A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 187

With that three dollars in hand, Lily didn't know what to do.

Afterwards, John resolved her awkwardness by saying that it was just a simple favor for her as a freshman. He took away the three dollars in her hand before leaving.

Because they were both from Research Institute of Translation of University of Newcastle, they could always meet and became friends over time. Because they shared the same interests, she accepted John's confession of love one Christmas.

They were close, and they had never quarreled. John had always spoiled her.

"If I didn't go that day..." Lily doesn't want to think about what happened that day, so she turns to look at the sparkling river.

John feels painful. He grabs Lily's hand and whispers, "Darling, I will tell you everything one day."

"There's no need." Lily forcefully pulls back her hand and says with a faint smile, "The past is just a memory. It’s good enough to just think about it occasionally. My life is pretty good now."

"Darling..."

Lily corrects his words, "John, I have changed my name. Will you call me Lily in the future?"

John feels very uncomfortable in his heart.

He really wants to tell her everything and changes his image, but now is not the time, and he could not say it.

--

Lily quickly adjusts her mood.

She knows why she and John have come to Hanchi. According to the route given by the girl she met on the subway, she would take John to hang around in the next few days.

First, they go to the museum, buy all sorts of rare things, and go to the opera house ... They visit two or three places a day and keep walking along the road.

On the fifth day, John says that he wants to visit Guanyin Mountain.

Lily feels her legs go soft after she searches the mountain. "This mountain is too high. It will take four hours to go up, right??"

John says, "It's not hot either. It's good to go and relax."

Lily chuckles.

It is also okay to go to the mountains to relax!

They take the bus at 6:30 a.m. and arrived at the foot of Guanyin Mountain at 7:10 a.m. There are many stores selling incense products on both sides of the road.

Before climbing, Lily doesn't see many people and still complains about John. Why does he climb the mountain? It takes her two hours to climb up the hillside before she discovers a group of people.

Everyone rests here to eat, and then climbs up.

Lily drinks half a bottle of water. She asks John, "We have climbed a long way up. Do you have something to pray for?"

"Yes." John looks at the small statue of Avalokiteśvara far away. His voice is very low, "I want to pray for something very important."

"Have you ever heard of a phrase that says, 'Everything depends on the person'? If it is useful to pray, I would have long been the richest woman on the Forbes Rankings!" Lily laughs.

"Do you want to be on the Forbes list? I can help you." John looks at her. His blue eyes are deep, which easily makes people lost.

Lily suddenly coughs.

She is choked and coughs so intensively that some water shakes out of the bottle and dampens her clothes.

John hands her a napkin.

"Let's continue climbing." Lily does not take the napkin, and she hurriedly stands up and leaves. Seeing her fleeing in a hurry, John is very disappointed.

At noon, they finally climbed up the mountain.

The crowded mountain resounds with the soothing Great Compassion Mantra. There is a faint fragrance of incense in the air.

Lily isn't really superstitious, but she still follows John and worships the little Buddha statues inside. Then she comes out to worship the big ones, hoping that her family will be safe and sound.

She has already finished her worship, and John is still kneeling on the cushion beside her. A bit of sunlight shines on his shoulder and his face. His cold and stern face looks exceptionally gentle at this moment.

Lily is lost in thought.

The man's profile seems to overlap with the other profile in her mind.
