Chapter 1848: A Pair of Completely White Eyes

When Shen Zhilie said this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and flashed a bright smile, just like the way he had when he first saw her . But Fang Tongtong was no longer the same person as before .

Ye Qianqian was looking at Fang Tongtong’s visibly upset expression . She pulled Shen Zhilie and said, “Tongtong, I suppose we are not young anymore, so we will definitely be getting married sooner or later . So, yeah… I wanted to ask about the candy?”

“All right . ”

Fang Tongtong put a box of candy in front of them . She took a nice bag and placed the box in it, then she said, “Take it with you . No need to pay for it . ”

“Now that’s not okay . A favor is a favor . Business is business . ” Shen Zhilie took out his wallet and said, “I just like to make clear distinctions between the two . ”

Ye Qianqian could tell that something was off with Shen Zhilie, but she couldn’t tell exactly what it was . It didn’t seem like anything was off in his gestures or words .

Shen Zhilie took out a hundred yuan bill and placed it on the counter . He asked, “How much is it?”

Fang Tongtong looked at the bill and felt even more uncomfortable . She pushed the money back . “I’ve lived in your house for several days, and I haven’t paid the rent . It’s only a few dozen yuan . Take it . ”

Shen Zhilie looked at her . Fang Tongtong’s eyes appeared to be a little red . He could vaguely sense her mild embarrassment . “Okay . ” Shen Zhilie took the money back . “Thank you . ” Shen Zhilie picked up the candy box, turned around, and left .

Ye Qianqian was studying Fang Tongtong with a complicated look . She sighed inside and felt bad for her . After thinking about it, she said to her, “Well, we’ll be on our way now . ”

“All right,” Fang Tongtong answered faintly . She then watched them leave the shop .

After they left, someone called out in the room, “Tongtong, time for our meal!”

Fang Tongtong stared straight ahead and replied after a long time, “Mother, Qianqian is getting married . ”

When Mrs . Fang heard this, she immediately walked outside . She somehow couldn’t bring herself to believe it at all . “So fast? Didn’t she just break up with her previous boyfriend?”

“They got back together again . They just bought some candy together and said they were on their way to the blind uncle’s place to ask about their horoscope . ”

Mrs . Fang was a little surprised . “How can this girl get married the same year her grandfather passed away? It’s not auspicious . You have got to remind her . ”

But after saying this, she suddenly seemed to be reminded of something . She looked at her daughter and said, “Well, it’s none of our business anyway . Let’s eat . The meal is done . ”

“Okay . ” Fang Tongtong stood up and walked inside .

–

Ye Qianqian seldom came to this place . Although she knew the blind uncle lived in this area, she was unsure which house he lived in .

They finally found the place where the blind uncle was living in after asking for directions the whole way there . The blind uncle lived in a one-story bungalow . It was pretty worn down and rugged outside . When they walked inside, they were amazed by the antiques in the house .

Before even entering the door, they smelled a strong scent of incense . There was a futon inside, on which was placed an altar . There were all kinds of Bodhisattvas on it .

Ye Qianqian didn’t know about this kind of stuff very much, so she only recognized one Avalokitesvara, another Manjusri, and Sakyamuni Buddha . All the other types Ye Qianqian saw were only shapes to her . She didn’t know their names .

“On the way . ” A little hoarse voice traveled through the room and startled Ye Qianqian . A small and rickety figure slowly shuffled toward them from inside .

His hair had turned all white . When the old man looked up, they could clearly see all the wrinkles on his face and a pair of completely white eyes .
