Lijiang is a magical place; it seems that everyone who goes there when they are down on their luck always gains something, including love!
I replied, "Go have fun without worry. If your friend needs any help, I'll do my best... As for the room rate, forget it... It's peak season now, and there's no worry about it being sold. There's no need to go against my conscience and make extra money off you."
The other person was clearly in a good mood, and she replied, "Haha... A man as righteous and responsible as you deserves a woman's admiration. She didn't misjudge you!"
"Her?...What do you mean!"
"My friend, I think I told her about you, so that's why she said you're a righteous and responsible man... You'll be meeting soon, have a good chat... Maybe, things will take a turn for the better."

Finally, I spotted a woman pulling a white suitcase at a stall selling travel souvenirs. Although her back was to me, it was definitely her. I pushed through the crowd and hurried toward her, afraid that if I delayed, she would be lost in the throng again.
In my haste, I bumped into a woman pulling a white suitcase. Before I could even apologize, her face pierced my heart. I couldn't believe my eyes, and I couldn't believe that the woman standing before me was Lu Jia, the woman who had appeared in my mind a thousand times, yet whom I hadn't seen in so long…
She was wearing a beige coat and blue shoes, looking much the same as before, except that she had cut her hair short.
