chapter 16:

Shen Yuan stood rooted to the spot. He couldn’t look away from where Binghe had just vanished. He couldn’t believe it. It couldn’t be over, just like that. Binghe had just been here, maybe, if Shen Yuan waited long enough-

There was a loud ping next to his ear and the screen of the system popped up next to him. Confetti exploded all over the screen and a mechanical voice spoke.

chapter 17:

Shen Yuan nodded back and carefully reached out until his hand closed around Binghe’s upper arm. Then, he gently pulled him into his arms.

Binghe had to duck to bury his face in Shen Yuan’s shoulder but, somehow, he managed it. Shen Yuan slung his arms around his back in turn and embraced him tightly, pulling him in further and squeezing tightly. Against the skin of his neck, Binghe shuddered out a breath.

They stood like that for a long while, the only sounds in the room Binghe’s uneven breaths. Shen Yuan closed his eyes and stroked Binghe’s hair, tangled and greasy as it was.

Eventually, so quiet as to be nearly inaudible, Shen Yuan heard a whispered “Alright.”

"Eventually, Binghe gathered his hair up into a ponytail and Shen Yuan opened his eyes to look at his reflection in the mirror.

Binghe was tinted golden in the mirror, his features just clear enough to make out. He was looking down at Shen Yuan’s hair and his expression… His expression was so strange that Shen Yuan couldn’t help but keep staring, trying to decipher it.

It was almost pained but his eyes were soft, as though he was thinking about something bittersweet. Still, the way he was handling his hair was so careful, Shen Yuan didn’t know what to make of it. If he didn’t know any better, he would have said that it looked like-

Binghe raised his eyes the tiniest bit and met Shen Yuan’s. That strange expression was still lingering on his face and, as they looked at each other, a name for it popped into his mind, so sudden that he didn’t manage to repress it in time.

chapter 12

"He pulled out the qiankun bag that had been ripped off Shen Yuan’s belt during the fight and he reached for it, full of relief. But, as his hand closed around it, Shang Qinghua didn’t let go of the bag.

Shen Yuan looked up. There was no trace of the previous mousy expression left on Shang Qinghua’s face. Instead, his eyes were sharp.

“Hey,” Shang Qinghua said. “Do you happen to have your phone on you?”

Reflexively, Shen Yuan let go to pat down his side, searching for his… He paused.

Then, the cold realisation came.

chapter 11

"Slowly, Shen Yuan turned towards Binghe.

“Binghe,” he said. “Is this the-”

Binghe’s lips tugged up into a smile as well. “Mhm.”

Shen Yuan desperately tried to get his face under control.

Binghe’s lips started twitching.
