After the usual banquet, everyone dispersed and returned to their tents for the rest of the night. Xuebao who received his father's permission to stay over Tuzi's place wasn't permitted instead the latter was asked to stay in the Tribe Leader's place specifically at Xuebao's room.
Xuebao, who brought his friend home, had a huge thing following after him. At the beginning he chose to ignore it until they arrived in his personal room. He stopped Meizhou from following inside his place.
Xuebao, "You should retire for the night. This is already my place." he said.
Meizhou at first stared at Xuebao's emotionless face for a few minutes until he bowed shortly to greet him farewell in silence before disappearing from his line of sight.
"Xuebao, is it alright for you to push away your protector?" asked Tuzi worriedly. Afraid that his friend might have offended his official protector.
