Hua Xiaomai hadn't encountered Han Fengzhi since the selection for last year's banquet of scholars, so she was naturally overjoyed to unexpectedly see him at the Dong'an Inn. She hurried down the stairs in a few quick steps, made her way straight to him, and said with a smile, "How strange, how did you know we were staying here?"
"All well since we last met?"
Han Fengzhi first greeted her solemnly, then turned his head to greet Meng Yuhuai, who was following at a leisurely pace, calling him "Brother Meng" before a sly smile appeared on his face.
"You've arrived in Tong'an City and knew to visit Master Xue right away; did you think I'm a fool? It just so happens I arrived shortly after you, and it was from him that I heard you were settled here. So here I am, hurried over, didn't I? Tell me, that's a friend for you, right?"
