And so, Zhao Rong followed Tao Hua under the cover of night, heading toward the cultivation cave halfway up the mountain. Along the way, he thought to himself, Soon, I'll be alone with Tao Hua in the cave. Maybe something might even happen… Why don't I take advantage of the night to set the mood? That should help things along later…
So, Zhao Rong pointed at the sky and said to Tao Hua, "Tao Hua, on this beautiful night with the full moon and blooming flowers…"
Before Zhao Rong could finish, Tao Hua looked up at the sky, frowned, and said, "Beautiful night? What are you talking about? Look, the clouds are covering the moon and there isn't a single star out…"
Hearing this, Zhao Rong was taken aback. He glanced up and saw that it was, indeed, a cloudy night. Undeterred, he tried to find something else romantic to say. "Tao Hua, it's just the two of us tonight, walking along this country path, smelling the fragrant air and seeing the ground covered in flowers… It feels so romantic…"
