Ah Dai finally understood that Xuan Yue was angry because he had chosen Lan Yin to be his wife. Remembering the mention of marriage, he suddenly recalled that as a child, Yue Yue had said she wanted to marry him when they grew up. He sighed with relief and said somewhat sentimentally, "Yue Yue, you misunderstood me. I'm not marrying Lan Yin; it was Brother Yan Shi who told me to do that."
Xuan Yue paused, her crying halted, and she looked up, "What did you say? Brother Yan Shi told you to marry Lan Yin?"
Ah Dai shook his hands repeatedly, "No, no, that's not it. Here's what happened." He then explained how he and Yan Shi had planned to help Lan Yin and Aguti.
