They run into Feng Rui and Wen Peiyan there. It gets awkward. Siting introduces Peiyan to Xiaoyuan as Feng Rui's fiancée. The four of them look at the paintings together. Feng Rui listens to Siting analyze the art. Her interpretation matches his own thoughts perfectly. He looks at Peiyan. She doesn't connect with the art in the same way.
