(It is a rainy night. Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu are walking in the garden.)

Lin Daiyu: (sighing) Ah, what a stormy night it is! The rain beats against the windows like a thousand drums.

Jia Baoyu: (picking up a fallen flower) It’s a pity that such beauty is marred by the rain.

Lin Daiyu: (smiling) But isn’t it the storm that brings out the true character of flowers?

(They sit down under a pavilion.)

Jia Baoyu: (looking at Lin Daiyu) Daiyu, I have always admired your courage. Even in the face of adversity, you remain steadfast.

Lin Daiyu: (smiling) And you, Baoyu, are as noble as the wind that sweeps through the trees.

(A thunderstorm suddenly breaks.)

Jia Baoyu: (distracted) Listen! The thunder is like a dragon roaring!

Jia Cheng: (smiling) But look at her now! She has become even more resolute.

(Xue Baochai and Wang Xifeng enter the room.)

(Some time later, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are walking in the garden again.)

Jia Baoyu: (smiling) Daiyu, I have learned a valuable lesson from the storm. It teaches us that no matter how fierce the storm may be, we must remain true to ourselves.

Lin Daiyu: (smiling) And I have learned that love is like the storm. It may be fierce, but it will always bring us together.

Jia Baoyu: (holding her hand) Together, we will face any storm that comes our way.

Lin Daiyu: (smiling) Yes, Baoyu. Together, we will unlock the dialogues of the thunderstorm.

(They walk away hand in hand, symbolizing their unbreakable bond.)
