Liu Yushu looked embarrassed. Pretending to be calm, she shifted her gaze and looked at the stone statue behind the man. Then she said respectfully, "I greet the Dharma protector."
"Tsk," Wu Chunzhe got up to offer incense. Maybe he had knelt for too long, and his legs went numb. He staggered and fell to the ground, then directly tumbled over, knocking over the offerings on the altar.
"Sir, are you okay?" His follower, Kan Ning, quickly helped him up.
He frowned and glared at Kan Ning. "Do I look okay to you? My feet are numb." Then he looked up at the Bodhisattva. "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva. I've been so sincere. Please show your mercy."
Liu Yushu held back her laughter, got up, and silently offered incense.
Wu Chunzhe was tidying up the offerings he had knocked over. Holding an apple in his hand, he tilted his head and stared at Liu Yushu. He carefully sized up her face. Her features were elegant and beautiful. Her almond - shaped eyes were as clear as a rippling blue lake, and her affectionate look was unforgettable at first sight.
He sighed inwardly: What a beautiful woman. But... why did she look so familiar? It seemed that he had met her somewhere before.
Liu Yushu felt his intense gaze and immediately felt pressured. She didn't dare to look up and meet his eyes. She turned around and left. She thought this man was a bit rude. How could a man stare directly at a woman like that?
Even if there were such men, they must be lechers.
"Sir, stop looking. It's not proper," Kan Ning couldn't stand it anymore and whispered to remind Wu Chunzhe.
Wu Chunzhe looked confused. He patted Kan Ning and asked, "Look at that woman. Doesn't she look familiar? Have we met her before?"
"Ah? Really?" Being asked like this, Kan Ning was also a bit dazed. He looked up at Liu Yushu, and his eyes immediately widened. He kept nodding and said, "She looks so familiar. It seems that we really have met her."
"See, I'm right," Wu Chunzhe proudly raised his head. "I have a photographic memory. Once I've seen someone, even just once, I'll remember them." Then he began to think deeply. Where on earth had he met her?
"Let's go to the backyard quickly and ask the monk to take care of Wu Qing," Liu Yushu glanced at Wu Chunzhe from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he was still staring at her, she felt really uncomfortable.
Zui Tao also noticed that Wu Chunzhe had been staring at her. She immediately stood behind Liu Yushu to block his sight.
Wu Chunzhe suddenly slapped his fist into his other palm. His eyes lit up. "I remember."
In the backyard, Liu Yushu found a monk and explained the situation to him. The monk put his palms together. "Amitabha. The girl is so kind - hearted. You can rest assured to leave the cat in the backyard. I will feed the cat water and food regularly every day. I will never let it starve to death."
"Thank you, master," Liu Yushu also respectfully put her palms together. She opened the box and let the kitten out. The kitten looked around, explored for a while, and then immediately started to play happily in the yard.
"Hey," someone called her from behind.
She turned around and saw it was Wu Chunzhe. She couldn't help but frown and ignored him. She wondered why this man had followed her here.
"I'm calling you. Why don't you answer?" Wu Chunzhe pouted. He stood in front of Liu Yushu, his arms folded across his chest. He was obviously a bit dissatisfied with her ignoring him.
"Who are you? My lady doesn't know you. Why should she answer?" Zui Tao jumped out to protect Liu Yushu.
"Sir, what the girl said makes sense. We really don't know her," Kan Ning whispered in agreement.
Wu Chunzhe turned around and glared at Kan Ning. "Whose side are you on! Who said I don't know her?" Then he turned back and stared fixedly at Liu Yushu. His eyes were already big and round, and they seemed to get even rounder when he stared at her. His bright eyes were so intense that it was hard for others to meet his gaze.
"Last month on a night, wasn't it you being chased by a monster at the gate of the Liu Mansion? I saw it clearly. I won't mistake you," Wu Chunzhe said firmly. "I even got stabbed by that monster because of you. There's still a scar on my arm. If you don't believe me, take a look." He rolled up his sleeve and showed his arm to Liu Yushu. The long scar on it was clearly visible.
That night, Liu Yushu had poisoned Wu Qing. After Wu Qing was poisoned, he chased her. The people she bumped into outside the mansion were exactly Wu Chunzhe and his servant.
"You brute. What on earth do you want by pestering my lady? How dare you behave so rudely in broad daylight," Zui Tao pointed at Wu Chunzhe and scolded, firmly believing that Wu Chunzhe was a lecher.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Zui Tao, let's go," Liu Yushu was also angry. She had completely forgotten about Wu Qing, and naturally, she had forgotten all the memories related to Wu Qing.
At this moment, she only thought Wu Chunzhe's words were ridiculous. How could she run out of the mansion at night and be chased by a monster?!
"Don't play dumb. Anyway, the person I saw that night was you," Wu Chunzhe kept chattering. Since Liu Yushu didn't give him a good look, he felt a bit embarrassed. He pouted and sneered at her back. "You, a girl, meeting your lover at night, and your lover is extremely ugly. It's really a beauty and a beast. Your taste is really heavy."
"Sir, stop talking. It's not proper," Kan Ning whispered to dissuade him. But Wu Chunzhe glared at him and continued shouting at Liu Yushu. "Don't worry. Only I and my follower know about this. We're happy to help others and won't tell anyone. Just consider it that I was so kind - hearted that I fed a dog, and I got stabbed by your ugly - looking lover for nothing."
Liu Yushu originally didn't plan to pay attention to Wu Chunzhe. But she couldn't stand his sneering. His words were so unpleasant. So she turned back and glared at him, warning him word by word, "This is a pure and quiet Buddhist place. I advise the young master not to speak recklessly, or you'll suffer in hell after you die."
Wu Chunzhe snorted unbelievably. "Me go to hell? If I go to hell, then the man and woman having a secret tryst at night would simply be annihilated." As he spoke, he stared at her with wide - open eyes.
"Stop slandering me with your nonsense," Liu Yushu was so angry that she walked back a few steps and angrily raised her hand to slap Wu Chunzhe.
She was going to teach this impolite guy a good lesson today!
