Origin and Story of 摸不着头脑
Jia Baoyu was strictly supervised by his father Jia Zheng to study. However, he had no interest in reading at all. When he opened the 'Ancient Music Bureau Poems' and read Cao Cao's line, 'Let's drink and sing, for life is but short,' he was immediately filled with emotion. He then put down one book and picked up another, flipping through them back and forth without taking anything seriously. Xiren was baffled for a moment and just stood there staring at him blankly. Eventually, she simply let him go out to play.
