If he didn't come himself, if the man really couldn't hold it in anymore and had to go to the outhouse, it's feared that exactly at this time, the adored woman would arrive to find no one waiting on the bridge.

Zhu Minglang, wearing a floral hat, was waiting right there on the Magpie Stone Bridge.
And sure enough, an elegantly dressed woman hurriedly approached, her gaze piercing through the somewhat desolate night fog to see a man waiting for her on the stone bridge.
A smile graced the elegant woman's face as she quickened her steps, taking three steps as if they were two.
Carrying a small bag, her initially somewhat flustered expression suggested... she may have sneaked out from home!
It turned out to be an elopement!
