Chapter 62: His God will bless him.

Yu Fan stiffly turned his head, seeing a group of acquaintances on his right side, he didn't get over it for a long time.

"You ...... "Face to face for a long time before Yu Fan found his voice, "Why, are you here, here."

"That indoor playground is 60% off for twenty people in a group! Ha ha ha!" Wang Luan repeated, "Why are you and the school bully here? Aren't you guys going on a date?"

Twenty pairs of eyes were staring at him, and there were many people who looked familiar but didn't recognize him. Yu Fan was dumbfounded and wanted to grab Chen Jingshen and go back to watch that bad movie again.

How do you make this up?

Yu Fan's brain stormed for a long time, and finally decided to escape: "Is the amusement park fun?"

"It's fun, there's real life cs inside, it's awesome!" Zuo Kuan looked around, "Damn, Yu Fan, where's your date? I've been wanting to see it for a long time!"

Yu Fan: "Who won the cs?"

"Me." Zhang Xianjing glanced at the sign hanging next to the mall, raised an eyebrow and asked, "You went to the movies with the school bully?"

Changing the topic failed. Before Yu Fan could hold his tongue, he heard the person next to him breezily say, "Uh-huh. I just happened to bump into him after my appointment."

Yu Fan: "......"

The dozen or so boys were more stupid than one another, seeing that they couldn't see their girlfriends anymore, with only regret on their faces. Only the only girl who was present in the room keenly caught the wrong between the two.

A somewhat implausible question came to Zhang Xianjing's lips, and as she glanced around, she finally held her tongue.

"It's only three in the afternoon and you're done with your date?" Wang Luan blinked twice, "So, Schoolboy, what did you do on your date with your date?"

Chen Jingshen said, "Have lunch."

"What about ...... finish eating?"

"Go back and brush up."

Wang Luan asked uncertainly, "Isn't this a bit of a weird date for you ......"

"Where do you get off talking so much shit." Yu Fan interrupted him by wrinkling his eyebrows.

"Oh, I'm just curious." Wang Luan turned to Yu Fan and asked , "Is your date over too?"

Yu Fan not-so-coolly lets out a, "Uh-huh," through his nose.

Wang Luan clapped his hands, "That's just right! Why don't you come with us to Cheng'an Temple? It's our senior year soon, so we're going to pay our respects and ask for an academic talisman."

"I'm not." Zuo Kuan immediately clarifies, "Who the hell is asking for schooling, I'm asking the gods for

Don't make me so handsome, it's tiring to receive love letters every day okay."

Wang Luan: "You're so fucking shameless."

Cheng'an Temple is the most famous temple in the southern city. It is said to be very spiritual, so there has been a lot of incense, many people come to travel on business will go there to worship.

Yu Fan didn't think twice: "No go."

"Why? Aren't we done with the appointment?" Zhang Xianjing looked at him, "Do you two have something else to do?"

Thinking about what he and Chen Jingshen were supposed to be going to do, Yu Fan's eyelids fluttered and he subconsciously retorted, "No."

"Then come along, just help me take some pictures, I'll treat you to popsicles." Zhang Xianjing asked and didn't care if Yu Fan agreed or not, he looked to another person, "School bully, you're coming too?"

Yu Fan wanted to refuse again, but he heard Chen Jingshen lightly throw out, "Good."

"......"

The twenty people in the group were not all familiar with each other, so they went to the bus station together from the indoor amusement park. In the end, about ten people left, only a few familiar, divided into two cabs together to go to Cheng'an Temple.

Outside the temple was a slightly rugged mountain road, filled on both sides with stalls selling jade incense and candles, squeezing the already narrow road even narrower.

Chen Jingshen walked at the end of the crowd. He glanced at the temple with white smoke curling up in the distance, and then turned his head to look at the people around him.

His boyfriend, with both hands in his pockets and an impatient look on his face, was the most insincere-looking incense burner on the trail.

At one point, Chen Jingshen was in a trance.

The person in front of him overlapped with some tiny figure he remembered, the annoyed expression, the mole on his cheek, and even the view behind him was not far from the picture in his head.

"Chen Jingshen," were the exact same first words when he opened his mouth.

Only this time it was followed by a rather aggressive, "Don't fucking look at me."

Chen Jingshen took a few seconds before asking, "Why?"

Yu Fan: "It's annoying."

It would remind him of something as breathless as being caught worshipping the gods when today was supposed to be a date.

Chen Jingshen withdrew his line of sight. He looked at the noisy few people in front of him and suddenly asked, "Have you been here before?"

Yu Fan didn't expect him to ask this and casually responded, "I've been here."

"When?"

Yu Fan thought for a moment, "Summer camp."

At that time, the camp site is nearby, the teacher brought them over to drive around, the children can not stand the temple incense smoke, come in but ten minutes and left.

"Summer camp? You've even attended something like that?" Wang Luan, who was walking in front, heard this and turned around curiously, "When was that?"

Yu Fan: "Elementary School."

"Fun?"

"Who remembers after all this time." Yu Fan slouched, "It shouldn't mean anything."

The further up the hill you go, the fewer stalls there are, until you see the entrance to the temple, and then the area finally clears up.

Lush tree branches wrap around the temple's red walls, and a few wisps of white smoke occasionally drift by. Zhang Xianjing dragged them outside the temple for a long time, taking pictures of the landscape, and then finally slipped his cell phone into Yu Fan's hand and asked him to help him take some full-body shots.

After finishing, Zhang Xianjing flipped through the photos and couldn't help but invite, "Yu Fan, our family is going on an island vacation in the summer, why don't you join us-"

"Stop farting." Yu Fan's patience wears thin, "Are you in or not."

As soon as the group entered the temple, their eyes were drawn away by the prayer galleries on both sides and the red plaques hanging from the branches of the big banyan tree.

Next to the staff is giving tourists an introduction, said the red card thirty dollars a, career love loved ones and so on to buy separately, a full set of big luck is one hundred and fifty, just hang in the temple wherever you can. There are lotus lamps, incense and charms, sincere heart is spiritual, buy will be all good.

One hundred and fifty isn't a lot of money, come what may, and a few people in the front decided to buy the Grand Guignol set after discussing it.

Zhu Xu scratches his head, "Can you buy it for someone else?"

"Who are you buying for?" Wang Luan asked.

"His girlfriend chanting, it seems like he failed this monthly exam and hasn't paid much attention to him since his grades came out." Zuo Kuan walks over to the wishing sign and reads the words on it.

"The wishing sign can only be hung for a loved one, but you can buy something else and take it back to her," the staff immediately said, "Why don't you take a look at our academic talisman here? If you take it back with you, you'll surely be successful in your studies and rise higher."

The staff was so familiar that they could carry three or four gee-whiz words in a single sentence and put a few people on their toes.

Finally even Zuo Kuan paid out money, he looked at Zhang Xianjing, very quietly said to the staff, "Give me one, that what peach blossom ......"

When they had everything in hand, they realized that the two men behind them hadn't moved a muscle and hadn't even spoken much.

"Yu Fan, School Master, you guys aren't buying?" Wang Luan holds his family's talisman, "I've heard this stuff works."

Yu Fan: "Listen to whoever said that."

"That staff member just now."

"......"

Yu Fan gave the contraption in his hand a disgusted look, "Not buying."

"I'd rather believe it."

Yu Fan didn't pay any attention to him, but just looked at Wang Luan's head down as he tinkered with the talismanic paper, and suddenly he thought of the last time he followed the summer camp here, there was a superstitious little kid beside him as well.

He was attending a quality development summer camp, and many of the activities were group competitions, and when you say competitions, you mean doing little outdoor games.

However, some children are very competitive and want to win every game of sandbag toss, so the teacher will consciously balance the distribution when grouping.

Yu Fan There was a skinny little nerd in the group at the time.

Little Nerd is a boy, obviously the same age as Yu Fan, but only as tall as Yu Fan's neck. He is usually quiet and silent, with a dull expression and slower reaction time than other children.

Because of this, their group always fell to last place in the competition because of him. Once or twice was fine, but who would have thought that little nerd would drag his feet for seven days in a row and soon be ostracized by the kids in the group.

Some kids are naturally bad. At first it was just isolation and badgering, then after a few days they would intentionally trip or knock the little nerd down, and then finally they got right down to it and tore up the peace talisman that the little nerd had begged for at the Seongan Temple, and stomped on it a few times.

The teacher had gone to the restroom, and the adults around him didn't care. Yu Fan was the only one who crunched the lollipop in his mouth, clenched his little fists and rushed forward.

Originally, only the little nerd was crying, but then the little boys followed him in his wailing and howling, and finally their whole group was thrown out of the temple.

The teacher was furious and scolded Yu Fan, deliberately leaving him out to dry while waiting for the bus.

After a while, all the other little boys died out, and only the one who could cry the most was still holding the tattered peace sign in both hands, snapping at his side and shedding tears-

"Thinking about what?" The man beside him asked suddenly.

"No," Yu Fan returned, half-heartedly, "...... remembered that the last time I was here, I had a crybaby with me."

Chen Jingshen was slightly stunned, "Crybaby?"

"Well, it's annoying as hell, I've never seen such a crybaby in all my life."

Chen Jingshen was quiet for two seconds, "Why are you crying."

"Fought with someone, didn't fight, and the peace talisman was broken, just sat here and cried for half a day," Yu Fan chin pointed to the field in front of him, "coaxed for a long time before it subsided."

"How coaxing."

Yu Fan absentmindedly responded, "Took the paper that was to be used to write the weekly journal at that time, and wrote more than ten charms for him, and told him ...... "Recalling this, Yu Fan suddenly paused.

Chen Jingshen waited for a moment, "What was said?"

"......"

He said, "Stop crying, I'll bless you from now on," or something like that. Yu Fan can't think of anything specific.

It was too pretentious and middle-of-the-road for him to say right now.

So he chilled his voice, "I told you, don't fucking cry, or I'll throw you off the mountain."

"......" Chen Jingshen inclined his head to look at him.

"And then he stopped crying."

"......"

"It was too hard to hold it in, he kept hiccuping on the way back, and once he did, he looked at me, very silly." Feeling Chen Jingshen's line of sight, Yu Fan raised his eyes to meet his, and was about to ask him what he was looking at when his words suddenly stumbled out of his mouth.

Yu Fan raised his hand and compared it to Chen Jingshen's eyes, "Oh, that crybaby has one eye like you, very ugly. I couldn't even find his eyes at that time, I just saw tears."

His intention was to be angry with Chen Jingshen in passing, who thought Chen Jingshen pressed his hand down and clasped it, and gave a short, muffled laugh with his face averted.

Yu Fan froze and drew his hand for a moment, not pulling it out. Chen Jingshen clasped his hand and asked in an amused hushed voice, "Where else does it look like?"

"The air of being beaten up." Yu Fan said, "Crying should also be like, Chen Jingshen, cry one for me."

"It's hard."

"You let go and I'll make you cry in a minute."

His hand is released, Yu Fan raises his arm to strangle Chen Jingshen's neck, and his other hand is just about to rub Chen Jingshen's face -

"Yu Fan, schoolteacher, we're done."

He heard his voice before he saw him. Upon hearing Wang Luan's voice, Yu Fan immediately let go of Chen Jingshen's neck.

A group of people were returning from the river to release the lights, and the staff walking in front of them were already smiling.

Turning through the cave door and seeing his two brothers, Wang Luan said, "We're going to the main hall to pay our respects, why don't you join us?"

"Not going." Yu Fan leaned lazily against the stone railing, "Don't believe in that."

Wang Luan guessed, so he asked another, "Schoolboy, aren't you coming too?"

"I've worshipped before, I'm not going." Chen Jingshen said in a light voice.

"Ha. There are so many people who come to worship every day, how can the gods remember." Zhu Xu said, "If you're here anyway, why don't you go in and brush your face so you won't be forgotten?"

After more than half an hour of dawdling and traveling, it was dusk by now.

Seung-An Temple is on the mountainside, and when you look into the distance from outside the temple, you can see the reddish-orange sunset sinking down the mountain, coloring the trees and mountains red.

Yu Fan half tilted his head back and looked like he was enjoying the scenery, the setting sun traced a bright, curved line on his face.

"No." Chen Jingshen said.

God doesn't have to remember him.

His God will bless him.
