During a painting trip, a chance encounter brought her to him.
He helped fix her easel, and she bought him a cup of green plum wine.
That evening, they walked a long way along the old town's cobbled streets.
On the Qixi Festival, they flew kites together in a meadow. She made a wish: “May everything I hope for come true.” He smiled and said, “I wish the same as you.”
She thought this was what love at its best looked like.
She had no idea that his world was different from hers.
The light you left behind is what I will spend my life pursuing.
