Two years later,when Yuan-feng was passing by a garden belonging to his family outside of the city,he heard laughter coming from inside.Climbing up on his saddle and peering over the wall,he found himself looking at none other than Hsiao-ts'ui.Quickly he scaled the wall and rushed up to her.Holding their hands together and tears welling up in their eyes,the couple poured out their stories of longing for each other.Hsiao-ts'ui's heart broke seeing the disheveled state that Yuan-feng was in.But still she refused to go home with him.So under the pretense of convalescing from illness,Yuan-feng moved to the garden to live with Hsiao-ts'ui.
