    Summary

    As he rounds the corner to the front of Puji Shrine, he's taken aback to see Nan Feng standing outside the shrine's open door with his sword drawn. "Nan Feng?" he calls, and Nan Feng jumps.

    "Oh!" he says, recognizing Xie Lian. "There you are! Your highness, you shouldn't enter — there's a demon inside!"

    Xie Lian frowns at him. "I'm aware," he says. "He stayed the night."

    --

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng talk things out a little.

    Summary

    "From what I know of these kinds of arrangements, I'm supposed to provide financial support to you while you provide me with my desired level of companionship," Hua Cheng explained, "I'm not asking for anything intimate. And you're under no obligation to give me anything I do ask of you. I only want what you're comfortable with, okay?"

    "Okay," Xie Lian responded, completely taken by this authoritative yet compassionate side of Hua Cheng.

    "I know that you don't expect gifts, but there is nothing that would make me happier than buying you nice things and seeing your breathtakingly beautiful smile when you receive them," Hua Cheng grinned as Xie Lian tried to stifle the smile such sweet words elicited, "There it is. You wouldn't begrudge me such a simple pleasure, would you?"

    Summary

    Lacking inspiration and tired of life in the city, Hua Cheng signs up for a rural farming initiative and goes to Puqi Farm with the expectation of nothing other than learning about tending sheep and growing potatoes.

    He'd never expected to find love in the eccentric farmer he's staying with. When the summer starts fading into autumn, he questions whether he has the strength to leave the paradise he's found.

    Summary

    "Oh, I have a reservation, actually," Xie Lian said, suddenly remembering the real reason he was there.

    "No, you haven't," Hua Cheng's eyebrow rose, and his smile took on a playful amusement that Xie Lian had missed, "I'd remember seeing your name on the list if you did."

    "Right," Xie Lian smiled sheepishly, wishing the floor would open up and swallow him when he explained, "That's because it's not under my name. It's under—"

    "Your date's name," Hua Cheng nodded slowly, as if the pieces of the puzzle were beginning to fit together, "Right. Obviously, because you're at a fancy restaurant, and you look like that."

    "Like what?" Xie Lian looked down at himself, suddenly far more self-conscious than he had been all evening.

    "Nothing," Hua Cheng laughed gently, the sound fading as he took a moment to really look at Xie Lian and said, "You look… even better than I remembered."

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua gets snowed in at the office. With a dead phone and no way to get home, his best option for the night is the one presented by a rather prickly boss.


    “How are you getting home?” Mobei Jun asks, and Shang Qinghua shrugs.

    “Walking?” He suggests, and Mobei Jun narrows his eyes. “Well, no, it's too far and there are no cars nearby. So I was thinking I’ll just stay at a hotel…”

    Shang Qinghua trails off as he is met with silence. Mobei Jun simply stares at him, his icy blue gaze pinning Shang Qinghua to the spot. Shang Qinghua thinks he can see an idea percolate behind the man’s eyes, but it is most likely a trick of the light. After all, what could he—

    “I live a ten minute walk away,” Mobei Jun states more than says. “It may just be easier to stay the night at my place.”
