Remember last year when we watched a movie, it was about five or six miles from their village. An outdoor movie, shown at night. The electrical bureau only provided power from 7 to 9 PM, but the projectionist got drunk and only started the film at 8. Just as Zhu Xijuan jumped up in Red Detachment of Women, there was a sudden power cut, and the crowd below erupted in chaos with shouts, curses, cries of regret, and sobbing all mixed together. It seems this was the moment she and Ye Qing got separated in the confusion.
Thinking of this, Lin Wan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She could never understand why Ye Qing was so harsh on her when she mentioned that day.
That day she and her brother had been looking for her all the way until everyone was gone, and only then did they leave.
Worried, Lin Wan went to her home the next day to check on her, but she didn't see Ye Qing. Outside, she met her mom, who said Ye Qing was sick and lying inside, and told her not to disturb her.
