Apple would have been stronger for longer, as she said before, until she could open an umbrella herself, walk side by side with Xu Tingsheng, and even shield him from the wind and rain when Xu Tingsheng needed it.
However, Fang Yunyao, who was lying on the hospital bed, and Fu Cheng who was helpless... made her afraid, fearing that one day, everything would be too late.
So, she couldn't be brave anymore, so she said, "Xu Tingsheng, I won't sing anymore, you take me back and I'll wash your clothes and cook for you, okay?"
But Xu Tingsheng didn't give her the answer she wanted.
In fact, she already knew the answer, she just didn't understand why this man could treat her so well and at the same time be so cruel.
Apple bit Xu Tingsheng's shoulder hard through the clothes, she really bit him with all her strength.
Relieved, Apple took two steps back, looked at Xu Tingsheng who was grinning, and said, "Xu Tingsheng, I really wish I could hate you." She said that she really wanted to, and it was usually difficult for her to do what she wanted to do alone. , something that cannot be done.
Puffing his cheeks and taking a few deep breaths, Apple thought for a while, and then said: "Then it's settled, when I have a concert, you will definitely come?"
"I will definitely come. I'm mainly afraid that you will bite me...it hurts so much." Xu Tingsheng said. He really hurts. One day in the future, when he goes to her concert, what will they look like then
Apple proudly bared her sharp canine teeth... Xu Tingsheng ran in front, and Apple chased after her with all her fangs and paws. Hopefully, there will be no paparazzi.
…
After catching up on sleep in the hotel in the morning, Huang Yaming and Song Ni took shifts outside the ward in the afternoon.
After a few people had lunch, Xu Tingsheng had just returned to the hotel when he received another call from Fu Cheng.
"Auntie said she wanted to find a temple to pray for Teacher Fang's safety. Do you know where there is a more effective place nearby? Take us there." Fu Cheng said.
Jiannan City, a place that Xu Tingsheng is very familiar with.
So, he drove Fu Cheng, Teacher Fang's mother, and Apple to a century-old temple in the northern suburbs of Jiannan City, which was the most popular temple in Jiannan City.
It is said that any sincere request will be answered.
Xu Tingsheng didn't have too much pious belief in religion, and he mostly held a dispensable state. The reason why he is familiar with this temple is because he has been here before, and this once, it should happen seven years later.
In the previous life, shortly after Xiang Ning started his senior year, the two of them were at the best stage of their relationship. They once came to this temple together. Xu Tingsheng was dragged by Xiang Ning to kneel and kowtow together, and each of them begged for a lottery from the lottery tube.
Xiang Ning went alone to release the lottery, so to this day, Xu Tingsheng still doesn't know what the lottery said. Because everything that happened later was completely different from the beautiful interpretation of the signature that Xiang Ning said at that time.
At that time, Xiang Ning came back frowning after unwrapping the signature. Xu Tingsheng, who didn't believe in Buddhism very much, suddenly felt inexplicably tense when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is the signature wrong?"
Xiang Ning looked up, shook her head with a busy smile, and replied: "No, the signature said that I will marry an uncle who is several years older than me, and he doesn't have much money... Oh, I'm so pitiful."
"How big is it?"
"Five years old."
"Coincidentally, I happen to be five years older than you. Marry?"
"Bah, smelly is shameless. That's how you dare to propose."
"What the Buddha and Bodhisattva said."
"The Buddha and Bodhisattva also said that I will marry far away."
"Oops, Jiannan doesn't seem very far from Yanzhou, does it?"
"No, no, I was wrong. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas said that it is a little far away, but not very far... It is as far as Jiannan to Yanzhou. Yes, it is that far."
…
Standing at the door, Xu Tingsheng recalled that at this moment, Fu Cheng and Teacher Fang's mother were kneeling and praying devoutly in front of the altar. At this moment, Xu Tingsheng was willing to believe that the Buddha was really listening, and that all sincere requests would be answered.
Apple stood opposite Xu Tingsheng, leaning against the goal post.
"Let's go and ask for Teacher Fang too." Apple said.
"good."
The two entered the Buddhist hall, knelt side by side beside Fu Cheng, and prayed for Fang Yunyao's safety.
After begging Xu Tingsheng wanted to stand up, Apple tugged at the hem of his clothes and said, "I beg for myself."
So Xu Tingsheng knelt down again, wondering if the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would be tired, because he begged a lot, begging for his family, begging for friends, begging for Apple... the last sentence, he begged:
"Seven years later, I will come again. The Dharma is boundless. You should know who I have come with and who I will come with. In the next life, please let her come with me. Please, give me a lottery, no Seek wealth and honor, but only... those who seek the same, this life will never be parted."
The "person who seeks the same" that Xu Tingsheng said was the former and future Xiang Ning. However, kneeling beside him at this moment is begging with him, and it is another girl who is begging for him.
Buddha, can you tell the difference
What did Apple ask for, but did not tell Xu Tingsheng.
Coming out of the Buddhist hall, the Apple phone vibrated, she went to the side to pick it up, it was very quiet at first, then gradually, the voice became louder, Xu Tingsheng vaguely heard her arguing with someone.
"Didn't I say that I won't accept commercial performances these days?"
"..."
"My friend is still in the hospital, she hasn't woken up yet."
"..."
"If I don't go, I will breach the contract."
Apple hung up the phone and looked at Xu Tingsheng nervously. She was actually not willing to expose her plight in front of Xu Tingsheng, the endless commercial performances, the long-delayed new album...
There was also an incident some time ago that made Apple annoy the brokerage company.
At that time, the company was preparing to hype the scandal between her and the company's top male singer, so they specially found a paparazzi to secretly take photos of the two of them coming out of the recording studio together at night, and then ordered the tabloids to run a series of reports, saying that the two met late at night, suspected to be in love.
This kind of specious scandal is the company's usual method to maintain the popularity of artists, but Apple did not cooperate. The next day, she issued a statement in her own name to clarify it with all her strength. At the same time, she made it clear that she had a sweetheart who was a member of the original reincarnation band.
This incident made the brokerage company furious. If Apple hadn't become popular now, it might have been blocked immediately.
Xu Tingsheng didn't know about this, and he didn't know that Apple was so tough because he was afraid that he would be misunderstood when he read the report.
Xu Tingsheng walked up to Apple and said, "Call from the agency? Is there a performance?"
Apple nodded.
"Let's go, I'll give you a section."
"I do not go."
"Since you choose to do it, do it well and don't be willful."
Xu Tingsheng drove Apple to the place where the agency sent a car to pick her up. Before she got out of the car, Xu Tingsheng said, "Do you remember what I told you that day?"
Xu Tingsheng said a lot, and Apple was a little at a loss.
"If you encounter difficulties, no matter how big the difficulties are, remember to tell me. I will always be there, and my umbrella will become bigger and bigger... Don't be afraid, Xu Tingsheng is standing behind you. In fact, Xu Tingsheng is really a superman... You can fly No matter how high or far, I can cover you."
Xu Tingsheng repeated what he said that night, and said, "Don't be bullied. I won't let you."
"Um."
