Under the eaves, Shi Chun sat down on a chair and pulled the Red-clothed Woman onto his lap. She was not used to being teased like this and wanted to stand up to escape, but Shi Chun pulled her back and wrapped his arms around her waist.
The Red-clothed Woman looked up at the eaves and took a deep breath, suppressing her instinctive reaction to fight back.
Shi Chun, with his face pressed against her, inhaling her fragrance, asked, "Ruo Jun, why are you here?"
This courtyard was rented by Shi Chun years ago. Afterward, it was naturally unrelated to him. Passing by, he recalled its past allure and impulsively decided to take a look. Unexpectedly, he encountered an old flame, saving him the trouble of searching further.
Dong Liangyu had said this woman had long left, which puzzled him.
Had he not been acting on his own impulse, he would have suspected it had something to do with his arrangements.
