Chapter 375 Recently I've been targeted by petty people.
The wind tousled her long hair, and Lu Tingnian reached out to tidy it up until the contours of her face were clearly defined, before slowly withdrawing his hand.
"There's nothing a hot pot meal can't solve. If it still can't, then have another one, two, three..."
Qiao Luo: "..."
"This is the store's slogan."
Lu Tingnian explained.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo turned her gaze toward the hot pot restaurant, and sure enough, the promotional banner at the entrance displayed such a large character.
"Then give it a try?"
The two then got out of the car and went inside.
When the numbing and spicy hot pot was served, Qiao Luo truly forgot her troubles and enjoyed it to the fullest.
She especially loves strong flavors; those foods, by stimulating her taste buds, help her shift away from negative emotions.
When your body reacts, you can then legitimately shirk responsibility and tell others that it was all caused by food.
Just like the Sichuan peppercorns she was eating, they were both numbing and spicy, precisely stimulating her nerves through her taste buds. As a result, pain, tears, and snot all came to the rescue.
It's unclear who started it or who caused it.
In short, it's an emotional release, and it also allows you to find a scapegoat.
It can both hide your vulnerability and reinforce your strong exterior—why not?
So when all of these things came together, she felt extremely happy.
Lu Tingnian stared at her. He couldn't eat spicy food very well, so he simply sat there and watched her eat.
Watching her eyes turn red from the spiciness, watching her tears fall from the spiciness, watching the smile on her face that was hard to tell whether it was a smile or a cry, all because of the spiciness.
He didn't say anything, but simply offered her tissues or water when she needed them.
Until the sizzling hot pot ended.
He took her to the mountaintop to enjoy the breeze.
Let the gentle evening breeze dispel the sweltering heat from your body.
"How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
Lu Tingnian asked.
Qiao Luo did not answer immediately, but continued to gaze at everything in front of her.
At this moment, she and Lu Tingnian were lying on the grass on the mountaintop, gazing at the starry sky.
She hadn't looked at the stars like this in a long time. Her life had been full of ups and downs lately, becoming more vibrant with the changes in her work.
Only then did she feel a rare sense of peace.
It allows her to forget her troubles and find peace.
"Yes, it's much better now."
She replied quietly.
Lu Tingnian: "So, are you willing to tell me about your troubles now?"
He put his arm behind his head, adjusted to a comfortable position, and asked.
Although he had already gleaned some of the details from what he had overheard, he didn't believe that someone with her competence would be capable of such a situation.
Qiao Luo knew exactly what he was asking, but she didn't want to answer because it was a work-related matter and shouldn't be brought into her personal life.
He shouldn't be a dumping ground for his own emotions.
"There's not much to say, I've probably been plagued by petty people lately."
That's why everything goes wrong.
"How about we find a shaman to exorcise the evil spirits for you another day?"
Lu Tingnian said.
Qiao Luo laughed and said, "That's great! I was just thinking of finding a temple to pray at to get rid of the bad luck I've been having lately."
She said it in a teasing tone.
But Lu Tingnian sensed a hint of helplessness in his voice. He stood up and said, "I know a place."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to her.
Although Qiao Luo didn't know what he was going to do, she still reached out her hand and gave it to him.
He helped her to her feet and they soon stopped in front of a temple.
Qiao Luo was stunned; she had no idea that there was such a temple at the foot of this mountain.
However, this is not important.
"What are you..."
Lu Tingnian: "Weren't we looking for the temple gate?"
Qiao Luo: "..."
She was just saying it casually, just joking, but she didn't expect him to take it seriously.
She shrugged and said, "But I have nothing right now. I can't go to the temple empty-handed."
Lu Tingnian: "Sincerity brings results."
Qiao Luo couldn't do anything about him, not knowing whether he truly believed it or not.
However, since we've already arrived at the temple gate, how could we not pay our respects?
With that thought in mind, she slowly walked inside.
The temple was brightly lit, and many statues of gods, some benevolent and some majestic, stood there.
Qiao Luo never believed in these things, but she still clasped her hands together and prayed to the statues.
If they can really help her, they should tell her who she has offended.
That way, she can die knowing why, right?
