(I hope you enjoy this chapter my typing is sort of going to change because, I'm trying to use less of these ". So anyways enjoy the story!)
As Da Qiao and Jiang Wei watched over Lu Xun and Lady Puo; they noticed that Lu Xun was only nodding and fidgeting with his chopsticks. They were worried that he might offend Lady Puo but, she didn't seem to notice. Later on, they told the young woman that they must be off, as soon as possible; she let them leave.
"So Lu Xun, I'm guessing a big no to that one?" Jiang Wei asked.
"Yea she isn't exactly what I'm looking for…is that alright with you Da and Jiang?"
"That's fine with me!" Da Qiao said.
"I think we should go visit the next Lady."
"Who may that be!"
"That would be Zhang Fei's three daughters, Li Li, Pang, and"
"That's sounds perfect!" Lu Xun interrupted.
"Hmm wasn't the other one killed by a Wei officer Jiang?" Da questioned.
"Yes that's correct. Zhang Fei fights like a real tiger when it comes to the Wei Kingdom."
………………………………………………………………………………
"So Lady Li, what is it that you enjoy the most when you are with someone?" Lu Xun asked.
"I basically like to get to know them and listen to them. If I can help in anyway, then I do."
"So do you miss your sister Zu…?"
"Yes, I miss her a lot sometimes I hear father cry at night. He says and repeats this over and over "I should've been there…I wasn't I was here feasting…" And then he would cry some more. I have heard nothing more. "
"I'm sorry Lady Li, if you need some time alone I will be glad to let you do so."
"Thankyou…I guess you will be asking questions to my sister Pang now right?" Li mentioned.
"Yes. I am." Lu Xun replied.
………………………………………………………………………………
"Lady Pang I am delighted to see you again and, not on the battlefield."
"So, Lu Xun…why have you come here?"
"I have come here seeking a wife."
"Well then you're not looking at her right now!"
Lady Pang sprinted out of the palace and started running to the closest hiding spot in the court yard. Lu Xun dashed out looking for her, and wondered why she ran from him. Jiang Wei and Da Qiao were both startled to see Lu Xun race after Lady Pang; for they both knew and heard that Lu Xun never ran after any woman.
"Lady Pang I'm sorry if I did anything to offend you in any way. But, please don't hide from me. I do not wish to hurt you."
"If you don't wish to hurt me then...you have to remember when we were going to school together when we were both 9!" Lady Pang requested.
"What? I don't remember you when we were smaller."
"So, after all this time you forgot about this promise ring you gave me?"
"Promise ring…!"
(Back Then)
"Lu Xun, where are you going? Take me with you!"
"I'm sorry Pang, but my father and I are moving to Wu."
"Huh?"
"But, before I leave I want you to have this promise ring."
"This is your mothers' "White Promise Ring" thankyou!"
"Since my mother died she always said give this to the girl you loved."
"…"
"Don't worry Pang; we'll see each other someday. And when that day comes I will take you and create a new life together! But, I must go now."
"Bye Lu Xun…"
"Good bye Pang…"
(Back to the Present)
"And that's our story of this promise ring!"
"I…I remember! I'm so sorry Pang! (Holding her in his arms)"
"It's alright now that we have each other nothing can stop us."
Da Qiao and Jiang Wei were standing there with their mouths dropping and there eyes were wide open. They were both in shock, and were so happy at the same time. Lu Xun and Lady Pang were both embracing each other until Da Qiao and Jiang Wei started tearing up.
………………………………………………………………………………
"Pang I'm sorry I forgot about you…I never meant to. It's just when I got to Wu the first day I noticed a younger girl named Da Qiao and I thought she was the most spectacular thing. But, now I remember you. You were the one to take my mothers death pain away from me. I thankyou."
"Don't be so sappy! I heard rumors that the Great Lu Xun had no time for emotions, now I know the truth."
"Huh?"
"I'm just kidding!"
"Listen Pang there's something I must tell you…"
"Ok I'm here with wide ears!"
"(Laughs) Well…you see my doctor back in Wu has told me that there is something heading towards the center of my eye and I…I could go blind…there is an operation that he has promised to do for me but he is in critical shape from an ambush from Wei."
"So how am I supposed to help you?"
"I was told that there is a doctor here in Shu that could help me?"
"Dr…Dr. Chui! I will send for him! Thought it may take him about three months to get back…"
"That's fine, I need help as fast as I can. I am almost completely blind."
"Is that why I heard that one of the Wei generals stabbed you when you were trying to do your muosu?"
"Yes. How do these rumors travel so fast?"
"Well I have spies in Wei that will protect you but, only when you are not in a private battle."
"So you've been watching me all this time?"
"Yes, that's correct!"
"Oh…"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No…but after all these years you still watched over me…"
"Please no more sappiness it hurts me when I see you tear up."
………………………………………………………………………………
From a distance Da Qiao and Jiang Wei started doing the boogie and gladly took to many drinks and past out. On the way back to Jiang Wei's home Lu Xun and Li Li, mounted Da Qiao and Jiang Wei on horses. And rode the horses back home.
(Next morning)
"Da Qiao are you feeling alright!" Jiang Wei asked.
"Yes, why?"
"Last night or should I say early morning you were very feverish."
"Oh, do not worry about me I am healthier than an ox!"
"What happens if it's a very, very, very ill ox!"
"Oh, well in that case bring me some medicine?"
"I'm just kidding since you're so energized lets go for a walk…"
"Oh…boy where!"
"Hiking?"
"Okay! But, how did Pang and Lu Xun do!"
"They are out eating breakfast."
"Whoa! They are really hitting it off!"
"Yes, but Da we should be leaving soon so I recommend you get ready."
"That's true I'll be back in a minute!"
Jiang Wei was so happy but, he felt an empty spot in his heart. He was wondering why? He started to gaze out on the hiking range and he was thinking that maybe he should? Then he said he would do the thing he wanted to do the thing when he first saw Da Qiao. He said out loud "I'll do that when we get back tonight!"
………………………………………………………………………………
Zhao Yun and Xiao Qiao were both having a great time talking to each other some more but, she remembered the way Zhou Yu hugged her and kiss her. She always felt her knees bending and she could always never, stand up; when they were embracing each other. Suddenly Zhao Yun spoke.
"Xiao Qiao I have noticed just now that you long for Zhou Yu, I hope that you two will get back together."
Xiao Qiao saw the sadness in Zhou Yu's eyes and when he was walking away she grabbed him by his arms and said "Even though I long for him I cannot have him he no longer belongs to me. So therefore I have to admit it; when I was talking to you before you and I fell asleep, I thought that well…this may sound stupid but, I thought that I had true feelings for you." Zhao Yun was silent and was in his own world at the moment, thinking of the rest of his life with Xiao Qiao.
"Zhao Yun?"
"… (In another dimension)"
"Listen I understand if I was sudden like my sister but, I realize that I truly have fallen for you even though we have known each other shortly."
"Xiao Qiao…?"
"Yes."
"I love you."
"…really?"
"Yes. I have felt that way when you arrived here in Shu and I tried to let you know how I felt by being friends first but after a while I couldn't hold my feelings in anymore."
"Alright…then I love you too!"
………………………………………………………………………………
Wu Kingdom
Zhou Yu sat on the porch playing a melody with his flute, the song he played reminded him of Xiao Qiao and he longed for her even though he knew it was too late. And that she could possibly never come back to him after her spent the night with Sun Ce's step daughter.
"Why have I been so foolish!"
Zhou Yu banged the table.
"Why…why did I let her go?"
"This is all my fault!"
(Back Then)
"Zhou Yu? Are you sure with me going to Shu for my sister's wedding?"
"Yeah, I don't care; don't come back if you don't want to."
"Zhou Yu, I told you I am not mad at you any more for spending the night with that whore."
"She isn't a whore she can be a decent person sometimes."
"So it's true you do have feelings for such a person you barely know…"
"No…well I don't know…"
"Fine then I will be leaving and maybe, just maybe I won't return, but, if I do it's probably to get all my luggage!"
"See if I care!"
(End of Memory)
Zhou Yu's heart was in pain and then he told him self I know she still loves me some where in her heart I can sense it I must go and find her before it's too late! Later Sun Jian was thinking why his son had married a mistress that he never really knew. And then he decided that he was going to straighten his son out. Before he left his room his maid brung him a letter from Da Qiao. Sun Jian carefully read it. It said : Lord Sun Jian, I am sorry for leaving Wu but, with knowing Sun Ce cheating on me tore my heart up. I then moved to Shu and have found a happy marriage to Jiang Wei of Shu, my sister Xiao Qiao has also found a husband Zhao Yun of Shu. Lu Xun has remarkably met his childhood sweetheart Pang one of Zhang Fei's daughters. He ended up running after her; I know it maybe too much for you to take in but, please accept my apology please inform Sun Ce and Zhou Yu my lord.
Sincerely, Da Qiao of Shu:
Sun Jian understood all of what has happened and has accepted everything they have done in Shu he was still under pressure and, totally forgot about straightening out Sun Ce.
