summer storm

Chapter 6 The Final Sun Rain

On the second day after their marriage, Ruan Xin and Xu Beishan went to the place where they first met as agreed.

I haven't been here for a year, and the Green Banyan Temple in summer is the same as it used to be, with verdant green trees and long tranquility.

Ruan Xin and Xu Beishan walked side by side among the red walls and green trees, listening to the bells of the ancient temple, and watching the birds rising and falling on the treetops.

Although the Green Banyan Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, its scale is not too large, and it took a while to walk around.

Ruan Xin put his hands behind his back, glanced at his handsome husband, pursed his mouth, and finally failed to ask Xu Beishan about his doubts.

Maybe I didn't know when I was drunk and said it?He guessed like this in his heart.

Kicking away the pebbles on the ground, Ruan Xin scolded himself for not being up to date. Isn't it because the topic of his ex-boyfriend was involved? Why didn't he dare to ask.

Instead, Xu Beishan kept walking, leading Ruan Xin to the west side of the Hall of Rebirth.

The monk wearing a blue-gray long-sleeved robe stood at the entrance of the hall. When he saw Xu Beishan, he saluted him, as if he was very familiar with Xu Beishan.

The monk led them into the Hall of Rebirth.

Ruan Xin was a little dazed, but he didn't dare to speak to Xu Beishan on this solemn and peaceful occasion.

The ever-burning candles are flickering, and the golden lacquered Buddha statues in the niches filled with scriptures are beautiful in shape, and more, there are tablets with different names written on them.

As he walked, Xu Beishan stopped. He turned sideways and looked up at a certain yellow reincarnation tablet.

Ruan Xin followed Xu Beishan's gaze, and a line of words came into view.

Xu Beishan is written on the upper left of the tablet, and Xu Nanxi, the deceased sister, is written in the middle.

Ruan Xin also saw even smaller small characters, which he could vaguely distinguish as blessings... With the help of the Buddha's kindness, he rescued his dead sister, performed the magic method, recommended the four lives and the six paths, until he was able to hear the Dharma.

…To receive the taste of the Dharma together, to enjoy the benefits of the Dharma together, to escape the six realms of reincarnation forever, the sufferings of the three journeys and the eight difficulties, and to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss quickly.

Xu Beishan, and a sister who has passed away?

Ruan Xin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He looked at Xu Beishan, but saw that the man's expression was not too sad, but a gentle and nostalgic smile.

Patting him on the shoulder, Xu Beishan gently said to Ruan Xin: "Nanxi once said that she wanted to come here to have a look, so I enshrined a tablet for her here."

He also said: "Xin Xin, what Nanxi said is correct, the Green Banyan Temple is a good place."

Ruan Xin tugged at the corner of his clothes, and for some reason, his eyes felt a little sore, perhaps because he had never seen such a soft side of Xu Beishan.

He asked in a low voice, "Xu Beishan, when we met here for the first time, were you here to see your sister?"

Xu Beishan nodded.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The ancient temple bell rang, and the surprised birds rustled.

The man's voice was long and peaceful in the aftertaste of the bell.

"My sister's name is Xu Nanxi...Perhaps, you may remember her other name, Little Lemon."

Ruan Xin stayed where he was, the nickname opened a dusty lock, and the memories in his mind flooded back.

Humid and hot summer days, endless rainy nights, the days of chatting with friends in high school, the days of planning to chase someone together, the days of being depressed and nervous after friends disappeared...

Ruan Xin thought that he had forgotten, but now he found that those memories were still so clear.

You don't have to worry about how to ask questions that you couldn't ask before, because the answers are already obvious.

Ruan Xin didn't know how he and Xu Beishan walked out of the Hall of Rebirth, until the sunlight piercing through the gaps in the leaves stung his eyes, he came back to his senses in a daze.

"She suddenly disappeared..."

"Yeah." Xu Beishan understood Ruan Xin's rambling words, "He died of illness."

Raising his hand, Xu Beishan covered Ruan Xin from the sunlight above his head, his tall figure was wide and reliable.

"I was sitting on a bench in the corridor, holding her mobile phone, and I received your call.

You have been crying, and you are cursing a bastard named Zhou Zhiyan while crying. "

Ruan Xin lowered his head, tears blurring his eyes.

"You were the one who answered that call..."

The wind blows and the leaves rustle.

The cat was lying on the side of the road, lazily licking its paws.

In the tree-lined path that passes through, in the incense burner in front of the main hall, white mist curls up.

On the day they first met, Ruan Xin saw Xu Beishan who was offering incense here.

Ruan Xin had thousands of words to say in his heart, for example, what disease did Little Lemon die of?Did she suffer then?What does she look like, she must be as good-looking as you, right?Did she tell you a lot about me?

But when the words came to his lips, Ruan Xin couldn't say a word.

He knew Xu Beishan's character too well, and knew that if Xu Beishan didn't completely trust him and treat him as a family member, it would be impossible for him to bring him to see Xu Nanxi.

Somewhere, Ruan Xin felt as if there was a butterfly flapping its wings on the other side of time.

Xu Beishan picked up a stick of incense and lit it, put it into Ruan Xin's hands, and picked up a stick himself.

Ruan Xin and Xu Beishan finished offering incense at the Green Banyan Temple and walked outside the temple.

In Yinan in summer, there are always sudden showers.

The sun is still rising, and the raindrops over there have been pouring down overwhelmingly.

The fluttering butterfly set off a protracted storm.

Xu Beishan took Ruan Xin's hand and started running in the sun and rain.

The sunlight pierced through the water droplets, refracting rainbow-like rays of light. The two of them ran like this, as if they were traveling through a rainy summer day ten years ago.

Tears and rain fell down his cheeks together, Ruan Xin heard Xu Beishan's voice cut through the sticky and humid summer air, passed through time and space, and reached his ears.

Xu Beishan said: "Ruan Xin, I have no ex, and I have no secrets, but I have one regret."

"Ten years ago, Xu Nanxi told me that he wanted me to chat with you, saying that I would definitely like you, but I never replied to your messages because of unreasonable anger."

"A year ago, when I saw you at the Green Banyan Temple, I thought about it."

"If I knew today, why bother wasting so many years."

But fortunately, no matter how long the rainstorm is, there will be a day when the rainstorm will stop, and the people destined by God will always meet.

This summer, the rain is always accompanied by the sun, and the storm no longer has to blow.
