The Story That Followed 'Long Night'

A person you meet when you're young, so dazzling that they leave you spellbound, will bind you for the rest of your life.

For a lifetime? Wen Lin was exactly 20 the first time she met him. Now she was 33, and this year marked the thirteenth year they'd been entangled with each other.

This year, Wen Lin was 35 and Yang Qiannan was 43. It was the fifteenth year they'd been entangled with each other.

Perhaps they were finally due for a happy ending.

The day they got their marriage certificates, Wen Lin and Yang Qiannan flew back to Beijing and visited Puji Temple. Wen Lin asked Yang Qiannan to wait downstairs while she went in alone to offer incense. Afterward, when she came back down and saw Yang Qiannan, she called his name. He turned around and looked at her.

After all these years, she still loved how, amid the endless sea of people, the crowds, the smoke and noise, the bodhisattva's lowered gaze and the worldly hustle, he would instinctively turn around again and again, searching for her.

"Will they be happy?"

"I think they will."
