With a tug on the reins, she turned around on her horse's back.
Without further words, she was ready to leave.
Not waiting for Zhao Rong to speak again, she lightly commanded "drive" and spurred her horse with a whip.
A crisp jingling of bells rang out in unison with the horse's neigh, the steed lifted its front legs, and galloped towards the dense woods from whence it came.
The sound of horse hooves clattered.
Zhao Rong watched her elegant and carefree figure in the distance, the abruptly ended song of the migrating geese came to mind, and suddenly he saw her look back while galloping wildly.
"The unfinished melody, I shall continue next time..."
"Cousin, I'll be waiting for you in Gusu!"
She shouted, and without turning her head, left.
Zhao Rong smiled to himself from behind.
