"Hey... getting married at such a young age? You're so lucky!"

"It has to be a married couple... I understand, thank you..."

Jiang Wanfeng gave an awkward laugh, packed the flour into her small bag, and

"Corn flour, corn flour..."

"Red beans, salted egg yolk..."

She searched the streets for a long time, but being somewhat directionally challenged, she still couldn't find the vendors selling these items.

Actually, it could be made simpler... because Lin Mo said he would eat it.

But Jiang Wanfeng didn't want to do that. He didn't want to be so perfunctory. He wanted it to be made to his liking, to be delicious, very delicious!

Even if she has no experience in dating, a wife should be able to cook meals that bring happiness to her husband—that's what books always say, right...?

Wife...Husband

Looking back, I noticed that many people in the market were carrying purses.

They had all sorts of types, but those few pouches with the "May you have a long and happy marriage" designation stood out the most.

"What are you thinking about..."

Jiang Wanfeng flicked herself on the forehead, her tone tinged with disappointment.

"Lin Mo can't get this either... he's still too young."

"Hurry up and buy everything, we need to go back and make mooncakes!"

...

"Ah, today's vegetarian meal is still mooncakes~"

Chen Yajie tried to divert their attention away from the purse.

"They all seem to be filled with red bean paste~" Hu Yu'en also struggled to look away from where the purses were being handed out.

"Hmm, the mooncakes from temples probably don't have any additives, right?"

"It must taste delicious!"

"You agree, right, Qingran?"

"Qingran?"

Chen Yajie tugged at Li Qingran's hand, but the aloof girl remained unmoved.

Li Qingran stared intently at the couples passing by.

Go into that room, and come out with a big smile, carrying a small purse, as if filled with endless happiness.

May you have a long and happy marriage.

Li Qingran knew the meaning of this idiom.

"Qingran~ Let's go, let's go try some mooncakes, grab a few to eat as we walk, and then we'll go explore other places..."

Chen Yajie almost pleaded, though to outsiders her voice still sounded sweet, like she was being coquettish.

But Li Qingran could detect a hint of pleading in the girl's voice.

This is the vigilance of someone of the same kind.

She paused, confused as to why Ya Jie would act this way.

He had no choice but to let her lead him by the hand, towards the less-than-happy dining hall where mooncakes were being distributed.

"Hehe~ I've already got it!"

Hu Yu'en came over carrying a small bag of mooncakes. "Besides red bean paste, we also have lotus seed paste. You two should try them. You can take more of whichever one you want later."

"Okay." Chen Yajie took one with red bean paste filling and one with lotus seed paste filling, broke them both in half so that she and Li Qingran could taste different flavors.

"Here, Qingran, have a taste."

Each of them took a small bite.

"I think the red bean paste one tastes better, Qingran, what do you think?"

"I..."

Li Qingran took a small bite, savoring the subtle sweetness of the mooncake melting on her tongue.

When your mind is preoccupied with other things, even the most delicious food won't taste good.

This is what Lin Mo once told her.

The mooncakes these days don't taste good either.

"Purse."

The girl answered in this way.

"Haha...the purse isn't for eating, it's a mooncake..." Chen Yajie hurriedly explained.

"Which do you prefer, red bean paste or lotus seed paste?"

"Ya Jie, you like purses." Li Qingran looked straight into Chen Ya Jie's eyes without glancing to the side.

"I...I didn't. I'll just ask for a lucky charm when I come back later..."

Chen Yajie avoided eye contact as she explained, picking up the mooncake in her hand and then putting it down again.

Seeing this, Hu Yu'en quickly came to the rescue.

"Qingran, do you want that purse? I'll go get one. A purse for peace? Or a purse for reunion...?"

“Yu’en likes it too.” Li Qingran shifted her gaze to her.

"Huh?" Hu Yu'en seemed to be under a spell. How did this get involved? She certainly wouldn't dare to have that kind of...

There is that kind of expectation.

"A safe and secure purse? No one would dislike that, right...? Well, actually..."

"May you live a long and happy life together," Li Qingran said calmly.

He said something that Chen Yajie desperately didn't want to mention.

It's impossible to hide it from them, and it's impossible to pretend to be oblivious forever. Seeing other loving couples walking by carrying their purses is an uncontrollable source of envy.

But why did Qingran mention the class monitor...?

"Class monitor, you too..."

Chen Yajie was moved by Li Qingran's words, and putting herself in Li Qingran's shoes, she realized that Li Qingran had exposed her hidden desires.

Subconsciously, and reasonably, one could assume that Li Qingran also saw someone similar to her in the class monitor's eyes...

For a moment, Chen Yajie was terrified. Even someone like the class monitor could treat Lin...

"Hu Yu'en, didn't you want to ask for a blessing for your parents?"

At this moment, Lin Mo, who was anxiously waiting in the back, realized that he couldn't delay any longer and stepped into the girls' encirclement.

"I...yes, my parents had a fight, but I didn't expect they had to come in person to collect the marriage charm, haha..."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it then~" Hu Yu'en took Chen Yajie and Li Qingran's hands again, but didn't know what to say.

"Walk a little further in, there's that marriage tree," Lin Mo read aloud like a narrator.

"If you can't take the purse, you can go to the marriage tree and hang a red string for your parents."

This sentence drew the attention of several girls.

"Where is that?" Chen Yajie asked.

When Jiebao regained her ability to organize her thoughts, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She thought, "So the class monitor isn't like that after all..." She was terrified. Qingran was too direct! Even if she figured it out, she shouldn't have said it. She'd cry; she herself was too ashamed to admit it...

How could I possibly admit it?

"Come in a bit, you can go ahead first, take the mooncakes and eat them."

"and you..."

"I'm a little hungry. I'll eat here for a while. You guys go ahead. I'll text you when I get there."

"Let's go then~ That's why I came here, will you stay with me~" The fox used her signature coquettish skills, pleading pitifully.

"Qingran, let's go, let's go~"

"..."

Li Qingran kept her eyes on Lin Mo the whole time, even when Hu Yu'en pulled her away and she stumbled to the side, she still glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Lin Mo will definitely give her what she wants.

But when she looked at him now, she was only asking what she wanted, something that seemed to be liked by other girls as well.

Why? Because they want it too.

And why are you afraid to say it?

Lin Mo, why did you lie?

...

As the girls walked away, Lin Mo was filled with utter despair, utterly frustrated.

I never expected that after just a short stroll through the temple, I would almost be involved in a major scandal.

However, things have become clearer to some extent.

Jiebao has no choice but to continue lying for now; his relationship with Li Qingran is becoming increasingly difficult to conceal from her.

Unless she's given a shocking revelation, she'll find herself in a conflicted and bittersweet predicament, similar to unrequited love, lacking the confidence to face it.

Hu Yu'en underestimated herself and lacked confidence.

Lin Mo had to take the purse.

I first asked the monk who was distributing the purses, and it was confirmed that one person couldn't take them all, let alone take a bunch...

Fortunately, he has the financial means.

They would smile obsequiously at any young couple they caught.

"Hello, hello, may you have a long and happy marriage! Do you sell this purse? I'll pay for it."

"Are you crazy? Where did this child come from? How can you sell something like this..."

"One hundred dollars?"

"this..."

"How about three hundred yuan? There are marriage trees on the mountain. With this money, you can buy a few more red strings. The effect will be the same, right?"

...

There were fewer bills in my pocket, but many more purses.

Is love ultimately no match for the allure of pure gold?

Fortunately, he bought love with money, a pure-blooded warrior of pure love.

Right now, he's messaging the girls... saying he's coming over...

But he didn't say it was a mass message.

Of course, they'll be distributed one by one, separately, so everyone gets a share...

Chapter 80 Love Divided into Four Parts (2)

In October, the small towns of the south retain the warmth of summer while bridging to the coolness of autumn.

The three women stood on high ground, looking down. The area under the rows of fringe trees was crowded with people, but fortunately the trees were tall enough that it didn't feel too crowded.

The red rope with bells tied to the tree jingled and danced in the wind and with the laughter of people.

“There are so many people…”

Chen Yajie is not a devout believer, but she has always held gods and bodhisattvas in high esteem.
