Chapter 432: Two wishes, cannot be satisfied at once

After the quarrel at the head of the bed and the reconciliation at the end of the bed, Lin Li and Bai Bufan soon hooked shoulders and backs again, walking into the church intimately.

Neither of them looked back at the girls.

It wasn't that they didn't want to pay attention, mainly because when the two were moving hands on each other, the girls didn't say they were persuading the fight, but chose to distance themselves at the first opportunity, pretending not to know the two, and then took a big C-shaped route to enter the church directly.

Saying they sold teammates meant they sold teammates, not silver-winged at all. Is this for real?

"Lin Li, remember to be tough after entering the church, don't lose face. This is a very critical node, determining our treatment." Approaching the entrance iron gate of the church's main building, Bai Bufan reminded in a low voice.

"Is there any saying?" Lin Li asked without shame.

"I heard that as long as you act as the host instead of the guest when entering the church, you will be worshipped by the people inside." Bai Bufan was slightly mysterious, telling the secret he learned in a low voice.

Lin Li's eyes lit up, it seems to make some sense!

Action is better than heart!

"Hey, buddy, this church is mine. The ticket is fifty today. WeChat or Alipay?" Lin Li turned his head, reached out to stop a random unlucky young man, took out his phone to show the payment code, and ordered coldly.

Passerby: "?"

Before the other party could start the "your mother" starter, Bai Bufan had already stepped forward, his arm tightly locking Lin Li's neck, forcibly dragging him into the church, not forgetting to turn his head while dragging, his face full of apologetic smiles:

"Sorry buddy, my friend was sent to the veterinary hospital by his mother when he had a high fever as a child, resulting in incomplete brain development and completely undeveloped cerebellum. Understand, understand—"

Bai Bufan felt that the girls' decision to abandon him and Lin Li and run first was simply genius, too wise.

If it were him, he would run too.

Crossing the ancient iron gate, he officially stepped into the church area.

After walking a few steps, stepping into the church building, he could see the holy water pool. Because today is an open day, there are many non-church personnel, and many people are curious about this, including Chen Yuying and the others, who are also queuing up to experience it.

Standing next to him was a gentle administrator, who was introducing:

"Touching holy water can cleanse the body and mind and commemorate baptism. We welcome everyone to touch the holy water, but there is actually no need to draw the sign of the cross like our believers. But if you want to experience it, we don't stop it. The only requirement is to please follow the standard movements and sincerely recite the prayer in your heart."

Lin Li and Bai Bufan didn't go up.

They really couldn't be pious.

The two who had been poisoned by the Internet didn't have very sacred things in their brains when they heard the word holy water.

The two took advantage of this time to walk inside along the moving line, bypassed the stone wall behind the holy water pool, and the main sanctuary of the church opened up.

There were many people inside at the moment, men, women, old, and young, bustling.

This was only at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I didn't expect that there would be so many believers in Catholicism in this county of Nansang.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Many aunts are willing to believe you as long as you are willing to give them eggs, and then first believe to drive later believe.

These believers are not praying now, but singing under the guidance of a church person.

However, the lyrics are not Chinese or English, but judging from the tune, it should be a Christmas carol, and it is currently being rehearsed.

Took an introduction flyer at the door, scanned the QR code, and the phone immediately displayed the detailed map of the church.

To the left of the main sanctuary is the temporary theater, activity room, and office; to the right is the statue of the Virgin Mary and... the confessional.

When seeing this word, the gazes of the two focused on each other's faces at the same time, and then tacitly turned to the right.

There was indeed a room marked as a confessional, the door was closed tightly now, and two people were sitting on the bench opposite the door, not knowing if they were waiting.

"Pity."

"I searched, and only the priest listens to confession, there is no sexy big sister in a nun's habit. Theoretically, nuns can't even enter the confessional. Sigh, the Internet is all a lie."

Bai Bufan, who quickly took out his phone to search, said dejectedly after a while, as if his fantasy had been shattered.

"That's a pity," Lin Li shook his head regretfully, "Otherwise I really want to go in and repent."

"Yeah, I have done many evils in my life, I really need to repent well." Bai Bufan agreed deeply.

"What are you two going to repent for?"

The girls finished experiencing the sign of the cross and happened to walk over. Chen Yuying heard this and couldn't help but laugh, asking with a curious smile.

Then, it seemed to be worried that the two would say too much, Ding Sihan hurriedly added: "Just say one that we haven't heard before, one, one is enough."

Lin Li: "I once turned my grandmother's phone brightness to the lowest and then asked her for money to repair it."

Bai Bufan: "I once added sleeping pills and laxatives to a roommate surnamed Zhou's water cup at the same time, and then while he was pooping while sleeping, I sprinkled glass fiber and itching powder on his back at the same time, so that after he woke up, he found that if he didn't scratch, it was itchy to death, and if he scratched, it was painful to death."

Chen Yuying, Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu: "..."

Sometimes it's really hard to explore where the moral bottom line of these two people is.

Satan: You two are a bit too extreme.

"Really only need to listen to one? We have many more.

I looked at it, this confessional needs to be reserved, and one use can only repent with the priest for fifteen minutes. To be honest, it's a bit looking down on people."

Lin Li curled his lips according to the information he got on his phone.

Fifteen minutes, are you kidding? If it spreads out, foreigners will think that the local Catholicism doesn't repent! Lin Li says a number, one repentance for fifteen hours!

"Then it's better to restrain a little." Chen Yuying shook her head with a smile.

"Fine," Lin Li followed the advice and looked at the girls, "Where are we going next?"

"The DIY activity is in the activity room, but don't rush, it's fine to go later," Chen Yuying also looked at the map, her gaze moving on the screen, "We can pass through the main hall first and go to the courtyard garden behind to see, that side is the charity sale venue."

The crowd had no objection, so they walked straight through the solemn and solemn main hall and went around from the back door. The eyes opened up, and it was a warm and cute courtyard.

The Christmas tree that wasn't seen at the front door was indeed standing here.

It was a spruce that wasn't high but definitely not short, about two meters tall, almost exceeding the height of all vegetative people in the hospital.

On this point, the church big win win win.

The tree had been carefully hung with flashing colored lights and various decorations, and a classic golden star at the top was shining in the sun.

Many packaged gift boxes were scattered under the tree, and two staff members were registering something next to them.

"Hello, may I ask what this is for?" The five people asked curiously.

"Oh, this is a love station for exchanging and giving Christmas gifts," a kind-faced volunteer aunt explained with a smile:

"As long as you bring a Christmas gift in advance and hand

"What if some people are born bad seeds and intentionally send things that aren't even gifts, or even vulgar and terrifying junk?" Bai Bufan projected his own thoughts onto others, filled with worry.

"Exactly. There are many people in this world who look handsome, dashing, sunny, and cheerful, but are actually dark as hell inside." Lin Li projected his own thoughts onto others, deeply agreeing with Bai Bufan's concerns.

"We have naturally taken that into consideration," the two aunts smiled at each other. "In reality, regardless of whether the gift is already wrapped, we must confirm the specific contents of the gift."

"First, just as you are worried about, we must ensure it is truly a gift that can bring joy to others—"

Wait, is it an illusion?

Why did the two aunts feel that after saying this, the light in the eyes of the two boys in front of them immediately went out, becoming dull and listless?

Hiss—why don't these two look like good people?

"... Second, we will suggest that those who send particularly high-value gifts exchange them for something else." After a hesitant pause, the two aunts continued their introduction:

"This is because we don't want the gift exchange to carry too many considerations of profit.

Many young children participate in this activity, and the gifts they bring might just be a box of paints, a small doll...

If someone receives their gift on Christmas and feels like they 'lost out,' that would run counter to our original intention, so this point needs to be clarified in advance."

"That's an activity with a lovely meaning," Qu Wanqiu nodded, some interest in her eyes, but then she looked at Lin Li: "However, only you, Lin Li, will be free on Christmas Day, and this place isn't on the way from your home or the school..."

"That's nothing, just a few more pedals on the bike. If you want to participate, then participate. I'll just bring it to you guys when the time comes; don't worry about whether I'm tired or not."

Lin Li immediately waved his hand to interrupt Qu Wanqiu's words, his tone relaxed.

Lin Li had long been used to being used as a day-student beast of burden for Class Four; as for those in the back row, the number of times they had eaten school breakfast over the course of a semester probably didn't exceed twenty.

"It doesn't have to be picked up on the day; coming to get it on the weekend is also fine," the other aunt added with a smile.

"Can this 'squeeze toy' serve as a gift? It's quite fun and relieves stress. I just unwrapped it today, it's very new, and it's not worth much money." Ding Sihan rummaged through her small crossbody bag, took out a palm-sized squeeze toy, and asked.

"Of course you can," the two aunts nodded immediately. Seeing Ding Sihan hand it over, one reached out to take it and began to register it, while the other handed Ding Sihan a piece of cardstock: "Miss, if it's not too much trouble, please write a blessing and a message for the person who will receive the gift.

Then, tell us what kind of gift you would like and what kind you hope not to receive."

"We can even make wishes?" Lin Li looked at the aunt in surprise upon hearing this. "Isn't it just a gift exchange?"

"After all, we know what everyone's gifts are, and we will try our best to match them so that everyone can happily receive their gifts. If a little boy received a Barbie doll, he certainly wouldn't be happy, right?" the aunt explained patiently.

Lin Li realized, and nodded.
