Li Hua gently moved her hand across the overcoat that Lóng Wei had put on. She patted his shoulders and told him that she would take good care of herself in his absence.
"I have no idea how I will stay away from you," Lóng Wei said, and he caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. He touched his forehead with hers and closed his eyes. "Don't let yourself get hurt in any way," he said.
"I won't," Li Hua said, and their noses touched. They stayed in that position for a while until they moved closer to each other for a kiss. It was gentle and short. "Travel safely and do not fight with your elder brothers," Li Hua advised him.
"What if they make me angry?" Lóng Wei inquired.
"Then, the prince has to let it go," she stated.
