Du Yueling told Liu Hun about the issue, and he understood it immediately—it must have been something from that night that had left a lingering obstacle in Fen Ran's heart. So, he planned to find the right opportunity to clear things up with Fen Ran, hoping that by talking it through, everything would be sorted out.
With this matter on his mind, Liu Hun was walking towards the village when, just as he happened to pass by the stream where villagers washed their clothes, he heard a clamor of shouting. He hurried over to look and saw Fen Ran wading through the stream, one moment sinking deeper, the next shallower, as she struggled with a piece of clothing. Every now and then, she would accidentally plunge right into the water.
Liu Hun dashed over and pulled Fen Ran out of the water, asking, "Sister Shi, are you alright?"
"No… no problem," Fen Ran replied, lifting her head to see Liu Hun and blushing with embarrassment, she bowed her head again like a frost-bitten yellow cauliflower.
