During the Qixi Festival, there are many people worshiping Zhinu and Kuixing, so the government simply set up two adjacent halls in the Town God's Temple, with Kuixing on the left and Zhinu on the right, for people to visit and pray for blessings.

Outside the Town God's Temple, there are also many speculative hawkers setting up stalls to sell things. Unlike the streets full of lanterns, here are mostly ingenious gadgets, such as masks, needlework, small accessories, and so on. Mostly young people.

Gu Yunji and his group walked straight to the main hall, and just outside the hall, they saw that the crowd was clearly separated.

The young men praying for fame and fame worship Kuixing to the left, and the young women who wish for marriage worship the Weaver Girl to the right. The boys on the left are full of vigor in twos and threes, and the girls on the right are all youthful in groups, looking orderly and harmonious.

Su Qi was about to walk up the steps, when he saw Xu Chengyu stopped and didn't follow, he asked, "Won't the head of the mountain worship Kuixing with us?"

Xu Chengyu waved his hand: "I worship Kuixing to ask the gods to bless the high school. I don't need to take the imperial examination at my age. I'd better just hang out outside. You guys go."

After speaking, he turned to Xu Shuhua again: "Shuhua, since you are here, you also go to pay homage to Zhinu."

Xu Shuhua responded and said: "Then you just wait here, I will come out in a while." Seeing Xu Chengyu nodding, she turned and walked towards the Weaver Girl Hall.Gu Yunji and the others stopped dawdling, and walked to the Kuixing Hall on the other side.

In the Kuixing Hall, several young men dressed as scholars were already kneeling on the futon in front of the statue, all of them lowered their heads, muttering words, and looked very devout.

Gu Yunji has never been very concerned about ghosts and gods, the reason why he is so anxious to drag Su Qi to worship Kuixing is also to break the ambiguous atmosphere when eating Qiaoqiao meal.At this moment, imitating others, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times hastily, then he was done worshiping.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard Su Qi say: "Yunji, why don't you prostrate for a while? If you are so perfunctory, Kuixing will think you are insincere. You should be like us." Then, he put his hands together and bowed down again .

Gu Yunji turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Su Qi and Cheng Yan standing upright, kneeling very upright on the futon.Hearing this, he smiled: "In matters like scientific research, you still have to rely on your own ability. Praying to God and worshiping Buddha is just to find peace of mind, just look good."

"That's not necessarily true, the Weaving Girl Hall is next door." Su Qi cast a narrow look, "Didn't you hear the hawker who sells Qiaoqiao rice? Miss Xu will marry a high school gold medalist in the future. You are not sincere. How will Kuixing fulfill your wish? If you don’t win, even the Weaver Girl next door won’t be able to fulfill Miss Xu’s wish!”

"What are you talking about!" Gu Yunji felt that they were going too far, and he had to make fun of them whenever he got the chance.But when Su Qi said this, he couldn't help but start to imagine: what kind of wish would Xu Shuhua next door make?

Suddenly returning to his senses, he saw that the smiles in Su Qi and Cheng Yan's eyes could not be hidden, Gu Yunji blushed, he shook his head, suppressed the little thought in his heart, and said with some guilt: "You can worship yourself , I'm going out first!"

At this moment, the sunset glow in the sky has faded completely, and the night is gradually sinking. The lanterns in the distance light up a little stream of light, covering the smiling faces in the crowd with a layer of softness in the dark, which looks colorful.

When Gu Yunji walked out of the hall, the sweltering heat in the hall just now was blown away by the cool night wind, making him feel relaxed all over.There were people coming and going at the door, and the place was a bit narrow. When Gu Yunji turned sideways to give way, he happened to meet a pair of soft autumn eyes beside him.

Looking at the young man's clean and clear eyes, Xu Shuhua was slightly taken aback, then she immediately lowered her eyelashes, pretending to be casually looking away.Seeing this, Gu Yunji also quickly looked away. He looked up at the dark sky, coughed a little uncomfortably, and didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, a young man and a young woman walked out of the left and right halls respectively, and the two came together in front of Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua, leaning on each other's elbows, whispering something, they seemed to be a pair of close lovers.

This time, Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua were even more embarrassed, their eyes were erratic and their expressions were uncertain, and they didn't even know where to put their hands.

"Cough, so what, where's the teacher?" Gu Yunji thought for a long time, and finally found a topic to talk about.

Xu Shuhua looked around as he said, and he didn't see Xu Chengyu, so he was not in a hurry, and said softly: "Maybe I went to buy pastries. In the past, Yufangzhai would set up a few cakes in crowded places every festival. It’s a stall, daddy always buys some when he sees it, we’ll just wait here for a while.”

"Oh, that's right." Gu Yunji didn't expect this topic to end so soon, and after he answered the question awkwardly, the two of them fell into silence again.

He was struggling to think about what kind of topic to find again, when Xu Shuhua took the initiative to say, "Did you do what Fang Zigui did?"

Gu Yunji didn't expect her to mention this suddenly. He was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he said generously: "I did it. Since he blackmailed you with his reputation, I will let him taste the taste of humiliation."

Xu Shuhua seemed a little hesitant: "But in this case, I'm afraid..."

Gu Yunji thought she was still worried that Fang Zi would come to make trouble after returning, so he said:
"Don't worry, he has the good name of Longyang on his back, so he shouldn't dare to harass you anymore. As long as he dares to come, you can call someone loudly. Even if he pours dirty water on you, no one will believe it." The dignified daughter of Shanzhang Xu, if she can fall in love with someone who will be the puppet brother of the old man, she will definitely stand by your side."

Xu Shuhua knew that he had misunderstood him, and he showed a helpless smile when he heard the words: "I didn't mean that, I meant that you don't have to make enemies with him because of such a trivial matter as me. Fang Zigui's father is a cabinet scholar, and he is very personable." If you are jealous, you will be retaliated, and I am afraid that I will wait for the opportunity to retaliate against you in the future."

Gu Yunji knew that he had misunderstood, and scratched his head embarrassingly: "Miss Xu, don't worry, Fang Zigui is not easy to mess with, and I'm naturally not made of clay, so I won't be defeated so easily. I'm just afraid that I will be framed by others this time. Being not upright makes Ms. Xu feel that I am low-handed and despise my character."

"How could it be?" Xu Shuhua smiled lightly, "Young Master Gu taught Fang Zigui a lesson for me. I'm too late to be grateful, so how could I not like it? Besides, Fang Zigui's character is despicable, and Young Master Gu is not afraid of the evil power of the other party. To help me, although the method is tortuous, but the result is very satisfying, this is what a real gentleman does."

After being praised so much by her, the corners of Gu Yunji's mouth raised unconsciously, but he was afraid that Xu Shuhua would be under too much psychological pressure, so he still said:
"Where is it, Fang Zigui's misbehavior is so nasty that no one can stand it, I just do it casually. Even if someone else was bullied by him that day, I will also take action to stop it."

According to this meaning, if it was another woman who was coerced at that time, would Gu Yunji do the same thing?It turned out that his care and appreciation were not for himself alone.Thinking of this, Xu Shuhua was inexplicably lost.

After all, Gu Yunji kept some female intuition in his heart. He instantly caught the change of Xu Shuhua's mood keenly, but for a while he couldn't figure out the reason for the other party's bad mood.

What sad thing did he bring up?Or which sentence is wrong?Or, because he said that he would help no matter who it was, it seemed that Xu Shuhua was not special in his heart?

What are you thinking, too confident.Gu Yunji smirked slightly in his heart.

If she gets angry just because Xu Shuhua's position in her heart is not special, doesn't it mean that she is also very special in her heart?
This is too outrageous, how can he be so important in Xu Shuhua's heart?

Just when Gu Yunji's thoughts were letting go, Su Qi and Cheng Yan also came out of Kuixing Palace.The two of them didn't notice the difference between Xu Shuhua and Gu Yunji. After waiting outside the hall for Xu Chengyu to come back from buying pastries, they made an appointment to watch the lanterns together, so the group left the Town God's Temple and walked out onto the street.

What a few people didn't realize was that Fang Zigui, who had been there for an unknown amount of time in an inconspicuous corner next to the Kuixing Hall, listened to all the conversations between Gu Yunji and Xu Shuhua.

At this moment, he had a gloomy expression on his face, staring at Gu Yunji's back as if his eyes had been poisoned, he gritted his teeth and said secretly: "Gu, Yun, Ji, you wait!"
