'It's such an important occasion…how can he not be here?' Chi Cheng pondered, twirling the strands of his azure hair with his fingers. 'If I were to dance with him…this ceremony would appear as though we are wedding each other…that doesn't sound so bad.' His cheeks warmed with a lovely smile at the thought of being betrothed to Han Xuelian. 'Perhaps, in another lifetime we could share something so lovely as a marital bond.'
