Jiang Wei heard the sound of someone training, which caught his attention since those training grounds weren't used in a while.
Wanting to see who was there, the Shu general stops by the entrance and merely observed the stranger.
⠀
The general offers one of the crepes to her, gesturing for Mei Hui to take it.
“I knocked on your chambers to invite you to come but you weren't there.”
⠀
⠀
⠀
He walks past the crowd, carrying the two crepes he bought at the food stall. The last few gazes that lingered following him eventually land on Mei Hui, taking the Apothecary in. And yet no eyes gazed at her so tenderly as Jiang Wei did.
“I was hoping to find you here.”

She recognized that voice. Mei Hui turned her head towards the source ー a smile formed upon her lips upon seeing her beloved. She'd chuckle at his sheepish reaction.
❛ Master Jiang Wei! Over here! ❜ ✨
The apothecary waved at Jiang Wei, beckoning him over.

⠀a certain someone he loved too dearly. She was in the festival too?
What a merry sight! It was enough to give Jiang Wei butterflies.
“Hey!” He shouted, calling out for her but almost everyone around him averted their eyes to him instead. “Err...”

The shu general was waiting in line in a stall, but noticing how two kids arrived after him he decided to let him go before him. They looked famished, even if Jiang Wei wated waiting in long lines.
“Is that...?” He squinted his eyes, spotting—–

⠀⠀❛ That's all i want to make you
⠀⠀feel —— good things. ❜
⠀⠀Jiang Wei nodded, smiling at
⠀⠀the apothecary.⠀He wonders
⠀⠀whether she'd open it now or
⠀⠀later but didn't want to rush
⠀⠀Mei Hui.

⠀⠀That was a merry sight, it was
⠀⠀the kinda that made his heart
⠀⠀soar,⠀⠀⠀ even⠀ amidst those
⠀⠀warring times.
⠀⠀❛ I'm glad you are happy. ❜⠀He

The apothecary giggled, hands finding its way to her flaring red cheeks ー she could literally feel her cheeks were warm, and her heart thumps loudly within her chest.
❛ Oh, no ...what should I do, Master Jiang Wei? This feeling right now ...I'm so happy! ❜

⠀⠀Once a nap was considered again,
⠀⠀the general nearly broke in a cold
⠀⠀sweat.
⠀⠀❛ Ah– that!⠀Err, i can't lie to you.
⠀⠀I was passing by the shopping
⠀⠀district earlier⠀and⠀something
⠀⠀reminded me of you. ❜
⠀⠀He admitted, feeling bashful...

❛ I was working all morning...I figured that I should take a short napー ❜
She said, motioning over towards the bed. That's when the apothecary noticed the gifts on her bed. Is this what Jiang Wei is trying to hide?
❛ Oh, my! Did someone misplace their gifts? ❜
