The crowd dispersed leaving Mo Feng and Mi Que alone. She wanted to confess her feelings, but was too embarrassed to do it so she kept intensely staring at him hoping he'll just get the hint.

Mo Feng scratched his neck awkwardly.

❝Do you need anything from me? ❞ he asked.

❝Not really. I mean king of... I don't know... ❞ Mi Que mumbled.

❝Are you alright? I haven't seen you so nervous around anyone else but her highness. ❞ Mo Feng said worrying about her.

❝Do... you like someone? ❞ Mi Que built her courage and asked, feeling anxiety build up in her throat.

Mo Feng titled his head confused.

❝I like everyone, why do you ask? ❞Mo Feng asked.

Mi Que sighed disappointed.

❝Idiot Mo Feng... ❞ she whispered to herself.

❝Huh? What have I done this time? ❞Mo Feng asked, getting closed to Mi Que, upset.

❝Not-nothing! Um...earlier... a servant said you went to spend time with her. She... seemed to like you romantically... what about you? Do you like her? ❞Mi Que asked, looking into his eyes.

Mo Feng blinked a few times.

❝The servant that asked me for help to carry some chests and then drugged me? No, I don't like her. ❞ he replied honest,still very confused about what is going on. ❝You're acting weird, sister Que... are you alright? ❞

❝I like you, idiot! ❞Mi Que blurted out. After the words left her mouth, she quick slapped it shocked by her confession.

Mo Feng looked lost at her when it finally hit him.

❝You like me?! ❞he asked surprised, blushing intensely.

Mi Que took deep breaths to calm down and nodded her head.

❝Yes... I've realized I like you. What about you? ❞Mi Que asked bashful.

Mo Feng straightened his back looking very embarrassed.

❝Can I... confess something? ❞ Mo Feng asked playing with his fingers.

❝Speak away. ❞ Mi Que said.

❝That night I hugged you... I wasn't that drunk... I really wanted to hug you for a while... but I didn't wished to make you uncomfortable.❞ he confessed embarrassed.

It was Mi Que's turn to look at him lost.

❝Does you mean it? If you tease me I'll beat you up.❞Mi Que said holding her fist in front of her.

Mo Feng smiled, his cheeks painted red. Mi Que was mesmerized by his smile and didn't paid attention at how his face was coming closer until she could feel his breath on her lips.

❝Then... can I have the pleasure to take you out? On a date... romantically.❞Mo Feng asked, looking into her eyes.

❝Yes. I would love that. ❞Mi Que said and smiled, happy with the outcome of her confession.

Yu An was admiring the pond and the floating lotus flowers.

❝Ready to leave?❞Yu An asked without turning around.

❝Yes... ❞the woman said looking at Yu An's back.

❝If you want to say something juts say it. ❞Yu An said as she touched the waters's surface.

❝Why did you showed mercy? It isn't like you. ❞ Guiyang asked.

❝Seems like you learnt your lessons about me. To answer your question, I'm not sure either. Maybe pity? I felt bad for you. ❞ Yu An explained, taking a lotus flower in her hand.

❝I tried to kill you multiple times... doesn't that make you hate me? ❞ the concubine asked again.

❝It does, but you didn't actually managed to hurt me in any way so I'll let it slide. Besides... it's not really your fault, I understand you in a way. ❞Yu An spoke with melancholy in her voice.

❝Have you ever loved someone you couldn't have?❞ Guiyang asked.

❝I did. ❞Yu An replied, memories she wished to forget played in her head.

She experienced heartbreak as well so how could she not understand her feelings?

The concubine walked closer and looked at Yu An's expression.

❝The look in your eyes... it seems like I'm not the one suffering in love. I came to apologize again and thank you for allowing me to leave this Palace... ❞ Guiyang said and bowed her head respectfully.

❝Find someone that loves you and will make you happy. ❞Yu An said and gave the concubine a last smile.

After the woman wasn't in Yu An's view anymore she returned her attention to the peaceful pond.

❝Is your new hobby eavesdropping, your highness? ❞Yu An asked and the guilty man walked to her.

❝I didn't mean to. ❞ Wang Shu said sitting next to her on the grass.

Yu An took her shoes off and let her feet wonder in the warm water. She felt sad... maybe even nostalgic.

❝I wished I could play some music right now. ❞Yu An mumbled and scoffed sadly.

❝I miss home... it's been long since I saw my family... or the few friends I had from work... the nights out for drinks with them while they spoke about the most boring TV shows ever... my cat...I wonder what Mojo is doing. ❞ Yu An thought and felt tears form in her eyes.

Wang Shu pulled her closer and hugged her waist.

❝Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what life is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me. ❞ Yu An began to softly sing trying to distract herself from sad thoughts.

❝I like it when you sing. ❞Wang Shu said, resting his chin on her head.

❝Really? I'm bad at singing. ❞ Yu An said.

❝You're not. ❞Wang Shu argued.

Yu An chuckled.

❝You want to know, don't you? ❞Yu An asked, pulling away from his arms so she could look into his yellow eyes.

❝I do, but if you don't want to tell me it's alright.❞
