"Your Highness, you can't judge a person by appearance. What everyone sees is what you want them to see. What I see is different from what they see. It's all because of your heart. You treat me differently and show me differently. The reason why I chose you is because I believe that you have the ability to protect yourself and me."

Rong Yunqiu's words made Chu Chenning start to re-examine himself and start to look at him again.

What Rong Yunlu said was indeed right. Not only was I different towards Rong Yunlu, but he himself was also different. When facing me, he was not as cold and heartless as others saw on the surface.

Now Rong Yunqiu was staring at her with a faint smile, and his originally cold and distant face now had a bit more worldly air.

Rong Yunqiu gently held Chu Chenning's hand. Her hand was a little cold. He lowered his eyes and wanted to use his hand to warm her palm.

Seeing that Chu Chenning didn't say anything, Rong Yunqi raised his eyes and looked at her, his eyes firm and gentle, "Your Highness, don't you understand my feelings? I don't regret it."

Their eyes met, Chu Chenning's was firm and ardent, she stared closely at the man in front of her, her peach blossom eyes sparkling, and then she gently kissed him on the forehead.

"I understand. I won't let this happen and I won't let you regret it."

Because he was worried about Rong Yunqiu's health, Chu Chenning did not stay in the pavilion on the top of the mountain for too long and went down with him.

When they arrived at the Qi'an Temple, they saw Feng Jun still chatting with the abbot. Chu Chenning looked at the ancient banyan tree in the center. The lush treetops were hung with red wish ribbons and the wooden plaques were heavy. She couldn't help but ask, "Have you made a wish in the Qi'an Temple?"

"Never."

Rong Yunqiu shook his head slightly. He was a person who did not believe in gods and Buddhas. However, in order to find Chen Zhining again, he ascended to the upper realm and knelt down before the gods and Buddhas for a long time in order to get this opportunity.

He lowered his eyes and continued, his voice low and powerful, "It's not that I don't believe these things, but compared to that, I believe in myself more. After all, everything depends on human effort."

"I heard from my father that many people have had their wishes come true after making a wish at the Qi'an Temple. This shows that the efficacy of the Qi'an Temple is well-known. Do you want to try it?" Chu Chenning looked at Rong Yunqiu again, and a smile flashed in his peach blossom eyes.

Rong Yunqi turned his head to look at Chu Chenning and asked, "Your Highness, do you believe this?"

Chu Chenning shook her head. She didn't believe it either.

"Then I'll give it a try. Your Highness, do you want to join me?" Rong Yunqiu smiled faintly, and without waiting for Chu Chenning's answer, he slowly walked towards the ancient banyan tree. The trunk of the old banyan tree was thick and mottled. Time had left traces on it, but it still stood tall.

Rong Yunqiu walked to the table under the banyan tree, and the monk gave him a red silk prayer cloth with a small wooden plaque underneath. The monk said: "The donor needs to write down his wish in his own handwriting and then hang it on the ginkgo tree himself, and then the wish will be successful."

Chu Chenning stood under the eaves and saw the young man in plain clothes holding the small wooden sign in his hand. He then spread the red silk on the table, rolled up his sleeves slightly, bent down slightly to pick up the brush, lowered his head and wrote his wish on the red silk ribbon with a serious expression.

May your Highness have all his wishes come true.

Putting down the brush, Rong Yunqiu looked up. On the huge ancient banyan tree, there were countless red ribbons fluttering in the wind. Small wooden signs were also crowded together, and their heavy weight weighed down the branches that were as thick as arms.

The midsummer sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the ribbons and wooden signs, which are filled with people's wishes and blessings.
