Night fell and Chun Hua was preparing to sleep when Qiu Yue’s voice sounded from outside her room, asking if she was still awake. She quickly told him that she had already gone to bed and that he wasn’t allowed to enter her room. Not getting a reply from him, she peeked out of her front door only to see that there wasn’t a shadow in sight. With a relieved smile, she shut her room’s door only to have all the candles in her room go out at the very same moment. She knew that he was already in the room and fearfully warned him to stay away from her, adding that she was very good at kicking people, doing a few kicks at the air for good measure. Glancing around her room but seeing nothing, Chun Hua asked him what he wanted, her exasperation clear. Qiu Yue used the voice imitation technique to speak with Chun Hua’s voice, saying what she had told him earlier in the day “As long as you don’t tell Xiao Bai, I’ll do anything you want.”
QY: “You wouldn’t have lost.”
What Qiu Yue wanted her to do ended up being a ice silkworm pearl glowing competition, to see whose pearl could stay glowing for a longer time. The loser had to do whatever the winner wanted. Seeing that her pearl was starting to lose its glow, Chun Hua panicked and grabbed her pearl, running outside to let it bask in the moonlight. Qiu Yue followed her out, telling her that she wouldn’t have lost because as long as his was still glowing, hers would never die out.
Back at the inn, Xiao Bai was polishing his sword when Liu Feng barged into his room unannounced, curious as to how everything had turned out at the Hua Manor. After Xiao Bai updated him on the days’ events, Liu Feng comments that it was weird that Lord Hua and Hua Que would lack etiquette to the extent that they caused Chun Hua to lose face in front of a guest. Xiao Bai explains that the both of them might have been overly excited to have their Xiao Lei back.
( She’s too cute all curled up like that )
The next morning, Chun Hua was still asleep in bed when Xiao Bai’s voice sounded from outside her room, asking if she would like to return to Feng Ming Manor with him. Chun Hua replies with a sleepy “No” and we realise that it was actually Qiu Yue outside her room. Hearing her answer, a hint of a smile made its way onto his face and he questioned her reply, to which she added that unless he married her, causing the smile to slip off Qiu Yue’s face. Chun Hua then heard Qiu Yue’s voice, asking if she didn’t want him anymore. She froze in shock before opening her eyes to see that Qiu Yue was right beside her bed, staring intently at her. She screamed in shock and hurriedly sat up as she hugged her knees, telling him that she had been sleep-talking just now. Understanding what she was trying to get at, Qiu Yue asked if he was such a petty person in her heart, to which she quickly denied but muttered in her heart that he should know better if he was petty or not. Chun Hua then went to dress herself and because Qiu Yue refused to leave the room, she could only compromise by asking him to turn around. She didn’t trust him and turned around to check that he had really turned away and Qiu Yue impatiently commented that if she didn’t hurry, she would miss Xiao Bai.
