Chapter 1499: Lemons in the church
Although western buildings like churches were not uncommon in big cities in China, they could not be compared to Europe and the United States in terms of scale, aura, design, or historical heritage. They might even have some humiliating history in recent history. For people traveling abroad to Europe and America for the first time, they would feel fresh and excited when they saw the magnificent cathedrals. After all, most of the cathedrals were similar.
However, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco was an exception because this Cathedral was very open, not the kind that opened its doors to welcome guests, but that this Cathedral was as inclusive as the city of San Francisco. In contrast to the common sense that science and religion were at loggerheads, you could even see United Nations murals, aids wors.h.i.+ps, and even Einstein’s relativistic formulas in this Cathedral …
The grace Cathedral wasn’t only open to Christians. No matter what religion you believed in, no matter if you believed in it or not, you were free to enter and pray. What was important wasn’t which G.o.d you prayed to in which religion, but the prayer itself and the peace of the heart that came from it.
So this was a church that had nothing to do with faith.
It was this open, tolerant, and progressive att.i.tude that made the church a Holy Land for different countries, different skin colors, and different believers.
In addition to being open-minded, the church itself was also very open. Most of the areas were open to tourists, but because someone was holding a wedding here today, some areas were left for the newlyweds to hold the ceremony.
When Zhang Zian slowly parked his car near the entrance, he happened to see the couple walking out of the church hand in hand. He was dumbfounded because the couple … Were two girls. Although one was wearing a men’s suit and the other was wearing a wedding dress, he could still tell that they were two girls, and they were both quite beautiful.
This kind of scene, which would have been on the news in China, was common here. The relatives and friends of the two girls sprinkled flowers and sent them their sincere blessings with smiles on their faces.
“Meow meow meow! Beautiful Lily! Lily wonder! Lilies are great!” Snowy Lionet was excited.
“It’s just that I can’t give birth. ” Zhang Zian said.
Snowy Lionet glared at him and said,”Your Majesty, why don’t we hold the ceremony here today?”
Richard patted Zhang Zian’s head with his wings and comforted him,””There are two more single men in the world now, and one of them might be you … But it doesn’t matter. Even if you change, you won’t change. Your s.e.xual orientation depends on your s.e.x gland. Why don’t you and the other one …”
Zhang Zian waved his hand and smacked it away.”What’s all this nonsense!”
He was here to find new elves, not to eat lemons!
After a little a.n.a.lysis, it was clear that this church was most likely the place where elves lived in the vicinity of n.o.b mountain, which was covered by the light. This was the case in all senses, and the possibility was far higher than other buildings.
The only problem was that when he first saw the church, he wondered if it was an elf related to Christianity. However, when he thought that Grace Church was an open and inclusive church, he was not so sure because it would open its doors to people of all kinds of beliefs.
He opened the door and got out of the car, pretending to be a tourist who had never seen the world. He took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the two girls ‘wedding scene, but in fact, he was looking for the elfin.
He was not the only tourist or local who was watching the show like him. The tourists from more conservative countries were even more stunned and even pointed excitedly. In contrast, he was not conspicuous among the onlookers, but the problem was that the main entrance of the church was occupied by the wedding crowd, so he could not enter for the time being.
The phone scanned the crowd at the entrance of the church. He was suddenly stunned, as if he saw an familiar figure in the crowd, and quickly pulled the camera back.
The man who appeared in the crowd was wearing an ordinary suit, so he didn’t notice at first. Now that he took a closer look, wasn’t that father Chris yang?
Ever since they had met and parted on the plane, he had thought that he would never have the chance to meet this Chinese priest again. He did not expect to meet him here. Of course, that time in the dream did not count.
Thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising. Wasn’t it normal for a priest to appear near the church? This could be considered his job.
However, father yang was not as calm as he was on the plane, but he was looking around in the crowd, with a worried look, as if he was looking for someone or something.
Zhang Zian decisively decided that since he had encountered it, he could not let it go. Perhaps father yang could help him get into the church.
“Father yang!”
He put down his mobile phone, flashed past the pedestrians and tourists coming and going, waved to father yang, and quickly walked over.
Suddenly hearing Chinese in an English environment, and calling his name, father yang was also stunned. Because he was wearing casual clothes at this time, those who could recognize him must be acquaintances, at least people who had seen him recently.
“Father yang, h.e.l.lo, do you still remember me?”
Zhang Zian walked to the side and asked with a smile, pointing to his face.
“Of course! Mr. Zhang, did you have a good time in San Francisco?”
Father yang was not perfunctory, but he really recognized Zhang Zian. He smiled and waved in response. He and Zhang Zian had a very good conversation on the plane. If he was not in an urgent matter now, he would be happy to say a few more words.
“Thanks to you, I had a good time. I also saw coyotes two days ago, and it’s just like you said. Coyotes aren’t afraid of people at all, and they even attack pet dogs.”
Zhang Zian observed his expression and saw that father yang had something in his heart and didn’t want to talk about it. But he also had something to do. He couldn’t just let go of the only acquaintance on the scene. He could only pretend to be carefree and simply describe Zhou Jing’s morning run when she was almost attacked by coyotes.
Father yang politely and appropriately replied with a few words, but his mind was not here. His eyes swept around from time to time, and even the topic of coyotes did not bring his mind back.
“It’s so lively here! Tsk, two pretty girls together, really … Sigh! What should I say? You don’t have to worry about scarcity, but uneven distribution!” Zhang Zian sighed. This was not an act. He changed the topic to the church itself,”father yang, are you here … To inspect the work or to visit your colleagues? Or was he hosting a wedding? Do you know those two girls? Do they have any other close friends they can introduce to me?”
Father yang pondered a little and shook his head,””Neither. I just happened to come here.”
He didn’t want to lie, but he couldn’t just tell Zhang Zian the truth because he didn’t know what had happened. He could only be perfunctory.
