When Shen Zhilie said this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his smile still looked bright and sunny.
Just like when we first met.
However, Fang Tongtong now is no longer the same Fang Tongtong as before.
Ye Qianqian looked at Fang Tongtong's obviously unhappy expression, pulled Shen Zhilie and said, "Tongtong, I think we are not young anymore, and we will get married sooner or later anyway, so I want to ask, that... candy?"
"Um."
Fang Tongtong placed the box of candies in front of them, took out a nice bag to put the candies in, and said, "Take it away. You don't have to give it to me."
"That won't work. Personal relationships are personal relationships, and business is business." Shen Zhilie took out his wallet. "I like to keep things clear."
Ye Qianqian always felt that something was wrong with Shen Zhilie, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Every move and every word seemed to be perfect.
Taking out a hundred-yuan bill and placing it on the counter, Shen Zhilie asked, "How much is it?"
Fang Tongtong felt even more uncomfortable when she looked at the money.
He pushed the money back and said, "I've lived in your house for several days and haven't paid rent. This is only a few dozen dollars. Take it."
Shen Zhilie looked at her. Fang Tongtong's eyes were a little red, and she could vaguely see that she was a little embarrassed.
"Okay," Shen Zhilie took the money back, "Thank you."
As he spoke, Shen Zhilie picked up the candy box, turned around and left.
Ye Qianqian looked at Fang Tongtong with a complicated expression.
I felt a little sad in my heart, and after thinking for a while, I said, "Then... we'll leave first."
"Yeah." Fang Tongtong responded lightly and watched them leave.
After they left, a voice came from inside the house: "Tongtong, it's time for dinner!"
Fang Tongtong stared ahead for a long while before she said, "Mom, Xixi is getting married."
Mrs. Fang came out after hearing this, and was a little bit unbelievable: "So soon? Didn't she just break up with her man?"
"Well again. We just came together to buy candy. He said he wanted to go to the blind uncle to have his horoscope checked."
Mrs. Fang was a little surprised. "How can this girl talk about marriage in the year when her grandfather passed away? It's unlucky. You have to remind her."
But after saying this, he suddenly remembered something, looked at his daughter, and said, "Forget it, it's none of our business anyway, let's eat, everything is ready."
"Yeah." Fang Tongtong stood up and walked inside.
-
Ye Qianqian seldom came to this place. Although she knew that the blind uncle lived in this area, she didn't know which house he lived in.
After asking along the way, I finally found where the blind uncle was.
The blind uncle lived in a one-story bungalow. The exterior of the house was rough, but as soon as you walked in, you would be amazed by the antique style inside.
Before entering the door, I could smell a strong smell of incense.
Inside is a cushion, on top of which is an altar, on which are enshrined various Bodhisattvas.
Ye Qianqian didn't know much about this aspect, so she only recognized one Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, one Bodhisattva Manjusri, and Sakyamuni Buddha. For the others, Ye Qianqian only saw their shapes but didn't know their names.
"coming."
A slightly hoarse voice sounded, startling Ye Qianqian.
A short, hunched figure walked out from inside, walking slowly.
His hair was completely white, and when the old man raised his head, one could clearly see the hair around his face and his two completely white eyes.
