The Most Beautiful Years Met You [125] She secretly ran to the pharmacy to buy a shelter
Yu Zhongxiao waited outside for a long time. After smoking his second cigarette, he stood there for a while and no one came out, so he followed the crowd into the temple.
Tourists kowtow and burn incense can be seen everywhere in Kek Lok Temple.
Yu Zhongxiao didn't find anyone at the place where he made his wish. He looked around, but there was no lively and active figure either.
The old woman who set up a stall selling incense rings nearby asked him if he wanted to make a wish. Yu Zhongxiao looked at the tourists queuing up to hang incense rings and was not very interested. He declined and left the Buddha Respecting Building.
The old lady at home also ran to the temple every three days, but Yu Zhongxiao never believed in these things.
He found someone in an inconspicuous room.
Ye Hehuan knelt on the futon with his back to the door, facing the small statue of Bodhisattva, clasping his hands in front of his chest, lowering his head, closing his eyes, with a pious and sincere expression on his face.
Yu Zhongxiao did not step across the threshold. He stopped when he reached the door and stared at the quiet and slender figure.
Suddenly he didn't want to interrupt her.
A premonition came into his mind, and Yu Zhongxiao felt that Ye Hehuan was thinking about him now.
That's an indescribable feeling.
In the years after they were separated, Yu Zhongxiao would remember this scene from time to time, either in the dead of night or when facing those bustling scenes alone.
…
Ye Hehuan didn't know that women couldn't come to worship Buddha when they were on their period. She had never been to the temple with anyone, so naturally she didn't know the precautions in this regard.
When the old lady told her this taboo, Ye Hehuan's whole little face twisted into a ball of confusion.
She did not dare to go to the Main Hall anymore, so she chose a remote hut, knelt down and apologized to the Bodhisattva enshrined there, and donated all the cash she had on her into the merit box.
Ye Hehuan was muttering something when she felt someone else behind her. When she opened her eyes, Yu Zhongxiao was already squatting next to her.
"What are you telling Bodhisattva?" There was a smile in his eyes.
Ye Hehuan shook his head seriously: "I can't tell you, it won't work if I say it."
Yu Zhongxiao didn't ask. He stood up first and then pulled her up. When he saw her bending over to rub her knees, he knelt down and reached out to touch her legs: "Are you sore?"
Ye Hehuan looked down at him, feeling the gentle strength in his hand, and it took him a while to calm down.
She looked at the Bodhisattva statue with awe in her eyes, then blushed and said in a low voice: "This is not good in front of the Bodhisattva."
"Yeah." Yu Zhongxiao responded, without stopping the kneading movements of his hands.
It happened that at this time, a tourist was coming in at the door. When Yu Zhongxiao let her go and stood up, Ye Hehuan couldn't care about anything else and grabbed his hand and hurriedly left the house.
The cool breeze blew on Ye Hehuan's face, but it could not disperse the red tide. As he walked, he complained: "What if the Bodhisattva blames me?"
Yu Zhongxiao was dragged by her for a while and said with a smile: "Isn't the Bodhisattva the most tolerant? It would be too petty to blame you for such a trivial matter."
"..."
Ye Hehuan was choked by him and became speechless. He pursed his lips, walked back and hugged his arm: "You are sophistry."
Yu Zhongxiao's right arm suddenly crossed in front of her body, and his big hand reached for the corner of yellow paper exposed in her pocket, while asking: "What is this?"
It was too late for Ye Hehuan to stop it.
Looking at the amulet in his hand, he curled his lips and broke the jar and said, "Isn't it written on it? It's an amulet."
"For me?"
Ye Hehuan stretched out his hand to snatch it back: "This is not good, please give it back to me first."
Yu Zhongxiao raised his hand and took a closer look at the amulet. He had no intention of returning it to her: "It looks good to me."
"...This amulet is unlucky."
Ye Hehuan explained with a blushing face: "They all said that you cannot come to worship Buddha when you are on your period. It is very disrespectful to the Bodhisattva. I didn't know that before."
If she had known, she wouldn't have clamored for him to bring her here today.
"Otherwise, just throw it away." Ye Hehuan suggested.
But Yu Zhongxiao put the amulet into his trouser pocket and said, "I have asked for it, it would be a pity to throw it away, so let's keep it for now."
Ye Hehuan saw this and said, "But it's unlucky..."
"Well, so you can't give it to others."
Ye Hehuan couldn't suppress the sweetness in his heart, but he couldn't help complaining: "I don't have any money. I just donated it to the merit box to alleviate my sins."
Yu Zhongxiao held her little hand tightly: "When I return to City B, I will give you my salary card."
Ye Hehuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, but then he calmed down his expression and asked curiously: "Then how much money do you have in your card?"
"I haven't calculated it carefully, but the last time I bought a house, it cost about a million."
"Leave it to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will lose all your money?"
She is a famous prodigal daughter!
But Yu Zhongxiao said calmly: "It's better to have someone help you lose than to hold on until you are old."
Ye Hehuan didn't speak any more. He was just as happy as he was, and couldn't help but close his arms around him.
…
By the time they came out of Kek Lok Si Temple, it was already past four in the afternoon.
As the closing time of the tourist attraction approached, tourists began to come out one after another. Several tour company buses were parked at the gate, and taxis were also waiting to pick up passengers.
Yu Zhongxiao stretched out his hand to hail a taxi.
Ye Hehuan stopped him and pointed to a nearby place: "I just asked, there is a bus stop a few hundred meters away, would you like to take the bus with me?"
After she finished speaking, her pair of bright cat eyes looked at him eagerly.
Yu Zhongxiao could see that she wanted to be 'take advantage' again, but looking into her eyes, he couldn't say the word 'not good'.
The two of them waited for about ten minutes before the bus came.
After getting on the bus, she found that there was only one empty seat left, so Yu Zhongxiao asked her to sit there.
Ye Hehuan didn't want to, so she hugged his waist instead. The familiar masculine scent lingered around her. She raised her head and said, "I like to stay like this."
Yu Zhongxiao no longer forced her to sit. When other passengers crowded over, he subconsciously protected the petite child in his arms.
…
While searching for tourist attractions at noon, Ye Hehuan asked Baidu where to find delicious food in Harbin.
The two got off the bus at Central Street Station and chose a traditional restaurant for dinner.
After dinner, maybe because of his aunt, Ye Hehuan was a little tired and didn't bother Yu Zhongxiao to go to the night market. He just went to a nearby supermarket to buy the daily necessities he needed for the past few days.
Ye Hehuan bought a lot of snacks. When Yu Zhongxiao was queuing up to check out, she slipped out of the supermarket on the pretext of going to the toilet.
There is a pharmacy next to the supermarket, and she noticed it just now.
After Ye Hehuan entered, he walked around the counter first. After seeing other customers leaving, he immediately said to the little girl buying medicine: "I want to buy medicine."
Seven or eight o'clock in the evening is the peak period for supermarkets.
When Ye Hehuan came back, it was Yu Zhongxiao's turn to check out at the cashier. She smiled and walked over: "Why is it so slow?"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Yu Zhongxiao lowered his head and asked her after paying.
Ye Hehuan shook his head hurriedly, denying that he had dysmenorrhea, his eyes flickering: "Just go to the toilet normally."
Yu Zhongxiao saw her hands in her pockets, as if she were hiding something, looking sneaky. Since there were people around, he asked after leaving the supermarket: "What's in the pocket?"
"It's nothing." Ye Hehuan denied it, but did not dare to look at him because of his guilty conscience.
"Then what are you covering with your hands?"
Ye Hehuan's face turned red. Seeing that he couldn't get through the trick, he thought there was nothing to hide, so he took out the medicine. It was a box of Yuting that had not been opened yet.
Yu Zhongxiao: "..."
"Anyway, there is a drugstore nearby, so I bought it by the way."
Ye Hehuan observed Yu Zhongxiao's face and whispered softly: "I heard people say that men don't feel comfortable wearing condoms, so they just want to take medicine."
"Who did you listen to?"
Ye Hehuan blinked his eyelashes, fearing that he would misunderstand him, so he explained playfully: "Come on."
"..."
That box of birth control pills ended up in a roadside trash can.
Ye Hehuan was reluctant to part with it and wanted to pick it back, but Yu Zhongxiao held her back: "There's no need for this."
Seeing that she seemed unhappy, he didn't know what to say, so he simply handed her the shopping bag in his hand: "Wait here."
Ye Hehuan looked up and saw that Yu Zhongxiao had already entered the pharmacy.
Not long after, he came back.
"What are you doing?" Ye Hehuan asked.
Yu Zhongxiao took the shopping bag and put everything in his hands into the bag.
Through the street lights, Ye Hehuan saw clearly that it was a box of condoms. She was stunned and couldn't help herself. Then she heard Yu Zhongxiao's low voice: "You are still young. Taking that kind of medicine is not good for your health."
Ye Hehuan felt warm in his heart because he thought about himself, and the fact that he went out to buy this also meant that he wanted to be with her...
When she heard him preaching, she whispered softly, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.
…
The next day, the two went to climb Phoenix Mountain. On the way back, Ye Hehuan fell asleep on Yu Zhongxiao's shoulder.
