[Diety Ai's P.O.V]

He runs into the Rumi's room where everyone is sitting.

"Gui is back from Nakeef! He's in the stables" He yells,excited out of breathe.

Xiu Huo pops up out of her seat and runs to to the stables to meet Gui.

"Gui!" She shouts.

Looking around for him.

"Gui!" Xiu Huo yells again.

Gui runs out of one of the stalls to see who was yelling. When Xiu Huo sees him,she runs and jumps into his arms hugging him tight.

"What's gotten into you lately?" Gui asks.

Xiu Huo lets go and looks at him.

"What do you mean? I'm happy to see you?" Xiu Huo says.

Gui sighs.

"I mean.. I know you said you were sorry.. but after our fight and you said Id never be your lover.. what changed?" Gui asks.

Xiu Huo holds Gui's hand and looks him in the eyes,sincerely.

"You were always there.. Even though you say stupid things that make me mad sometimes... I know that you care,I never asked you to protect my virtue.. but you did it anyway. And that made me think what am I doing here with Shyrin when I should be with Gui." Xiu Huo says.

Gui stares at her. Xiu Huo looks down and sighs and Gui not responding.

"I love you..." Gui says,suddenly.

This making Xiu Huo look up in shock. Gui holds her tight and kisses her. Xiu Huo smiles.

[In Mu Dān's Chamber]

Mu Dān is having tea. Da walks into the room.

"What do you want Da?" Mu Dan asks.

"You think you can do this to me and get away unscaved?" Da asks.

Mu Dan stands up and walks over to him.

"What are you going to do? " She asks.

He raises his hand about to strike her but Mu Dan punches him in the chest and knocks him down.

Da groans in pain. Mu Dan tears up.

"You will not hit me any longer.. And If I see you hitting anymore women..I will hang you outside the palace walls with your gentials in your mouth and both of your severed hands shoved up your ass" Mu Dan says,shaking with anger.

Da looks at Mu Dan in fear at her words.

[In Rumi's chamber's]

Bao Fang walks into Rumi's room.

"If you're here to get back at me.. go ahead" Rumi says.

Bao Fang sighs,She sits down across from Rumi.

"You're my sister,I love you.. I don't want fight with you." Bao Fang says.

Rumi tears up. Bao Fang wipes her tears.

"I'm sorry.. I am so hard to deal with.." Rumi says,apologetic.

"You can be a pain in the ass.. but we love you and I can't be mad at you.. Cause I know how you feel " Bao Fang says.

Rumi smiles.

"Can you forgive me?" Rumi asks.

"Only.. If you stop being annoying" Bao Fang says.
