During the meal and conversation, no one brought up the incident from last night, as if it had never happened by tacit agreement.
After eating and staying at home for an hour or two, Du Heng and Wang Shuqiu departed.
The family tried their utmost to persuade Du Heng to stay another day, but he still declined.
One reason was that he had already made plans to have dinner with Wei Kaida and a few others that day; another was that staying felt a bit awkward.
On the way back, Du Heng was more familiar with the roads, and his speed increased considerably.
Passing the spot where the motorcycle had tumbled down the day before, he surprisingly encountered another motorcyclist who had fallen—this time a female rider, with three large bags loaded on her bike.
However, since people were already helping push the motorcycle out, Du Heng didn't stop to assist.
