At that moment, Leng Leng, who had been out trying to lift her spirits after a recent breakup with her childhood friend, happened to pass by the parking spaces along the road.
They were playing rock-paper-scissors; the winner got to decide which way to turn at the next street corner, and they would stop at every convenience store along the way to buy and finish a bottle of alcohol. The boy was already half-drunk, but having accompanied her parents to social functions since childhood, Leng Leng had a high tolerance and remained perfectly sober. They strolled along with their arms draped over each other’s shoulders.
Leng Leng’s gaze happened to fall on a black car parked under a tall palm tree. Through the half-open window, she saw Shen Lingjun sitting inside. Her heart skipped a beat. She had been thinking all day about how wonderful it would be to run into him; if he saw her looking so beautiful tonight, perhaps he would be moved. She never expected her persistent thoughts to be answered so quickly. Was this a sign from the heavens telling her not to give up, that they were fated to be together?
