The ancient temple with gray tiles and red beams surrounded by mountains and forests is very peaceful. Perhaps because it is located in the far suburbs, there are not many pilgrims even on Sundays. When you are here, you will quickly feel a sense of tranquility and forgetfulness of worldly affairs. Zhang Moyan's chaotic mood also calmed down here.

She didn't pray to the Buddha for romantic luck. She knew she had already ruined such a good thing, and the Buddha would never give it to her again. So she only made two wishes: one for peace, hoping Xiao Xingyu would be safe; the other for herself, hoping that she could be more mature, wise, and generous.

After worshipping the Buddha and Bodhisattva, several young colleagues enthusiastically wrote red prayer ribbons. Zhang Moyan was not interested and just sat in the shade waiting for them.

"Why don't you write one? Look at so many red ribbons tied under the male and female ginkgo trees. It means they must be very effective." Eric appeared from nowhere and sat next to her.

Zhang Moyan looked at her colleague, who was tying a red ribbon under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree known as the "Couple Tree," and smiled a little dully, "If true love could be found by writing a few words, that would be too easy."

Eric turned his head and glanced at her: "It's not the style of a beautiful woman to worry about love."

Zhang Moyan lowered her eyes and shook her head: "I do think it's really difficult. Sometimes we can't even stay with someone forever."

Eric didn't respond immediately after hearing this. After a while, he said, "Mo Yan, no one will always be with you, but there will always be someone by your side."

Zhang Moyan paused and looked at Eric in confusion.

Eric smiled slightly: "Although I can't empathize with you, I can be your best listener."

Zhang Moyan's confusion deepened. She had no idea what Eric was trying to say. After a while, the conversation was already awkward. She had no choice but to find another topic: "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, what do you want to ask?" Eric asked with interest.

"I just want to ask, why does an atheist like Epicurus appear in the study of such an idealistic subject as philosophy?" Zhang Moyan felt that this was an outstanding performance in her interpersonal communication record as she was good at finding topics and chatting with him in this way.

However, Eric was stunned for a moment, not sure whether he was surprised by her abrupt change of topic or was really surprised by the question she asked.

After a moment, Eric replied politely, "Perhaps it's because philosophy makes it clear that everything in the universe is temporary. The moment you realize there's no need to seek God, you naturally become an atheist."

How profound! Zhang Moyan chewed over his words thoughtfully, then expressed admiration with a half-understood expression: "So that's how it is."

Eric pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be too sad about a breakup. Life is like a journey. Some roads are one-way streets from the start, and some people are destined to be just passers-by in your life. I don't know how to comfort you, but I suggest you don't fall in love with someone again, especially someone who has let you down."

Zhang Moyan seemed to realize at this moment that Eric seemed to have misunderstood something. She was dumbfounded for more than ten seconds before quickly correcting herself, "That... Director, you're mistaken. It was me who broke up with my boyfriend. I'm the one who let him down. My boyfriend is a very good person."
