when the light drips through the shutters like the dew (45K words ¡ familial Jing Yuan & Yanqing ¡ complete)
The boy reaches his arms out toward Jing Yuan, and the Synesthesia Beacon interprets his intent as, âUp!â
Even the Lux Arrow streaking across the sky cannot inspire the kind of overawed terror this boy instills in him. Mouth dry, Jing Yuan smiles shakily and attempts a delicate rejection, clasping one of those tiny outstretched hands to lower it. But when the kid realizes whatâs happening, his crestfallen expression makes Jing Yuan feel like someone has run a sword straight through his heart, and he folds like wet paper, gathering the child up in his arms.
Jing Yuanâs sudden reversal has the child giggling with delighted surprise, and oh.
Oh.
There is a boy whose smile is brighter than the rising sun.
Yanqing grows up. To Jing Yuan, it is like watching a dawn that does not fade.
