"It's a pleasure to meet you ChenAn!" TongQi welcomes him enthusiastically. Pouring down bowls of wine, he handed ChenAn a bowl before gulping down his. TongQi's face reddens with his chin soaked in wine, and soon he starts to hiccup. Seeing this, DeYue can't help but laugh at his friend's condition.

Having his sights towards the window, DeYue could almost feel the calming breeze of the wind. Slowly drifting away from the greyish clouds from the moon, as it reveals how spherical the moon is tonight. "My lords and customers! May I have your attention?" the café owner calls. "Later in time, we will be having a beautiful lady sing for us. Let us have the most enjoyable night!" The owner announces.

"I wonder who she is?" YanTing wonders. "I heard she is the most beautiful woman in town, some say just by looking at her, she would make you forget what you're doing at that moment in time," ChenAn says. "Really? Then I won't be bothered by her effects since I can't see," YanTing jokes. "Well lucky you," DeYue says.

"Some even calls her a goddess," ChenAn added. Upon hearing this, TongQi sits back up. Surprised by this DeYue asks, "Are you alright?". Elegantly, TongQi lifts his wine up, reflecting the moon in his wine, he gently sips his wine, not letting any spilling down his chin.

"The moon reflects in my wine,

While the wind carries away my sorrow.

With my heart aches for us to meet,

I will always wait for you to come!"

TongQi composes.

"What in the world?" ChenAn confused about what just happened. "Is it a poem for the lady?" YanTing asks. "Exactly!" TongQi corrects, before getting smacked behind his head. "Cut that prince act of yours! Drink like a man, that's how you attract the ladies!" ChenAn interrupts.

"Why you little..!" "Quiet! The shows about to start!" ChenAn bluntly ignores him. As all the attention is shifted towards the center of the building.

A young lady sits at the center of attention, with her slender waist and a bright mudan flower attached on her hair, emitting a sweet flowery scent around her. "She's truly a goddess," DeYue praises. "Wish I could see," YanTing says with a hint of jealousy. Hearing this DeYue chuckles a bit, as he holds her hand tightly. "She is beautiful and all but, she still can't be compared with my wife," DeYue says. "You really are a sweet talker aren't you,"

As their face drew closer towards each other, TongQi interrupts them with his drunken attitude. "ChenAn look! That's the part where they both is gonna kiss soon!" TongQi says out loud, which resulted in another smack at the back of his head by DeYue.

"You really should stop drinking," ChenAn worriedly says, taking his wine away from him.

"Hey! Give it back!" TongQi demanded, which ChenAn ignores him completely. "Ignoring me again?! I think I'd have to teach you a lesson boy!" Saying this, TongQi threw himself on top of ChenAn and they both start to wrestle over a wine. With YanTing and DeYue burst into laughter behind the scenes. After the laughter dies down, YanTing tugs DeYue by his shirt.

"Can we go somewhere else for a bit? There's something I need to tell you about."
