Chapter 69 Improper Relationship

"I'm afraid you won't be used to those dishes." She explained specifically.

Shang Hexing said: "Everything you arranged is fine."

Wen Zhi thought about Shang Hexing's noble status, so before he sat down, he wiped the wooden bench with a tissue.He saw it in his eyes and stopped her with a wave of his hand: "When you go out, you don't pay attention to these things."

Wen Zhi asked again: "Do you want to drink water? The kettle is outside the dining hall. It is public. I will pick it up."

She was so attentive and yet so distant and polite in her words, the distance between the two of them grew further and further.

Shang Hexing stared at her for a moment and then said, "I'm sorry."

"Small things."

Wen Zhi poured a cup of hot water from a disposable cup and came in. She deliberately lingered outside for a while. When she came in, the braised noodles were already placed in front of Shang Hexing.

Without moving his chopsticks, he raised his eyes to look at her: "Are you in line?"

Wen Zhi was obviously stunned for a moment, and answered him seriously: "Well, there were many pilgrims today, so we had to wait in line for a while."

But Shang Hexing suddenly said: "I just came out and saw you squatting next to the kettle. You must have something on your mind?"

Wen Zhi: "..." It turns out he caught him in action.

Shang Hexing raised his eyes, her outline reflected in his dark pupils: "If you don't mind, how about telling me what's on your mind?"

Wen Zhi: "...No way."

She didn't know if it was her imagination. Shang Hexing's face looked angry. What was he angry about?Angry at her politeness and alienation?Or are you angry with her for hanging around outside?
She wondered, but didn't ask.

Because it's inappropriate to ask.

"I won't hide it from Mr. Shang, I have some concerns, but since they are concerns, naturally I just want to keep them in my heart." Wen Zhiyan smiled at Yan Yan, as if he was a fine person, "And I am used to digesting myself. I don't need anyone to solve my problems for me. I won’t talk to Mr. Shang anymore.”

After saying that, she put the hot water in his hand and turned to leave the dining hall.

Shang Hexing looked down at the bowl of braised noodles in front of him. He had no appetite, but he still ate it.

……

Wen Zhi continued to clean the yard. She had to finish the work when Kong Ci was away, otherwise Kong Ci would be very busy.

Unexpectedly, when she came back, she saw Kongci standing next to the broom she left behind, waiting for her: "You're back."

Wen Zhi immediately said: "I'm not lazy, I'm leading the pilgrims to the dining hall."

"I know, I saw it." Kongci asked again, "Do you know that pilgrim?"

Wen Zhi shook his head without thinking: "I don't know."

Kong Ci clasped her hands together and said: "Female donor, treat others with kindness, not only to benefit others, but also to benefit others."

Wen Zhi turned away his face: "I don't understand."

Kong Ci stared at Wen Zhi for a long moment and said seriously, "You don't look illiterate. Could it be that I saw it wrong."

Wen Zhi: "..."!
It has to be said that Kong Ci was born into Buddhism. He can read faces and understand things very well. It seems that he can see everything clearly at a glance.

Even what she was thinking at this moment, Kong Ci could see it, and told her with a straight face: "Master Huijue said that I am young and have not been exposed to the secular world. I can face people's hearts directly, observe other people's thoughts, and understand right and wrong. ."

Wen Zhi was stunned for a while.

Kong Ci also said: "I also saw that your relationship was inappropriate."

"..." Wen Zhi calmly corrected him: "It's abnormal."

What's wrong! ? ?

Kong Ci thought about it seriously and said, "Yes, it's abnormal."

Wen Zhi: "The relationship with him is normal. Don't make random guesses at your young age. The most important thing is to eat more vegetarian food and grow taller."

Kong Ci threw the broom to Wen Zhi, put his hands behind his back, and walked past Wen Zhi with his head held high: "You can also sweep the steps outside the courtyard."

Wen Zhi banged the broom: "Are you angry?"

Kong Ci warned: "Female donors, face your heart and keep your mouth shut. Misfortunes will come from your mouth." Wen Zhi said with a bitter look on his face: "How many steps are there outside the courtyard?"

Kongci: “Count it yourself.”

Wen Zhi: "..."

Next, Wen Zhi counted the steps carefully while sweeping the steps. There were 53 steps. After finishing the sweep, her back ached and she was very tired.

Returning to the yard outside the dormitory, Wen Zhi was rubbing her shoulders as she walked. At this time, she suddenly stopped and the hand rubbing her shoulders stopped.

There is a stone table set up specifically for pilgrims in the courtyard, with two wooden chairs placed next to it.

But at this moment, Shang Hexing, who should have left the temple after finishing his fast, was sitting on a wooden chair next to the stone table. On the table were a pot of tea and two tureens. The tea had a pleasant fragrance.He sat quietly alone, looking down at a copy of the "Sutra of Enlightenment" that he found somewhere in the temple. He said nothing, his expression was focused, and his noble aura could not be concealed.

Wen Zhi came over and asked, "Why is Mr. Shang in the dormitory?"

Shang Hexing did not answer, but stretched out his hand to signal her: "Sit down."

Wen Zhi hesitated for a few seconds before sitting down. Shang Hexing knew that she was in a complicated mood and asked her before intervening in the topic: "Are you used to drinking tea?"

Wen Zhi nodded.

Shang Hexing freed up one hand to hold the pot of tea, poured a cup for Wen Zhi, put it in front of her and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What?" She was puzzled.

Shang Hexing asked him: "Little Master Kongci asked you to sweep the 53 steps in the front yard. Isn't it hard enough?"

Wen Zhi was dumbfounded, did he know this? !
"This tea is not strong." He motioned for her to drink tea.

But Wen Zhi didn't drink. Instead, he asked him clearly: "Are you here to see me?"

Shang Hexing raised his chin slightly in the direction behind her. Wen Zhi turned around. The direction behind her was the dormitory where Meng Fan lived.

After Meng Fan left today, the deacon monk immediately came and sent someone to clean up the room for another pilgrim.

Wen Zhi was not slow and understood instantly, but she still couldn't believe it - "Mr. Shang is a pilgrim in the dormitory opposite?"

Shang Hexing stared at her: "Do you mind?"

Wen Zhi sighed: "The dormitory is not my private residence. I have nothing to mind."

But she didn't understand. She put her hands on the stone table and leaned over to ask him: "Isn't Mr. Shang on a business trip? Why did he suddenly come to stay in the temple?"

Shang Hexing smiled: "You know I'm on a business trip?"

Wen Zhi told the truth: "I didn't know about it at first, but I heard Meng Fan mention it by chance."

Shang Hexing: "She tells you everything."

Seeing that the topic was about to change again, Wen Zhi asked him again: "Why did Mr. Shang come to the temple?"

"Don't you believe I would offer incense and make a wish?" he asked.

"I don't believe it." Wen Zhi shook his head, very sincerely.

Shang Hexing stared at Wen Zhi's brows and spoke softly: "Then you might as well take a bold guess as to why I'm here."

Wen Zhi's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he subconsciously avoided his gaze: "I guess not..."

"For you," he said suddenly.

He didn't hide it, he was so frank that Wen Zhi's heart palpitated.

Shang Hexing looked at Wen Zhi's reaction and asked her quietly: "Are you scared?"

Wen Zhi stood up straight and his expression returned to normal: "In the temple, Mr. Shang would be better off not joking casually."

"This is no joke." Shang Hexing placed the "Sutra of Enlightenment" that he had never left his hand on the stone table. "If you mind, we can go outside and talk."

Wen Zhi was startled.

He stretched out his hand towards her, his brows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of confusion, and asked her word by word: "Will you go outside with me?"

 Thank you Xing Yueer for the reward, thank you Baozi for your support
