The next day, Physician Xiao tells Ming that he doesn't want Ming to get hurt riding with him, because Ming is very possessive of his lovers in the novel. He tells Ming not to turn around and kiss Ming, and Ming says he'll sing a song so they can break the silence. Ming is glad that he's back, and tells him to go to the wounded, because General huang is in a bad mood. Ming tells Doctor Xiao that he has been treating wounded all day, and that's why he needs to take a break. Ming says that he knows this because he'd been using the story to play matchmaker between Ming and his wives, but Ming has never shown any interest in Ming's women.
