Chapter 155 - Meeting At The Lake (1/2)

He seemed to recall something. The bodhisattva seemed to have asked him to marry Miss Liu. However, the girl of the Liu Family…was said to have mental problems. She had tried to commit suicide without rhyme or reason. She also mistreated her servants by either hitting them or scolding them. Her temper was worse and she did not know how to respect her elders.

They were all told this by Bai Qi. When Bai Qi had heard that he was going to marry Miss Liu, he tried very hard to persuade him to drop the idea.

Was Avalokiteśvara telling the truth?

Was the dream true?

Jia Zhenbo lifted himself out of bed and suddenly spotted something. A petal under his bed? Was this…a lotus petal? Was this left by Avalokiteśvara?

It certainly is!

It turned out that Avalokiteśvara’s lotus seat was made with fresh flowers. He found that he had been so ill-informed before.

Jia Zhenbo remembered the bodhisattva’s instruction. She had asked him to go to the lotus pond outside of the town where he would meet the girl of his destiny.

Will Liu Qianqian be there?

…

Jia Zhenbo did not mention his dream to a soul. After getting up, he just freshened up peacefully as usual and went out after lunch.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoxian and Liu Qianqian were appreciating the flowers at the lotus pond. Despite the hot weather, the lotus flowers were blooming beautifully here outside of the town, which had attracted many scholars and young girls. Some could paint, so they came here to sketch among nature’s surroundings.

Liu Qianqian asked Ye Xiaoxian, “Will Jia Zhenbo surely make it today?”

“Of course he will. Why should I lie to you? It’s so hot today. Do you think I want to be outside? I’m doing this all for your benefit, aren’t I?”

Liu Qianqian was rather touched. “You’re the best. By the way, how did you get him to come?”

Ye Xiaoxian then told Liu Qianqian every single detail from the night before.
