"Wait, it's still early," Chu Yi said. "The moonlight is enchanting, how about we go for a walk?"
As he spoke, he leaned towards the door, but Su Wan was already on guard and slammed the door shut. There was a loud bang outside, as if something had hit the door. Then she heard Chu Yi say, "Ouch, Miss Su, don't slam the door so hard."
