I fell into a deep sleep and had a dream, in which the fragrance of flowers wafted through the air and the bright moon hung in the sky. I sat opposite him under the lamp, talking about our past. Looking at his smiling eyes, I softly said, "Meeting you in Lin'an City was not a coincidence. The reason I could meet you is because I was waiting for you there." 0
 
 
When I was thirteen, I saw Zhuo Yan for the first time, it was in February during The Flower Festival. 0
 
It was still very cold at that time, and as I walked on the road, I exhaled puffs of white air from my mouth. 0
 
 
He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a crimson robe and a lotus jade crown on his head. He is handsome and elegant. 0
 
In the bustling street, he pats my head from behind, and when I turn around, he smiles and hands me a silk flower: "The apricot blossoms are sold out today, so I bought this one that looks a bit like an apricot blossom. Momo, you mischievous girl, I only went to buy a silk flower and you've already sneaked away again." 0
 
 
After he finished speaking, he placed a silk flower in my hair bun. It happened to be The Flower Festival that day, and all the young girls who had not yet reached adulthood would wear a mask. 0
 
For a moment, I hesitated to tell him that I had simply met a girl of similar age while out and about, and, tempted by her candied hawthorns, had exchanged hairstyles, clothing, and masks with her. 0
 
 
That night, he held my hand and wandered around Lin'an, released river lanterns, and had new clothes made. I secretly rejoiced in my heart that he had not discovered that I was not the girl he was looking for. 0
 
Little did I know, at midnight, he held me under the platform in the center of Lin'an City to release sky lanterns. As the sky lanterns ignited and flew off the ground, he suddenly leaned down and whispered in my ear, "You are not Momo, what is your name?" 0
 
 
I suddenly turned to look at him, reluctant to eat the candied haws he bought and not missing a single bead. sky lantern After burning, the tiny ashes fluttered. He protected my head with his sleeve and smiled, "You are not as obedient as Momo. Since we have met by fate, I will divine a fortune for you." 0
 
I nodded as if I understood, reached into the divination tube and randomly picked a stick. He took the stick, glanced at it, and smiled at me again, "You are destined to marry the champion in the Imperial Examination. Before meeting the champion in the Imperial Examination, you cannot marry." 0
 
 
The kerosene lamp burned out, one sky lantern after another went out. He hid the note in his sleeve and looked straight at me. When I turned around, I saw the girl who had tricked me with a string of candied haws waving to him behind the crowd. He patted my head and said, "Momo is here, I have to go." 0
 
After speaking, he hurriedly got up and left. I chased after him, but the crowd was so dense that I couldn't even touch his sleeve. 0
 
 
father sent someone to find me when I was thirteen years old. 0
 
From the second day, I started wearing white clothes and fell in love with white peach blossom. Many people know that there is a Hua Anan in Lin'an who has made a fortune with a golden abacus, and she is determined to marry a champion in the Imperial Examination. 0
 
 
After finishing speaking, I smiled and said to him, "For so many years, I've only wanted to marry you. I've been waiting for you to marry me since I was thirteen. 0
 
I've always wanted you to take me back to Lin'an City and visit The Flower Festival again. I don't want new clothes or river lanterns, I just hope you can accompany me one more time." 0
 
 
"Because the last time I was closest to you, it was under someone else's identity." 0
 
He patted my head and still smiled faintly, "Next February, I will accompany you to The Flower Festival again." 0
 
 
I'm very upset. That night, I cried and confessed my feelings, but all I got was a promise to travel together next year. Later, my cousin found out and sighed, "When did the clever person from Lin'an become like this because of Hua Anan?" 0
 
This is probably what it's like to be in love - when you meet that person, even you are no longer yourself. 0
 
 
The last glimmer of light fades from my mind, and it feels like all my past has vanished into darkness. 0
