However, Shou was in his thoughts. " Brother Shou?", Will asked.
Shou came back to his sense and said, " Oh, sorry. I was thinking and didn't hear you calling. Umm, sure. I guess I will go too. "
Will smiled and said thank you to Shou.
After that , they two set off to the military camp together. But, there were guards with them this time because of the king's order.
" Mei Shu will come there too,right? I don't know how to face her to be honest. We haven't seen each other since that accident. I guess she is also busy. " , Shou thought.
Will saw Shou's frown face and asked," brother, do you have anything in your mind? You have been dazing off all the way. "
Shou looked at Will and then he looked down and answered, " It's okay. I am fine. I am just worrying if Mei Shu would find out about me joining army. "
Will laughed and answered, " Haha. You really are a worried type. Don't worry. She won't find out. After all, she trusts people really and she doesn't easily know whether someone is lying to her or not. She is so naive and innocent you know. You are just being too worried. I even thought it was something serious because of your face. "
Shou chuckled and said," I see. haha".
Although he giggled, he still was feeling uneasy. " Am I lying to her now? Yeah, I am lying to her. She trusts me always. But what about me? I am lying to her over a small matter. Should I tell her? " he thought and made an inner sigh.
Shou came all the way to the camp with a heavy feeling in his heart. And as he thought, when they arrived at the camp, Mei Shu was already there.
" Sure enough. She is here. " , Shou thought. " I guess I will just talk to her later about the truth. For now , I will only act normal like before. "
Shou walked forward Mei Shu and he said," What a honor to meet you, Your high- " . He was closing his eyes as he was smiling. When he opened his eyes before he finished his words, Mei Shu was already gone. She walked away and met the other soldiers.
Shou felt miserable. His heart throbbed and he couldn't breathe properly for a second. But he controlled himself and acted like nothing happened.
No one saw that moment except Will. He saw that because earlier Shou left him without telling. And he was going to speak with him.
" I sense misunderstandings coming." , Will thought.
Shou was sad and upset. " Does she hate me ? Did I do anything wrong? " , he asked himself over and over again.
Everyone had lots of fun at the party . Some drank alcohol and got wasted totally. Shou drank some too. He left the crowd as it was really noisy there and he went to the beach.
" I should sober up a bit. Maybe I should read some book and relax ? I am having many thoughts right now. Mei Shu..."
Shou closed his eyes for a while. He didn't want to do anything. At the same time, Mei Shu was having some drinks with her sister, Mei Yan in Mei Yan's tent.
" sis, you should really get yourself a boyfriend for real. Or you will end up alone. Single forever." , Mei Shu said with a serious face.
Mei Yan made a poker face and answered, " Are you dumb or what? You are still too naive , my dear little sister. Do you know how complicated a relationship can be? First , they are like the sweetest and happiest couple in the world. Then , they started to get jealous or mad at each other easily. And then they fight. They started to have eyes on another ones. In the end, they became worse than strangers. And remember, if your boyfriend fights with you at the early term of your love life and if you two fight everyday, then it means he still cares for you. But if you two fight after being in relationship for a long time, it has two possibilities. One : he might still have feelings for you but he has just some problems and stress out. Two : he might have another girl behind you and he got tired of you. And after being in relationship for a long time and he doesn't even fight back if you says something , then it means he has lost feelings for you completely and he is totally tired of you. ", Mei Yan explained to Mei Shu even though she was totally drunk.
Mei Shu thought with a serious face for a while and then she smiled foolishly and said, " My dear sister, you really know a lot of love life. But how? I mean you don't even have a boyfriend nor an ex. " she laughed while saying.
Mei Yan made a poker face and said," Heyyy. Don't talk like that. I just don't want to get one, you know. If I want to get one, I can get it easily right away. Okay. Stop fooling around. You are having some problems with Shou , aren't you? Did he say anything bad to you? If so, I am gonna kill him. How dare he mess with my sister? I will teach him a lesson. " Mei Yan's overprotective sister mood was on immediately.
" Haha sis ,quit it. Let's just be ourselves alone and drink. " , Mei Shu said nervously.
After drinking for an hour, Mei Yan was drunk and she fell asleep. Mei Shu took her to her bed and left.
" What should I do? I ignored him today. He must be angry at me. " , Mei Shu sighed. She walked towards the stream which was near the camp.
" It's so refreshing here. The air is so fresh and it is blowing slowly. It feels good. The moon is shining brightly especially today. Come to think of it. Shou and I were under the moonlight once. "
Mei Shu sighed again, " Well even if we are together at this moment, things won't work out. The moment will be really awkward. "
She lifed her head from heading down and saw someone sitting by the stream under the moonlight alone.
