Less than an hour later, Han Xingjin refilled the incense once, and when the second incense burned out, Han Xingjin put down his pen and let out a long breath.
"Okay, let me pack up and go out." When he started to speak, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse.
Jin Yu handed her a glass of warm water, "Are you okay?"
Han Xingjin didn't answer, and motioned to Jin Yu to put it down first. He didn't listen and was packing the things on the table, "It's okay."
"But you..." Jin Yu thought for a while and changed his words, "Didn't you all say it consumes mana?"
Han Xingjin folded one of the talismans into a small triangle and handed it to Jin Yu, "Put it up."
"Didn't you give me the peace charm?" Jin Yu was talking about the keychain.
"This is the Yin-dispelling Talisman."
Jin Yu took it, took the coat lying on the sofa next to him, and put the charm into the inner pocket of the coat.
Han Xingjin put the other talismans into the small bag he carried with him, "It's been a long time since I drew so many at once. I lose concentration while drawing. I have to fight against my laziness."
Jin Yu looked unconvinced, and Han Xingjin didn't explain much. She was indeed tired and hungry now.
"Let's go quickly. I'm so hungry. I can eat a little more tonight."
"No need to fast and burn incense?"
Han Xing smiled solemnly, "No need, at least I haven't been exposed to so many precepts since I was a child. An old Taoist priest told me that whether a talisman is useful only depends on the person who draws the talisman, not the environment in which the talisman is drawn."
"So, you don't buy expensive incense?"
Han Xingjin nodded, "The old Taoist priest said that incense is only for communicating with the three realms and conveying information and space. Burn three civilized incense sticks with a sincere heart."
“So it doesn’t matter whether the fragrance is expensive or not, or it is good or bad. Otherwise, we will only listen to the prayers of the rich.”
It actually seems to make sense.
Jin Yu took Han Xingjin to a restaurant in Beijing that sells innovative fusion specialties that are very popular recently. It was after eight o'clock, and there were still many people lining up to sit down.
"Let's go to another one. How long will it take to take the photo?" Han Xingjin was really hungry and couldn't wait to be queued up.
When Jin Yu called and hung up, a man in a suit and leather shoes trotted out of the store.
"Mr. Jin is here, please come quickly." The visitor respectfully invited Jin Yu to come in.
"I'm in a hurry, can I have a small private room?"
Jin Yu nodded slightly and said "hmm" with precious words.
Han Xingjin looked at Jin Yu like this and felt that he was almost suffering from internal injuries. Just pretend, keep pretending.
Han Xingjin thought again of Jin Yu when he first met him. It had been such a long time since he last met.
The two of them were taken to a small private room. Han Xing took a look at the decoration, a couple's bag!
Chairs covered in dark red velvet, stained glass lighting windows made of hearts, and murals with obvious implications.
The most important thing is that the beautiful bouquet of roses on the table is a bouquet and not one in a vase.
Han Xingjin felt a little embarrassed, but the person who welcomed them in kept apologizing.
“It was in a hurry and not well prepared. Please forgive me for any shortcomings.”
Jin Yu didn't seem to see anything, he helped Han Xingjin pull out the chair, motioned for Han Xingjin to sit down, and then sat on the opposite side, moving his hands and feet gracefully.
"Mr. Jin, look at this dish..."
"Look at your characteristics."
The manager turned to Han Xingjin and asked, "Miss, do you have any taboos?"
Han Xingjin shook his head, "I don't really eat river fish."
The manager nodded, "Okay, wait a moment."
The manager went out, and the two of them stayed in a semi-closed private room. Han Xingjin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, maybe because of the environment, because it was obviously not the first time that the two of them were alone.
Feeling really bored, Han Xingjin yawned loudly and suddenly remembered, "Oh my, my homework."
"Um?"
Han Xingjin told Jin Yu what Chen Lu had told her today, "I have to hand in my homework quickly."
"Do you have to pay even if you don't go tomorrow?"
Han Xingjin nodded. Fortunately, she had to write today, so she started writing while holding her phone.
While I was still making changes, the waiter knocked on the door to serve the dishes. Each portion was small and there were about ten dishes.
"It's too much." Han Xing looked at Jin Yu cautiously.
Just then the manager walked in and said, "No more, no more, they are all small portions. Since the lady is from out of town, please try a few more of our special dishes. I wish you a pleasant meal."
Han Xing was very happy, this must be such a good thing.
"Do you know this manager?" Han Xingjin asked.
Jin Yu served Han Xingjin some soup, "To be precise, I know their boss."
"Oh, no wonder." After Han Xingjin finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to correct his homework.
Han Xingjin obviously had no intention of asking any more questions. Jin Yu was actually a little disappointed. Don't you want to know me better? Jin Yu thought.
Han Xingjin's idea was very simple. He didn't have many good friends, especially Jin Yu, who was very good. Among his friends, the best ones were more successful. People were divided into groups.
It seemed a bit early to go directly to the hospital after dinner. There was a pedestrian street not far from the restaurant, and the pedestrian street was still busy at 90 o'clock.
Han Xingjin wanted to go shopping, but Jin Yu could only follow him.
It's just that Han Xingjin was a little disappointed. It turns out that pedestrian streets across the country are pretty much the same.
The small commodities sold are all from the same small commodity market, and the snacks sold are all from the same franchise company, including milk tea, which are all national chains.
"If you want to see the characteristics of Beijing, you have to go to the old city. These business districts are almost the same." Jin Yu could see Han Xingjin's thoughts.
The two of them strolled through the pedestrian street and then drove away.
What Jin Yu didn't expect was that Han Xingjin dozed off little by little as soon as he got in the car. Although it wasn't cold in June, Jin Yu still closed the windows and turned on the air conditioner.
Han Xingjin adjusted his position, leaning his head against the window, and fell into a deeper sleep.
It seems that drawing talismans is still a waste. Han Xingjin ate obviously more than usual tonight. Maybe he was hungry, or maybe the food didn't suit his taste.
But obviously I slept for more than an hour in the afternoon, and now I am sleeping in the car, which shows that I am tired.
Jin Yu couldn't help but reflect on whether it was right or wrong to ask Han Xingjin to do this kind of thing. He couldn't hurt his own people just because he didn't trust other people.
Just this time, this time it's over, I won't look for her next time, Jin Yu thought.
It was less than eleven o'clock when they arrived near the hospital. According to Han Xingjin, it was too early for them to go up there. Jin Yu found a place with tall and dense trees to park the car.
The dense branches and leaves of the trees blocked the light of the street lamp, and not much light penetrated into the car. He slowly put down the seat, took his coat and covered Han Xingjin.
It was not until forty minutes later that Jin Yu woke up Han Xingjin and took his coat back before waking him up.
"Am I asleep?" Han Xing stared around in confusion.
Jin Yu put on his coat, and there was still the warmth and smell of Han Xingjin on the coat, which was freesia.
"Yes, it's half past eleven, it's almost time for us to go up."
Han Xingjin rubbed his neck, lowered his head and looked around, as if he was looking for something.
Jin Yu handed over a thermos cup, "It's still warm."
Han Xingjin took a few sips and felt much better. "Let's go up and meet He Yan's bride."
