Her eyes stared at the man with the white hair's hand as he offered it to her. Looking at it, she hesitates a little as her hand shiver. Biting her lip she quivers a little as she tried to hold in her tears. Seeing her tears rolling her eyes he pauses as his foot shuffle on the ground.

"Your highness." She said as she looks at his eyes. "I'm sorry....but I can't return that feeling to you."

"Why?" He asked her as he retrieves his hand away from her. "Is it because of me? Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you?" He asked as he grips tighter onto her.

"Is not you." She assured him. "Your highness, no matter how many days or years have passed, I hope you remember what I said. I like the way things are now. Us, being friends with each other."

"Friends." He muttered underneath his breath as he nodded his head. Turning his face around, his body slowly turns his back from her. As tears rolled down his eyes he quickly wipes it off. Afar, as Feng Jiu saw the white hair man walking away from her. She took a look at the bells he had given it to her and clutches it to her heart.

"Donghua." Her voice mutters as her voice breaks down a little the more she had speaks. "I hope you can understand."

In the cold winter winds, Feng Jiu was outside to enjoy the snow today. Her hand reaches for the tiny snowflake as she catches it with her hand. She smiles as she watches it landing onto her palm.

"First snowfall." She mutters underneath her breath as Cha Cha came and places her warm cape over her body.

"Consort Bai, please be mindful of your health." Cha Cha mutters underneath her breath. Recently through these past years, Consort Bai wasn't well at all. Each year her condition had worsened.

"Is his highness returning today?" Consort Bai asked her.

"Sorry?" Cha Cha asked as she looks distracted at her pale mistress.

"I'm going out for a walk a little. Don't follow me." Feng Jiu said as she opens the door.

"Consort Bai, should I escort you out? You're not well." ChaCha said as she follows her.

"No need. I can manage." Feng Jiu said as she walks out the door.

Stepping out to the snow, she leaves out her footprint onto the snow. Though the cold breeze had made her nose red in the snow that had made the smallest color onto her face.
