Just Another Tale

Wild Lilly

Original continuation of the story...

Xiao Zhan and Yubin somehow managed to get that fairy up inside that room again. 

When he reached the balcony again, he looked down towards a tiny Xiao Zhan who was hiding behind a plum tree and looking up at him. Yibo couldn't help but smile at that sight again. Xiao Zhan saw that smile and he shook his head with a sigh before he wave a good bye and disappear.

Next day, Xiao Zhan was teaching poetry to some kids of his neighborhood. They were in the garden outside of Xiao Zhan's house and Xiao Zhan was explaining the meaning of a particular poem, walking slowly back and forth on that grass. 

He was wearing a sky blue color inner robe and a navy blue outer robe. The outer robe was made of some soft weightless see through fabric, that was sticking on his inner robe and sometimes floating when he walked. A very thin line of golden embroidery was there on his belt and those fabric, His long dark hair was obediently laid on his shoulders and back. When the sunlight touched him through the gapes of those thick leaves, he looked so heavenly. 

"Xiao Zhan," 

Suddenly he heard some footsteps and he turned around to see some imperial guards standing in front of him. He gaped first and he immediately walked towards them before bowing in respect. They did the same back. 

"The Princess wants to see you." Those guards informed him and his heart leaped out of his chest in panic. 

'Did she find out what happened last night?' He couldn't help but startle a little. He tried to hide his shock by asking with a smile "Is this about the poem I promised?" He stared at those guards, hopefully.

"No, It is about that fairy. You must come with us. Right now." 

Xiao Zhan jumped in shock again but there was nothing he could do at that time except follow that order.

Xiao Zhan stood inside that royal hall, fidgeting with his flute in hand, biting his lips in tension and waiting for the princess. 

"I'm glad you came." Suddenly, the princess arrived with three of her maids following, elegant in orange color fabric.  Xiao Zhan immediately paid the respect and that princess acknowledged it before she sat down on a royal chair in front of Xiao Zhan. 

Xiao Zhan still was standing there, downed his head, half in respect and half in fear. 

"You must be wondering why I called you here all of a sudden, don't you?" She asked and Xiao Zhan slowly nodded his head saying a soft "Yes, your majesty." 

"I was thinking..." She rose from the throne and stepped slowly towards Xiao Zhan, thinking. "You can write songs and also sing well. It would be great if my fairy could dance to your song." She smiled brightly looking at a stunned Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan was half relived at the fact that the princess didn't caught him for the last night but he still couldn't get what she really meant this time. He blinked.

"My fairy. He is an Apsara. He can dance of course. Why don't we try that?" She explained again.

Xiao Zhan now got what she meant. She wants to make that fairy ....... Yibo to dance for her. But,
