Lu Yu stood by her side, quietly accompanying the ceaselessly weeping girl, as moonlight draped over them, casting dark shadows on the ground that seemed so harmonious.
After an unknown period, Cui Cui finally emerged from her sorrowful state, wiped her somewhat swollen eyes, and quickly looked around, searching for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu, sensing Cui Cui's approach, finished his last stroke and looked at the curious-faced Cui Cui, saying, "Cui Cui, I have a task for you. Can you do it?"
