Huai Zi mumbled a few times. Glancing around, he hurriedly swung his legs out of bed. With a thick tongue, he slurred, "Where is this? Where's Juhua? Juhua must be crying... This is bad... Juhua... jumped into Jing Lake... I... I need to go see... I'm going home..."
Juhua's head throbbed when she heard this. She quickly grabbed him and said, "Huai Zi, I am Juhua. Where are you going? Isn't this your home?"
Huai Zi either didn't hear the first part of her words, or he heard but didn't believe them. Hearing the latter half, he struggled to open his eyes and asked, "This is my home? Then... why are you here? Get out, quick! My Juhua... is... coming back soon."
Juhua didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, unsure of what to do. She could only patiently repeat to this deliriously drunk man that she was indeed Juhua.
