"Zi Wei Ge Ge Dao!"

ZW: "XYZ, Qing-er!"

XYZ: "ZW!"

Qing-er: "Hello, we were just finishing up."

XYZ: "Guess what? I've finished a whole section in cheng-ru-da-quan!"

ZW: "You have? Cognratulations!"

Qing-er: "Yes, I'm very proud of her."

XYZ: "That's because I've had such a good teacher!"

Qing-er: "So, ZW. What's the good news? You're grinning so big!"

ZW: "Good news, most definitely. Er Tai and Sai Ya are coming home this spring!"

XYZ: "They are? Ha! Now I've got someone to play with. You two are nice and everything, but you can't fight with me!'

Laughing, ZW cautioned, "XYZ! Sai Ya might not have time to fight with you."

XYZ: "Why not?"

ZW: "She's a mother now."

Qing-er: "Really? I've heard about Princess Sai Ya. Is she really like XYZ?"

XYZ: "A mother! (to Qing-er) Yes she's like me. If it weren't for her, heaven knows when I would have gotten ZW's identity straightened out. She liked Er Kang you know."

Qing-er: "Oh?"

ZW nodded: "XYZ, you're getting ahead of the story. Qing-er, I'll fill you in."

After Qing-er heard the girls' story (basically HZGG I), she said to ZW: "ZW, I see I wasn't wrong to step aside. You and Er Kang have sure been through a lot."

XYZ: "Of course you were right! You wouldn't have met my brother if you didn't!"

As Qing-er blushed, ZW said: "Speaking of XJ, how are things between you two?"

Qing-er: "I haven't seen him in a while, because of the snow."

Just then: "Xiao Jian da ye dao!"

XJ: "XYZ! Time for your lesson!" Seeing ZW and Qing-er, he added, "Oh, is this a bad time?"

XYZ: "Ge! Just in time, we were just talking about you."

XJ: "You were?" He looked from XYZ's sparkling eyes to ZW's knowing grin to Qing-er's pink face.

XYZ: "Yep! Qing-er was just saying that she missed you."

Qing-er: "XYZ! I…" She saw XJ looking at her and blushed even more.

ZY: "XYZ!"

XYZ: "What? Oh, yeah, come with me ZW, I want to visit Xiao Pian Zi at Shu Fang Zhai. I haven't been there in a while."

Qing-er: "You're leaving? Then I should go too."

XJ: "Me too."

XYZ: "Oh no you don't." So saying, she dragged ZW to the door. "You two are going to have a nice talk together" Opening the door, she called back, "See you two later!"

Outisde

ZW: "XYZ! What are you trying to do?"

XYZ: "Do them both a favor, of course. Qing-er's just like you, she's too shy to say anything. You don't know, but she purposefully leaves whenever XJ comes for my xiao lessons."

ZW: "But, this is forcing them. Will it work?"

XYZ: "Who knows. I just thought that we should at least give them an opportunity."

ZW: "XYZ! Wo fu le ni! Oh, so was it a lie that you wanted to go to Shu Fang Zhai?"

XYZ: "Of course not! But it does make a nice cover, doesn't it?"

ZW: "But, still…I feel bad for Qing-er. We kind of just abandoned her."

XYZ: "ZW! Stop worrying! Let's go see my parrot. Qing-er's a big girl, she can take care of herself. Come one!"

ZW: "Alright, I just hope your plan works."
