"As for the shirong seal, we indeed need to be cautious." Lian said while he was absent minded towards Ai's warning's.

As Ai turned to left she sighed. She aware of near future, anxious but yet remained clam.

Those sorrows was drowning in beneath summers melodic serenity.Beneath petal's as if the world want's to veil her grievance, her sorrows & hatred.

Near , Mei-hui hall the melody of elegy's serenade broke the silence of chamber. Ai swiftly runned her hands over guqin's string.While performing the tune, she met a pair of jet-black eyes, which showed affection towards her, As they both were under willow tree covered in petals. Drowned in serenades melody . Lian recited "Drunken Joy" as he amicably offers smiles toward Ai

" In lovers eyes foremost is beauty,

Before our wine cups, we marry -make an vain

So grieved the candlelit, wishes to remorse pain

In tears it melt's till moonlit's again. ''
