The small town of Banrea was relatively desolate, so the farmer�s market was small as well. However, its residents were still rather successful at keeping it clean and tidy. Many creative stalls were set up around the area as well.

After buying some fruits and vegetables, Renee ordered a cup of hot tea and intended to walk around the market for a while.

The market was quite small, spanning only a few hundred meters. A variety of products were on display, ranging from fresh produce to clothing and handmade accessories.

Renee approached a pottery stall that featured mugs and plates in all shapes and sizes. The earthenware seemed to be made of ceramic, and on each were detailed and beautiful vintage patterns.

She instantly had eyes on a white mug. There wasn�t any complicated design on it, save for a faint black ombre design that covered the bottom half. When looked at on the whole, the mug looked like the Yin and Yang symbol.

�Mister, this mug looks interesting!� Renee pointed towards it and exclaimed.

�You have great taste, young lady!� Although the vendor was a foreign man, he was a heritage enthusiast. Seeing how Renee had a good eye on his products, he started explaining away.

�This cup�s design is actually quite intricate. There�s this thing called Taichi in the great Aeos far, far away from us� a rather mystical concept. It explains everything that exists in our world. Seeing how there�s both white and black on this mug, it looks as if the colors are separated, but in reality, they are mixed together. They contrast greatly but attract each other regardless.�

�Neither color can overpower the other, nor can they leave each other.�

�Taichi�� Renee fell into deep thought as she stared at the mug.

She somehow thought of her past relationship with Stefan. Despite being complete opposites, they still couldn�t suppress the mutual attraction they felt.

Just as she was about to have the vendor hand her the mug, a cold voice came from above her head. �I�m buying this mug.�

Renee narrowed her eyes, turning around with a scowl. �What gives? I had eyes on it first!�

With a swift turn, her eyes were met with the man�s intimidating gaze. It was then that she felt her soul leave her body, and she froze up on the spot. Her mind drew blanks, her body stiffened, and she was simply unable to utter a single word.

Stefan was a whole foot taller than Renee. Like a large mountain, he radiated a suffocating aura. Behind him was the warm sunlight, complementing his brilliance and ethereal looks.

�But I was the one who paid first.� Stefan placed a stack of cash on the counter as he stared at Renee with his usual arrogant eyes.

Renee was still in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she must be hallucinating.

The man before her was, in fact, Stefan, the one who she hadn�t seen in six months. The man� who reincarnated.

He seemed much more dashing from when they parted. Moreover, it was likely because he had received a cornea transplant from Jovan; his eyes looked cold yet nonchalant at the same time.

Although Banrea wasn�t a large town, she had never expected that they�d bump into each other in such a quiet marketplace. JrNovels.com
