Oh, Teacher, this bond of yours is one of swallows flying apart to opposite ends of the earth, each in a different corner of the world. How am I supposed to find her?!
But after studying Qin Fangyang carefully for a long while, Zuo Xiaoduo faintly sensed that, amid the estrangement of this bond, a few threads still clung, like fibers joining a severed lotus root. Those ties were simply too frail to sustain it.
Zuo Xiaoduo pondered for two seconds, then said, "Teacher Qin, write a character for me to look at."
Chapter 78: This Heart Is Like the Bright Moon, Lighting Your Path Each Night!
"Write a character?"
Qin Fangyang knew Zuo Xiaoduo intended to divine his fortune from the character. Without wasting words, he took a sheet of white paper, wrote a character with a few swift strokes, and handed it over.
He finished it in a single flourish.
"Qian."
Zuo Xiaoduo took the paper, examined it carefully, and could not help sighing again.
"Teacher Qin, it's not impossible if you insist on finding her. But I fear the final outcome will leave you bitterly regretting it. Your love runs deep, but your destined bond is shallow. Do not force it."
"What do you mean?"
"芊-this is clearly a woman's given name. And this character alone already bodes ill for the road ahead."
"The character 芊 has 'grass' at its top, and its meaning conveys delicacy. Taken together with your years of fruitless searching, this suggests that you're seeking a frail woman hidden among the grasses. One blade of grass lost in a grassland-searching for her would be no different from fishing a needle out of the ocean. It would be all but impossible."
"And that is only the most superficial reading of the character."
Qin Fangyang
