   Chapter 238 Marriage Tree

   “Do you think he is Wu Song? Fighting tigers with fists.” Shen Yi put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it by sliding the lighter.

   “I’m the eighteenth generation of the Wu family.” Qu Shao flexed his elbow to show his muscles: “It’s okay to fight two tigers.”

   “Brother Qu is really amazing.”

   “You’re one more sentence away.”

   “Which sentence?” Chu Yuzhou put the cigarette between his fingers, and moved the wine bowl with the other hand to facilitate the waiter to serve the wine.

  Qu Shao: “I admire, admire!”

   His gesture of clasping his fists caused the two waiters to cast their gazes at the same time, wanting to laugh but embarrassed to laugh.

   “Don’t hold back.” Zhou Yan raised the corners of his lips deeply, and there was a pleasant smile in the compartment separated by the bead curtain.

   They scooped out the glutinous rice wine from the wine jar, and in a lively atmosphere, they raised their bowls to touch one.

  The wine spilled from the rim of the bowl dripped onto the table, covered with pale yellow shadows by the light of the oil lamp.

The sound of    the collision of dice and the music intertwined, the bead curtain swayed with the cold air, and the refracted light spots fell on the smiles of everyone.

   The smell of alcohol around him became stronger, and Pei Yilan, who was drunk, poured on Jiang Ye: “Jiang Ye, don’t shake it!”

   Jiang Ye, who didn’t move at all: “…”

   “I’ll ignore you if you shake it again.” She grabbed his ear fiercely: “Answer me.”

   “Answer what?”

   “I asked if you want to kiss me?”

   “Think.” Jiang Ye leaned over and touched those lips.

   He fed Pei Yilan two sips of warm water, and patted her back with his palm: “Are you sleepy? Let’s go upstairs to rest.”

   “Not sleepy.” She muttered, but she closed her eyes in his arms within a few breaths.

   Watching her gradually fall asleep, Lin Jiao, who was sitting across from her, yawned and was also swept up in sleepiness.

   She looked sideways at Pei Zhi: “What time is it?”

   “1.15.” Seeing that they were almost done drinking, Pei Zhi put down the wine bowl and led her out.

  The smell of alcohol dissipated as they left, but the chatter and laughter drifted from the tavern to the top floor.

  The doors of the rooms are closed, and the bright moon replaces the voice-activated corridor lights and spreads to the corridor, adding one of the few lights to the quiet night.

  The environment that is quiet enough is very easy to attract a dream.

  When the lights went out one by one, the thick ink-like night sky enveloped the villa, making the whole land fall into a deep sleep.

  The first ray of sunshine, under the urging of time, spreads through the clouds to the mountains and forests, urging the singing of insects and birds to open a new chapter.

   Lin Jiao, who heard the song “SweetSensation” again, knew that Chu Yuzhou had already woken up.

   Holding the toothbrush and walking to the balcony, she saw Chu Yuzhou stretched out: “Is this song the only one on your playlist?”

   “How is that possible?” He hummed along and swiped the playlist on the screen: “What do you want to listen to? I’ll play it for you.”

   “Parisin the Rain.”

   “Paris in the rain?”

  Lin Jiao raised her lips: “Well.” She went into the bathroom to rinse her mouth, and then came out with Pei Zhi: “Husband, have you heard of it?”

   “I heard it.” Pei Zhi wrapped his arms around her soft waist from behind, his chin resting on the top of her hair.

   They looked at the rolling peaks, listened to the gentle male voice, and enjoyed a peaceful moment.

  Chu Yuzhou next door followed suit, hugging Tang Ni, who had changed his clothes, and enjoying the scenery in the distance.

   When the last lyric fell, he held up his blushing face and kissed her in the warm sunshine.

   “They’re still there.” Tang Ni’s eyes shone with water, and she leaned against his chest shyly.

  Chu Yuzhou wanted to bully her even more.

   He leaned against her close to the railing, his voice hoarse between his lips and teeth: “Nini don’t want to kiss me?”

   “No…no not wanting to.”

   “Then close your eyes.”

   “I was throwing dog food early in the morning.” Qu Shao admired their kiss with a cigarette in his mouth, and did not forget to take a photo as a souvenir.

   He suddenly made a sound, and the startled Tang Ni hid in Chu Yuzhou’s arms before she could catch her breath.

   “I can sprinkle some more if you want.” Chu Yuzhou turned off the music that was still playing, and a shy smile flashed in his eyes.

   “I don’t have that hobby.” Qu Shao sent him the photo and put out the cigarette that burned to the end.

   He packed up and walked out, meeting at the elevator entrance with Shen Yi and the others who went out one after another, and slowly went downstairs for breakfast.

   “How do we go up the mountain?” Qian Yue scooped a spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge into her mouth, savoring the salty aroma.

   “Walk.”

   “How long will it take?”

   “About half an hour.” Qu Shao finished eating a piece of shaomai and looked down: “You are not wearing high heels, are you?”

   “No.” After the last mountain expedition, when they came to the mountain again, they didn’t even wear skirts.

  Lin Jiao put down the bowls and chopsticks when she was half full.

   She asked the waiter for a bottle of toilet water and sprayed it on their exposed skin to avoid mosquito bites after going up the mountain.

   “Fortunately, I didn’t wear perfume.” Pei Yilan couldn’t imagine how sour and refreshing the two flavors would be.

   She grabbed Jiang Ye and smelled him, followed in their footsteps, and took a sightseeing bus to the foot of the back mountain.

  The way up the mountain is not difficult. The stairs made of stone slabs lead to the temple. Halfway through, you can see the appearance of the temple.

  The air in the mountains is fresh, and the flapping birds play on the branches of the trees, accompanying them all the way up.

   “Are you tired?” Pei Zhi took Lin Jiao to the last step and stopped directly opposite the temple.

   “Not tired.” She lowered her eyelashes and squatted down to tie the slightly loose shoelaces for him: “It’s fine to walk for another half an hour.”

   “Physical strength is so good?”

“certainly.”

   Pei Zhi rubbed the top of her hair, and her fingertips landed on her cheeks along the way she got up.

   “I don’t believe it.” He covered her ear, and his thin lips brushed against her smooth skin: “Unless you prove it to me tonight.”

  Lin Jiao met those long and narrow eyes, and caught the unexplainable meaning from the bottom of his eyes.

   She suddenly reacted, and pinched his white fingers on his waist: “Don’t even think about it.”

   “Hurry up.” Qu Shao, who stepped over the threshold of the temple with one foot, turned his head and called to them.

   After his interruption, Pei Zhi stopped teasing the ‘kitten’ who was about to fry, and walked into the temple slowly.

  The temple is small, but the incense is flourishing.

   They took out the cash they had prepared in advance, put it into the merit box at the door, and each received three pillars of fragrance.

   After worshiping the three Buddha statues, Qu Shao and Shen Yi went to the master in the temple to ask for a lottery, and the remaining four couples went to the backyard.

  The location of the marriage tree is particularly eye-catching.

   Under the shade of greenery, countless wooden signs tied with red silk hang on the branches and float with the breeze.

   There were not many pilgrims coming over at this time. They took a wooden sign from the meditator and leaned on the table to write their names.

   “How to hang this?” Chu Yuzhou’s eyes were around the marriage tree, but he couldn’t find the herringbone ladder.

   Zhou Yanshen raised the red ribbon: “Simple.” He then squatted down in front of Qian Yue: “Yuebao, sit on my shoulders.”

   “Okay.” Qian Yue put her right leg on his shoulder, found a balance point and lifted the other leg: “Don’t worry, stand up slowly.”
