During the meal, I naturally received everyone's care. Although Zhou Heng didn't say much, I could feel that he had something on his mind. After the meal, my stomach was full and I felt a bit frustrated. Everyone was lively in clearing the dishes, and there was laughter in the kitchen. I felt that the the Chiang family had a strong family atmosphere. However, Zhou Heng's temperament seemed so out of place.
I really don't understand why the the Chiang family sent him to the Taoist temple for over ten years of purification. And their attitude towards me is making me doubt, being so enthusiastic towards me actually makes me uneasy. I know they deliberately left me and Zhou Heng in the yard, just the two of us sitting there, who can't see the meaning behind it! Only Zhou Heng is taciturn.
I glanced at him with a hint of dissatisfaction. Zhou Heng took out the medicine cabinet and was about to change my bandage. "You're not good at bending over, I'll do it for you so you don't have to change it again tonight," he said, carefully taking out the bandage and gently tearing open the packaging.
In my heart, I was already unhappy, and I said somewhat stubbornly, "It's not necessary. Master Zhou is very busy, right? This little injury of mine won't matter much. I can change it myself. It's no trouble for why should or Master. We'll say hello to Mrs. Jiang and leave after they're done with their work." Zhou Heng looked at me with a surprised expression, with a look that I couldn't understand. He slowly said, " Daoist Ling, are you angry with why should?" I felt regret in my heart, "Am I angry with you?"
He clearly wanted to infuriate me.
Zhou Heng looked at me like that, our eyes met, but we each had our own thoughts. We stood there for a long time, neither of us spoke, and even the air seemed to change its flavor.
"Here it is, be careful, it's hot."
Jiang Qingyuan came over with a large glass pot in his hand, running quickly. He quickly placed it on the table, rubbed his hands, and said, "Freshly brewed fruit tea, good for health and wellness."
I looked at the steaming pot of fruit tea and felt that my mood was as varied as that pot of tea.
Jiang Qingyuan seemed to sense that both of us were not in the right mood. He sat down with a smile and deliberately said, "Bro, why don't you stay at home today? Mom has prepared so much, and she's so happy, you see."
Zhou Heng looked calm and simply said, "I'm used to living in the observatory."
This was his way of refusing, and I felt it might be because of me that Zhou Heng didn't want to stay here. It's true, I was putting him in a difficult position, which must have been annoying for him.
I forced a smile and asked, "Do you have time this afternoon, Jiang Qingyuan? Are you going to the school?"
Jiang Qingyuan looked at me in confusion, shook his head, and asked, "Not going back? There's no class tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then you can just take me home."
As soon as I said that, Zhou Heng's expression suddenly changed. He was clearly suppressing his emotions, and I saw him slowly calm down, still looking indifferent to everything.
Jiang Qingyuan immediately asked, "Why? Didn't you promise?"
I glanced at Zhou Heng and said, "I have something to take care of and need to go back."
Jiang Qingyuan panicked, approached Zhou Heng and asked in a low voice, "Brother, say something."
"Don't make it difficult for Master, Jiang Qingyuan, if you don't send me, I'll call a car myself."
Zhou Heng's eyes were complicated, he just looked at me quietly, wanting to speak but hesitating.
I was really about to explode, I was afraid that if I stayed here, I would erupt.
"Don't go, miss, please don't go."
"Alright, then I'll come back after seeing you off."
"Thank you for your kindness, there's really no need."
Zhou Heng Still no words from him. I am truly disappointed to the extreme. Perhaps he is afraid that my presence here will affect his family and disrupt his spiritual practice. At this moment, I feel so ridiculous. I can't control myself anymore. Today, I must make things clear, or else I will suffer internal injuries and perish.
"Jiang Qingyuan." I called out and made up my mind, "You go play over there, let me have a few words with your brother." Jiang Qingyuan was first stunned, then happily got up, "Alright, you guys chat." As he left, he glanced at me meaningfully. Jiang Qingyuan left, and in an instant, the yard became very quiet, with only the sound of birds chirping on the branches, and not a sound from the kitchen.
"I think it was Jiang Qingyuan who blabbed to them. I reckon by now, they've already slipped out the back door of this courtyard.
Well, it's just the two of us left, so we can talk about anything now.
Zhou Heng seemed a bit flustered, and seeing my stern expression, he tentatively asked, ' Daoist Ling, what's the matter?'"
"I clear my throat gently, ' Master Zhou, it's better to make some things clear."
He: ".........."
Me: "I know you are a practitioner, seeing through and letting go of worldly emotions, so naturally you don't understand matters of the heart."
He just stared at me, his astonished expression making me realize that my words had shocked him.
"I'll ask you one question," I blurted out.
Zhou Heng stuttered, "You, you ask."
I sat up straight, trying to calm myself down. "What exactly do you feel for me?"
"Hmm?"
"I mean, do you have any feelings for me?"
Zhou Heng stood there in a daze, motionless, as if under a spell.
I regretfully said with a hint of anger, "Zhou Heng, if you really don't like me, I won't appear in front of you again, and I won't make things difficult for you."
Zhou Heng looked stunned and lost in his eyes.
"Do you think I have a thick skin and often bother you?"
My nose suddenly felt sour. As a girl, speaking so clearly, I was just asking for trouble.
In an instant, my voice choked up a bit, "I know, I made a big mistake. I fell in love with a Taoist priest, and the gods will punish me."
There is a moist feeling in my eyes, and the figure of Zhou Heng also becomes blurry to me.
I just looked at him like this, unable to say anything more. My previous tough attitude has now turned my heart into a mess, feeling extremely sad.
Suddenly, he reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of my eye. I smelled that familiar sandalwood scent again, lingering around my nose.
I heard him sigh, and then he said calmly, "No, you are not wrong, I am. The promise of Good Affinity, that was what I said to you." I cried helplessly, "I know I shouldn't have feelings for you. You are a Taoist, and your life is dedicated to the gods. Have I disturbed your spiritual practice? Shouldn't I go to hell?" He gently smiled and wiped away my tears with his hands, "Don't cry! Even if someone has to go to hell, it should be me."
He reached out and pulled out a tissue to wipe my nose, saying, "Since it's destined by fate, let's just accept it calmly." I held his hand tightly and managed to stop crying, asking, "So, do you like me?" He shook his head helplessly, saying, "Yes."
At this moment, my feelings are very complicated. I am very happy that Zhou Heng has me in his heart, but I also vaguely feel that such a feeling, how long can we persist. Whatever, since fate is like this, we can only go with the flow. Finally, my mood has improved, Zhou Heng poured me a cup of fruit tea.
His voice has always been gentle, giving a sense of reassurance. I asked him, "If you are interested in me, why do you deliberately avoid my hints?" Zhou Heng replied, "Yao Yao told me that you haven't forgotten about your first boyfriend, and he still has feelings for you."
Originally, last time at Qingyun Temple, big mouthed Yao told Zhou Heng that Wang Ze is pursuing me, and we are in a first love relationship. Yao Yao exaggerates, saying things like Wang Ze's intense pursuit, previous love... which made Zhou Heng confused, but he thought that there was still hope for me and Wang Ze, so he naturally couldn't do anything to ruin someone's marriage.
He is originally a person who goes with the flow and won't do anything out of line, so every time he sees me, he is very polite.
That night, I and Wang Ze were intimately hugging each other, and he became even more convinced that the relationship between me and Wang Ze would eventually break the ice. So, when he came to see me, he thought I was unhappy because of a quarrel with Wang Ze.
He naturally left with a sense of loss in his heart. However, during those days, he would often be absent-minded during morning and evening classes. He had regretfully let himself stand in the cold wind all night, just to figure out this matter.
He said, "It is a test on my path of cultivation, whether good or bad, I must go through it. Since it has happened, it is fate. Whether it's Good Affinity or bad fate, none of us can escape it."
After listening, I was stunned.
Originally, there was this misunderstanding inside. big mouthed Yao, ah, big mouthed Yao, she meant to help me, to make Zhou Heng feel a sense of urgency, although she knew that Zhou Heng completely misunderstood. This is great, it almost gave me internal injuries recently.
I busily asked, "So, are you really worried that your family's concern for me today will cause trouble for you?"
He nodded, "My family has always hoped that you and I could have a future together, so they are especially enthusiastic towards you."
I awkwardly scratched my hair and stuttered, "I thought... you, you felt that I was disturbing your peace..."
Zhou Heng has a refreshing look in his eyes and a pure gaze, saying: "Cultivation depends on oneself. With a divine presence in the heart, one will not be disturbed by the outside world." I admire his faith and sincerity. Yes, having a divine presence in the heart is the most devout.
He bent down and looked at my ankle carefully, and said, "Can I change your bandage now?" I hesitated for a moment, then rolled up my pants to reveal my ankle. He carefully applied a new bandage for me, and from my perspective, he was so gentle, as if every movement was so methodical. I think this is probably because he has been independent since he was young, and has been trained to do things in an orderly manner.
He applied the ointment and showed a relieved smile. Looking up, he met my gaze and said, "It's almost healed. Rest here for a few days, and you'll be able to go back to work."
He was trying to keep me here. I felt a hint of joy in my heart. It turns out I'm not the only one in love. Zhou Heng understands my feelings.
I responded with an "oh" and a smile, but didn't say anything.
The air also becomes a little sweet, and I smell the scent of sandalwood mixed with the fragrance of grass, instantly feeling refreshed.
The relationship between me and Zhou Heng is like a wisp of fragrance floating in the air, subtly penetrating the heart and refreshing the mind.
We look at each other, no longer speaking.
This feeling is indescribable.
The Buddha said: It cannot be said.
