I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The two of them became silent for the rest of the journey.

Zhuo Yao took Bai Zhi to a courtyard on the outskirts of Cangzhou City. The courtyard here was solemn, quiet, clean and tidy, but not simple.

The courtyard was deserted, with only a few people.

"Where is this?" Bai Zhi asked.

"My home." Zhuo Yao answered briefly and neatly.

Bai Zhi really wanted to roll her eyes at him, "Okay, it's great to have a house everywhere."

Zhuo Yao ignored Bai Zhi's complaints and went directly to the topic, "What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat everything. I want all the wine and food! Come up here!" When Bai Zhi was hungry on the way to escape, she kept thinking about this bite, wishing she could enjoy all the glory in the world.

"Would you like a beauty singing and dancing?" Zhuo Yao joked.

"Yes, yes! It would be even better if there is a handsome guy!" Bai Zhi said jokingly.

The corners of Zhuo Yao's mouth twitched, "What a beautiful thought!"

Not long after Zhuo Yao made arrangements, he bought fine wines and delicacies one after another.

Bai Zhi's mouth watered when she saw it.

She couldn't wait to eat it. The taste was so good that she wanted to cry.

While eating, he muttered, "Zhuo Yao, try this quickly, this is delicious..."

Zhuo Yao simply didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He obediently took every dish she brought to him with his bowl, and ate every bite seriously.

Bai Zhi was so in love with the delicacies of Yu Sheng that she ate the whole meal with a smile on her face.

The smile permeated the entire room, giving this huge mansion with no permanent residents a bit of a homey feel.

In late autumn and near winter, there is no charcoal fire in the house, but it is warm and cozy.

Bai Zhi finished eating and rubbed her belly, feeling satisfied. But when she looked at the large table of dishes left, she felt inexplicably a waste.

She said angrily: "You have big eyes and a small belly! If you order so much, can you finish it?"

"Are you scolding yourself?" Zhuo Yao echoed her.

"Yes! But not entirely, I still scolded you! Why didn't you stop me? Why didn't you help me eat some? What a waste!"

Zhuo Yao cursed secretly, it was simply unreasonable!

But he said another sentence, "It's okay, you can just eat if you like..."

"do not move."

Bai Zhi suddenly made a sound, stepped forward, reached out and stroked a strand of hair beside Zhuo Yao's ear, her warm fingertips passed through the hair and lightly touched Zhuo Yao's cold ear.

With a slight touch of water from his fingertips, Zhuo Yao suddenly felt so excited that he even forgot to breathe.

"Why are there still spider webs?" Bai Zhi twisted the spider web on her fingertips. After twisting it several times, the spider web fell off Bai Zhi's fingertips.

It turned out to be a spider web. Zhuo Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to pick up the chopsticks and stuffed food into his mouth silently.

But Zhuo Yao's mouth was blocked with food, but he couldn't suppress his throbbing heart.

He glanced sideways at Bai Zhi, who was stretching out on the chair and letting his thoughts go. This kind of leisurely posture was something he had never seen before.

Like a raccoon slave lazily basking in the sun one afternoon, he turned around, hunched over and stretched slowly while bathing in the sunshine.

Just thinking about it, Zhuo Yao could inexplicably think of the way she got up in the morning, the way she curled up in his arms at night, the way she snuggled against his shoulder, rubbing her head against his...

The more I think about it, the more sour I feel...

Zhuo Yao looked away in despair, poured a glass of wine to himself, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Why are you drinking alone? You won't pour it for me!" Bai Zhi suddenly sat up straight and said angrily.

Zhuo Yao was unhappy, "You can't drink!"

"Why??"

"No reason!"

Bai Zhi refused, "Why can you drink it but I can't?"

"You are a woman." Zhuo Yao drank another drink.

Bai Zhi's expression was extremely rich at the moment, "Women can't drink? You are so! You're so mad at me!"

"Aren't you pregnant?" Zhuo Yao laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I..." Bai Zhi suddenly wanted to say something bad, but held it back.

She turned her head away angrily, feeling angry, but then she calmed down.

Bai Zhi sighed, "Zhuo Yao, I apologize to you for taking advantage of you."

Zhuo Yao: "..."

"I know this is not the first time. Every time I use you and your power to protect myself. I owe you a lot. I can do a few things for you, as long as it doesn't violate my conscience..."

"I don't care if you take advantage of me! I don't need anything in return from you!" Zhuo Yao suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the table, causing all the dishes on the table to bounce with a loud bang.

"But...can't it be true for once?" Zhuo Yao held his forehead weakly and blocked his face with his arms. He didn't want Bai Zhi to see his distorted face.

Bai Zhi was speechless and lowered her head.

For a moment, the only silence in the room was the heavy breathing of the two of them.

Sure enough, the most difficult thing in the world to repay is a debt of gratitude.

Bai Zhi gradually returned to reality from that illusory escape. She originally thought that as long as she came back, she would be rescued.

But she ignored that there was not a place for her everywhere in this world.

She missed Meng Ying very much.

When she thought of him, tears welled up uncontrollably. The tears blurred her eyes. She couldn't even see the patterns on her clothes. She could only see the tears soaking her clothes drop by drop.

After enduring it for a long time, until the mucus was about to flow out of her nose, she took a sharp breath.

Only then did Zhuo Yao notice that she was crying, and he panicked for a moment, "You, you, you... don't cry..."

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have told you, please don't cry, okay?" Zhuo Yao squatted beside her legs to comfort her.

Bai Zhi covered her face and made a muffled voice, "I want to take a bath... have a good sleep... I want to go back to Chenjing..."

Zhuo Yao quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, take a bath, sleep, return to Chenjing, it's all up to you..."

The few servants were very busy and arranged everything for Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi lay in the hot water. Her body felt comfortable, but she felt indescribably uncomfortable.

But she doesn't like to abuse herself. This fragrant hot bath must not be wasted, and this soft and comfortable big bed must not be let down.

After taking a bath, she put on silky clothes, lit the incense burner, buried her face in the quilt, and felt all this greedily.

If you owe someone a debt, you still have to pay it back even if it is difficult.

You must be able to get through it, nothing is impossible. When you wake up tomorrow, just grit your teeth and pay off your debt.

Just like that, Bai Zhi fell asleep with peace of mind.

Zhuo Yao sat outside Bai Zhi's room for a long time. After the lights went out, he waited until Bai Zhi's breathing calmed down before leaving.

Instead of going to sleep, he carried two jars of wine, climbed to the roof, and drank alone in front of the moon.

Bai Zhi originally thought that she would sleep until dawn, and then rush back to Chenjing in the best mood.

But she forgot that the time bomb buried in her body would eventually explode.

Midnight at midnight.

Bai Zhi was awakened by a nightmare.

When I woke up, I was sweating profusely, and the familiar pain had spread all over my body.

How to do?How to do?

Bai Zhi rolled out of the bed, making two thuds and letting out a wail.

She used all her strength to get up and staggered out of the door.

No one usually lives in this courtyard, so no one keeps watch at night, and the courtyard is extremely dark.

Bai Zhi's bare feet stepped on the dewy ground, but she couldn't feel a trace of coldness, only the burning pain in her body was screaming crazily.

The night was so dark, quiet and terrifying that Bai Zhi didn't know what to do. She cried and ran, constantly searching for someone who could save her in the dark night.

"Zhuo Yao...Zhuo Yao...where are you..."

Going around in circles, Bai Zhi didn't know if she was walking in circles. In short, she was lost.

She couldn't stand the pain in her body anymore, so she rolled to the ground and screamed heartbreakingly.

Zhuo Yao was about to close his eyes and take a nap when he heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

He hurried over with a tap of his toes. Before he saw anyone, he heard the sound coming from the cold autumn wind.

"Zhuo Yao...save me...save me..."

"Don't leave me...alone..."

Zhuo Yao's heart shattered into glass shards with a click.
