Forcibly marked after being found

Chapter 42

The two of them shuttled through the maze-like mountain trails. The dense bushes left only bare branches, and the dead branches intertwined into layers, but the air was very fresh.

Lin Zian took a deep breath, the cold air mixed with the fragrance of plants penetrated into his lungs, and pushed out the stale air stuffed in his chest.

Jiang Nian suddenly pointed to a bush and whispered, "Brother Zi'an, look at that."

"Huh?" Lin Zian also lowered his voice subconsciously, looking in the direction he pointed.

There was a snow-white rabbit beside the withered bushes. Its long ears stood up as if it sensed danger, and its small red eyes looked around vigilantly.

Lin Zian stepped on the stone steps with his left foot, and there was little movement. The little rabbit's ears twitched slightly, and then quickly rushed into the depths of the jungle, "swoosh -" and disappeared.

"You scared it away." There was a smile in Jiang Nian's voice.

Lin Zian didn't expect the little guy to be so sharp, he coughed lightly to cover up his guilty conscience, "Troubleshooting, hurry up."

"Okay." Jiang Nian pursed his mouth, his tone a little aggrieved, "You despise me again."

Lin Zian reached out and pinched his cheek, the white jade-like skin was delicate to the touch, probably because the weather was too cold and it felt a little icy to the touch.

"Little brat, why do I despise you?"

"I hate everything." Jiang Nian didn't resist, and muttered with a slightly pouted mouth, "I'm not happy if I don't want to kill you."

"Get out." Lin Zian scolded with a smile, "How far is it? You must not go the wrong way, it's been half an hour."

Jiang Nian stared at him for a while, his aggrieved expression didn't stop, and he smiled, "No, I really remembered."

"Hmm." He pondered for a while, "There are still about 10 minutes."

"I hope you're really not lost, otherwise we won't be able to get out before dark, and we'll be stuck in the mountains tonight."

Jiang Nian blinked playfully, "That's not bad, so we can lean together to watch the moon and count the stars. As long as we stay together with Brother Zi'an, it's very romantic anywhere."

Lin Zian glanced at him sideways, and said angrily: "You can push it down, it's so cold now, the two of us will definitely turn into popsicles the next morning."

"It's also a sweet popsicle, maybe it will become one of the attractions."

"roll."

......

The two bickered with each other, and unknowingly walked to an ancient building with brick walls and red tiles.There are three quaint solid wooden doors at the main entrance, and above it is a plaque with three gold characters "Fu Zi Guan" flying like a dragon and a phoenix dancing on it.

Jiang Nian turned his head and looked at him as if offering a treasure, those sparkling eyes seemed to say, "How about it, I'm good."

Lin Zian couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hands to mess up his hairstyle, "Well, it's amazing."

"That's it?" Jiang Nian pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, "Don't you give me a kiss as a reward?"

Lin Zian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a sneer, "Is this the requirement for your bet?"

"Of course not." Jiang Nian immediately denied, "It's too bad to bet on a kiss."

Lin Zian narrowed his eyes involuntarily, and looked at him probingly, "Jiang Nian, what bad idea are you planning?"

Jiang Nian stuck out his tongue with a smile, and said shamelessly, "It's not a bad idea, but I can't say it yet, it's... secret, secret."

Lin Zian sneered, did not continue to ask, but pushed his back and said, "Let's go in and have a look."

Jiang Nian held his left hand backhand, and Lin Zian subconsciously turned his head to meet his gaze.

"Why? The ground here is so flat, you can't fall flat, right?"

"Who knows." Jiang Nian said with a smile, a cunning flashed in his eyes.

Lin Zian feigned anger and said, "Get out."

But he didn't break away from his hand, the palms that were pressed together seemed to ignite a flame, burning along the blood vessels to his heart, a warm current flowed through his heart, but he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

His heart seemed to be tightly bound by two ropes, pulled in different directions, as if to be torn in two by two different emotions.

Although it is New Year's Eve today, there are not many people who come to the Confucius Temple to visit and pray for blessings. Walking through the gate is a large courtyard. In the middle is a huge marriage tree. Although the leaves have almost fallen, the branches are staggered. The red stripes are like unique 'leaves', appearing unusually luxuriant.

Lin Zian was shocked by the scene in front of him at first glance, while Jiang Nian stretched out his hand and grabbed a red ribbon, on which two names were written with black pen, and a small love heart was drawn underneath.

Jiang Nian didn't know what to think, and took a clean red ribbon from the table while he was not paying attention, and stuffed 100 yuan into the donation box beside it.

Lin Zian walked around the garden alone, and seemed to be very interested in the buildings inside.

Jiang Nian walked to his side, "Brother Zi'an, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Lin Zian was noncommittal, and the two walked slowly along the corridor. In addition to the fragrance of plants and trees, the air was also mixed with rich sandalwood. Lin Zian's restless heart gradually calmed down in this quiet atmosphere.

On the way, Jiang Nian went to the bathroom, and Lin Zian was the only one left to walk around the house. There were statues of immortals in every room. Although there were not many tourists, the incense was very prosperous.

When Lin Zian came out of Sanqing Temple, he happened to bump into a middle-aged man in Taoist uniform.

He was about to go around but was stopped by the other party, "Is this little brother interested in Bazi?"

Lin Zian raised his eyebrows, took a step back and said calmly, "No, thank you for your kindness."

"Hey." Seeing that he was about to leave, the Taoist chief immediately blocked the way, "Meeting is fate, if you don't look at the horoscope, just look at the face."

Lin Zian was so entangled by him that he couldn't help but because this was a Taoist temple, other people's sites were not easy to break out.

He said helplessly, "That's fine, just show me whatever you want."

The sun had already started to set, and the bright light began to become dim. The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at it carefully with the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lin Zian's hairs stood on end when he saw him, and he wished he could kick him over.

But he held back.

"Little brother, you come from a good family. Although your parents are not in harmony, your life has been smooth and smooth. You are smart, and you are very clever in dealing with people. It is a good fate, but..." His expression was a little hesitant for a moment , "Your relationship is relatively bumpy, and you are a 'marriage of heaven and earth'. If you don't go well in the early stage, you will be entangled with the destined person for a long time. If you get through it, you will be able to go smoothly and be harmonious."

Lin Zian didn't take it seriously at first, but the more he listened to it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He changed his absent-minded state, stood up slightly, and his face became a bit more serious.

When the Taoist leader mentioned that the relationship was not going well, what appeared in Lin Zian's mind was the entanglement between the two during this period of time.

His heart trembled slightly, as if someone had pricked it with a needle, and it was tingling and numb.

"What's 'marriage from heaven and earth'?" Lin Zi'an subconsciously asked, he knew it was stupid, but he couldn't restrain himself.

The Taoist priest opened his mouth and was about to explain, but was interrupted by him again, "Sorry, just pretend I didn't ask anything."

Lin Zian felt that it was ridiculous for him to be like this. He actually wanted to pin the relationship between two people on the so-called fortune-telling. Even if there really was a so-called destiny, it was determined by man and not by nature.

In doing so, he can only go to the doctor in a hurry, which is useless.

Daoist frowned slightly, looked at him quietly for a few seconds, and sighed silently.

"Little brother, you need to donate to the Taoist temple to see your face."

Lin Zian: "..."

He knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"how much is it?"

The Taoist priest stretched out his palm and said, "Five hundred."

Lin Zian now confirms that he was deceived. Thanks to him, he thought carefully about what the other party said, and he was afraid that the cold wind in the mountains had blown his mind silly.

Resisting the urge to hit someone, he took out 300 yuan from his wallet and stuffed it into the donation box beside him, "It's only [-] yuan, no more."

After finishing speaking, he turned around angrily and left without waiting for the other party's answer. The Taoist priest looked at his figure that was getting further and further away, heaved a long sigh, and muttered softly: "Oh, evil fate."

"Huh? Master, what did you say?" A Taoist boy appeared at some time, looked up at him and asked childishly.

Daoist squatted down, pinched the tip of his nose with a smile, "This is not something children should know."

"Go, master will take you to finish the meal."

"Okay." Xiao Daotong also forgot the question just now, dropped the broom in his hand, and followed behind.

......

"Brother Zi'an, where did you go just now?" Jiang Nian walked over and took his hands naturally.

Lin Zian's hands were always cold, and after a while they were frozen like ice cubes. Jiang Nian put his hands together and rubbed them gently, and it took a while to warm them up again.

Lin Zian looked down at his cautious and thoughtful movements, his eyes flashed slightly and then returned to calm, like a stone thrown into a lake, which just caused a ripple, and soon disappeared completely.

He concealed the conversation just now, and replied casually: "Strolling around, why have you been going to the bathroom for so long?"

A strange color flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes, "Well, it took me a while to find the way because there are no signs here."

Lin Zian didn't think much about it, nodded and walked out, "Let's go, otherwise we won't be able to reach the top of the mountain before dark."

Jiang Nian followed step by step, turned his head to look at a certain direction of the Marriage Tree from an angle he couldn't see, and there was a brand new red ribbon on the branch, which was shaking slightly with the mountain wind.

His eyes were dark and heavy, and his heart was in a rare mess.

When the two reached the top of the mountain, it was completely dark, and the rest of the class had already arrived. The boys were gathering together to set up tents, and the girls were gathering around the campfire, preparing dinner tonight.

Chen Yu was sharp-eyed, and he was the first to see them. He joked narrowly, "Hey, are you finally willing to come here? I thought you guys planned to spend the night alone in the wilderness tonight."

Jiang Nian didn't say anything, just smiled and stretched out his hand to open the fastened connector. The bent brace bounced and hit his calf, causing him almost to collapse in pain.

Jiang Nian calmly withdrew his hand, under Chen Yu's glaring gaze, he leaned close to Lin Zian's side as usual, and said softly, "Brother Zi'an, are you hungry?"

"It's okay." Lin Zian asked back, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Nian shook his head. He staggered his body and stood on one side. His tall back just blocked the eyes of gossip around him. He took out a piece of white chocolate from his coat pocket.

Lin Zian raised his eyebrows, watching the slender fingers lightly unpack the package, and pressed the white chocolate against his lips, showing a trace of blood against the pale lip color.

Lin Zian raised his eyes and glanced at him, just in time to meet a pair of sparkling eyes, Jiang Nian looked at him full of hope, his earnest eyes warmed his heart.

He opened his mouth and took a bite.

The sweetness of chocolate melted in his mouth, Lin Zian narrowed his eyes slightly, the overly sweet taste made him feel a little bitter for a moment.

That bit of bitterness mixed with a strong sweetness poured into his heart, his heart beat heavily, and complicated emotions filled his heart.

Jiang Nian looked at him with a smile, pinched the remaining piece of Baiqiao with her clean fingertips and put it on her lips. Under Lin Zian's gaze, she stretched out the tip of her bright red tongue and rolled it into her mouth.

It was obviously just a simple movement, but he did it slowly and ambiguously, as if he was flirting.

Lin Zian's heart skipped a beat when he was teased by his small movements, and before he could speak, he heard him whispering in his ear, "Well, it's even sweeter than the original one."

There was a deep smile in his tone.

The author has something to say: Fuck, Jiang Nian, you little goblin.
