The Old Days

Xu Shuangli grew up in Qingshui Town and took over her family’s flower shop as an adult.

After her father passed away, she became the only person in town who wrote letters for others.

One day, two visitors came to Xu Shuangli’s flower shop.

The shadow of green bamboo shifted across the blinds, while the faint sound of a pipa drifted in through the window.

The old woman’s hair was white, and she had an elegant air. Beside her stood a young man, cool and aloof as jade.

The old woman said, “Please write a letter for me.”

Another day, Shen Yanhuai came alone.

After taking a seat, he said, “Please write a letter for me.”

Xu Shuangli picked up her brush.

Then she heard Shen Yanhuai say, “No words. Just write the word ‘Shuangli.’”
