"What good man, what perfect match?" Yu Qianqian looked bewildered and even felt as if she had been tricked for no reason.
Not only did she fail to find anyone, but she was also completely baffled by an old Taoist priest. After saying that, she really didn't want to stand there like an idiot any longer.
The white-haired old Taoist priest suddenly became serious, fiddling with his five fingers and saying earnestly, "Hmm... I've done some calculations, and the good man the young lady is looking for is under the plum tree in the temple that is blooming the most profusely."
Wow...that sounds amazing.
Yu Qianqian looked closely at his serious expression and immediately became interested. She opened her mouth, about to ask "Really?", but in the blink of an eye, the person in front of her disappeared like a gust of wind.
As she walked deeper into the Taoist temple, she kept thinking about the old Taoist's words. She followed a winding path and walked on and on. Before she knew it, she had walked further and further away, gradually circling around the foot of the mountain until she saw the end of the mountain path. Now she had arrived at a very spacious plum garden.
However, despite its beauty, there wasn't a single person in sight. She couldn't find Su Yu, nor could she see the so-called good man.
With a lift of her foot, she wandered aimlessly into the depths of the garden, each step leaving a deep footprint. She watched the snowflakes fall from the sky, layer upon layer, settling into the vibrant red sea of flowers. What met her eyes at that moment was an incomparably vivid contrast of white and color.
At this moment, Yu Qianqian had no mind to appreciate the scenery; she was just walking and complaining about how the old Taoist priest was disrespectful to his elders and easily fooled people.
As she was intently staring at the ground and talking to herself as she walked forward, she glanced up unintentionally and saw a tall, slender figure in white with silver hair standing sideways under the largest plum tree not far away.
Yu Qianqian stared intently at the figure, finding it increasingly familiar. She paused slightly, then continued walking, filled with questions. When she reached the plum tree, the white-clad, silver-haired man turned and smiled at her, softly calling out, "Qianqian..."
Suddenly hearing the sound, Yu Qianqian looked over and was stunned. She inexplicably thought of the good man the old Taoist priest had mentioned not long ago. She had to admit that the old Taoist priest was really a swindler. How could she have been so stupid as to fall for his trick?
She stared at Su Yu in disbelief for a long time, then covered her mouth and exclaimed in astonishment, "Su...Su Yu, how could it be you?"
Her flustered expression and unfocused gaze were clearly visible to Su Yu at that moment.
Just as Yu Qianqian was thinking of cursing this place and everyone here in her heart, and then just leaving this godforsaken place.
At this moment, Su Yu suddenly stepped forward, staring intently at her with an extremely strange expression. After a slight hesitation, a gentle smile slowly bloomed on his handsome face.
"We agreed to admire the plum blossoms together, why are you only arriving now?"
He feigned ignorance and pretended to be annoyed, glancing at Yu Qianqian from left to right, but in his heart he was already overjoyed.
Why the old Taoist priest at Changsheng Temple was full of lies today, and why Yu Qianqian came here—only he himself knows the whole story. This unprecedented act of lying and setting a trap for Yu Qianqian perfectly illustrates the origin of the saying, "A gentleman loves a beautiful woman, but he should marry her in a proper way."
