the next morning.

Su Yanyan specially changed into casual clothes, carried a crossbody bag, and was ready to go out.

Mu Tingchen has been waiting downstairs for a long time. He is also wearing casual clothes today, without the serious and formal look of the past.

Seeing Su Yanyan coming downstairs, Mu Tingchen's eyes flashed and he strode forward without saying a word. Su Yanyan jogged a few steps to catch up with Mu Tingchen, and the two got into the car together.

It is early autumn now, and the breeze brings a cool and pleasant feeling, which makes people feel particularly comfortable.

"Let's go to Ci'en Temple on the outskirts of the city first." Mu Tingchen said suddenly.

"Okay." Xu Yang responded, and the car started slowly, heading in the direction of Ci'en Temple.

Ci'en Temple is a famous temple in Nanjiang City, and its incense has always been very popular.

There are many people here asking for fortune-telling and praying to Buddha. They come here with a pious heart to pray to Buddha for peace. Mu Tingchen and Su Yanyan got out of the car and walked into Ci'en Temple.

The temple is built in an antique style and is filled with the aroma of sandalwood.

Mu Tingchen and Su Yanyan passed through the bustling pilgrims and arrived at the backyard of the temple. There is a small tower here. The tower is not big but very high, about ten stories high. The tower body is dark yellow and looks a bit old.

"This pagoda is called the 'Relic Pagoda', and it is said that the relics of the Buddha are enshrined inside." Mu Tingchen spoke slowly and in a calm tone.

Su Yanyan looked at him in surprise: "You actually know this?"

Mu Tingchen glanced at her lightly and said nothing, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

The two of them continued walking and came to a bamboo forest. The bamboos here are very tall and lush. The sunlight shines on the ground through the bamboo leaves, and the mottled light and shadow are reflected on the faces of the two people.

"Do you know why there are so many bamboos here?" Mu Tingchen asked suddenly.

Su Yanyan shook her head: "I don't know."

Mu Tingchen stopped, looked at the bamboo forest, and spoke slowly:

"Because there was a story here. It is said that a long time ago, there was a young monk who practiced very devoutly. He would go to the bamboo forest to meditate and chant sutras every day. Gradually, this bamboo forest became his place of practice."

Su Yanyan listened to this story quietly, feeling peaceful and calm in her heart.

The two of them continued walking, walked out of the bamboo forest, and came to a garden. The garden is full of all kinds of flowers, colorful and fragrant.

"The scenery here is so beautiful." Su Yanyan sighed.

Mu Tingchen did not speak, but quietly admired the garden with her.

The two walked around the garden and then returned to the car. The sound of a car starting an engine broke the tranquility of the temple backyard and woke up Su Yanyan who was immersed in the story.

She turned her head and looked at Mu Tingchen, her heart filled with gratitude and respect.

Mu Tingchen glanced at her and frowned slightly. He opened the car door, took a deep breath, and then said, "I just want to make you happy. I didn't expect you to be moved by this."

Su Yanyan smiled slightly and shook her head: "I was not moved because of your story, but because of your carefulness and consideration."

Mu Tingchen looked at her with a trace of doubt in his eyes. He didn't know what Su Yanyan was thinking, but he knew that she had become an indispensable person in his life.

The two stopped talking and quietly enjoyed the tranquility and comfort in the car. Soon after, the car started to leave Ci'en Temple and headed towards Li Xiaoqian's home.

The car drove very fast and soon arrived at the community where Li Xiaoqian's home was located. After the car parked, Mu Tingchen and Su Yanyan walked into the unit where Li Xiaoqian lived.

The two of them knocked on the door, and soon Li Xiaoqian came to open the door.

"You are here, come in quickly."

Li Xiaoqian greeted the two of them into the house.

Although it was a simple rental, the room was clean and there were fresh flowers in the vase.

"I won't sit down. You guys have fun. I'll come over and take you back later."

Mu Tingchen said to Su Yanyan softly.

"Oh, Mr. Mu! You can rest assured that Yanyan is with me."

Li Xiaoqian said.

Mu Tingchen nodded slightly and said, "Okay, we'll see you tonight."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door. Su Yanyan sat on the sofa, looked around the room, and sighed: "It's so cozy here!"

Li Xiaoqian walked over, sat next to her, and said, "Yes, although this place is not big, I like it very much."

The two chatted for a while, and Li Xiaoqian suddenly asked: "How are you and Mr. Mu doing lately?"

Su Yanyan looked at her in surprise: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Li Xiaoqian chuckled and said, "I recently noticed that your relationship seems a little different."

Su Yanyan lowered her head and said shyly: "What's different?"

Li Xiaoqian approached her and lowered her voice and said, "There is a tacit understanding and warm feeling between you, just like a pair of lovers."

Su Yanyan blushed, gently pushed Li Xiaoqian away, and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

Li Xiaoqian curled her lips and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. You two look like a model couple walking together. Oh, no, they are a model couple."

Su Yanyan didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you found the place I asked you to help me find last time?"

Because of Mu Tingchen's illness, Su Yanyan could only find a place to do it secretly. After all, it was inconvenient to have so many eyes and ears in the Mu family.

Li Xiaoqian smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I have found it. I spent a lot of effort to find a place that definitely meets your requirements."

Su Yanyan asked curiously: "Where is it? Is it far?"

Li Xiaoqian shook her head and said, "Not far away, in a small alley near where I live."

Su Yanyan looked at her in surprise: "Around here? That's great."

Li Xiaoqian nodded and said, "Yes, but this place is very hidden and most people don't know about it. It's also far away from the city and relatively quiet, so it's suitable for you to do it secretly."

Su Yanyan looked at Li Xiaoqian with some emotion, but she didn't expect that she would help her so carefully.

She secretly swore in her heart that when Mu Tingchen's illness was cured, she would thank Li Xiaoqian.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Yanyan suddenly remembered a question and asked:

"By the way, you just said that there is a tacit understanding and warm feeling between the two of us. What's going on?"

Li Xiaoqian glanced at her lightly and said:

"I don't know either. I just feel that there seems to be a special tacit understanding and affection between you. Maybe it's because you have experienced a lot of things together and support and encourage each other."

After listening to this, Su Yanyan felt a little moved. She recalled every moment she spent with Mu Tingchen, and there were indeed many warm and touching moments.

She hoped they would stay like this.

But now, she began to believe Li Xiaoqian's words. Maybe she and Mu Tingchen really had a special relationship.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Yanyan suddenly remembered something and asked:

"By the way, aren't you going to take me to the snack street?"
