「Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto, Japan.」
The crimson maple leaves, like a blazing fire, spread layer upon layer between the eaves of the ancient temple, as beautiful as a vibrant, richly colored scroll painting.
Two mature women were holding up their phones, taking selfies amidst the picturesque scenery.
"Xiao Ya, come on, smile! Don't look so glum. We're out here to relax, not to attend a funeral!"
A fashionably dressed woman with a bit of baby fat on her cheeks pouted at the camera.
Her name was Li Momo.
The woman she called Xiao Ya, though equally stunning with a gentle disposition, had a faint trace of sorrow in her eyes. Her name was Gu Xiaoya, an ophthalmologist who had just gone through a failed marriage.
To help her best friend move on from that dark period,
Li Momo had specifically dragged her to Japan on a trip to relax and unwind.
"Alright, alright, I'm smiling." Gu Xiaoya forced a smile and posed for a few photos with her best friend.
