Lin Shu responded, "I'm not so down and out that I need others to support me. I'm already an adult now, with hands and feet, and even a teaching certificate. I have the ability to stand on my own in this world. Maybe what I earn isn't as much as your pocket change, but it's all gotten through my own blood, sweat, and tears."
Fang Zhi knew that Lin Shu was hard-headed. Although he would worry about the hardships caused by her stubbornness, he greatly admired this part of her character.
The two of them lay in the garden chatting for a while, and unexpectedly, they both fell asleep.

The two then got up off the garden ground and went back to their rooms to sleep.
