Back For My Daughter

"What are those two doing anyway?"

"Yeah, they are just staring at each other so long, I can't even keep my eyes open for a minute and it's been like more than 10 minutes and they are staring in each other's eyes since then.

The few people who had seen Ye Qian and Yuan Meng walking and sitting just a few steps away from them started to wonder since Ye Qian and Yuan Meng had been staring at each other for a long time.

"Did you notice, the woman seemed to be afraid at first but now she is calm, but her head is covered in sweat!"

One of the girls in a group of students mumbles while looking at Yuan Meng.

"Hmmm."

"Could she be forced by that guy?"

"Should we call the security?"

The young man beside her quickly extended his hand into his pocket and tried to fish his phone out. But he was stopped by another girl beside him.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

While stopping the man, the girl asked with her lips pursed.

The group seemed to be more at the age of 20 or so and had come from their dorms and were classmates who had planned to go on an outing at the weekend.

"I am calling the security or the police, the man seemed a bit weird to me."

The young man narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ye Qian who was smiling at Yuan Meng while sitting in front of her.

"What is wrong, they were walking by the pavings just before, they are a couple that I know for sure."

The first girl shook her head.

"If you call someone then maybe it might only make their mood sour."

Another boy with them suggested while pointing at Ye Qian and Yuan Meng.

"But didn't you say that the woman is sweating, how can you be so sure that the two are a couple, maybe that man has forced that woman with some threat."

The boy who was being stopped by the two girls ranted.

"Well that might not be possible boy, they seemed to be doing something that requires great concentration."

The 9 students turned behind to see an old man wearing some traditional clothes and had a benevolent smile.

The old man seemed to be in his 70's and had a goatee while half of his head was bald and all of his hair white.

His skin was also wrinkled so much that people would think that he was dehydrated.

The students were confused at first upon seeing how could the old man be so specific but then try saw a prayer bead which the man was holding in his right hand.

The old man looked at the students and his smile widened.

"You must be thinking as to why I am so much confident?"

"Hmmm."

The old man continued to look at all of the students and seeing their nods he continued.

"I can't tell the specific reason as to why I can feel like that, but the energy of that lady seems like it is being transformed."

The monk smiled and glanced at Yuan Meng who's back seemed to be trembling and then at Ye Qian who had a calm serene expression on his face.

"I have never seen even the most enlightened monk to have such a serene face, it looks just like that of the Buddha."

The old man mumbled while he continued to the beads in his hand continued to move and recite some chants.

"Huh, do you understand a thing what the Monk said?"

The girls looked at each other in confusion and wondered while looking at Yuan Meng.

"What is energy, isn't it just the soul or spirit that we call, how can one transform it?"

One of the girls wondered, she seemed to be a bit knowledgeable in this and asked the monk.

"Hoho, little girl, you seemed to be interested in the teachings of the temples!"

The old man laughed aloud and patted the girl's head and chanted a few times before nodding.

"The energy and soul if completely different. That is what I have learned so far, as to how that lady there is able to change it, even I can only wonder in astonishment."

The old man turned in Yuan Meng and Ye Qian's direction and said with awe and respect in his eyes.

"So does Priest mean to say that woman is a Nun from a monastery and is highly diligent in religious practice and will be enlightened?"

The girl who was interested wondered.

"Little one, I am not a priest, I am just a follower of the path"

"I don't know, but I don't think that woman is a nun."

The old man chuckled lightly seeing the girl calling him as a priest and shook his head as he glanced at Yuan Meng again.

"Ohh."

The girl nodded while the others from her group seemed to be completely confused as to what the two were talking about.

"Do you really believe in these kinds of things even at this age?"

The boy mocked and opened his phone and dialled a number.

"Hey don't do anything that would anger them, or I don't know what the consequences would be?"

The old man shook his head and didn't know what to say to the young man.

'Young are really ignorant.'

He sighed but seeing that the boy was adamant about calling the securities he couldn't say anything.

Though to be honest the old man was also interested in knowing the young woman and man who were sitting on the stone bench.

He glanced at Ye Qian and Yuan Meng while still counting the beads on his prayer beads but a light shone in his eyes.

'If I were to get some pointers from the two seniors, I might also be enlightened on the path of a buddha.'

The old man babbled in excitement but he was still afraid of disturbing the two since they seemed to be in deep meditation.
