When Lou Xi heard what Qin Mobai said, she didn't come to her senses for a while. What does it mean — I'm outside your house?
She sprang out of bed, remembering she had already returned from Nancheng, and Qin Mobai should be in Nancheng now. Why was he outside her house?
"Young Master Qin, what did you say?" Lou Xi immediately put on her shoes, wondering whether she should go outside or wash up first.
In the end, she couldn't worry about so much and just ran outside.
She sprinted across the small courtyard of the quadrangle, reaching the wooden gate and swinging it open, only to find Qin Mobai standing outside in a tailored suit.
The Lou Family home is close to a small river, with willows planted along the bank. Qin Mobai stood under a willow tree, as morning mist rose from the river like an ink-wash painting, making him appear otherworldly.
