00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 3>and white clouds, and a gentle breeze caresses the face,

68
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.759

82
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 3>However, the temple was crowded with people. Families had come

83
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 3>to pay respects to their ancestors, making it difficult for

84
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Lina to find a quiet spot.

93
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 3>nearly impossible for him to settle down and observe.

<v Speaker 3>The Difa Lina decided to follow a small path passing

97
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 3>through the main hall to find a more secluded area

00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 3>She did not want to interact with others because of

101
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 3>unpleasant experiences she had encountered elsewhere in the past.

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 3>The mood Wei noticed a girl standing out awkwardly in

105
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 3>the crowd. Something about her moved him, and he sensed

106
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.879
<v Speaker 3>she might have a similar purpose as his taku.

00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Gathering his courage, he approached her and gently asked, hello,

110
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:30.759
<v Speaker 3>are you also looking for a quiet place?

115
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.480
<v Speaker 3>she nodded slightly and said, yes, it's really too lively

119
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 3>Together they walked through the courtyard and found a small

120
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 3>garden behind the temple, much quieter than the rest of

121
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:07.200

125
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.039

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.919

142
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 3>that opening her heart might not be such a daunting task.
