In the Flower Moon Building, the term "as close as brothers" inherently suggests a special bond between women, so Zhu Pingniang was taken aback for a moment when she heard Li Zhibai use it to describe her.
It was enough to be satisfied.
Being described this way, how could she not feel content?
Zhu Pingniang recalled the sensation of her own hair flicking across her face and nose as Li Zhibai carefully applied makeup for her earlier.
Ah Bai... truly has an exceedingly beautiful head of hair, and it smells delightful, like osmanthus or orchids.
To women, the fragrance of orchids holds very special significance.
The bond between a man and wife is often described as "cutting hair," while between women, it is "as firm as gold and stone."
Most people understand "as close as brothers" as deep friendship, a sworn sisterhood.
