457: Chapter 450: Night Visit to the Nun’s Room 457: Chapter 450: Night Visit to the Nun’s Room Master Jingchen was probably in her late fifties.
Originally, she used to call Chen Hai “Benefactor” every ti she addressed him.
But now, seeing Chen Hai with a shaved head and wearing a gray monk robe he had sohow acquired, she felt that calling him a benefactor didn’t quite fit anymore.
After trying to reason with Chen Hai for a long ti to no avail, her expression darkened, “Young man, I have already relayed your ssage to Jingxin.”
“It’s not that I’m making it difficult for you, but she simply doesn’t want to see you!”
“Buddhism is a place of serenity; if you don’t leave and continue causing trouble, don’t bla for taking extre asures!”
Perhaps feeling that Chen Hai didn’t understand what she ant by “extre asures,” she hesitated before explaining, “Take a look around.
With you dressed like that and coming to our Tianning Temple, many tourists’ cellphones and caras are already pointed this way.”
“If I were to shout out so accusations of impropriety here, just think about what would happen to you…”
It must be said, Master Jingchen’s threat was quite ruthless!
Even Chen Hai was left speechless and a bit frightened after hearing her explanation.
“All that talk about Buddhism being a place of serenity, and here you are, a nun, not acting with any integrity!”
“And shouting about impropriety?
Aren’t you nuns supposed to live on alms and recite scriptures?
Where did you learn all these absurd tricks!”
Staring at Master Jingchen for a good while, it took so ti for Chen Hai to force out these words.
As he spoke, he imdiately earned a disdainful roll of the eyes from Jingchen.
She pulled out a cellphone from her pocket—the sa model as Chen Hai’s, one that cost over ten thousand yuan.
“Living in the temple, I deal with tourists every day; I have to keep up with the tis,” Master Jingchen added.
“There are plenty of jokes about such things on Douyin.
Just shouting a few accusations of impropriety is easy; why would I even need to learn that?”
“Let ask you one last ti, are you leaving or not?”
While saying this, she intentionally tried to bridge the gap between them, perhaps preparing for her next move!
“You’re tough, I’ll give you that.
Fine, you want to leave?
I’ll leave then.
I’ll co back when nobody’s around…”
Murmuring a few words and leaving these behind, Chen Hai retreated as if fleeing from a scorpion.
He exited the great hall and vanished in a flash.
…
The sky was dotted with stars, the round moon hanging high.
Surrounded by pale lamps and ancient Buddhas, the wooden fish kept her company.
During her days in Tianning Temple, Ye Qingqing felt her heart, still not perfectly tranquil like a still well, had at least cald a bit.
Before, whenever she would relax, Chen Hai’s image would uncontrollably appear in her mind.
But now, while chanting scriptures and striking the wooden fish, her mood remained fairly calm, no longer drifting into nostalgia about her monts with Chen Hai.
At most, she would dream about Chen Hai frequently.
Compared to before, her condition had improved significantly.
Ye Qingqing estimated that in another decade or two of sounding the wooden fish, Chen Hai’s shadow might finally be erased from her heart.
But today, her heart, which had just quieted a bit, was disorderly again…
“How did he know to find becoming a nun here at Tianning Temple?”
“Does he already know that things between Li Feng and I are not harmonious?”
“Seeing that note I sent him through Jingchen, I wonder what his reaction will be…”
…
After sounding the wooden fish in the scripture hall for a longer ti, Ye Qingqing still felt turmoil inside and couldn’t calm down for a long ti.
In Tianning Temple, her identity was sowhat special.
After all, she had donated a large amount of money when she ca here to beco a nun!
To ensure peace, she had even promised to donate annually to the temple.
Given these circumstances, her status within the temple was naturally self-evident.
There wasn’t a hint of a breeze, and in the July and August weather, it was still extrely hot even at night.
After finishing with the wooden fish, she washed herself and returned to her own room, and by then it was already past eleven at night.
Her room was incredibly simple—an ordinary wooden bed, a wardrobe, and a chair.
Ye Qingqing had co to Tianning Temple to beco a nun, not to enjoy life but to truly sever worldly ties.
In her own room, so long as there was a bed to accommodate her, that was already enough.
Moonlight stread through the window grilles and into the room.
Although the scene inside the room was sowhat hazy, she could still make out the details rather clearly!
Too lazy to turn on the lights and having just washed up, she, wearing rather light clothes, draped the monk robe over the chair beside the bed and imdiately lay down.
The next mont, just as she had lain down, her expression changed suddenly, and she leapt up.
Because the mont she laid down, she had felt a smooth, slightly warm head.
“Who…”
Perhaps she thought it was a fellow nun from the sa temple who had accidentally entered the wrong room and ended up in her bed.
Though she felt sothing was off, she didn’t shout loudly but only asked in a soft voice.
However, the next mont, a large hand had already covered her mouth.
“Don’t scream, Qingqing, it’s , Chen Hai…”
Panicking and about to struggle desperately, Ye Qingqing quieted down when she heard those words by her ear.
With the help of the moonlight, she clearly saw the figure covering her mouth and speaking to her.
“People sneak up on widows at night, but look at you, sneaking into a nun’s room in the middle of the night.
What are you thinking?”
Chen Hai had just released his large hand from her mouth when Ye Qingqing glared at him fiercely and complained.
“What else could I do?
Knowing you beca a nun, I haven’t been able to eat or sleep well.
I just wanted to co and see what’s going on.”
“I ca to find you during the day, and you even handed a note saying our mortal ties had ended and we wouldn’t et again!”
“Do you think I, Chen Hai, would give up so easily?
If I can’t see you during the day, then I can only sneak in at night.”
“Climbing into a nun’s room in the middle of the night?
Ordinary n can’t, but monks should be able to.”
“Look, to legitimately sneak into your room, I even shaved my head and got a monk robe to wear…”
As Chen Hai said this, he deliberately waved his bald head and the monk robe in front of Ye Qingqing.
“With your character, even if you really beca a monk, you’d be a lecherous one!”
“I told you that we shouldn’t et again, and you even agreed, yet you’re still crawling into my bed.
You’re clearly not letting have any peace!”
Staring angrily at Chen Hai, Ye Qingqing protested.
“I agreed to never seeing you again because you said you were doing very well!”
“But now, if you were really doing well, would you beco a nun?”
“Your words were just deceiving .
You still love , and I’m still the only one in your heart, right?”
Facing Ye Qingqing, Chen Hai questioned.
“I chant scriptures and worship Buddha, isn’t that renouncing worldly life for cultivation?” Ye Qingqing responded.
Her eyes seed a bit evasive; as she said this, she dared not et Chen Hai’s gaze directly.
“See, you’re lying to again.”
“Whether you love or not, we can find out right now!”
Originally sitting on the bed, Chen Hai flipped over, pinning Ye Qingqing beneath him, then leaned in and kissed her, blocking her lips.
In marital relationships, quarrels at the head of the bed are reconciled at the foot of the bed, as the ancient saying goes, and it makes a lot of sense!
Chen Hai couldn’t articulate profound speeches.
To him, bodily reactions were sothing that couldn’t lie!
With this kiss, whether Ye Qingqing still had feelings for him would naturally be clear.
When Chen Hai first kissed her, Ye Qingqing’s fists beat against his chest repeatedly.
But as she hit him, her hands, unwittingly, found themselves hanging around Chen Hai’s neck.
