The sky in Beijing has never been so blue; the air in Beijing has never been so fresh. The breeze is passing by, and the fragrance of flowers is floating. After not going out for a few days, is the pace of spring so urgent? Spring has really arrived...

…

Standing on the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, with the Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony at your feet, which can accommodate 70,000 people, and the vast sky above your head, surrounded by people you have been thinking about for twenty years, Tao Zi's heart suddenly melted.

It was filled to the brim, but the world in her eyes was empty. The bustling tourists seemed to no longer exist. There was only him in this world. His tall body and stern face were the best scenery she could look up to...

…

But, what was he contemplating? His eyes were always staring ahead, as if he was seeing a place far, far away, so far away that he had traveled through time and space, and passed through the crowd. Was he looking at something that could not be reached by her sight?

I don't know why, but a touch of sadness arose in my heart.

She was not afraid of his anger, not afraid of his black face, but she was afraid that he would lose sight of her... She was afraid that in the scenery he saw, the person smiling was not her...

She wants to bring his leader back!

With a smile, she gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice, "Chief, I really want to write here that Taotao came here..."

A certain leader, whose thoughts were far away, was obviously shocked by her. He immediately came back to his senses, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared on his face, "Are you stupid or crazy? No!"

Tao Zi smiled slightly, flashed slyly, stood upright with a snap, and saluted a military salute, "Yes! Chief! Xiao Taozi obeys the order!"

He frowned, what is all this?

"Live treasure!" He scolded softly.

Tao Zi squinted his eyes and laughed, "Thank you for the compliment, Chief!"

Ning Zhenqian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and continued to climb the steps, blending into the crowd of people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

She was about to catch up when a breeze blew. Tao Zi felt like something was hit on the top of his head. He lowered his head to look for it and saw a bodhi seed at his feet. No, several more fell down right after.

She felt a little strange. She had read an introduction about the Forbidden City. There were no flowers or trees in the Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Only the Hall of Yinghua had a Bodhi tree. Where did the Bodhi tree come from?

Tourists around her were walking in a hurry, and several times someone almost stepped on the Bodhi seed. Perhaps influenced by the verse "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand", she always has a pilgrim-like respect for Bodhi, fearing that others

After trampling on these bodhi seeds, which seemed to her to be quite spiritual, she immediately knelt down to pick them up.

After picking up almost everything, a pair of men's shoes appeared in front of me.

Very elegant shoes and trousers with excellent fabrics. From this alone, you can infer that this person is good.

"It's you again?" A familiar male voice sounded above the head.

It's him.

She had a unique memory for sounds and remembered that the owner of this voice was Luo Dongqin...

Looking up, it turned out to be him.

Today he is dressed casually, with a beige coat and soft fabrics, very casual and lazy. The weather is fine, and the golden warm sun shines on him, adding a bit of freedom and sunshine to his elegant and handsome appearance.

She nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Do you like Bodhisattva?" he asked abruptly.

It turns out he saw himself picking up a bodhi tree...

She nodded again, "Yes." She said simple words, not wanting to communicate too much with unfamiliar people. After saying that, she was about to leave, but the leader had already disappeared. 13acv.

"Wait!" Luo Dongqin called her.

"Huh?" She looked at him in surprise. The first time she met him was in the bathroom of a restaurant. At that time, she thought he was a vulgar upstart second-generation playboy wearing a Rolex, and she didn't have a good impression. But later, she felt

He is not the kind of person she imagined. He is well-educated and treats others with a sense of distance. However, she has never thought deeply about what kind of person he is, because the only man she wants to think about is Ning Zhenqian.

"Can I... know your name?" Luo Dongqin asked inexplicably.

"Taozi." She told him after a moment's hesitation.

"Peach?" he repeated doubtfully.

"Yes, Tao Zi."

Jing Tianlan is also a person. He smiled. Bai Xi's face looked very beautiful in the sun. Maybe it was just a nickname and people didn't want to tell him his real name. Taozi, he silently recited these two words for no reason.

A word comes to mind - pink face and peach cheeks. Just like her current appearance, it is a very suitable name for her.

"Hello, Taozi. About this bodhi seed..."

"What are you doing?!"

Before Luo Dongqin finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden scolding, and the black man with a bad temper appeared next to her.

"Is that you?" Ning Zhenqian recognized the man talking to his wife.

"It's me." Luo Dongqin smiled slightly, very self-consciously.

The two men looked at each other again, one serious, one smiling, one tense, and the other handsome and indifferent.

"Let's go!" Ning Zhenqian's face turned dark, he lowered his head and said to her, then turned and left.

Tao Zi hurriedly followed him. When he caught up with him, he couldn't help but look back, only to see Luo Dongqin still standing by the white marble railing, smiling slightly in her direction. Seeing her turn around, he actually raised his hand and said to her

Indicate.

"Look back?!" A certain group leader was in a rage, and his observation skills were extremely sharp. When he saw that his wife was reluctant to leave, the anger that he had finally restrained was about to explode!

She trembled. Now, she has accumulated some experience and can basically distinguish when the leader is really angry and when he is fake anger. When his black face is harmless and when he cannot be angered again.

.

For example, now, don't mess with him anymore, otherwise you will die ugly...

She didn't dare to look back, so she followed him honestly, put the Bodhi seed in her pocket, and followed him deeper into the Forbidden City.

Luo Dongqin looked at her back until he couldn't see her anymore, then he looked away.

He couldn't finish what he said, but what he actually wanted to say was that he dropped the Bodhi seed...

He has a Bodhi seed beads bracelet, which is very important to him and he has worn it for many years.

Buddha beads are an object that works well if you believe it, but doesn't work if you don't believe it.

The person who gave him the beads once told him that when he saw the beads, it was as if he had seen her. There was no need to think about her anymore, and there was no need to be sad. The beads were with him for the rest of his life, and she was with him for the rest of his life.

He never thought that this string of Bodhi would break so easily.

However, in the crowd of people, he raised his hand to brush his messy hair, and the beads were disconnected. He didn't know it yet, but he still walked forward. He vaguely felt the discomfort in his sleeves. When he raised his hand to take a look, he realized that it made him

What was uncomfortable was the broken thread poking his wrist, and several Bodhi seeds had fallen off, including a few inside his sleeves.

He is not a believer in Buddhism, but he only pays attention to everything about the beads because of the person who keeps the bracelet. He knows how to deal with broken beads. What's more, this bracelet is so important to him.

So, he immediately went back to search and found her squatting on the ground picking up Buddhist beads.

It turned out that the one who passed by her just now was no wonder that the figure on the back seemed vaguely familiar, but he didn't bother to take a second look.

This woman has been interesting to me since the first time we met. It was just a chance encounter, so how could I take it to heart?

When they met at the banquet, he knew that she was a married woman and distanced himself from her. He didn't even bother to ask her name. He, Luo Dongqin, was also a proud person.

Unexpectedly, there would be a third meeting, and by such a coincidence, at the moment when his prayer beads were disconnected, the person beside him turned out to be her, and the person who picked up his beads was also her... It was really strange, why did she always

The person who found his stuff?

Someone once said, Dongqin, if one day this prayer bead is broken, don’t be sad. Maybe by then, you will have found someone to accompany you...

Ha... It can be seen that some words cannot be believed. The prayer beads are indeed broken. Where is the person accompanying him? It can't be the married woman named Taozi, right?

He smiled to himself and walked in the opposite direction.

Further ahead is the Gate of Supreme Harmony, then across the Jinshui Bridge, and then the Meridian Gate...

She enters the Forbidden City and he leaves the Forbidden City. They will never go the same way...

But what will she do with those bodhisattvas?

I hope she won't throw it away. I'll have to ask her to get it back next time...

Next time?

He laughed again.

Are there so many coincidences in life? In the vast China and the vast sea of ​​people, can we meet again and again?

Whatever...

"The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the beginning, so how can it be stained with dust"...

If you have Buddha in your heart, Buddha is everywhere; if you have someone in your heart, you will always think about it. Why should you stick to a string of beads? If it is broken, it is broken...
