That day, while passing through Shaoxing, Meng Xun was dragged by a friend to burn incense at the Great Buddha Temple.
As it happened, the largest Buddha statue in Jiangnan was being restored. The courtyard was nearly empty, and there were hardly any other visitors besides them.
She had no interest in praying to gods or Buddha. She leaned against the stone railing outside the main hall, daydreaming. Then she happened to glance down and see Fu Jingcheng looking up at her from below the steps.
When they met again later, he had become a good friend of her uncle's.
Their eyes met. Meng Xun looked at him with complete unfamiliarity and simply greeted him as she would anyone else.
Fu Jingcheng looked down at her, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes.
After a long moment, he suddenly gave a soft laugh. "Going to pretend we don't know each other again?"
Meng Xun thought that for someone like Fu Jingcheng, saying he liked her was just a passing whim.
It took her a long time to learn that what she thought was their first meeting had, to him, been a long-awaited reunion.
