    Summary

    Shi Qingxuan trails off and flicks his gaze between him and Hua Cheng.

     

    “…Do you think Crimson Rain Sought Flower would like to watch us?”

     

    Lian quirks his head. Watch them? Watch them do what?

    A breeze sweeps into the restaurant and he pours himself another cup of tea to keep warm. He can’t think of anything Hua Cheng would enjoy being a spectator to—especially that Shi Qingxuan would have any knowledge of. It wouldn’t be something ridiculous like dancing or singing. Perhaps sparring? But where’s the fun if he’s not taking part? He sips his tea slowly.

    Shi Qingxuan, pouting and clearly reading his silence as confusion, says in their private array, “Watch us in bed.”

    Xie Lian chokes on his tea.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is two heads taller than him, twice as broad, and at least three times as witty.

    But right now, any and all teasing comments are locked in the back of his throat while his jaw hangs slack, watching.

    Summary

    Shi Qingxuan was born to be doted on.

    It’s a feat that He Xuan, to this day, hasn’t figured out. Her parents, first, then her brother, all splurging to give her the shiniest life with the bloodiest money.

    And He Xuan could never argue that he’s any different, try as he might.

    Summary

    He opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out, and Mu Qing begins stroking a hand down his back.

    “Speechless already? That isn’t like you, Your Highness. What will the effect be when the both of us are…” His words intentionally trail off.

    Xie Lian swallows.

    Feng Xin dips his head and presses a chaste kiss to his chin then murmurs, “Ignore him; I always do. But, Your Highness, if you’d like, we can… continue?”

    Xie Lian had been so lost in these new touches that he’d nearly forgotten there was more to this event. He sucks in a sharp breath and glances up at Feng Xin. His eyes are warm and dark, but the thirst is undeniable. If he were to turn around, he’s certain it would be easy enough to spot in Mu Qing as well. Certainly, it’s also present in him—in the very pit of his stomach, slowly unfurling its fingers to squeeze at his lungs.

    “Yes. I want it,” he whimpers.

    Summary

    Xie Lian lets out a short noise, eyes widening when he sees the goods. On the shelves are neatly arranged body parts – first an ear, then fingers, then hands, one, two, three, four. An arm severed by the shoulder. He pulls down the other sheets and finds more of the same: mostly minor extremities, toes and fingers, but full feet and a few tongues too. They are all neatly severed, looking almost cured where they've been cut from the body. All of them look identical, and when he picks one of the hands up – Hua Cheng lets out a strangled noise behind him – it flips and twists easily in his grip, free of the paralysis of death.

    "They're all from the same person," Xie Lian muses, studying the hand he's holding. "And they're preserved, or perhaps preserving themselves…? They don't have much spiritual energy, but–"

    "Gege," Hua Cheng chokes out, "they're you."
