The next day Fengjiu was waiting for Si Ming to come back to his manor. She had needed him to help put the medicine she made in a jar for Dong Hua. Si Ming came rushing in, he protested, "Little Princess! What are you doing on my table? That is rude."

Fengjiu jumped on him, which caused him to laugh because her paws tickled him. She jumped back on the table with the bag in her mouth, that contained the medicine. Then she quickly ran out. 'I'll thank him later.'

Dong Hua was outside near his personal pond, when he heard the slapping of little paws on the ground. He smiled and knew it was his Xiao Huli, so he turned and watched her approaching his sitting area. He saw she had a bag in her mouth. "What is that?" Then the Xiao Huli dropped the bag in front of him and sat down. Dong Hua picked up the bag and opened it, and there was a jar inside. 'Medicine?'  He opened and smelled it. "Hibiscus cream?"

The Xiao Huli nodded with a smile. He asked shocked, "You made this?" Though he shouldn't feel shocked because he had known this spiritual fox was special. The Xiao Huli nodded again, and he smiled wide. "Wait a minute." He put the jar down and unwrapped his finger. Dong Hua put his finger on the lounge chair he was sitting on. He said, "Here."

She lifted her tail and dipped it in the medicine and rubbed it on his cut. He looked at the fox as it finished putting the medicine on him. He wondered, 'Why does this Xiao Huli care about me so much? No one has ever been this caring of me. Yes...I have had soldiers loyal to me and protect my back in battle...but never one that cared if I was hurt, they assumed I was stronger than broken bones... but they were right. I can take pain.' He further thought. 'Still though, I like feeling taken care of. Just like I love taking care of this Xiao Huli.'

When she was done he smiled again. "Not bad." Then he pulled her into his arms and wiped her tail. After her tail was clean, he kept her on his chest while he read the rest of the day. He had wondered why he never named her, but something inside him fought against it, as if she already had a name. He decided to just keep calling her his Xiao Huli.

Over the next few days, Dong Hua enjoyed everyday with his Xiao Huli. He might even say he was...happy. 'What had I been before? Restless? Slightly Content?'  He wasn't sure, but what he did know was that he didn't want things to change. He had never considered himself lonely in the past, but comparing it to now, he now knows that he had been lonely.
