"Why do Your Majesty suddenly want to admire the moon tonight?" A woman dressed in pink robes asked curiously.

"It's a full moon tonight, and Yue Hua Palace is the best place to admire the moon." The man dressed in white robes replied.

"The Moon is indeed beautiful tonight!" She smiled and looked up at the moon.

"Since we are feeling delighted on such a rare day, why don't I play a song for you to hear?" He smiled at her sweetly and turned around to pick up his Zither.

As he started to play the Zither, she stood up and started dancing gracefully. He couldn't take his eyes off her when she was dancing because she was too beautiful.

After she finished dancing, he carried her in his arms and brought her into the room. He sat on the bed, and she was seated directly on his lap.

They smiled at each other lovingly and gazed deeply into each others' eyes. She slowly traced her fingers along his shoulders, and he caresses her face gently.

Then he untied her outer robe, and it fell to the floor. She was now left with nothing but a thin white inner garment on.

She closed her eyes and leaned in closer, pressing her soft lips on his. He kissed her back passionately while he pushed her onto the bed. Then he slowly kissed her bare shoulders.

The kiss became hot and intense, and they started rolling on top of each other.

In reality, all these were happening in Dong Hua's dream. It appears that the lady in pink robes was Feng Jiu, and he was the man in white robes.

He couldn't stop smiling in his sleep, and he was enjoying every moment of it. Then he rolled out of his mattress, and it woke him up from the dream.

He immediately sat up and thought to himself in embarrassment, "How could I dream of such a dirty dream about Jiu-er?! I'm so dirty-minded!"

As the saying goes, what you dream at night is reflective of what you're thinking during the day.

At the same time, Dong Hua couldn't help but smile to himself at the thought of it. He then decided to take a shower so that he could calm himself down after that steamy dream.

----------------------------------------

Feng Jiu was awake by the time Dong Hua came out from his shower. Dong Hua avoided eye contact with Feng Jiu during breakfast, as he was feeling embarrassed about the dream that he had this morning.

"What's wrong, Dong Hua? You seem to be acting a little different this morning." Feng Jiu casually asked.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just had a bad sleep, that's all. So don't worry about me!" Dong Hua promptly replied, while trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Oh, okay, you should have a good sleep tonight then! By the way, I forgot to inform you that we will be hosting a small gathering tonight since I'm having a day off at work. We will have Hot Pot here, and it will only be between close friends." Feng Jiu replied.

"Oh! That sounds nice. Who will be coming?" Dong Hua asked curiously.

"Lian Song and Si Ming will be here for sure. Cha Cha, Cheng Yu will be coming as well. Oh, and Ye Qingti will be coming slightly later as he will be working late today."

"Oh... Ye Qingti will be here too?" Dong Hua asked softly, trying to hide his jealousy.

"Of course, he will be here! He's my best friend. I need to head back to the supermarket again, to get some ingredients and prepare for the Hot Pot tonight. If you're tired, you can stay behind and rest."

"No! I'm coming with you! I'm a gentleman, how could I allow my Jiu-er to carry all the heavy stuff on her own?!" Dong Hua then quickly finished up his breakfast and got ready to leave.

----------------------------------------

"What should we get, Jiu-er?"

"Hmm... We are getting some seafood for the hotpot. Everyone likes seafood except Qingti because he's allergic to all kinds of seafood. I'll get him some meat instead. What do you like to eat, Dong Hua?"

Dong Hua was feeling a little jealous of Ye Qingti because Feng Jiu knows more about Ye Qingti's preferences than his.

Dong Hua was also feeling upset because he felt that he doesn't know anything about Feng Jiu.

Unbeknownst to Dong Hua, they were just strangers before this incident. He just assumed that he had forgotten all about their past memories together.

Out of a sudden, he came to realize that Ye Qingti couldn't be the one to made sweet and sour fish for Feng Jiu because he's allergic to seafood.

It appeared that he was still bothered by what Feng Jiu said last night about someone making the sweet and fish for her.

"Can Ye Qingti cook? I'm only asking out of curiosity." He brushed it off as a casual question to Feng Jiu so that he can confirm his doubts.

"Haha, no way! Ye Qingti can't cook. The only two things that he can cook is rice and instant noodles." Feng Jiu then laughed and continued to fill their shopping cart with more food.

Dong Hua smiled to himself. He felt relieved, and he shamelessly thought to himself that Ye Qingti wouldn't be able to win him in cooking then. Dong Hua was good at everything, and his only weakness was cooking.

Feng Jiu and Dong Hua then headed home straight after getting everything, so that they can start preparing for the hotpot tonight.

It appeared that someone was following them again, but this time around, Feng Jiu didn't notice anything.

----------------------------------------

"I'll need your help in preparing the food." Feng Jiu said to Dong Hua.

"I'll be more than happy to help, Jiu-er! Just tell me what to do, and I'll get right down to it immediately!" Dong Hua excitedly put on an apron.

"Okay, start by washing the vegetables." Feng Jiu pointed towards the huge bag of vegetables.

"Yes, boss!" He happily ran towards the sink and started washing the vegetables.

Soon, everything was ready, and all they have to do was to lay them out on the dining table.

Dong Hua sneakily went behind Feng Jiu and hugged her from the back when she was taking the utensils out from the top cupboard.

"What are you doing, Dong Hua?!" Feng Jiu exclaimed.

"I just can't resist myself from hugging you, Jiu-er. You look so cute when you're doing something serious. It makes me think of what a virtuous wife you'll be in the future." Dong Hua whispered into her ear.

Feng Jiu silently thought to herself in shock, "Wife...? I have never thought that I could hear those words coming out from Dong Hua's mouth."

Just when she was about to react to what Dong Hua said, the doorbell rang.

"Oh! They must be here. I'll go open the door!" Feng Jiu then quickly pulled away from Dong Hua and ran towards the door.

Some day, I'll make you my wife, Jiu-er.
