Chapter 432: Chapter 448: The Late Menstruation (10)

However, when he leaned on the white railings, staring at the koi fish, he didn’t have the admiring expression that Isabel Smith had. On the contrary, it was a very disdainful look. These koi fish... were clearly of poor quality as compared to the ones in his home’s water fountain... Thinking about the water fountain, Percy Stanton thought of the mobile phone he threw into it that night and his mood became worse.

There were many places to appreciate in the temple, as well as many temples. Each time Isabel Smith reached a place, she would make small gestures. Percy Stanton followed closely and paid attention to imitate her. Even when Isabel went to burn incense in the temple, he, a non-believer, followed suit and worshiped with three sticks of incense.

Isabel Smith didn’t believe in gods or spirits either, but she kneeled on the cushion with her hands clasped together, her attitude appearing very devout as she bowed several times to the giant Buddha statue in front of her. As a result, when she stood up, the temple abbot standing nearby gave her a particularly warm smile.

Percy Stanton inserted the incense stick but did not kneel down. With a seemingly arrogant demeanor, he nodded twice towards the Buddha statue in front of him, too lazy to even bend his waist, and immediately followed Isabel. However, when he passed by the temple abbot, he was fiercely glared at twice.

In the blink of an eye, Percy lost sight of Isabel. He circled the temple twice and hurriedly went out from the back door, still not finding Isabel. Ahead, there were two winding paths, and Percy suddenly didn’t know which direction to take.

He stood at the fork in the road, hesitating for a moment, and finally chose the road to the left. The path was winding, with trees on both sides and monkeys jumping around, occasionally making funny gestures to passersby.

But Percy had no interest in admiring these monkeys. He just kept walking forward, not daring to go too fast for fear of accidentally missing Isabel’s figure in the crowd.

At the end of this path was another temple. Percy stepped in but still couldn’t see Isabel. His heart momentarily panicked, and he circled the temple twice to make sure he hadn’t missed Isabel before hurrying out through the back door again. But he found that there was no road to walk on. Then, he retraced his steps and quickly stepped down the white stairs, anxiously looking left and right, searching.

Just as Percy was about to take out his mobile phone to make a call to Isabel, he saw her figure not far away in a plum forest that had blossomed perfectly.

These were red plums, with snow-like colors. The heavy snow from a while ago still hadn’t completely melted, and patches of snow remained on the ground. The red and white colors mixed together, making the scene look extraordinarily beautiful.

Isabel Smith wore a white down jacket, and her black hair fluttered as she walked through the plum forest. There was a plum tree, with blossoms right at her waist level. She raised her hand and plucked a red plum blossom. Her jade-like fingertips, contrasted against the red plum, seemed to emit a faint halo, looking pure and flawless.

Percy Stanton held his mobile phone and suddenly crouched down. As he gazed at the girl in the plum forest, he was lost in thought for a long while. Then, he took a photo of Isabel holding his mobile phone.

At that same moment, it seemed as if Isabel felt something. She turned her head directly towards Percy’s phone. Then, just as Percy was about to press the shutter button, the two of them looked at each other across the mobile phone, each gazing at the other.

Percy’s mobile phone had a very high-resolution screen, and the image was enlarged to the maximum. He could clearly see Isabel’s glass-like black eyes, which were filled with a gleaming brilliance, as if looking directly into his heart.

During this time, he had always been avoiding her, especially her eyes. But now, with this mobile phone seemingly shielding his shame and guilt, he allowed himself to take a good, clear look at her eyes.
