Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Jiang Yiting didn't respond immediately, as if she was just imagining things in her mind as he said.

However, just imagining it made her ears start to feel slightly warm.

"That sounds good, but..." Jiang Yiting turned her gaze from the distance to Chen Bainian's profile, "Maybe we should find 'Big Brother' a wife first?"

She cracked a little joke to ease the slight unease in her heart before continuing more seriously, "Besides, enjoying this slow-paced lifestyle doesn't come cheap. Shouldn't our CEO, Mr. Chen, lead me through a few years of hard work first?"

Her use of "President Chen" carried a slightly intimate and teasing tone.

And the understanding and tacit approval of the simple vision he just described, which includes "us" and "the future," is already clear in his words.

Hearing this, Chen Bainian turned his head, met her gaze, and smiled: "Yes, Teacher Jiang is right. So, in order to achieve a slower pace in the future, we need to speed things up a bit now."

The two smiled at each other, and all the unspoken words and expectations seemed to melt into the landscape they had gazed upon together.

After standing quietly for a while, Chen Bainian put down his backpack and took out the drone from it.

He skillfully piloted the drone into the air, circling the ridge where they were, capturing the moment, the grandeur, and the tranquility of the landscape.

After completing the operation, the drone landed steadily in Chen Bainian's palm. He put it away, checked the time, and said, "If we go down from here and walk slowly along the Xishan Trail towards Lingyin Temple, it should take about two hours to get there."

The rain has lessened, the streets are quiet with no one around, and the scenery is quite nice—perfect for a light meal.

By the time we get there, there should be far fewer tourists.

"Okay." Jiang Yiting nodded. The local farm food and unique scenery at lunchtime seemed to energize her, filling her with anticipation for the upcoming trip to Lingyin Temple. "Let's go! Our destination: vegetarian noodles at Lingyin Temple, and... um, to visit some ancient temples!"

She quietly swallowed her little thoughts about finding a husband, but Chen Bainian had already read them in her shifty eyes.

He smiled and naturally reached out his hand to her: "The ground is slippery, hold on tight."

Jiang Yiting looked at the increasingly familiar, well-defined hand in front of her, and without hesitation, she placed her hand on it.

Their palms touched, warmth spreading between them, a feeling of comfort and peace that lingered in the damp mountain air on a humid afternoon.

"Let's go!" Chen Bainian gripped her hand tightly, led her, and headed towards Lingyin Temple.

The two strolled along the Xishan hiking trail, stopping occasionally to admire the mountain scenery and chat.

By 3 p.m., the sky had cleared up, and Chen Bainian had carefully folded their two transparent raincoats and put them back into his large-capacity hiking backpack.

After turning a corner, the ancient and magnificent eaves and yellow walls of Lingyin Temple can be seen through the trees ahead.

Just as Chen Bainian had predicted, there were not many tourists at the entrance of the scenic area at this time.

The two bought e-tickets on their phones on the way, and then followed the other tourists, scanning the codes in an orderly fashion to enter.

The two passed through the gate with the plaque "Lingyin Temple" and officially entered the area where this ancient temple is located. A private, almost imperceptible scent of incense permeated the air after the rain.

After the drizzle, the halls of Lingyin Temple appeared spotless, exuding a serene and solemn charm amidst the damp air and lingering incense smoke.

After receiving three sticks of incense at the entrance, the two slowly walked towards the main hall.

Chen Bainian's gaze swept over the majestic palaces, the swirling cigarette smoke, and the tourists with expressions of piety or curiosity, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

In both his past and present lives, he was not a devout believer in gods or Buddhas; rather, he held a deep reverence for nature and the cause and effect of human affairs.

But now, having been reborn and reunited with Jiang Yiting, the mysterious scene of the two of them touching the top of the Twelve Towers and bestowing longevity upon each other on Lingyin Mountain in the morning has given him some inexplicable understanding of the opportunities and causes in the dark.

Standing here in this ancient temple, listening to the faint chanting of Buddhist hymns and looking at the earnest profile of the girl beside me, an indescribable sense of destiny quietly crept into my heart.

Jiang Yiting walked to the offering table and, following the example of other worshippers, lit three incense sticks on the flame of the ever-burning lamp.

Wisps of smoke rose, blurring her profile.

She held the incense sticks in both hands, closed her eyes, silently recited something in her heart, then bowed respectfully three times, and finally smelled the incense sticks before inserting them into the huge incense burner.

Chen Bainian stood half a step behind her, watching quietly.

He knew that those three sticks of incense contained her prayers, and were probably also related to them...

After doing all this, Jiang Yiting returned to Chen Bainian's side, her cheeks slightly flushed, whether from the incense smoke or some other reason, it was unclear.

She looked at Chen Bainian, who was still holding three unlit incense sticks in his hand, just standing there quietly.

"Aren't you going to pray?" Jiang Yiting asked softly.

Chen Bainian snapped out of his reverie, looked down at the incense in his hand, and gave a soft "Mm".

Following Jiang Yiting's example, they offered incense and then returned to the open space in front of the hall for a short while.

Chen Bainian looked at the smoke rising from the incense burner before slowly speaking: "Actually, I didn't really believe in these things before. I always felt that things are up to people, and that one's destiny should be in one's own hands."

Jiang Yiting nodded, indicating her understanding; most young people growing up in the new era are like that.

She, too, offered incense today more as a matter of chance, a way of going with the flow, a way of adapting to local customs.

Moreover, someone like him, who can create the "HP System Optimization Solution," is a synonym for rationality, so it's perfectly normal for him not to believe it.

But Chen Bainian's next words made her heart tremble slightly.

He turned his head, his gaze falling on Jiang Yiting's face. His gaze was deep and complex, seemingly carrying a weight far beyond her imagination, but in the end it all turned into a focused tenderness.

"But now..." Chen Bainian paused, then continued, "I'm starting to believe. I believe in fate, in certain arrangements, and in the power of sincerity..."

He did not develop a specific belief in any particular religion, but rather, after experiencing dramatic changes in his life, he developed an unprecedented sense of awe towards the world, fate, and the wondrous connections between people.

This belief contains a vague sense of awe for the invisible hand behind rebirth.

He also cherishes and looks forward to the girl in front of him, who appeared at the beginning of his new life and brought countless warmth, vitality and possibilities.

Meeting her made him more willing to believe in the beauty of this world.

Chen Bainian's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strange penetrating power, striking straight into Jiang Yiting's heart without warning.
