The silly girl who worries about heaven

  Ye Shanshan suppressed her smile and replied, "You said it yourself, I didn't say that."

  On the other end of the phone, there was suddenly no sound, and it seemed that Ning's daughter should have been hit by this matter.

  Ye Shanshan quickly sensed it and hurriedly spoke to comfort her, "That... don't think too much, everyone has their shortcomings and inadequacies, if he really likes you, he will definitely tolerate and understand, right?"

  "But... I have a lot of shortcomings and many bad temperaments that can't be reasoned with."

  "Don't say that about yourself, your shortcomings are also your characteristics, maybe... Captain Shen likes your unique personality that's different from others?" In order to stop Zi Yan from thinking wildly, Ye Shanshan racked her brains and came up with all the words she could think of.

  "Never mind, I'll listen to you, let's just go with the flow. When he comes back, I'll apologize to him properly. If he really can't stand me..." Love is indeed the most mysterious and magical thing in this world. A person who is usually so carefree and easy-going will become timid and hesitant when faced with love.

  Ye Shanshan didn't give her a chance to continue rambling, "It won't work, you have to have confidence in yourself. Don't worry, this afternoon I'll go with Director Gu to Yuanyin Temple and find the most divine master to help you ask carefully, okay?"

  "Those things... do you really believe in them?" Last night, when Ning Ziyu was persuaded by Shanshan, it was purely an impulsive moment, plus a bit of curiosity. After calming down and thinking about it again, Ning Ziyu felt that fortune-telling and matchmaking were not very reliable.

  "Anyway, go and have fun, and ask by the way. I'll find a master to ask about my own first, if he's accurate, then I'll help you ask, okay?" Actually, Ye Shanshan didn't quite believe in these things either. But in order to make Ziyan feel at ease, this wasn't a bad idea either.

  "Alright then, thank you." Ning Ziyan had always been very obedient to Shanshan's words. Generally speaking, as long as it wasn't an outrageous suggestion, she would gladly accept it.

  "Don't be so polite with me. It's the New Year, don't look so worried, relatives and friends will worry if they see you like this." Ziyan's tone was laced with a hint of amusement, and Yeshanshan finally felt at ease.

  Now that the daughter-in-law had calmed down and was in a mood to joke, "I know, you've become more and more nagging since marrying Director Gu, it's really 'near ink, black'!"

  Ye Shanshan completely agreed with this, but she still worried a bit for Ziyan, "You have to be careful, Captain Shen was also trained by Director Gu, he must also know how to discipline people."

  "Hmph, I'm not afraid of him." In fact, the thing Ye Shanshan was worried about had already happened. Although it was a bit annoying, Ning Xiaojie, who was always proud and arrogant, didn't show any particular resistance. After all, they had just started, everything was new, and even being scolded felt sweet.

  "Ha! That's right, Ning Xiaojie is quick-witted and has a sharp tongue, but he may not be able to outtalk you."

  "It can't be said that way, as long as he teaches correctly, I will still listen." Zi Yan's girl rarely showed a shy little woman's face, um, the girl who fell in love is indeed different.

  "Haha......" Ye Shanshan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing loudly, "Looks like you're really poisoned quite badly."

  "It's all your fault, getting married so early and making me feel itchy too, wanting to find someone to fall in love with as soon as possible. And then... it actually happened." Ning Da Xiaojie wouldn't be foolish enough to wait around to be ridiculed, she was best at being unreasonable and framing others.

  Ye Shanshan was so angry that her face turned black with rage. "What's wrong with you, your own heart is racing with excitement, yet you're blaming me for it?"

  "Alright, I'm going out to celebrate the new year with my brother, don't ask me about it. Please greet Director Gu and Xiao Xiao for me, bye." Although Ning Ziyan was eloquent and quick-witted, he didn't dare to be too arrogant in front of Shan Shan, so he brushed her off with a couple of words before hanging up the phone.

  After finishing this phone call, the trip to Yuanyuan Temple in the afternoon can almost be confirmed. However, going to pray for a good marriage with Xiaoxiao seems not quite appropriate?

  She was a restless child and couldn't sit still, now that the morning was only half over, she began to think about the afternoon's activities. "Mommy, Daddy, when are they coming back?"

  "Supposed to be back at two in the afternoon, but it depends on how the meeting goes, what's up?" Ye Shanshan was wiping the floor while thinking about what she wanted to ask Master at Yuan Temple, and her response was somewhat absent-minded.

  "Has Dad said where he's taking us this afternoon?" Hmm, can't stay at home watching TV all day, it's boring!

  Ye Shanshan is speechless, indeed there was a plan, but... Xiaoxiao seems to be unable to participate.

  "What's wrong, are you going to leave me alone again? " Mommy didn't respond for a while, and the little ghost couldn't help but think wildly.

  "We were planning on going to the temple fair..."

  "I want to go, the temple fair is crowded, it must be fun." You actually thought of not taking me to such a lively place, no way!

  "But... the places we're going to are mostly for adults, and... we're not going there to have fun, but to help Ziyan Auntie with matchmaking." No choice, Ye Shanshan could only tell her the truth.

  "What is marriage affinity?" Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar term, a child's first reaction would definitely be to ask shamelessly.

  "Let's find a master to calculate when her true soulmate will appear and whether her emotional journey will be smooth or not."

  "Fortune telling?" Coughing, Luo Li said a lot of nonsense, and in the end, Xiao Xiao actually summed it up with just two words.

  Ye Shanshan's face turned red with embarrassment as she dryly laughed twice, "You can say that."

  "It sounds so boring, I'd rather not go." Nowadays kids watch a lot of TV and understand everything. What's the point of fortune-telling? Ha ha, how could they not know? Sitting there listening to an old man talk about things they can't understand is no better than staying home watching TV or playing games.

  "Or I'll take you to Xiao Ming's house and see if he's home, then you can play with him?" It wasn't hard to find someone to take care of Xiaoxiao, but Ye Shanshan still thought that Xiaoxiao would definitely prefer playing with kids around her own age.

  "Great, Little Ming can play chess and we have a game console at home." Who else could be laughing like that but Ye Shanshan? Just look at how excited she is, she can't wait to go downstairs right now.

  "Don't force yourself, if you want to come with us, we'll still take you..."

  "It's okay, we've been here for so long and Mommy has never gone out alone with Daddy before. I'm fine with it." The little thief is clearly thinking of going to Xiao Ming's house to play chess and games, but she puts on a good girl face, obviously wanting praise.

  "Our Xiaoxiao is really well-behaved." Look, praise came immediately, and there was also a reward, "Is there anything you particularly want to eat? We'll bring it back for you."

  "Umm... can I have ice cream?" Who would want ice cream in the middle of winter? This little brat is really something!

  Ye Shanshan hesitated for a moment, looked up at the temperature display on the wall, and saw that the indoor temperature was 21 degrees Celsius. Eating ice cream didn't seem excessive, "Okay, I'll secretly buy it for you. If Director Zhang finds out, just say it's for myself."

  "Hehe, Mom is really cunning." The little foodie got what he wanted and smiled with curved eyebrows.

  "Not for you!" Little devil, got a good deal and still showing off, really don't know who taught him to be so bad!

  The little devil is so proud that his tail is almost touching the sky, and he doesn't care if Mommy is angry or not.

  The director returned home at 2:03, but unexpectedly saw Shanshan packing Xiaoxiao's small backpack. "Where are you going?"

  "Take her to Xiao Ming's house, I told her that we would go to the temple fair later, she thought it was boring."

  "Have you already told them?" Being able to act alone with his wife was of course good, but Gu Bei Chen still felt that sending the child to someone else's house on New Year's Day wasn't quite right.

  "Alright, Xiao Ming is also feeling a bit unwell, so Sister Yao Hui won't let him go out. Laughing and going to accompany him to play together is just right." This point Ye Shanshan had naturally considered long ago.

  The leader's expression was serious, and Xiaoxiao was afraid that he would not agree with Mommy's decision. She quickly stepped forward to guarantee, "Daddy, don't worry, I'll be very well-behaved."

  "Well-behaved to the point of being abnormal." Gu Bei Chen smiled meaningfully and glanced strangely at a certain someone who was pretending to be serious.

  Ye Shanshan felt embarrassed by his gaze and stiffly changed the subject: "What's going on, our Xiaoxiao has always been obedient and well-behaved."

  "I hope so." Gu Bei Chen also stopped asking, anyway, this mother and daughter's little thoughts couldn't deceive him.

  After finishing dinner, the couple took Xiaoxiao together to visit the Zou family.

  The Zou couple seemed to have made up, and the atmosphere in their small home was particularly warm. After Xiao Xiao left, the two children quickly became inseparable, and Gu Bei Chen and Ye Shan Shan had nothing to worry about, so they politely expressed their gratitude and bid farewell.

  On the first day of the new year, for the first time without Xiaoxiao, Gu Shou's mood was exceptionally pleasant. "You're really something, actually managing to persuade Xiaoxiao to stay home and play with Xiao Ming."

  "I didn't do anything, she herself thought it was too boring to go to the temple and have her fortune told, and she took the initiative not to come." Ye Shanshan refuted solemnly.

  "This may not be impossible, but Gu Bei Chen always felt that this matter was not so simple. 'What benefits did you promise her?'"

  "Xiao Ming's home has so many fun things, she had wanted to go for a long time, what other benefits are needed?" Ye Shanshan still wasn't used to lying, her eyes kept looking out the window as she spoke.

  "Hmm, this is clearly a case of 'there's no silver here'. However, even if she really did promise Xiao Xiao something, it was just so they could go out and have fun together. Gu Bei Chen didn't plan on asking any further questions."

  Taking advantage of his silence, Ye Shanshan abruptly changed the subject, "By the way, Ziyu called me again this morning."

  "Oh, is she eager to report last night's progress to you?" Although he didn't have a gossiping mind, as both were familiar people, Gu Bei Chen also developed a strong interest in this bizarre romance.

  Ye Shanshan hastily denied, "It's not like that, she came to me to vent her grievances. Captain Shen had a special mission on New Year's Day and had no choice but to stand her up, making her furious."

  It seems that Gu Bei Chen had anticipated this situation and his reaction was very calm, "If you don't even have this kind of mental preparation, how can you talk about romance with the captain of the Special Operations Team?"

  "I've already advised her, and she should gradually improve later on. She's been spoiled by everyone's attention, so it's hard for her to change some of her habits in just a few days. I hope Captain Shen can be as tolerant of Ziyan as you are of me; when two people are together, one side always has to make concessions." Hmm, listen to this tone, it's like that of an experienced and worldly person. Without even thinking about it, I've only just figured out what love is all about, and yet I'm already trying to be a love advisor for others.

  She said it seriously, and Gu Bei Chen also listened with a moved expression. "Fool, tolerance is mutual. Compared to your understanding and consideration of me, my little bit of tolerance doesn't count as anything."

  Ye Shanshan was flattered and scratched her nose out of habit, but a thin layer of smile gradually floated onto her face. "Don't say that, I didn't do anything."

  Little thing, every time it's like this, casually praising a few words and then feeling embarrassed to lower your head and touch your nose, when can this habit be changed.

  Forget it, let's just find a topic to gloss over this matter. "Did Zi Yan tell you that Shen Mu Feng is going out on some kind of mission?" It's already far away from the troops, but still has to go on a mission on New Year's Day, this matter is indeed a bit suspicious.

  "Haven't said yet, you say... will this matter be very serious?" Upon hearing him ask this, Ye Shanshan also became tense.

  Shan Shan liked to put things at ease in her heart, but Gu Bei Chen didn't dare to make things sound too serious. "I'll ask around later, and you shouldn't worry too much either. Shen Mu Feng has been through a hundred battles, and no matter how difficult the task is, it won't be too hard for him."

  Unfortunately, it's too late to comfort her now. Ye Shanshan has already put this matter in her heart and automatically supplemented a lot of things, "Will you also leave the troops like Captain Shen, and suddenly leave when there is an emergency mission?"

  Gu Beichen obviously didn't expect her to ask this question suddenly and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

  "Right? Won't it?" The more he remained silent, the more anxious Ye Shanshan became.

  Gu Bei Chen was forced into a dilemma, if she didn't answer, she might not believe her; but if she told the truth, she would definitely be more worried.

  He remained silent, but Ye Shanshan's 'inspiration' grew more and more, "You... do you already know what work you'll be doing after being transferred back to G City?"

  "Didn't Vice General Jiang say that last time? There isn't a vacancy on that side for the time being." Since it wasn't 100% confirmed, Gu Bei Chen didn't dare to give a definite answer and could only make excuses.

  "If you were asked to do similar work with Captain Shen, would you be willing?" This question is really stupid, many things in the army are just a command and an action, when does it depend on whether you're willing or not!

  Gu Beichen couldn't help but smile wryly, "This matter is beyond my control."

  Ye Shanshan also quickly reacted and forced a smile, "Well, it's good that we can get them back, who let us be picky?"

  Although she smiled, Gu Bei Chen couldn't see a hint of ease on her face, so he could only try to comfort her, "Don't worry, even if you do the same work as him, it's fine, anyway I won't be the one to take the lead."

  Ye Shanshan didn't want him to worry either, so she slightly increased the curve of her mouth and said, "I was just thinking too much."

  For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke much. It wasn't until they arrived at their destination that Ye Shanshan exclaimed in surprise, "This temple is really so spiritual, just look at all these people outside."

  "It's the New Year, everyone wants to be auspicious." Finally diverting her attention, Gu Bei Chen also secretly let out a sigh of relief, "I'll go find a place to park, or you can get off first and take a look at the surroundings?"

  "Alright, I'll just take a look around here, don't go in yet, you park the car and come find me." Although there were many people in this place, there were only two roads crossing each other, as long as they didn't enter the temple, Ye Shanshan wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to find her.

  As she walked along the straight road, Ye Shanshan's line of sight was suddenly drawn to an old man dressed like an ancient person. This old gentleman was really interesting, wearing a long shirt and shaking a folding fan on a cold winter day, this row was all fortune-telling by divination, and his stall was the most eye-catching.

  An aunt who had just finished having her fortune told by the old man exclaimed excitedly, "This master is really too amazing, everything he said was right on point."

  A slightly fat middle-aged woman next to the aunt also followed, "I'm not wrong, am I? Asking about future prospects and seeking marriage from him is not wrong!"

  After hearing the two aunts say this, Ye Shanshan's interest became more intense. Originally, she just wanted to take a look and leave, but now she unconsciously squeezed forward a few steps. Although it's not that believable, people are curious by nature, and Ye Shanshan couldn't help but be ordinary.

  "This little girl shouldn't be here to ask about marriage, right?" Before Ye Shanshan could react, the old man surprisingly took the initiative to chat with her.

  "Are you... talking to me?" Ye Shanshan pointed at her own nose with a look of astonishment.

  The old man did not confirm or deny it and continued, "You don't ask about marriage because you already have a place to belong."

  Huh, I'm so small, there's no one around me, and I don't even have a ring on my hand, how did he know I'm already married? Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Ye Shanshan was scared by this old man's incredible intuition.

  Driven by curiosity, Ye Shanshan walked step by step to the old man's fortune-telling table and sat down. "Then what do you think I'm here for?"

  "Mother was before father, young and early took the house." Mr. Lao's answer sounded a bit off, but it made Ye Shanshan's heart skip a beat, he also knew that she had lost her dad?

  Ye Shanshan's mind was a bit muddled from being frightened, and without saying another word, she took out two 100-yuan bills from her purse and slapped them on the table. "Can you help others with calculations?"

  "In the past two years, one of your loved ones will leave again." The old man didn't even glance at the money on the table, muttering to himself as if he was talking to no one.

  "Impossible!" Ye Shanshan was shocked and stood up, "This is not fortune-telling, it's just nonsense!"

  "Whether you believe it or not, a person's fate is already decided, life and death are predetermined by heaven." The old man waved his fan with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, his eyes slightly closed, looking like a transcendent being.

  "Believe it or not!" Ye Shanshan felt more and more uneasy as she looked at him, so after taking the money, she decisively withdrew.

  But although he had gone far away, why did the unease in her heart become more and more serious? Logically speaking, these unscientific things should not be easily believed. Even if that old man could miraculously guess her past accurately, it didn't mean he could predict her future. Yet she felt suffocated with worry, always fearing that the old man's predictions would come true.

  In a daze, she had already forgotten her previous agreement with her husband. When she looked up, she found herself standing in front of the gate of Yuanyang Temple.

  In the Buddhist hall of the temple's front hall, someone was reciting sutras. As soon as Ye Shanshan approached, someone came over to remind her that when the masters were reciting sutras, they could not be disturbed and she had to turn off her phone before entering.

  The masters' recitation of scriptures was not very clear to Ye Shanshan, but after standing at the door and listening for a few minutes, her mood seemed to calm down gradually. This calmness also gave her the urge to continue listening.

  In order to hear more clearly, she instinctively turned off her handkerchief's sound and followed the young master into the Buddhist hall.

  It can be imagined that it won't be easy for Gu Beichen to find her after parking his car.

  Both horizontal and vertical roads have been searched, but the familiar figure has not been seen. Gu Bei Chen decisively dialed her phone number, as a result, the echo from the other end of the phone was that the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable for two consecutive calls.

  "Where has this little thing that won't let me rest gone? You said you wouldn't go far, but now I can't even see your shadow. You're not answering my calls either, are you intentionally trying to make me anxious?"

  Gu Bei Chen's heart was in great turmoil, and he didn't dare go far away, fearing that she would suddenly pop out from some small corner and not be able to find him.

  In desperation, he could only ask passersby for information. However, there were too many people at the scene, and the little girl in the red down jacket was definitely not just Ye Shanshan alone. He asked all along the way, but no one gave him the correct directions.

  It's not a good idea to keep waiting like this, so he finally decided to go into the temple and take a look. The parking time was indeed a bit long, hoping that she had lost patience and continued to wait, so she went into the temple first.

  The chanting of scriptures in the Buddhist hall has ended, and a familiar big sister introduced that there is an ancient tree behind the temple, which is most effective for praying for peace. Ye Shanshan was moved by what she heard and hurriedly followed.

  However, Ye Shanshan did not expect that the way of praying for blessings here was so cliché: writing down the words of blessing on red paper strips, then putting them in a blessing bag, tying it with a red cloth strip and throwing it onto the tree, the higher the better.

  With her strong arms, it's not hard for Ye Shanshan to throw the couplets onto the tree in one go, but she always thinks the position of the couplets is not high enough, and after throwing five, she still wants to continue.

  When Gu Bei Chen arrived, she was throwing the sixth blessing bag onto the tree. Unfortunately, this time the blessing bag hung lower than the previous five times. Moreover, it accidentally hit a branch with accumulated snow, and a pile of snow fell down, coincidentally hitting her head.

  What bad luck! I threw a lucky red envelope and it splashed snow all over me.

  "What are you doing?" Gu Bei Chen's tone was extremely serious due to excessive worry and anxiety.

  Ye Shanshan's face was disheveled as she suddenly turned around, frantically wiping the snow off her face and body. "How did you find this place?"

  "How dare you say that, I've been looking around outside for a while and didn't see anyone, and when I called you, you didn't even pick up. And yet, here you are, throwing red envelopes around." Gu Bei Chen's tone still showed no signs of softening.

  However, the gentle movement of his handkerchief carefully wiping her face still revealed his true feelings at this moment, and that little anger and concern were not worth mentioning in comparison.
