Chapter 503 - Love me (2)
Yan Shengqian's expression slowly dimmed. She turned her head to the side to blankly look at him. ”Do you know what marrying someone means?”
”Of course.” Ning Jinchen lowered his eyes. ”It's getting onto a bridal sedan and becoming someone's wife.”
Qian-er smiled, but there were tears in her eyes. ”Huh, you really do know what its means. Do you also know that once I marry someone else, I won't be able to keep you company anymore?”
Ning Jinchen froze in surprise. His hand stiffened around the rosary necklace. A long time later, he unfroze. ”This day would happen sooner or later. Fortunately, I didn't waste your time.”
The words echoed in Qian-er's mind. She laughed to the point that she was bent over at the waist. Tears plopped downwards too. ”What does Buddha say?”
Ning Jinchen closed his eyes again and quietly said, ”Idealism, fulfill one's desire, forget yourself.”
”Why won't you listen to Buddha's words then?” Qian-er wiped her tears and looked up at him. ”Don't you like Buddha the most?”
”How am I not listening?” Ning Jinchen slightly smiled. ”Everything that Buddha has said, I remember it all in my heart and follow them.”
Qian-er giggled. Her smile looked worse than when she had been crying. ”Repeat after me.”
”Hmm?” Ning Jinchen blinked.
She took a deep breath and straightened up to look at him. ”Buddha said.”
”... Buddha said,” he repeated.
”Idealism.” She took a step towards him.
”... Idealism.”
”Fulfill one's desires.” She took another step.
”... fulfill one's desires.”
”Love me.” On the third step, she stopped in front of him. Her eyes were directly looking at him.
”... Love...” Ning Jinchen furrowed his brow. ”The last words are forget yourself.”
”I don't care, love me!” Yan Shengqian stubbornly stared at him. ”I listened to your recite Buddhist scriptures for six years. How could I be wrong?”
Ning Jinchen was shocked. An unclear emotion quivered in his heart, but in the end, he only calmly said, ”Amitabha.”
Qian-er wished that she could have been slightly more mature and not cry in front of him so frequently. And yet, she could never resist becoming a crying mess in front of him. ”You stupid monk. You've been reading Buddhist scriptures for so long, but you don't understand what Buddha is saying. You should follow your heart. Your feelings are the most important thing, but you still value practicing Buddhism as if that’s the most important thing!
Ning Jinchen pursed his lips. He thought; this was probably his tribulation. It would be fine once it passed.
”In three days, the bridal sedan will come,” Qian-er said with reddened eyes. ”I don't want to get married!”
”You're engaged. How can you not get married?” He stood up, brushed off a leaf from his body, and turned to leave.
”I don’t want this engagement. If you're willing to take me away, I'll go with you.” Qian-er looked at his back figure with a heated gaze. ”Even if you want to recite Buddhist scriptures for the rest of your life, I'll still follow you. Forever!”
How absurd.
Did emotions lead everyone in the mortal word to act so absurd? Ning Jinchen smiled. He calculated the time. He should be rushing back to the marquis's estate now.
