Zhou You refused to believe it and climbed through several balcony windows in succession.
But the balconies were like nesting dolls. Beyond each one lay another, without end. After jumping across eight balconies, Zhou You finally gave up and headed back to the living room.
So Zhou You jumped across another eight balconies, feeling like a Tibetan antelope putting on a show.
Duan Yuxian came out of the bedroom and joined Zhou You in the living room.
"The bedroom window won't let us out either," she said regretfully.
Duan Yuxian had encountered the same problem as Zhou You. Beyond the bedroom lay another bedroom, on and on without end. They could only admire the nighttime scenery outside the windows from afar, never reach it.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, can you hear me?" Zhou You called through the door.
There was no response from outside.
"Looks like we really are trapped."

"Um, Fellow Daoist Zhou... what happened earlier was an emergency measure."
"I understand, I understand."
Neither had to specify what they meant. They both knew without saying it outright.
