Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

The next day, as dawn broke, Jiang Wan and his group had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the winding mountain road, Jiang Wan felt a chill run down her spine.

Meanwhile, Lu Jingshi, who was surrounded by admirers, remained calm and occasionally looked back to see if she had caught up.

Originally, the organizers of the mountain climbing event only invited Lu Jingshi.

However, some people heard that Lu Jingshi had another event to attend, so they volunteered to participate together.

So what should have been a small event for just a few people turned into a team-building activity for more than thirty people.

Lu Jingshi's plan to take the cable car was abandoned because there were too many people following him and he was concerned about his reputation.

Jiang Wan could only walk, following behind them.

The girls who shared a seat with Jiang Wan yesterday also stayed.

At this moment, they were lagging behind Jiang Wan, chattering away.

"Attorney Jiang, Attorney Lu is so handsome! I wish I could work with Attorney Lu every day. How wonderful that would be!"

"Yeah, you looked so handsome in your suit yesterday that everyone screamed, but today you're even more stunning in your sportswear. My god, I want to talk to you."

Lu Jingshi, who was ahead, seemed to have heard something and turned around. His dark blue sportswear added a touch of sunshine to his cool and aloof temperament.

It makes it even more captivating.

"Ah! Attorney Lu, look over here! This outfit is so beautiful, it looks incredibly expensive. How can someone be so handsome, rich, professional, and top-notch!"

"Huh? I just noticed that Director Lu and Attorney Jiang's clothes... seem to be... the same style but different colors."

Jiang Wan said with a bitter face, "I didn't want to either, but who knew the boss would suddenly decide to add to the itinerary? I had to buy it on the spot."

Yesterday, Lu Jingshi suddenly decided to go hiking.

After dinner, the two of them searched all the nearby shopping malls before finally managing to buy the brand he usually wore.

"Sigh, that's just how it is. But Director Lu has been very kind; he didn't take advantage of your work for nothing and was even willing to let you get some exposure."

"Attorney Jiang," the round-faced girl shoved her phone into Jiang Wan's hand, "I'll quietly walk a few steps forward, and you can take a picture of Attorney Lu and me from the perspective of a couple on a date."

Jiang Wan was in a dilemma. How could she possibly capture a romantic perspective with dozens of people like this?

The round-faced girl blinked: "I'll just Photoshop them out in post-production."

She quietly followed him, and when she was not far from Lu Jingshi, she quickly struck a pose.

Jiang Wan frantically searched for several angles and snapped a series of photos.

"Look, is any of this usable?"

The round-faced girl was beaming with joy.

"It works! These photos are really good. I'll edit them and post them on WeChat Moments. Who can tell if it's a real conversation or just a fake one?"

Another girl with a ponytail covered her mouth and laughed.

"I checked Lawyer Lu's alternate account. It seems he only had one girlfriend, and he's been single for five years since they broke up. When he's drunk, he posts emo messages on his alternate account, which clearly shows he can't forget her."

Jiang Wan had a sudden thought and looked ahead, only to be met with a pair of eyes as black as ink.

"Tired?"

Jiang Wan shook her head: "I can keep up."

Lu Jingshi nodded without saying anything more, but it was obvious that he slowed down, and the others followed suit.

Before long, Jiang Wan and the others caught up with the main group.

Ahead is a small slope, and at the top of the slope is the very efficacious temple that the organizers mentioned.

A hand suddenly reached out. Jiang Wan looked up, but Lu Jingshi didn't turn around. Instead, he continued to talk quietly with the person next to him.

But his left hand reached out from behind him and was presented to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan looked at the height of the slope, then offered her her hand, letting Lu Jingshi pull her up.

The assistants, who had been chattering away just moments before, all fell silent.

Only those beautiful eyes sparkled with shock and gossip.

At the end of the slope stood a temple, its gate half-open, but there was no bustling activity or the sound of incense burning.

Only gray tiles, green onion wood, and white walls.

Even small temples and monasteries have courtyards that can be seen at a glance, but the darkness hidden around the corner makes you want to take another step inside.

"Guanghua Temple".

Jiang Wan read it aloud softly.

The name does match the scenery.

"Attorney Lu, is this the very efficacious temple I mentioned? Shall we go in and offer our prayers?"

Lu Jingshi shook his head: "Climbing mountains is fine."

The organizer gave him a knowing look: "I know you don't believe in this, but it's all part of traditional culture. Aren't you going in to offer your prayers?"

Lu Jingshi refused again; "It's up to us to make things happen, don't look to outsiders. I won't go in and disturb the peace of the Taoist sect. Please go ahead."

He finished speaking and started walking forward, but then paused, realizing that when he pulled Jiang along that night, their hands had never separated.

He was about to leave, but Jiang Wan remained standing.

"I...want to go take a look?"

Lu Jingshi's brows twitched slightly, and he released her.

"madness."

Seeing that Lu Jingshi was not going, some people chose to stay and accompany him, while a small group went into the temple.

Guanghua Temple may not look big from the outside, but it is a hidden paradise inside.

Upon entering, you'll find the main hall, with two dark corridors on either side, their destinations unknown.

There were only a few young monks in the temple, with their hair tied in topknots and wearing shoes with the ten directions on their feet, who politely welcomed people in.

Jiang Wan knelt on the prayer mat and prayed to the statue of the Three Pure Ones from top to bottom, not letting go of any of the people she cared about.

The main goal is for Wang Yiran to become rich overnight, and for the branch office to soar to new heights.

"Girl, write a marriage card and hang it under that tree over there. It's very effective."

The young master handed over a piece of red paper. Jiang Wan looked around and saw some people writing with their heads down, while others carefully hung their finished papers on the branches of trees in the courtyard.

She shook her head: "Leave it for those who need it more."

She left the main hall and headed down a side path.

After turning the corner at the end, the backyard suddenly opens up, and a simple little house stands quietly on the edge of the cliff.

Hearing footsteps, someone came out of the house.

He was an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, his eyes pure and innocent, giving him an air of otherworldly wisdom.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know this was the Taoist priest's courtyard. I've wandered in by mistake. I'm sorry, I'll leave right away."

Jiang Wan quickly apologized and made a move to turn and leave.

"Wait, it's fate that we met. Since you've found your way here, I'll give you a word. What do you want to know?"

Character divination?

Jiang Wan knew that people always had some temper, so since he said he would give it to her, she would accept it.

Don't break the rules and upset people.

She stretched out her finger and wrote the character for "time" in the air: "...Let's see how fate brings us together."

The Taoist priest closed his eyes and calculated for a while before opening them.

"The character '时' (shí) can be broken down into '日' (rì) and '寸' (cùn). This character indicates that the karmic connection has been severed, and it signifies a state of death."

Jiang Wan gasped, feeling a tightness in her chest, as if a wet cotton ball was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard: "Unfortunately, some people are too obsessed and insist on forcing things."

Jiang Wan didn't understand what he meant and wanted to ask again, but the old Taoist priest turned around and opened a small door to the side.

"Our fate has run its course. Leave now."

Jiang Wan thanked him sullenly and walked out. After a few steps, she saw a dark blue figure standing not far away.

She asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Jingshi said coolly, "Let's enjoy the scenery."

Inside the room, the old Taoist priest returned and poured a cup of unfinished tea onto the floor along with the book.

Then he picked up a piece of white paper from the table, on which was a large character “晚” (evening).
