Origin and Story of 拉拉扯扯
Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu had an argument and parted unhappily. Daiyu regretted it alone in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Baoyu also regretted having offended her.
So he personally went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to apologize and stepped forward to pull Daiyu out to play.
Lin Daiyu shook her hand away and said, "Who wants to pull and tug with you like this! You're getting older by the day, yet still so thick-skinned and shameless."
It was ultimately Sister Feng who diffused the situation for them.
