'Life is always dynamic.'

As Jing Er, I can't speak freely however Cheng Sheng Lin is my saviour. I don't know how to meet Yu Wen if I am still stay here. Cheng Sheng Lin has ordered Mei Hua to serve and accompanying me while he is not around. What should I do?

I have to think a way. Father's birthday is two days later. I have to come back home to attend the banquet. I am so dizzy to imagine my father if he knows his son become a woman. I have to go from this house as soon as possible but it will looks bad if I go without tell to Cheng Sheng Lin since he saved me.

That day Cheng Sheng Lin just comeback home after brought another victory for king. I must admitted that Cheng Sheng Lin really great general because his enemies is not easy to defeated but he conquered them all. Gossips about him had spread in this country. Now the king ordered him to visit palace so he is not here and I have to come back home.

"Uhm. Mei Hua, can you help me to tell Young Master that I have to come back home soon."

"Do you really want to back home, Miss?" She asked.

"Of course. Now, I am full recovery already. I just wait Young Master. Mei Hua, do you know when your Young Master arrives at home?"

"May be this night he will return."

I still worries about banquet like something bad will happen. Recently some issues about rebellion involving some officers in palace had spread. I was check about the rumors and I found out some movement from one of the princes but I still don't have enough evidence.

"Miss?"

"Yes?"

"Miss, are you alright?" Mei Hua asked.

"Mei Hua, let me know if Young Master has return."

"Yes, Miss."

I have to go. I can't staying here any longer. Few minutes later another maid approaching us and whisper something to Mei Hua and after that she dismiss.

"Miss, Young Master was returned." Mei Hua says.

"I will meet him."

"I will guide you, Miss."

"Thank you."

Mei Hua looks calm and guide me to the pavilion. Cheng Sheng Lin stares at me when I come near him.

"Jing Er, please sit beside me." He said.

His voice sounds like an order to me. I don't like someone else ordered me but this time I decided to follow his 'order'.

" You looks better now." He said.

"Yes, Young Master all that because of your care. I am so grateful to meet Young Master."

"Jing Er, I know that you want come back home."

"Yes, Young Master. Jing Er had stay here too long. Jing Er's family must be worry."

"Yes, I understand. So can I meet you again? " He asked me.

"If fate permits us to meet again then we will, Young Master. " I answered.

"Then alright. Jing Er, just say if you need something from me."

Why he is so concern about me. I just a stranger.

"Thanks to Young Master. I feel better now."

"Jing Er, where is your family lived?" He asked again.
