hall, which enshrines the four Dragon Kings of the east, west, south, and north... The unlucky guy whose golden cudgel was taken away by Sun Wukong should be Donghai, right?

I walked through the temple all the way to the deepest part, and found that there was no main hall of Tathagata. Instead, there was a huge male statue of Guanyin enshrined in the main hall. I found it a bit strange - it seemed that male Guanyin statues were only popular in temples before the Tang Dynasty, and they were often seen in the central region and the Hexi Corridor. I didn't expect to see them here too.

The girl took a few photos.

After climbing up to the Seaview Pavilion and wandering around for a while, the girl felt dazed at the windmills and the sea level not too far away. She began to think about questions like "Who am I?", "Why am I here?" and "What the hell am I doing?"

This was the first time in seventeen years that Shen Jie was upset because of something happening to a man of the same age.

She didn't really care about these things before.

When did fulfilling one's duty start to resemble love? Is this what they call getting too deep into a role?

Of course, since you are also going to spend your life with someone, it is not a bad thing to fall in love with him.

If the other party hadn't treated him coldly.

From the frustration of being rejected on a date recently to the joy of catching Yu Luying's little handle, I, Shen Jie, am obviously not such a shallow person.

For the first time since I met that person, I experienced this feeling of being out of control-whether it was his out-of-control or her own out-of-control, this feeling amplified her anxiety about leaving home.

As mentioned before - this is not Shen Jie: Shen Jie is angry at herself for being like this.

Relying one's sense of security and daily mood on another natural person has never been "Shen Jie's" style.

If I had known this would happen, I would have gone with Xiao Yao to the summer camp by himself, let the two of them have fun, and stayed behind to plan the details of the future with Meiyu.

Forget it. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to sit there and worry about why your man doesn’t answer the phone or reply to messages every day?

Otherwise, he would just overturn the table and revoke the special favor that allowed the two of them to date. If Xiao Yao dared to disobey, he could go home and admit his mistake with a clear conscience.

Go home and admit my mistake? ... Shen Jie was shocked by this fleeting thought.

By the way, whether I was in the "Sacrament Room" or strolling here, my mind was always uneasy.

Shen Jie actually likes the atmosphere of the Eucharist room.

A small side room with twenty or so small chairs, soft carpet, soft lighting, and the buzzing sound of air conditioning.

The temperature there was always very low, and people always spoke in low voices, not daring to breathe loudly or bump into anything to make noises. Some people were reading, some were silently chanting, some were dozing off (Xiao Yao was often drowsy), and some were meditating. The atmosphere was a bit like the library of the No. 7 Girls' High School, but not quite the same.

There is a long electronic candle on each side of the small altar in front, and in the center is a vessel made of precious metal. In the center of the vessel is placed a large, pure round, white, unfermented wheat cake, separated by a small piece of glass for people to admire.

According to the priests, this represents - no, this is the flesh of the gods.

Shen Jie found it difficult to imagine such a thing. After all, the piece of bread looked like just a piece of bread. Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote, "What the five senses lack, faith must supplement." The girl was not sure if she really understood it, but at least, for the first time in her life, she calmed herself down and searched for God, herself, and inner peace in a state of emptiness.

Peace... Joy...

She hasn't found it yet.

What is not found in the tabernacle is still less to be found among the clay statues in the temple.

Shen Jie got off the Wanghai Pavilion and prepared to leave. Although the temple covers a large area, it is very dilapidated, with few pilgrims and few monks. In the main hall of Guanyin, a little monk was dozing off with a small sign in front of him that said "Seeking marriage registration".

Marriage...huh?

When I reached the temple gate, a short and fat middle-aged man came towards me. The two passed each other, then stopped at the same time and turned around.

“Ouch!” “Ouch!”

"It's you!" "It's really you!"

The person who came was Master Shi Hui, who was dressed in casual clothes.

"Aren't you in Shanghai?" Shen Jie asked curiously.

"I came here to do something," Shi Hui said with a smile, "to help them with some... accounting auditing work. Why are you here, little girl?"

Shen Jie briefly told Shi Hui about the summer camp, and they were both amazed and said, "What a coincidence."

"However, the Lotus Sutra says that all worldly conditions are like this." Shi Hui said, "There is no need to be too surprised."

Shi Hui invited Shen Jie to go to the Guanyin Temple again to burn three incense sticks and draw a lot, and patted his chest and said that everything would be free as long as he was there.

Shen Jie politely declined Shi Hui's kindness.

If I keep hitting people here and there, God and Guanyin will probably frown when they see me, the girl thought sarcastically.

After saying goodbye to Shi Hui and returning to the Sheng'ai Hotel, Shen Jie saw a small group holding signs arguing with several security guards.

After asking around, Shen Jie found out that these were local fans of Dicky Cheung. They got the news from somewhere and came over to see their idol. The security guards wouldn't let them in, so they started pushing and shoving.

Most of these people are local fans from Dongqi, and a few have come from nearby neighboring areas. They are all very excited.

Shen Jie shrugged her shoulders, walked around them as if it had nothing to do with her, and was about to go to the restaurant to eat some affordable seafood, but she happened to see Xiao Yao walking towards her.

When Shen Jie saw the tall figure in the green T-shirt walking towards her, her heart ached and she turned her head away.

Just before she turned her head away, she saw Xiao Yao smile at her subconsciously.

When he turned his head back, Xiao Yao had already walked between the security guards and fans.

Are you meddling in other people's business again? Shen Jie thought.

After finding out what happened, Xiao Yao turned to the man who looked like the head of security and asked, "Security master, are you a church member?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" It should be that few people asked the security manager such a question, and the uncle was stunned for a moment.

"Look at these people. There aren't that many of them. It's not easy for them to come all the way here," Xiao Yao advised. "The door of the church shouldn't be open to everyone, right?"

"This is not a church," the security guard said anxiously, "This is an internal group activity. We have rules..."

"These people," Xiao Yao took a step closer and lowered his voice, "If even just one of them saw the radiance of faith in their idols and was infected by it, wouldn't that be a great merit for you?"

The head of the security guard was stunned by what he said, wondering if this person was the person in charge of some camp or activity. Before he knew it, the fans had already rushed in, and the security guards did not stop them.

Shen Jie shook her head secretly in her heart. Generally speaking, activities involving venues with clear ownership need to be communicated in advance. For many venue providers, this is one of their daily sources of income. Letting people in so rashly, not to mention the unexpected risks that may be caused by the lack of organizational planning, the relevant person in charge of the church may also complain about him.

Could it be that this is the type of Xiao Yao that I like?

how is this possible.

Without speaking to Xiao Yao, Shen Jie continued walking towards the dining room, but accidentally caught a glimpse of a thin but energetic old man standing in an inconspicuous corner, looking in the direction of Xiao Yao thoughtfully.

Hey, this old gentleman looks familiar. Is he the one who gave the opening speech at the summer camp... ?

He hasn't left yet. I thought he had left a long time ago.

……

……

That afternoon, Xiao Yao was harassed by Shen Jie's text messages and phone calls during his beloved history class.
