When Ruan wakes up, he finds that a'cheng is still restless. He tells Ruan that he has bought a month's worth of chickens. Ruan tells Roxane that he is recovering from his injuries, not from childbirth. He asks Roxane why she is still avoiding him. Roxane tells him that she has already gotten her identity paper, so that she can no longer be slandered as a bandit because of him. She tells him about a girl she saved who fell into the river and the family insisted that she push her into it. The girl hung her head, and she remained silent. She asks Ruan to invent her a waterproof powder so that her tattoo won't be exposed even if she dives into the water, even if it's dead serious. She also tells him to drink her chicken soup while it is still hot. She has a question: how did Ruan save himself from a young master all by himself? He tells her that he knew he wasn't very good at fighting, so he hired some extra muscles to help him rescue her. He thanks Roxane for her help, and he says that he's very grateful for her rescue. He also says that if he likes her, then why isn't he avoiding him? Roxane says that she'll have to find out the answer herself, since he doesn't want to tell her.
