Shang He stared at the sleeping Meng Gui lying beside him. His fair skin was covered in green and purple marks and bites. It was obvious how fierce they rolled in the sheets, that were now creased and even looked about to be torn in the edges. It was after they finished did Meng Gui finally tell him about what he has seen, between him and that merchant's daughter.
Shang He felt anger and regret. He really doesn't remember what happened that time. He only remembered that that girl called him, telling him that her father is calling him, only to know later that the water she gave him was drugged. Perhaps her feelings towards him are sincere, since she didn't tell the officials, that later took her away with her arrested father and his friends, that there was one extra person inside the room.
