Why did he say he was willing to believe?

Combined with Chen Bainian's focused gaze at her, an indescribable surge of heat suddenly exploded from her heart, instantly sweeping through Jiang Yiting's limbs and bones, impacting her nerves, which were already more sensitive and fragile than usual due to her menstrual period.

A sharp, dull pain shot through her lower abdomen, causing her to groan involuntarily. Her face turned deathly pale, and her legs began to weaken.

"Tingting?" Chen Bainian immediately noticed something was wrong with her and stepped forward to support her arm. "What's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"

Jiang Yiting steadied herself with the support of his arm.

The effects of the sustained-release tablets I took in the morning were probably still lingering. The sudden discomfort, after the initial sharp pain, gradually subsided and turned into a persistent, tolerable dull ache.

She recovered slightly and glared at Chen Bainian.

But there was no blame in that look; instead, pain brought forth blurry tears, carrying an indescribable mix of shame, anger, and resentment: "It's all your fault—"

Chen Bainian was stunned for a moment, completely baffled by her sudden accusation: "Blame me? Blame me for what?"

Jiang Yiting looked at his bewildered and worried eyes, and the words "Who told you to look at me like that and say those things right after I prayed for a marriage match?" stuck in her throat, but she just couldn't say them.

Finally, all she could do was mutter under her breath, complaining again, "Anyway, it's all your fault—"

Chen Bainian was still somewhat confused, but seeing her discomfort, he assumed it was just a girl's mood swings during her period and didn't press further. He simply softened his voice: "Okay, it's my fault. Can we leave now? Shall we rest over there?"

As he spoke, Chen Bainian looked up and around, and saw a long corridor not far away where tourists could rest.

"Mmm," Jiang Yiting responded softly, "Much better."

He helped her to a dry spot by the corridor and sat her down. Chen Bainian put down his backpack and took out a thermos.

There was also half a pot of hot water that had been filled at noon at my grandparents' house in Longjing Village.

"Have some hot water. If you're really not feeling well, we'll head back early."

"I feel much better now. Actually, I've recovered quite a bit from that moment." Jiang Yiting sipped her hot water. "Besides, we agreed to go eat vegetarian noodles, and I'm a little hungry. Let's rest for a while, and after we eat the noodles, we'll have the energy to stroll back, okay?"

Hearing the deliberate ease and anticipation in her tone, and seeing that her complexion was indeed better than before, Chen Bainian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay."

The two sat quietly in the corridor for a few more minutes.

It wasn't until Jiang Yiting took the initiative to get up and gently move her hands and feet, revealing a relaxed smile, that Chen Bainian followed suit and got up.

The vegetarian noodle shop at Lingyin Temple is very famous, and even when it's almost closing time, there are still quite a few people there.

"Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll go queue up," Chen Bai said softly. "You go find a seat and wait for me."

Jiang Yiting didn't insist this time. After looking at the menu and ordering two side dishes, she found a corner seat and sat down.

When Chen Bainian occasionally turned around to look at her in the group, she would return a relaxed smile, indicating that she had indeed recovered.

Not long after, Chen Bainian returned carrying a large tray.

On top are two bowls of steaming hot vegetarian noodles, plus the two side dishes that Jiang Yiting just ordered.

The broth of the vegetarian noodles was clear, yet it exuded a rich aroma. According to the description, it was made from delicacies such as shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

"Be careful, it's hot." Chen Bainian gently placed a bowl of noodles in front of Jiang Yiting and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

"Thanks."

The two ate quietly, occasionally exchanging a word in hushed tones.

After finishing a bowl of soup noodles, Jiang Yiting's forehead was slightly sweaty, and her hands and feet warmed up.

"She's alive again—" She took another sip of soup, put down the bowl with satisfaction, and sighed softly.

Chen Bainian was relieved to see that her face had regained some of its former radiance.

After eating and drinking my fill, my body warmed up, and my mood brightened again.

After putting the dishes away at the recycling area, Jiang Yiting pulled Chen Bainian for a casual stroll around the temple, looking around and feeling the solemnity and tranquility of the ancient temple.

As Jiang Yiting walked along the corridor to the exit where the Buddhist artifacts were being sold, some exquisite little items in the display window instantly caught her eye.

"Little brother, shall we buy one of these?" Jiang Yiting pointed to a small item in the shop window, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Chen Bainian. "One for each of us, as a souvenir of our visit today, to keep us safe."

Chen Bainian looked in the direction she was pointing.

It was a pendant carefully strung together with red string, with a silver bead at the top connecting to a bright yellow crystal bead, a small red "福" (fortune) character plaque hanging below, and a dark Bodhi bead with natural patterns strung on top. At the very bottom, a red safety buckle carved with a dragon was hanging down.

Overall, it looks exquisite and festive, and contains auspicious meaning.

Chen Bainian glanced at it and felt a sense of liking for it. Meeting her expectant gaze, he nodded gently: "Okay."

As she paid, Jiang Yiting whispered, "These are for each other."

Chen Bainian understood, and simply chuckled softly.

After paying, the two walked out with the safety amulets they had bought for each other.

Standing under the eaves by the exit, Jiang Yiting took out her keychain from her small bag.

Then, I carefully fastened the safety buckle that still carried a trace of incense smoke onto it.

Jiang Yiting was quite satisfied as she gently twirled the safety buckle and the two keys beside it, making a crisp sound.

Then she looked at Chen Bainian, who was also imitating her, attaching the safety buckle to his keychain.

However, compared to the keychain in his hand, his keychain seemed rather lonely, currently only containing his 1201 key.

A thought quietly surfaced in Jiang Yiting's mind: it seemed like it was time to give him the key to her apartment 1202.

The idea didn't come out abruptly, nor did it cause much hesitation; it just happened naturally.

She pursed her lips, looked away, and simply held the keychain with the safety buckle attached in her hand.

"Let's go." Chen Bainian, who had also finished his work, naturally extended his hand to her. "It's time to go back."

After a day of rain, the clouds gradually dispersed, revealing an orange-red sky tinged with the glow of the setting sun.

The golden light shone down, illuminating the ancient temple's yellow walls and black tiles, as well as the verdant mountains and forests.

The setting sun after the rain cast a soft, warm light, unlike the scorching midday sun, elongating the shadows of the two people standing side by side.

The chanting from the temple gradually faded into the distance, birds chirped as they returned home, and the evening breeze rustled through the trees.
