Chapter 264: The Secret Revealed
Please go to the new cabin on time at 11 o'clock to check in. We hope that you can continue to show your true self and create more beautiful memories in the new environment. "
Before eleven o'clock, Shen Ji's figure had quietly appeared in front of the door of No. 6 Heartbeat House. His appearance seemed to bring a little ripple to the originally peaceful house. Han Yisu accidentally caught a glimpse of Shen Ji, and the irritability in his heart surged like a tide, but he quickly restrained his emotions and maintained his demeanor.
He turned to say goodbye to Lu Qingxi, with his signature sunny smile on his face, but his voice revealed a hint of subtle loneliness: "Qingxi, I'm leaving first. I hope you have a good time here." After saying that, he picked up his suitcase and turned to walk towards the Heart-beating House No. 4.
At this time, Yang Wuxi was standing at the door of the No. 4 Heartbeat House, and her eyes fell on Han Yisu inadvertently. Her originally nervous mood gradually calmed down when she saw him coming. Han Yisu's smile was still bright, but Yang Wuxi could read an inexplicable emotion from his deep eyes - it was a cold, empty smile.
She suddenly felt that Han Yisu was very boring, as if his smile was just a mask to hide his true feelings. Yang Wuxi felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, and she began to waver in her expectations of Han Yisu.
Han Yisu dragged his suitcase and slowly walked past Yang Wuxi, without stopping or looking back. Yang Wuxi watched him walk away...
The afternoon sun shone through the window onto the dining table of No. 6 Heartbeat House. Shen Ji and Lu Qingxi had just finished a sumptuous lunch. Shen Ji noticed that Lu Qingxi's eyes showed a little fatigue, so he thoughtfully suggested: "Qingxi, you look a little tired, do you want to take a short nap?"
When Lu Qingxi heard this suggestion, she lowered her head slightly and told Shen Ji about her recent troubles: "I have not been sleeping well recently, so you should spend some time with me."
When Shen Ji heard Lu Qingxi say that she couldn't sleep well, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and then he suggested: "You have been a little tired recently, let's find something relaxing to do indoors today."
Lu Qingxi nodded gently and smiled: "Let me think about it. I haven't played Go for a long time. We can play Go together to kill time."
Shen Ji's eyes flashed with approval, and then he took out the Go board and pieces from the cabinet next to him. The two sat on the sofa and started a Go game. On the board, black and white pieces intertwined, like the collision of two people's hearts. They were fully focused on it, going back and forth, and every move was carefully considered. Sometimes Shen Ji cleverly arranged and took the advantage; sometimes Lu Qingxi turned danger into safety and reversed the situation. After a few games, they each won and lost, but they enjoyed the fun of meeting a worthy opponent.
As night fell, the two decided to taste Cantonese cuisine. They ordered several signature dishes, each of which was delicious and mouth-watering. However, because the dishes were greasy, Lu Qingxi felt a little uncomfortable after the meal. She picked up a bottle of yogurt and sipped it gently to relieve the greasy feeling.
After dinner, the two decided to go for a walk with their dog. They took Mantou and strolled in the night. This time they chose a different route from yesterday and enjoyed different scenery along the way. The night was like water, the breeze was blowing, and the two walked side by side, enjoying this rare quiet time.
While walking the dog, Shen Ji suddenly had an idea. He stopped, turned around and said to Lu Qingxi, "Let's get up early tomorrow and go to Wan'an Temple. I heard that the sandalwood there is very helpful for sleep. We can ask for some and bring it back to try. Also, we can try the vegetarian food there. I heard it tastes very good."
Lu Qingxi's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing this. She nodded and said, "Sure! I also want to try the vegetarian food there. Shen Ji, thank you for being so thoughtful."
From the early morning of the next day to 10 am, all the Heartbeat Houses fell into silence of waiting, without receiving any notification from the program team. This unusual silence made the guests feel a little depressed, not knowing what arrangements would be made next.
It was not until half past ten that the program team finally broke the silence and issued a notice: "Please note that each group of guests will end their one-on-one living away from home tonight. Each group of guests needs to return to our No. 1 Heart-beating House before 10 o'clock in the evening. The rest of the time can be arranged by yourselves." This news made the guests realize that they were about to say goodbye to this special time living away from home and return to the collective life of No. 1 Heart-beating House.
Han Yisu, Zhou Siming and Yue Muchen followed their inner guidance and came to the No. 6 Heartbeat House. However, when they opened the door, they only saw Mantou running to the door. Mantou barked at them as if he was guarding his old father's territory, adding a bit of mystery and tension to the atmosphere.
They looked around and found that the owners of cabin number six, Shen Ji and Lu Qingxi, were not in the cabin. At this time, they realized that the two might have gone out and gone to other places. This sudden change made the male guests very disappointed, and they didn't know where the two had gone.
At this time, Shen Ji and Lu Qingxi were in the main hall of Wan'an Temple. They met an old monk here. The old monk looked at Shen Ji with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes and said slowly: "Don't be too persistent, it's hard to get what you want." This sentence made Shen Ji's heart sink...
Then, the old monk looked at Lu Qingxi again, with a hint of surprise on his face. He shook his head slightly, and only said the word "strange", and then wanted to say something to Lu Qingxi, but in the end he said nothing. Although Lu Qingxi felt a little confused, he also understood that there must be a deep meaning in the old monk's words.
Shen Ji stood on the steps of Wan'an Temple, watching the mysterious old monk walk away. He was confused and curious about the words left by the old monk: "Don't be too persistent, it's hard to get what you want." He took a few steps forward and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the old monk just turned around slightly, took out two small boxes of exquisite sandalwood from his sleeve, smiled and handed them to Shen Ji, and said to Lu Qingxi behind him.
"These two boxes of sandalwood are presented to the female donor. I hope your mind can be as calm as water, and not be disturbed by external things." The old monk's voice was melodious and profound, as if it had traveled through thousands of years.
Lu Qingxi took the sandalwood from Shen Ji and nodded his head in thanks, but he was a little confused. Shen Ji frowned, as if he wanted to get more enlightenment from the old monk. But the old monk just smiled, turned around and disappeared into the sunset.
