Chapter 1: Encounters

Next Chapter

Luojiang, stunned, misty and rainy.

Rong Yan took an umbrella and went out, on the street outside the community gate, just as she wanted to take a taxi online, a cyan taxi stopped in front of her with passengers.

After the people in the car got down, Rong Yan got into the car, the driver's uncle was an enthusiastic person, she just got in the car and asked her with a smile, "Where is Miss going?" ”

Rong Yan smiled faintly and responded, "Go to Lingshan Temple." ”

She has a gentle voice, a gentle and beautiful appearance, very much like a classical and gentle Jiangnan woman, with black hair like a waterfall, small and delicate facial features, mountain eyebrows and watery eyes, a pair of apricot eyes are hazy and gentle, and they are like water.

The red lips were slightly curved, although she responded with a light smile, but there was no smile in her eyes, just a polite response, and the driver's uncle saw that she was not an active person, so he didn't bother anymore.

To get to Lingshan Temple, you have to walk up a thousand steps, but there are many pilgrims.

Many people say that this is more effective than other temples, and more and more young people come here over the years to pray for incense.

Rong Yan has lived in Luojiang since she was a child, she believes in Buddhism, and takes time to go to Lingshan Temple every year, since her grandfather moved back to her hometown in Xinan four years ago, Rong Yan has never been here.

As soon as I entered the Lin Shan Temple, I saw the smoke and the bell was crisp and melodious.

She stepped over the wooden door with an umbrella and walked down the path, turning to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance.

The man is long and elegant, tall as a pine, dressed in a well-dressed black suit, with a white shirt and tie, meticulous, and his cold and noble temperament is incompatible with the tranquility of the temple.

Wen Jingchu held a black long-handled umbrella, his eyebrows were calm, with a faint sense of alienation and coldness, his eyes were ahead, and he walked out with long legs, walking calmly.

A young man next to the incense burner was also dressed in a suit and holding a long umbrella, and when he saw Wen Jingchu coming over, he stood up straight, leaving a step behind him.

Probably Wen Jingchu's assistant.

She stood on the side, watching him go out, she hadn't seen him for a few years, she was still so cold, the difference was that her temperament was becoming more and more calm and introverted,

It wasn't until the figure disappeared from sight that Rong Yan moved his steps and turned into the path.

The trail leads to the inner Buddha Hall, and few people come here.

Wen Jingchu studied calligraphy with Mr. Rong in his early years, and for this reason, Rong Yan often saw Wen Jingchu in the Rong family's old house before he went to college.

It's just that she rarely talks to him, and when she meets, she just politely says hello, that's all.

But she knew that Wen Jingchu had never believed in gods and Buddhas.

He is the eldest son of Wen Yunsheng, who has been cultivated as the successor of the Wen family since he was a child, and has been given high expectations, and he has never disappointed.

A proud son like him has always been accustomed to being high above and holding his destiny firmly in his own hands.

Rong Yan studied in Xibei University, and during the winter vacation of her freshman year, she returned to Luojiang from Xibei and met Wen Jingchu at home.

Grandpa was taking a nap, and Wen Jingchu came to Rong's house and saw her sitting in the courtyard with the temple's blessing bag in her hand.

The afternoon sun was just right, sprinkled warmly in the courtyard full of flowers and plants, and it was the first time she spoke to Wen Jingchu for more than three minutes.

She still remembered that she suddenly asked him for some reason, "Wen Jingchu, do you believe in reincarnation in Buddhism?" ”

He replied crisply and neatly, "I don't believe it." ”

He prefers to grasp the present moment rather than believe in these so-called afterlives and reincarnations, but he also respects the beliefs of others.

It's just that he doesn't believe in Buddhism.

Don't believe in these ethereal things.

Rong Yan didn't feel any loss because of his answer, and respected his thoughts as Wen Jingchu respected her beliefs.

She studied medicine, and the heavier her schoolwork became in the future, the heavy study pressure overwhelmed her, and she was studying hard during the winter and summer vacations.

And Wen Jingchu is also slowly taking over the family business, and Rong Yan rarely sees him again.

It's just that people who have never believed in gods and Buddhas are here?

Thinking back, Rong Yan put away the umbrella and met Master Yungui in the inner Buddhist hall.

"I haven't seen you for four years, don't the donor come to harm?"

Rong Yan returned the salute slightly, "It's good, the tired master is worried." ”

As before, she had a fast meal at Lin San Monastery and then copied the scriptures, and before she knew it, a long time passed.

Rong Yan turned his slightly sore neck and put aside the scripture that had been copied.

There were many fewer pilgrims walking around the temple than at noon, Rong Yan got up, took his things and prepared to go back, only then did he look at his mobile phone, it was already more than four o'clock.

Shen Qingran sent her a message an hour ago and asked, "Xiaoxiao, when are you coming over?" Do you want me to have someone pick you up? 】

The Shen family is also a scholarly family, her grandfather has a good relationship with Old Man Shen, she and Shen Qingran have known each other since childhood, and they are one of the few friends she can make heart-to-heart friends.

Today is the birthday of Shen Qingran's husband Xie Heng, and I invited a friend I knew to celebrate at home.

Rong Yan doesn't like to be lively, and rarely attends such gatherings.

She replied to Shen Qingran's message, [I'll arrive around six o'clock, I'll just go over by myself, don't pick it up.] 】

When Rong Yan came to the Tingshui villa area, she was holding a bottle of precious red wine in her hand, and as soon as she arrived at the door of the villa, she saw Shen Qingran waiting for her.

Shen Qingran was enthusiastic and lively, as soon as they met, Rong Yan was hugged by her, "Xiaoxiao, I'm about to kill you, the last time we met was when I got married, it's been four years." ”

She smiled crookedly, hugged Shen Qingran back, and teased, "I'm too busy, I made a stupid choice of clinical medicine at the beginning." ”

I really can't spare time to go back to Luojiang......

The sky was drizzling again, and Shen Qingran hurriedly walked into the villa with Rong Yan.

When they walked inside, the two met Wen Shuze, the second son of the Wen family, who was answering the phone outside the door.

Wen Shuze was stunned when he saw Rong Yan, and he didn't hear what his eldest brother said on the phone.

He asked her with a surprised smile, "When did Sister Rongyan return to Luojiang?" ”

Rong Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and replied to his words, "I just came back the day before yesterday." ”

"Are you planning to stay in Luojiang?"

She nodded, "Well, I am newly recruited to the First Affiliated Hospital of Luojiang Medical University." ”

"What a coincidence, I also work there, and I didn't expect that we would be colleagues in the future."

Wen Shuze stretched out his hand and smiled enthusiastically, "Hello new colleague." ”

He is still the same as before, although his appearance is much more mature than before, and his eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to his eldest brother, but his temperament is still cheerful and lively.

With a little bit of ...... Two.

Wen Shuze has always been a sunny and cheerful person, and seeing him makes people feel happy inexplicably.

Rong Yan was amused by him and laughed, and stretched out his hand to shake him, "Hello." ”

Wen Shuze is the attending physician of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, and she is a resident of obstetrics and gynecology who has just completed regular training, with different departments and different titles.

He turned his head to look at Shen Qingran again, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I have to go back to the hospital for something." ”

After watching them enter, Wen Shuze rang that he was still talking to his eldest brother on the phone just now, and quickly glanced at his mobile phone.

The call continued, and he said with a smile, "Brother, I thought you hung up the phone, what did you just say, I didn't pay attention to it, by the way, I saw Sister Rong Yan, she actually worked in the same hospital ......as me."

Wen Shuze still wanted to chatter, but was ruthlessly interrupted by his eldest brother.

The voice on the other end of the phone was low and pleasant, but with a hint of coldness, "I can hear you." ”

Wen Shuze changed the topic again, "Brother, I have something in the hospital, Lao Xie's thirtieth birthday, this guy rarely celebrates his birthday, if you don't come, I have to go back to the hospital again, I'm not embarrassed." ”

Then he asked with a little loss, "Brother, are you really not coming?" ”

On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of a book turning and a light touch on a wooden desk.

It is estimated that his eldest brother is in the study at home.

After a while, Wen Shuze heard Wen Jingchu's answer, only three words, "Arrive late." ”
