Song Lucun's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Xinyao held up her cell phone with one hand and pressed Song Zilian's furry head into her arms with the other, guarding against him making any further moves.
She wanted him to stop and answer the call. If she had known he would be so restless, she would have turned off the phone immediately.
Fortunately, Song Zilian didn't make any more moves, he just tore off her collar and bit her shoulder gently with his teeth.
"I just finished my work at the bank, and I want to ask you to go shopping and watch a movie. A new love movie has been released recently, and the reputation is pretty good."
In the past, Song Lucun would not have taken the initiative to care about movies.
"It's not convenient for me. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my mother's death. I'm at Longquan Temple now and I may not be able to go down the mountain until the day after tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly let out an ambiguous moan.
Song Zilian actually boldly got into her short sleeves!
"Xinyao, what's wrong with you?" Song Lucun heard the voice and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I was startled by the puppy in the temple."
As she spoke, she pouted, frowned, and lightly hit Song Zilian.
"The dog in the temple? What kind of dog?" Song Lucun once wanted to continue chatting awkwardly with her.
"Teddy." Ji Xinyao tried her best to keep Song Zilian from moving, and then hurriedly said to Song Lucun, "Let's talk about shopping and watching movies another day. I'll play with the puppy for a while. Goodbye."
She hung up the phone, and Song Zilian just slipped out of her loose collar.
"Are you done talking on the phone?"
"Your clothes will be ruined."
His two hands grabbed her wrists respectively and pinned her on the bed.
"Want to break you."
"If you feel uncomfortable, go take a shower. This is a quiet place in Buddhism. You are not allowed to move rashly."
Ji Xinyao said seriously.
She was obviously the one who flirted with him first.
Song Zilian obediently withdrew and fell beside her.
"It's not very uncomfortable there, but I feel uncomfortable inside."
"What's the discomfort?"
"You know you're just teasing me, but you're not sweet yet. Liars are better at pretending than you are."
This makes me dislike her.
Ji Xinyao laughed until her stomach hurt.
"Then you still have a lot of time to be miserable. Work hard for your mission! Little rookie."
Song Zilian remained silent for a while, then he came over and hugged Ji Xinyao.
"I'll accompany you to read the lines. The next scene is about waking up, right?"
Ji Xinyao nodded and reviewed the lines.
She first got into Song Zilian's arms, closed her eyes, and then slowly opened them.
Song Zilian also closed his eyes. She was very close to him, so close that even his eyelashes could be seen clearly.
Song Zilian waited for a long time, waiting for Ji Xinyao to scream like in the script, saying, "It's already eight o'clock. What should I do if I'm late?"
But he waited for about a minute and saw no movement from Ji Xinyao.
He opened his eyes and saw that she was just looking at him quietly.
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten your lines?"
Ji Xinyao smiled softly, "Well, I forgot."
She has a better memory than the average person, and it is impossible to forget what she just read.
Song Zilian got up and helped her find the script.
"Then take a look first. I think this part is quite difficult to perform. You have to control the speed well. If you exceed it, it will become noisy. But the force is too light and it cannot show the panic of the heroine."
He actually analyzed it carefully and was joking with her.
Ji Xinyao looked down at the lines, "How do you understand it so well? It's like you are possessed by Shi Yin."
"I want to help you with whatever they can, so that you can rely on me for anything in the future. Isn't it more convenient than having to find several people to solve it?"
Ji Xinyao didn't expect that Song Zilian would still have such thoughts, so she couldn't help giving a thumbs up.
At noon, after the two of them finished eating, Ji Xinyao planned to go to her mother's tomb to pay her respects.
She didn't believe that Ji Chengye was sincerely doing his best for her mother. After all, he was a scumbag who dared to lie and call her a bastard and insult her mother's reputation.
In order to understand the background, she actually had a lot of things related to her mother in her memory.
She was a very smart woman. If she had not been limited by the times, she would not have needed to recruit a supercilious son-in-law to cover up the fact that she gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock.
If Ji Xinyao's grandfather had been more open-minded and allowed his mother to take over the Ji family, the original owner would not have fallen to this situation.
"Longquan Temple is really a geomantic treasure. It is surrounded by mountains in front and water in the back. The view here is also wide. No wonder I chose to be buried here."
Song Zilian accompanied her, but Ji Xinyao originally refused. She thought it was her private matter, but Song Zilian was so stubborn that he even had someone buy flowers and give her a share.
"This is indeed a treasure land for Feng Shui. There are already several areas with good Feng Shui. I heard that someone in your family also passed away, right? Where are they buried?"
Song Zilian gestured, "I can't tell you this, it's a secret."
Ji Xinyao was afraid that if she continued to ask, Song Zilian would ask about their relationship and why she cared so much, so she did not pursue the question further and asked her instead, "Your family didn't build an imperial mausoleum, right? Because there are many burial objects, so you are afraid of tomb robbers?"
"That's not the case, they don't deserve it."
The two of them talked and came to Ji Xinyao's mother's tomb, and unexpectedly found a bouquet of chrysanthemums placed here.
It was impossible for Ji Chengye to come to pay homage to her mother in advance. He was not that kind at all, so who would have sent this bouquet of flowers?
She lowered her head and looked at the place where the incense candle was placed. The incense candle had not yet been burned out, which meant that the person had just left.
Next to those incense candles, there are a lot of densely packed incense candle residues that have been washed away. Does that person come every year?
Could that man be her biological father?
In an instant, the virtual screen in front of Ji Xinyao jumped.
[Finding biological father: +1%, total task progress: 1%]
"Song Zilian, please help me take care of my things. I'll leave for a while and be back soon."
"What are you going to do? I'll accompany you."
"No, I don't have time to explain to you."
Ji Xinyao had the impression that when she was walking to the cemetery, she encountered several people walking towards her. Maybe she could catch up with them.
She ran hard and caught up with several people, but either they were women or their heights were different from those in the photos.
The man is about 1.8 meters tall, half a head taller than her mother.
Finally, she ran to the temple gate before giving up and walked back angrily.
She saw Song Zilian squatting down and Simon holding an umbrella for him. He was offering incense and burning paper while saying something.
Only when she got closer did she hear clearly what he was saying, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xinyao. If you have a soul in heaven, look for my face and let others tell you about her."
It’s Xinyao’s boyfriend, but you must not believe it. Amitabha.”
"Song Zilian!" Ji Xinyao suddenly shouted, with a slight hint of anger, which startled Song Zilian.
He didn't know whether to throw the money and paper in his hand into the fire.
