Du Lai returned empty-handed.
Upon returning, Fu Miaoxue was standing on the roof, tirelessly adorning it with various wildflowers—red, white, yellow, blue—covering it in a riot of colors, looking quite beautiful.
He stood under the eaves and said, "When the sun shines, they'll wilt. Why go through all that trouble?"
Fu Miaoxue turned to see him and asked, "Weren't you going to take a bath? How come you're dirty again?"
Then she laughed uncontrollably, "Like a mangy dog, hahaha!"
Du Lai looked at her laughing face; his low mood slightly improved, and he playfully retorted, "You look like a rooster crowing on the roof."
Fu Miaoxue: "..."
She put her hands on her hips, grabbed a handful of thorny wildflowers from behind, and threw them at Du Lai!
Du Lai dodged, and Fu Miaoxue whipped out two stones from somewhere, Du Lai chuckled and cursed: "I taught you to throw stones to aim at me?"
Fu Miaoxue huffed angrily, "Who told you to call me a big rooster!"
