However, Zhai Jing had no intention of changing his mind. He explained,
âThereâs a Taoist temple on this mountain called Qingfeng Temple. When I was working part-time in the past, I received an errand from outside the province. The customer asked me to help him get a safety talisman here and then send it to him.â
Zhai Jing recalled the scene at that time.
âIt was probably because the Taoist temple was relatively deserted. When the
Abbey Dean saw me, he said that we were fated to meet, so he told me to ask for a divinationâ
Le Wan interrupted,
âFree?â
Zhai Jing was speechless.
âTen yuan for a divination.â
Le Wan mercilessly ridiculed the Abbey Dean for being a swindler.
âIt was probably worth as much as ten yuan.â
Or rather, the Abbey Dean was actually good at doing business. After all, for a poor student like Zhai Jing who lacked money, he could take out ten yuan without much heartache.
If he dared to raise the price a little more, Le Wan wouldnât doubt that Zhai Jing would turn around and leave.
Since he was already here, Zhai Jing finally spent ten yuan. He closed his eyes and asked for good fortune. The fortune showed that his life would soon usher in a huge turn for the better.
At that time, when Zhai Jing saw the fortune, although he didnât really believe it, it looked quite auspicious, so he joked with the Abbey Dean that if it came true, he would definitely come back to fulfill his wish.
Now that it had happened, it wasnât good to go back on oneâs word.
Le Wan didnât expect that a genius like Zhai Jing, who seemed to be invincible, would actually go to the Taoist temple to ask for a divination. She asked curiously,
âWhat did you ask for then?â
At the mention of this matter, Zhai Jingâs gaze softened. He lowered his head to look at Le Wan, placed his hand on her head, and gently stroked her soft hair.
âI had two requests at that time. The first one was that I hoped that my motherâs illness could turn for the better and help her overcome the current difficultiesâ
When Le Wan heard that it was such a big matter, she nodded repeatedly.
âThen you should come and fulfill your wish.â
As a result, her reluctance to climb the mountain decreased significantly. Then, she heard Zhai Jing continue, âThis second matter is related to you.â âAh?â Le Wan opened her mouth.
âWhat is it about me?
She thought for a moment.
âCould it be that you helped me get good grades for the college entrance examination?
After all, it was said that he was pleading on behalf of Mother Zhai. This meant that Zhai Jing had come up the mountain before Aunties operation. At that time, Zhai Jing was helping her with her revision. There were no signs of a relationship between the two of them.
Le Wanâs eyes lit up.
âSo you started praying for my college entrance examination results at that time?
Zhai Jing smiled faintly and didnât say anything. He had actually come to this Taoist temple earlier than this.
At that time, his relationship with Le Wan wasnât considered close, so Zhai Jing didnât refute Le Wanâs statement.
However, when Le Wan saw his reaction, she felt that something wasnât right. She lowered her head and thought for a moment.
âSpeaking of which, Iâve always been curious. When did you fall in love with me?â
Zhai Jing was stunned for a moment.
âWhy do you suddenly ask this?â
âIsnât it normal for couples to want to know about this?â Le Wan said confidently.
Zhai Jing didnât answer but asked,
âWhat about you? When did you fall in love with me?â
Le Wan recalled the first time she saw Zhai Jing. She couldnât help but open the car door because she sympathized with him. After that, every time they got along, the past scenes surfaced in front of her. She realized that she couldnât tell when she had started to have feelings for Zhai Jing.
Thus, Le Wan said frankly,
âI canât say for sure.â
Anyway, by the time she realized it, she had already fallen for him. After some hesitation and struggle, she realized that she still liked him.
Zhai Jing wasnât surprised by her answer and gave the same answer.
âIâm not sure either.â
When Le Wan heard this answer, she felt a little regretful. However, she had never been a person who liked to be conflicted, so she put this matter aside. âSince youâre here to fulfill your wish, Iâll accompany you.â
Le Wan rolled up her sleeves and stepped onto the first step. Then, she waved at Zhai Jing.
âLetâs go, letâs go. Letâs set off early and try to get down the mountain before it gets dark in the evening.â
Unexpectedly, Zhai Jing grabbed her hand and pointed to the cable car not far away.
âThereâs no need to climb. Just take the cable car up.â
Of course, Le Wan knew that she could take the cable car up.
âBut if we want to fulfill our wishes, wouldnât we have to climb the mountain to show our sincerity?â
Zhai Jing replied,
âYes, so you can take the cable car and Iâll climb the mountain. After all, Iâm the one who came to fulfill my wish..â
