        JinLing wakes up to the sounds of birds chirping and sunshine. As he tried to stand up, he felt his body sore. Looking around, Sizhui was nowhere to be found. Bearing the pain, the young mistress stood up and walked towards the bathroom, preparing to take a bath hoping to get rid of the soreness. <door creek> JinLing sprung up with the sound to see Sizhui standing by the door, a basket in each hand. "Did you sleep well, Rulan? I got you some food and ointments." "Mhmm, thank you." "Oh! By the way I have to meet with Sect Leader Nie's assistant in about an hour. Is there anywhere you want me to drop you off so you won't be bored in the inn?" *Is Sizhui just gonna act like nothing happened?* "JinLing?" "O-oh can you drop me off at the street market with a few tong-bi? I wanna look around, maybe I can find Uncle Wei some baby clothes and necessities since the baby's due soon!" "Alright." The two sat and chatted before leaving for the street market. "Be safe, Rulan! Let's meet in front of that library ok? I'll be back in an hour."

        "Come one Lan Zhan we got 3 days until Huasang gets back, we got lots of time! Visiting them will take like 4 hours!" "Aren't you feeling dizzy? We can go tomorrow when you get better." "Awwww fine. The amount of self control you have is crazy though Lan Zhan. Almost nine months without you inside me, carrying this baby is so worth it!" "Remember you reap what you sow."

        Sizhui walked out of Nie Fu (residence of sect leader nie his family and some of his subordinates) and gets walks towards to street market, in the darkness, the street market looks more alive than ever <humming> he approached the library and went inside glancing around, nowhere in sight. "JinLing?" He walked out of the library, no JinLing. Sprinting around the night market, he was growing more agitated each second the younger wasn't in his vision, looking everywhere for the young mistress's slim frame. Clothing store, nothing, sweets shop, nothing, restaurant, nothing. *Ah the park at the back! Maybe he went for a stroll and forgot about the time!" Sizhui rushed into the park and looked around and saw nothing and was about to leave, he heard a faint cry behind him. "JinLing?" He ran back where the forest was located, and there he was. In the near distance JinLing was against a tree, half naked, a figure leaning over covering JinLing's mouth and holding his hands, his disgusting kissing Rulan's chest where tears were dripping down. Sizhui ran towards him and kicked the guy away. "What the hell, who are you? Can't you see I'm busy? Mind your own bus- Augh!!" JinLing opened his eyes to see Sizhui repeatedly punching the guy's face, bashing his head into the dirt. "Sizhui stop! He's going to die, let's just go." Sizhui turned around and rushed towards Rulan, hugging him tight. "Are you ok? Did he hurt you? I'm sorry for leaving you alone in such an environment, it won't happen again ok? Sizhui pulled away, helped fix his robe and carried JinLing bridal style back to the hotel. Sizhui had an alarming look on his face, a look that JinLing found strangely comforting.
