Zhu Ruyuan had been single for twenty-seven years, and had even begun to doubt her sexual orientation.
After meeting Zhou Fu, she found, for once, that she wasn't repulsed.
The other person seemed to have some interest in her, too.
One rainy night, Zhu Ruyuan tricked him into coming home with her, hoping to finally find out for sure.
She took a shower. As she dried her hair, Zhou Fu, still in his wet clothes, buttoned his shirt back up, picked up his glasses, and politely asked to borrow her umbrella before taking his leave.
Zhu Ruyuan thought they had an unspoken understanding as adults.
But Zhou Fu said, "If we start things the wrong way, we might both end up feeling conflicted and lost."
