A Gentle Reassurance

The night of the farewell party, a set of the Four Treasures of the Study was delivered to the villa. All of Zhou Huaiyan's childhood friends assumed the old master of his family had ordered him to go inspect the countryside, and got drunk while seeing him off.

They never saw the chat on the screen glowing with a cold light.

--Cousin, my friend Shen Qing booked a B&B in your town. I think she also graduated from Shenzhen No. 1 High School.

Shen Qing went to the countryside to gather ingredients for incense. The first time she saw the B&B owner arriving in a Maybach to pick up a guest, she only thought he looked familiar. Later, she learned he had once written her a love letter.

On the day of the ancestral rites, Zhou Huaiyan was chosen as the "divine messenger" for helping the local medicinal herb economy flourish, and prayed for the villagers' blessings.

Dressed in a long white satin robe, the man gazed intently at her, tracing her features with his fingertips. He even broke his vow of silence to bless her: "May you have no worries, year after year."

Shen Qing froze. At last, she realized this was far from the first time she had seen him. Many years ago, on a rainy day, she had brought home a boy who had suddenly lost his hearing, and after caring for him devotedly, she had heard him offer the same blessing.

Later, beneath the prayer tree wreathed in incense smoke at Anming Temple, someone finally gave the answer that had been fourteen years overdue.

"Your coming doesn't count. Happiness is when you stay."

"Then please stay by my side from now on."

"If you're unhappy, you can tell me. I don't want anyone else comforting you."

--Zhou Huaiyan, age eleven.

"Then comfort me gently."

--Wen Yu, age twenty-six.
