The stars on the grassland at night were particularly bright. Yu Bu Tong missed the prosperity of Bianjing, with its luxurious wine shops and bustling crowds. There was His Majesty, who seemed frivolous but often unexpected, and his colleagues.
Yu Bu Tong was alone. His wife and daughter died in a plague in the capital, and he never married or took a concubine. Whenever he saw Qiqige, he would think of his daughter.
This night, Meiduoer did not bring any food. She was just a slave. When she liked you, she would give you something to eat. When she hated you, you had to starve.

Qiqige came to the sheep pen with a plate, and Yu Bu Tong happily opened the door and took the food on the plate.

She stopped outside the sheepfold and saw Yu Bu Tong holding Qi Qi Ge lovingly. Qi Qi Ge had already fallen asleep. Yu Bu Tong hummed the ballad softly, and Mei Duo Er could not help but listen to it in fascination.
