Upon hearing Xu Caitong’s voice, Liu Bugun felt a surge of joy in his heart. He turned around to see a magnificent black horse galloping towards him on the path behind, carrying a beautiful woman on its back. Who else could this be but his beloved Rainbow? Liu Bugun rushed down the hillock, and the horse stopped right in front of him. Xu Caitong dismounted, meeting Liu Bugun’s fervent gaze; she could hardly believe what was unfolding before her. Overwhelmed with joy, she threw herself into Liu Bugun’s arms. “Rainbow,” Liu Bugun said, dropping his Moye Sword to the ground and embracing Caitong tightly. His warm lips kissed her eyes, her nose, and finally sealed her lips as he murmured, “I won’t let you leave me again, never!”
Xu Caitong could no longer control her emotions, tears streaming down her face. Yes, she loved him, perhaps from the moment she saw him, or perhaps her purpose in returning to the Five Dynasties was all part of a divine plan, all because of this man. They were destined for each other since the dawn of time; he was hers, and she was his. Liu Bugun kissed Caitong, tasting the tears that slid down her cheeks. He gently sucked away her tears, her fragrance filling his senses, this woman whom he loved with the depth of his soul. “Why, Rainbow?” Liu Bugun asked softly. “I…” Xu Caitong buried her face in Liu Bugun’s chest, tears of happiness flowing. “Do you miss me, Rainbow?” Liu Bugun asked again. Xu Caitong nodded lightly; she couldn’t express the depth of her love for him, even though they were from different times and educated differently, she couldn’t help but love him.
