“Baobei, are you alright?” You hear Xie Lian comment from beside you, “You’ve been staring at your glass for nearly ten minutes now…” Xie Lian rubs his hand along your back.

You grumble softly, “I’m fine A-Lian, I just got distracted”

Xie Lian arches his brow at you but he doesn’t question you further. You’ve been like this a few days now. Staring off into space, being confused over simple things, mixing things up, and fumbling your words. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian know it’s because you haven’t been getting good sleep. 

“Beloved, is there a reason you put your hair-pin in the seasoning cabinet,” Hua Cheng hums and runs his fingers through your hair. Your hair has been loose all day because you couldn’t find your hair pin. 

You flush pink in embarrassment as Hua Cheng puts up your hair, “Well it certainly wasn’t on purpose, San Lang!”

“Mm,” Hua Cheng kisses your forehead, “Then this one should also tell you that your book is in the washroom?”

Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are both growing more concerned the more days that pass. They refuse to stand by anymore!

This time, tonight when you go to the bedroom Xie Lian quickly tugs you into bed. You grunt softly from surprise. Being tugged into soft sheets, where two handsome men wait for you in silky robes. You’re truly blessed. You sigh softly, pecking Xie Lian on the lips, “No reason to tug, my love” 

“All the reason,” Xie Lian hums and presses a kiss to your collar bone. 

Hua Cheng shuffles closer behind you and gives a quick peck to your shoulder. “Our beloved needs to get plenty of rest tonight.”

You grumble at him, and get comfortable between the two, “I will most certainly try. I’ve just had a hard time recently getting to sleep.”

“Mm,” Hua Cheng flashes a mischievous smile, “If our beloved cannot sleep, this one could help with that,” he moves to sprawl out on your chest. 

“That is not going to help him, San Lang.” Xie Lian chides.

You chuckle and swat at Hua Cheng’s arm, “A-Lian is right, don’t try to bully me this late at night.”

“This one has an idea!” Xie Lian perks up a bit. He comes closer as well–both of your lovers seemingly try to bury themselves in your skin, “My mother used to sing me lullabies to go to sleep… What if I- uhm,” Xie Lian’s cheeks flush a warm red. “Well, this one would be happy to sing a lullaby if it will help you sleep.” 

“Oh?” you smile up at him and kiss his shoulder, “A-Lian would be so bold to serenade me?”

Hua Cheng lies his head against your chest, setting his gaze on Xie Lian, “Oh yes Gege, serenade us to sleep.”

Xie Lian lets out a huff of embarrassed air before swatting his hand at Hua Cheng’s back. He slumps against your arm around him and nudges his head under your jaw to give you a nip. “I will never offer you my kindness again.”

You kiss the curve of his nose with a quiet laugh, “This one is sorry, I was only teasing. I would be overjoyed to hear A-Lian sing me to sleep.”

You doubt it will put you to sleep but you would never be one to reject hearing your lovers’ beautiful voice. 

So with Hua Cheng sprawled against your chest and Xie Lian tucked under your chin, you close your eyes and listen to your lovers’ song.
