Xu Ziqing personally cooked a table full of dishes for Ye Che last night. However, Ye Che wasn't in the mood for eating. After returning, he gave her a faint glance and then retreated to his own bedroom.
Even such a glance made Xu Ziqing feel overly flattered, thinking to herself, 'Ye Che saw me but didn't mock or ridicule me with his sharp tongue as before? This change in attitude seemed to give Xu Ziqing a glimmer of hope, and it reinforced her determination to confront the old lady.
After discussing with the old lady, she stayed at the old mansion for the night. When she came out in the morning, she coincidentally saw Ye Che standing in the courtyard, his tall and straight figure, bathed in the halo of light, looked particularly refined and elegant.
