Could it be that - he was teasing her?
As soon as this idea came to her mind, she felt a little buzz in her heart, but she immediately suppressed it in her mind. Calm. They are monks. The four words "clear rules and precepts" are not decorations. And you have only known each other for less than a day. He is purely curious, and you are purely overthinking.
But she couldn't hold back her second thought:
Today's monk is much more pleasing to the eye than those ordinary men in modern times who claim to be superior to others.
He saved her. He carried her back to the temple. He made medicine for her. He listened to her say a bunch of modern words that he didn't understand. He didn't roll his eyes, didn't look down upon her, didn't dislike her idealism, but asked each one seriously "what do they mean".
She hasn't seen anyone who is more willing to break the casserole and ask the truth than she is in a long time.
