On this day, Hua Yan spent her time idly in Hua Zhuo's Huazhuo Pavilion and, in the evening, wrote a letter to Yun Chi, casually mentioning what she had done that day.
The next day, Cheng Lanlan, unwilling to be outdone, came alone to the gates of the Hua Residence without informing Cheng Guzhi, intent on seeing Hua Yan.
After some thought, Hua Yan decided to let Hua Rong invite Cheng Lanlan into the Hua Residence.
Hua Yan waited for Cheng Lanlan on the swing in the backyard.
