The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Ali was waiting at the gate of Liu's mansion.
She was accompanied by a maidservant carrying a food box.
When Liu Zhan received the news, he hurriedly put on an outer garment and ran out.
His servant followed anxiously, whispering, "Young master, your clothes, shoes, and hair aren't neatly arranged. You'll be laughed at if you're all disheveled."
Liu Zhan couldn't hear any of this; all he knew was that the man had arrived very early and was waiting for him outside the mansion.
When Ah Li saw Liu Zhan rushing to the gate, still slightly out of breath, she smiled gently and said, "Slow down, I'm right here."
Liu Zhan placed his hand on his chest, calmed his breathing, and walked up to Ah Li, saying, "Your Highness has arrived. Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
"I was worried you were still asleep and didn't want to wake you."
At this moment, the tenderness in Ah Li's eyes was reserved only for Liu Zhan. She also said, "I brought breakfast from the Li family in the south of the city. I heard that you like that place the most."
After Ah Li finished speaking, the maidservant beside Ah Li immediately added, "His Highness went to queue up very early today. The shop hadn't even opened yet, so His Highness waited at the door."
Liu Zhan's beautiful eyes fell on Ah Li. What did he do to deserve such a wonderful prince?
"Your Highness, why are you so good to me?"
Liu Zhan finally voiced his true feelings; he really wanted an answer.
Ahri said, "Because you deserve it."
Liu Zhan likes her, and he's her intended husband, so of course she has to treat him well.
Liu Zhan got the answer, but he still felt it wasn't enough; he wanted to hear more.
Ah Li reached out and tugged at his collar, saying, "It's still early, you go inside and have a good meal, I'll wait for you here."
"Isn't Your Highness going in?"
Ali straightened Liu Zhan's collar, and his eyes never left her.
Ah Li said, "Not now, it wouldn't be good for your reputation. After we get married, I will tie your hair every day and wake up with you."
Ah Li's hand reached towards Liu Zhan's long hair near his ear, her fingertips following the hair down to behind his ear.
"Your Highness."
Liu Zhan felt a tingling sensation wherever Ah Li's fingertips touched, and his voice trembled as he cried out.
Ahri slowly withdrew her hand and said, "Let's go back."
Liu Zhan bit his lip, lowered his head shyly, and said, "Mmm."
He was moved.
Ah Li instructed the maid to hand the food box to the servant following behind Liu Zhan, and the servant carried the food box inside with Liu Zhan.
Ahri stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at the sky with a hint of pleasure on her lips. Sure enough, men are always very energetic when they wake up in the morning.
After Liu Zhan finished getting ready, he set off in the same carriage with a servant boy and Ali with a maid.
The place where the temple fair was held back then is still bustling with activity.
Ali held Liu Zhan's hand and together they wrote their names on a red ribbon.
Liu Zhan and Yu Li, may you be forever united in heart and live a long and happy life together.
A polished stone was tied to the other end of the red ribbon, which was said to be a "stone of unity".
Ah Li even asked Liu Zhan, "Are you going to throw it or should I?"
Liu Zhan was a little nervous. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to throw it or catch it, and that it would fall down. He gripped Ah Li's hand tightly and said, "Your Highness, please throw it."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Ali took Liu Zhan's hand and walked to the marriage tree.
The red ribbons on the trees fluttered in the breeze, and there were several wooden plaques with other people's wishes written on them, including those for marriage and those for the person they liked.
Ahri threw the red ribbon in her hand to the top of the marriage tree.
As Ahri made her movements, Liu Zhan held his breath in tension.
