Master Jiechen returned to the plum garden, thinking that if he was careful he could avoid them, so he perked up his ears and listened intently, then skipped around the loudest clump of plum trees to another area, only to turn past three plum trees and come across a young couple standing face-to-face, their faces blushing, who looked familiar.
Master Jiechen paused in his steps, and Liu Huan and Zhou Liru, both blushing, turned to look at him, their eyes meeting simultaneously.
Zhou Liru was holding the flower that Liu Huan had just picked for her. They looked at Master Jiechen and were about to speak when he nodded at them slightly and turned to leave.
Liu Huan opened his mouth, only to ask Zhou Liru after Jiechen's silhouette disappeared, "Why did he just leave?"
Zhou Liru replied, "Let him leave, Master Jiechen is a high monk, he won't mind such trivial matters. Come on, let's gather some fallen plum flowers and go see my aunt."
