Ever since Zhang Ping'er met Dream, she no longer accompanied Zhang Xiaohua. Whenever they happened to bump into each other, she would keep her distance, only sneakily peeking at him with her eyes but never saying a word.
Zhang Xiaohua wanted to say something to her, but he knew that some things could get messier the more they were discussed, so he let it be. He believed that Zhang Ping'er would eventually understand, just like Nie Qianyu.
If things were so simple, Zhang Xiaohua would not have been troubled.
After Dream encountered Zhang Ping'er, she spent a whole day with Zhang Xiaohua in the medicine garden before returning to Mo Cu Palace at nightfall. Then, for several days, she seemed to disappear without a trace.
