FLASHBACK

...He quickly ran to her and carried her in a bridal style

***

Bai Ju: How dare you carry the princess like this?

***

Bai Ju: Hey! Why did you put me down? Do you want to hurt me?

PRESENT MOMENT

Chu Xien:(taps General Luo) General, what are you thinking about?

Chih-ming:(looks at Chu Xien) She did what only one person would dare do.

Chu Xien: You mean her highness? What did she do?

Chih-ming: She pretended to have a pain in her chest, then after I carried her, she hit my nose and revealed there was nothing wrong with her. Who do you know does that?

Chu Xien: You told me never to mention her again (clears his throat) I hope you don't start falling for the princess, she's about to get married.

Chih-ming:(glares at Chu Xien)

Chu Xien: I'm used to your glares, it's nothing new... Can you please give a little smile, I think I'm getting scared...

A WEEK AND HALF LATER

It was the day Bai Ju was leaving Western Rong. Bai Rong and some other officials walked her to the decorated carriage. General Luo and Chu Xien who were on different horses were there waiting for her. Shufen, some guards and some other maids were there too standing beside the carriage. Bai Ju turned to look at Bai Rong.

Bai Ju:(smiles) I'm missing you already.

Bai Rong:(pats her hair) Don't worry, General Luo will stay with you and I'll come to Northern Wei when your wedding date's been fixed.

Bai Ju:(smiles) You'll be alone, brother.

Bai Rong: Don't worry about that

Bai Ju:(brings out a jade from her chest pocket and gives to Bai Rong) I bought this for you the last time I went to the tea house, it's a representation of my feelings to you. Always take it with you to remember me.

Bai Rong:(smiles) I will

Bai Ju: Bye.

Bai Rong: Say see you soon

Bai Ju:(smiles) See you soon (she walks to the carriage as Shufen helped her enter the carriage)...
