The flickering lights above my head make me feel as if I am standing under a sky full of stars. However, being alone, I can't help but feel a little awkward. Zhou Heng has been inside for quite a while, I wonder what he's doing.
I keep looking towards the direction of the kitchen, feeling uneasy. In this kind of environment, romantic things often happen between young men and women, but he is Zhou Heng.
Sigh, I better not think too much.
Before long, Zhou Heng came out, holding a tray with a pot of freshly brewed tea on it. Seeing him coming over with graceful steps, in the moonlight, he was enveloped in a soft glow. His originally clear and refined appearance now gave me an illusion. A figure bathed in moonlight, coming towards me, was it a banished immortal who had just walked out?
I just stared at him blankly until he came close to me.
"I'm afraid you won't sleep well at night, so I changed to calming Bodhi tea."
He's very careful, even thinking of this, which comforts me as I prop up my chin and look at him.
He has already placed the teapot, filled the teacup with tea, and slowly pushed it in front of me.
"Master, what is Bodhi tea? Is it the leaves of the Bodhi tree?"
He smiled and nodded, indicating for me to taste it.
I tried to pick up the teacup and took a sniff. A pleasant fragrance wafted over, very delightful. The golden tea looked like the color of champagne in the soft light. In such a romantic moment, I might as well consider it as drinking wine.
Hmm, with one sip, it's sweet, with a hint of bitterness, but after sliding down my throat, it leaves a lingering aftertaste.
"I added honey, it tastes even better."
"No wonder, it's bittersweet."
Just like my feelings for Zhou Heng, it's joyful but tinged with a hint of sorrow.
I looked up at Zhou Heng, his pure and shining eyes gazing softly at me, and we fell into silence.
In the tranquil moment, the lights flicker, and the mist disperses around us. Our thoughts are understood by each other. Ye Ling Silence is the best response. This scene is truly romantic.
"Um, does this count as a date?" I blurted out suddenly.
Zhou Heng's eyes slightly glazed over, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, it does."
Then he smiled gently and asked me, "Do you like basketball?"
"It's okay."
I don't know why he suddenly asked me this. I told the truth. When Wang Ze used to play basketball, I would cheer on the sidelines. It's not because I like watching basketball, I just wanted to watch the person playing basketball.
And since then, it's been many years since I've watched anyone play basketball.
"On Friday, there will be a friendly basketball match between Qingyun Temple and the nearby Baiyun Temple. Do you... do you want to come and watch?" He spoke with a hint of shyness, avoiding eye contact and fidgeting with his fingers on the teacup.
He seemed nervous! Ha, Master Zhou is actually this nervous when asking me out.
This side of him did not make me happy like it used to."
"Okay," I agreed readily.
The Taoist priests seem to have a rich leisure life, even playing basketball. Zhou Heng should be quite an athlete, judging by his well-maintained physique with no excess fat, indicating regular exercise.
I really want to see what Zhou Heng Master looks like playing basketball.
He nodded busily, without responding. But I saw the corners of his mouth curve upward, and a joyful look flashed in his eyes.
I smiled and lowered my eyes, unable to contain my joy.
He reached out to pour me some tea, and as the tea remained unspilled, my thoughts overflowed with the hazy moonlight. When I looked up, I met Zhou Heng's clear gaze. His face was slightly flushed, and his words became hesitant in an instant: "I'm sorry for letting you see those unpleasant things today."
I busily shook my head and explained, "No, I don't mind." I just wanted to tell him that I don't care about his family, nor do I care about his father's affairs, because the only thing I care about is him, Zhou Heng. Suddenly, his expression changed, and a faint worry appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "In my memory, I don't remember what my father looked like a long time ago. I don't hate him, nor do I blame my mother. Resentment, love, and the inevitable hardships of life are too much. Let's just go with the flow of life's ups and downs."
I stared at him blankly, his cultivation had long transcended the mundane world.
"When I first arrived at the temple, I would often cry out for my family in the middle of the night, and a few times I even ran away by myself. I don't know where I found the courage to run around in the pitch-black mountains. In the end, my master and senior brothers searched for me for most of the night and finally found me. But I was so tired from crying that I fell asleep on the side of the road."
He smiled bitterly, and my heart ached terribly. He could now speak so easily about his past, but I didn't know how many times he had been tempered in his heart to be so open.
I feel so upset in my heart, my eyes can't help but get wet. I really want to comfort him, but I don't know what to say.
He saw me so sad, but instead he smiled and said, "Silly, why cry! That's all in the past. If you hold onto it in your heart, then you won't feel good either."
My throat felt sour and uncomfortable, as if choked.
"Do you not hate them at all?"
He shook his head and smiled lightly, "Life is short, whether you're happy or not, it's just one day. Every day, we should live well."
His words amused me, leaving me in a state of laughter and tears.
"Master, don't worry, I won't leave you unless you dislike me or get tired of me."
I dragged him into this bustling world, and I won't let go no matter what.
My hand didn't realize that what times had already held his hand. His hand trembled visibly, and then his eyes looked somewhat unnatural.
I deliberately held his hand and said with a smile, "I'll tell you, it was a Taoist from your Qingyun Temple who told my fortune. If I'm still not married at 25, you'll be responsible. You have to marry me, otherwise I'll go to your Qingyun Temple and cause trouble."
"How can you say that? If you cause trouble at Qingyun Temple, my master will be furious. Well, forget it. I'll take responsibility for this matter to make it right."
"Yes, Master Zhou wants to help others transcend the world, so why not start with me?"
Zhou Heng I can't help but laugh and cry, "You always come up with more twisted reasoning than I do." Unconsciously, his palm has already covered mine, gently holding my hands. The warmth from his palm is comforting, and his long, slender fingers seem to carry a certain magic, stirring waves in my heart. Hmm!
Suddenly a cough sounded, and Zhou Heng and I instantly let go of each other's hands, creating an awkward moment. When did Jiang Qingyuan arrive next to us? We didn't even notice. I facepalmed, feeling flustered, and pretended to drink tea.
Zhou Heng remained calm with a gentle expression and simply asked, "Does your face still hurt?"
Jiang Qingyuan sat down beside me and deliberately said, "Hey, my face doesn't hurt now, but my heart does."
I gave him a look, "Do you have heart disease?"
" Sister Meng Sister, you should also consider the feelings of us single dogs. I'm heartbroken from being bullied, I can't take it anymore."
Jiang Qingyuan looked extremely aggrieved, causing both Zhou Heng and me to burst out laughing uncontrollably.
"See, they have such great chemistry."
I reached out and deliberately patted his shoulder, laughing and scolding, "It's all because of your unethical little universe exploding. You arranged a romantic dinner for us, so don't blame us for teasing the single dog."
Jiang Qingyuan pursed his lips, feeling quite frustrated, "What's wrong with being single? Is being single a crime? I was single for nineteen years since birth, and I'm proud of it."
"Fine, you're proudly single based on your own merits."
"Brother, can you talk to sister-in-law? She's always badmouthing people..."
Zhou Heng frowned, glanced at me, and slowly took a sip of tea. "Can I really not handle this matter?"
Jiang Qingyuan grumbled, "Hey, are you already taking her side? Brother, consider my feelings, I'm feeling very desperate."
"Kid, what desperate thing do you have to say? Let's hear it and have a good laugh."
Jiang Qingyuan rolled his eyes, "Heaven, how did I end up with a nemesis."
Zhou Heng locked eyes with me, then smiled helplessly.
I deliberately shouted, "Hurry up and go to sleep, kids shouldn't interfere with adults' love affairs."
Jiang Qingyuan looked wronged and pursed his lips, "I'm just extra, fine, I'll go."
Watching Jiang Qingyuan quickly leave, both Zhou Heng and I came to our senses and started laughing again. Jiang Qingyuan is the joy of the Zhou family. Whenever there's a need to lighten the mood at home, he always shows up and plays his part.
Honestly, I really like Jiang Qingyuan's personality. I also believe that any girl who can marry Jiang Qingyuan must be happy every day.
I chatted with Zhou Heng for a long time until it got dark, and I felt a chill, so I couldn't help but sneeze. Zhou Heng pulled me and hurried me into the house. He just stood at the door and didn't come in, while I stood outside, reluctant to leave, watching him.
"Can't we chat a little longer?"
"It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold."
I felt unwilling in my heart: "But I haven't seen you in a long time, I want to chat with you."
Zhou Heng I let out a long sigh, and with hopeful eyes, I grabbed his arm and pleaded, "Just ten minutes."
His fingers lightly brushed my forehead, quickly tapping it, "I really can't do anything with you."
We stood outside like this, one outside the door, one inside, it's funny to say, as if separated by a boundary.
Zhou Heng has always been a steady person, acting extremely upright. I understand why he did this.
I admire him more and more in my heart.
In this world, which man can be so upright and self-disciplined? But he can.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, ten minutes have passed. Zhou Heng didn't speak, but I took the initiative to look at my watch, "Alright, time's up, Master, please go back." Zhou Heng looked a bit surprised, he muttered an "oh" and there was a hint of desolation in his eyes. In the instant he turned around, I called out to him, " Zhou Heng, I'm very happy today."
He was first taken aback, then smiled and replied gently, "I feel the same way."
I heard the answer I wanted, felt joyful, gently closed the door, leaned against it, and was still in an excited state.
Today, I held hands with Zhou Heng.
This is our first date, the first time holding hands, a very memorable day.
Silently in love, quietly joyful.
My heart is moved, already for you.
At this moment, I just want to implore the gods to let our happiness continue.
