Origin and Story of 扯扯拽拽

After Miaoyu listened to Daiyu's melancholic zither music with Baoyu, she returned to her nunnery feeling disoriented.

She completed her daily prayers and sat in meditation, but her mind was elsewhere, dwelling on Baoyu's words. Her heart pounded and her ears burned as she drifted into a daze and fell asleep.

In her dream, many noble young men sought to marry her, with matchmakers pulling and tugging at her. She even imagined robbers holding knives and clubs, coercing her.

After this dream, she fell seriously ill.
