Yu Fan turned his head stiffly and saw a group of acquaintances on the right, and he didn't recover for a long time.
"You guys..." After looking at each other for a long time, Yu Fan finally recovered his voice, "Why, it's here, here."
"That indoor playground has a 40% discount for a group of 20 people! Hahaha!" Wang Lu'an repeated, "Why are you and Xueba here? Aren't you going on a date?"
Twenty pairs of eyes stared at him, and there were many familiar people inside. Yu Fan's face was blank, wishing he could grab Chen Jingshen back and watch that bad movie again.
How do you make this up?
Yu Fan had a brain storm for a long time, and finally decided to escape: "Is the playground fun?"
"It's fun, there is a real cs in it, it's awesome!" Zuo Kuan looked around, "I'm so stupid, where is Yu Fan, your partner? I've been wanting to see it for a long time!"
Yu Fan: "Who won in cs?"
"Me." Zhang Wenjing glanced at the sign hanging in the shopping mall next to her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you go to the movies with Xueba?"
Failed to change topic. Before Yu Fan could hold back, he heard the person next to him calmly say, "Yes. We just happened to meet after the appointment."
Yu Fan: "..."
These dozen or so boys are more stupid than the other, and they can't see their girlfriends anymore, and there is only regret on their faces. Only the only girl present was keenly aware of the strangeness between the two.
A somewhat unbelievable question was circling around Zhang Wenjing's lips. She glanced at the people around her, but finally swallowed the words back.
"It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, so the appointment is over?" Wang Lu'an blinked twice, "Then Xueba, what did you do with your date?"
Chen Jingshen said, "Have lunch."
"... Are you done eating?"
"Go back and brush up the questions."
Wang Lu'an asked uncertainly: "Is your date a bit weird..."
"You talk so much nonsense." Yu Fan frowned and interrupted him.
"Oh, am I curious?" Wang Lu'an asked Yu Fan in a blink of an eye, "Your date is over too?"
Yu Fan said out of his nose, not very happy: "Yeah."
Wang Lu'an clapped his hands: "That's just right! Go to Cheng'an Temple with us? It won't be the third year of high school, we're going to pay homage and ask for an academic talisman by the way."
"I'm not." Zuo Kuan immediately clarified, "Who the hell is asking for studies? I'm going to ask the gods not to make me so handsome. I'm tired of receiving love letters every day."
Wang Lu'an: "You are so fucking shameless."
Cheng'an Temple is the most famous temple in Nancheng. It is said to be very effective, so the incense has always been at its peak, and many people will go there to worship when they come to travel and business.
Yu Fan didn't even think about it: "No."
"Why? Isn't the date over?" Zhang Wenjing looked at him, "Don't you two have other things to do?"
Thinking of what he and Chen Jingshen were going to do, Yu Fan's eyelids twitched, and subconsciously retorted: "No."
"Then go together, just help me take a few photos, and I'll treat you to a popsicle." After Zhang Wenjing asked, she didn't care whether Yu Fan answered or not, and looked at the other person, "Xueba, are you coming too?"
Yu Fan wanted to refuse again, but Chen Jingshen said lightly, "Okay."
"..."
Not all of the 20 people in this group are familiar with each other. They just came out of the indoor amusement park and went to the bus station together. In the end, a dozen or so people left, and only a few familiar ones remained. They divided into two taxis and went to Cheng'an Temple together.
Outside the temple is a slightly rugged mountain road, with stalls selling jade incense candles on both sides, squeezing the narrow road even narrower.
Chen Jingshen was at the end of the crowd. He glanced at the temple with white smoke in the distance, and then turned to look at the people around him.
His boyfriend had his pockets in both hands, looking impatient, he was the most dishonest pilgrim on the road.
For a moment, Chen Jingshen was in a daze.
The person in front of him overlapped with a small figure in his memory, the irritable expression, the mole on his cheek, and even the scenery behind him were almost the same as the picture in his mind.
"Chen Jingshen." The first sentence they said was exactly the same when they opened their mouths.
It's just that this time there is an extra sentence at the end, which is quite fierce, "Don't look at me so much."
Chen Jingshen asked after a few seconds, "Why?"
Yu Fan: "Very annoying."
It will remind him of the speechless thing of being arrested to worship the gods today, which was supposed to be a date.
Chen Jingshen retracted his gaze. He looked at the noisy people in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Have you been here before?"
Yu Fan didn't expect him to ask this, so he responded casually, "I've been here."
"when?"
Yu Fan thought for a while: "Summer camp."
At that time, the summer camp was nearby, and the teacher took them for a walk. The children couldn't bear the cigarettes in the temple, so they left within ten minutes after entering.
"Summer camp? Have you ever participated in something like this?" Wang Lu'an, who was walking in front, heard it, and turned his head curiously, "When?"
Yu Fan: "Elementary school."
"Is it fun?"
"Who remembers after so long." Yu Fan lazily said, "It should be nothing interesting."
The more you go up the mountain, the fewer stalls, until you see the entrance of the temple, the surrounding area is finally clean.
Lush branches wrap around the red walls of the temple, and occasionally a few wisps of white smoke drift through. Zhang Wenjing dragged them outside the temple for a long time, took a lot of pictures, and finally put the phone in Yu Fan's hand and asked him to help take some full-body photos.
After finishing, Zhang Wenjing flipped through the photos and couldn't help but invite: "Yu Fan, our family is going to the island for summer vacation, how about you too—"
"Stop farting." Yu Fan's patience was almost exhausted, "Are you going to get in or not?"
As soon as the group entered the temple, they were attracted by the blessing corridors on both sides and the red signs hanging on the branches of the big banyan tree.
A staff member next to it is introducing to tourists, saying that the red sign is 30 yuan each, and that career, love and relatives need to be bought separately. There are also lotus lamps, incense sticks and talisman papers. Sincerity leads to spirituality, and everything will go well if you buy them.
One hundred and fifty is not a lot of money, they are all here, and after discussing with the people in front, they all decided to buy the Daji Dali suit.
Zhu Xu scratched his head: "Can you buy it for others?"
"Who do you want to buy for?" Wang Lu'an asked.
"His girlfriend, it seems that he failed the monthly exam this time, and after the results came out, he didn't pay much attention to him." Zuo Kuan went to the wishing card to read the words on it.
"Wishing cards can only be hung for relatives, but you can buy others and take them back to her," the staff member immediately said, "Why don't you take a look at our academic talisman here? Take it home and take it with you. You will surely succeed in your studies and climb higher every step of the way." .”
The staff's practice makes perfect, and they can include three or four auspicious words in a sentence, which stunned several people.
In the end, even Zuo Kuan paid for it. He glanced at Zhang Wenjing, and said to the staff in a low voice: "Give me one, what kind of peach blossom..."
After getting everything in their hands, they realized that the two people behind were motionless and didn't even say a word.
"Yu Fan, Xueba, don't you buy it?" Wang Lu'an held his family's talisman, "I heard that this thing is very effective."
Yu Fan: "Listen to who said it."
"The staff member just now."
"..."
Yu Fan glanced at the thing in his hand with disgust on his face: "I won't buy it."
"It's better to believe it."
Yu Fan ignored him, just watched Wang Luan lower his head and fiddle with the talisman papers. He suddenly thought that when he came here with the summer camp last time, there was a superstitious little kid beside him.
At that time, he participated in the quality development summer camp, and many activities were group competitions, which were called competitions, that is, doing some outdoor games.
But some children are very competitive and want to win even if they play sandbags, so the teacher will consciously balance the distribution when grouping.
In Yu Fan's team at that time, there was a skinny little idiot.
The little idiot is a boy, obviously the same age as Yu Fan, but his height only reaches Yu Fan's neck. Usually he is quiet and not talkative, with a dull expression, and his reaction is a little slower than other children.
Because of this, the games in their group are always because of him falling to the last place. Once or twice is fine, who would have thought that little idiot dragged his feet for seven days in a row, and was soon pushed aside by the children in the group.
Some children are born bad. At first, it was just isolation and bad words. After a few days, the little idiot would be tripped or knocked down on purpose. In the end, he directly moved his hands and tore up the peace talisman that the little idiot asked for in Cheng'an Temple. foot.
At that time, the teacher went to the toilet, but the adults around him didn't care. Only Yu Fan crunched the lollipop in his mouth, clenched his fists and rushed forward.
Originally, only the little idiot was crying, but then the little boys also cried and howled with him, and finally their whole group was kicked out of the temple.
The teacher got angry, scolded Yu Fan, and deliberately left him aside while waiting for the bus.
After a while, all the other little boys fell silent, only the one who could cry the most was still holding the tattered peace amulet in both hands, weeping beside him with tears—
"What are you thinking?" The person next to him suddenly asked.
"No," Yu Fan came back to his senses, and said after a while, "...I remember that when I came here last time, I brought a crying bag with me."
Chen Jingshen was slightly startled: "Crying bag?"
"Well, it's annoying to death. I've never seen someone who can cry so much when I grow up."
Chen Jingshen was quiet for two seconds: "Why are you crying?"
"I've never fought with someone before, and the peace talisman was broken, so I just sat here and cried for a long time," Yu Fan pointed to the field in front of him with his chin, "it took a long time to calm down."
"How to coax."
Yu Fan replied absently: "I took the paper that I was going to write the weekly diary at that time, wrote him more than ten talismans, and told him..." Recalling this, Yu Fan suddenly stopped.
Chen Jingshen waited for a while: "What did you say?"
"..."
Tell Dummy not to cry, I'll bless you in the future—something like that. Yu Fan couldn't remember the specifics.
It's too pretentious, he can't say it now.
So he chilled his throat, "I just said, don't fucking cry, cry again and throw you down the mountain."
"..." Chen Jingshen turned his head to look at him.
"And then he stopped crying."
"..."
"It was too hard to hold back, he kept hiccupping on the way back, and looked at me once, it was stupid." Sensing Chen Jingshen's gaze, Yu Fan raised his eyes to meet him, just about to ask him what he was looking at, when the words came There was a sudden pause on the lips.
Yu Fan raised his hand to compare Chen Jingshen's eyes, "Oh, that crying boy has the same single eyelids as you, so ugly. I couldn't find his eyes at that time, only tears."
He originally intended to annoy Chen Jingshen by the way, but who would have thought that Chen Jingshen would press down his hand and hold it, turning his face away and letting out a short, muffled laugh.
Yu Fan was taken aback for a moment, then pulled his hand, but didn't pull it out. Chen Jingshen clasped his hand, and asked in a deep and funny voice, "How do you look like it?"
"A temperament that deserves to be beaten." Yu Fan said, "It should be similar to crying, Chen Jingshen, let me see if I cry."
"It's hard."
"Let go, I'll make you cry right away."
The hand was released, Yu Fan raised his arm and strangled Chen Jingshen's neck, and the other hand was about to rub Chen Jingshen's face—
"Yu Fan, Xueba, we're done."
Hear his voice before seeing him. Hearing Wang Lu'an's voice, Yu Fan immediately let go of Chen Jingshen's neck.
When a group of people came back from setting off lights by the river, the staff walking in front of them were already smiling.
Turning around the cave gate and seeing his two brothers, Wang Lu'an said: "We are going to go to the main hall to worship, shall we go together?"
"Don't go." Yu Fan lazily leaned on the stone railing, "I don't believe this."
Wang Lu'an guessed it, so he asked another: "Xueba, aren't you going too?"
"I paid my respects before, so I won't go." Chen Jingshen said lightly.
"Hey. There are so many people who come to worship every day, how can the gods remember it." Zhu Xu said, "Anyway, they are here, why don't you go in and brush your face, so as not to forget you."
After dawdling for more than half an hour, plus the distance, it was dusk now.
Cheng'an Temple is on the mountainside. Looking from the outside of the temple, you can see the orange-red sunset sinking into the mountain, dyeing the mountains and trees red.
Yu Fan half-raised his hair in a daze, as if he was admiring the scenery, the afterglow of the setting sun traced a bright, curved line on his face.
"No." Chen Jingshen said.
God need not remember him.
His god will bless him.
