a spicy icy love? Chongqiu

"I Iike You"...

"- Dear Customer, this will be 500 moras. This romance novel has been trending these days but it's quite a rare sight to see you buying others novels than historic ones.May I ask if there's reason behind it? Asked the employee.
- Oh that's nothing special um it's just because it's very trendy, a lot of people have recommended this to me. Responded calmly Xingqiu while putting the book in his bag. Here's the money.
- Thanks, hope you have a good day. May the Archons protect you. "
The library Wunwan was now empty,the employee took a peek of the novel, a romantic drama between the archons during the ancients times.
" Ugh so bad I wanted some tea." whispered desperately the employee.

Under a tree, enjoying the cool breeze under the rising sunset Xingqiu was reading. He was hiding his novel behind a historical book like always but this time it's also because it was a romance book. Surprisingly, he was more into the story than what he thought. The story was well written with solid story plots and good interactions between the characters. Actually he really bought the book because it looked good and a lot of people in the town recommended it to him... But also because of what Chongyun said before "I like you" even if if didn't want to admit it his heart fluttered after this confession, so he did some researchs to know what it really meaned if it could be said between friends.. Or something else. Then:
- "Oh Xingqiu! Still reading I see. Said a voice he well knew.
- Oh hi Chongyun ! He replied surprised without knowing why his heart skipped a beat. Startled, he dropped his books.
- Here. Told the exorcist giving him the novel back to him. Oh I know this book.He added looking at the resume.
- Wait what? Oh yes I understand I heard it's pretty trendy, a lot of person recommended me this novel actually.
- Some of my customers who is a librarian gifted me this novel when I chased a bad spirit from her house. She insisted for me to take it, I was quite surprised the story is good. Admitted the light blue haired boy sitting along with his friend under the tree. I particularly liked the passage of the confession between the two archons.
- You cried aren't you hehe? Smiled Xingqiu.
- Don't tell me you did not ?! Shouted Chongyun. This part was so sorrowful but such a beautiful scene. The way the earth archon confessed in the ruins and disaster while his beloved is ashore bleeding while saying the simple words "I like you." "Described dramatically Chongyun.
But Xingqiu wasn't listening anymore, he was repeating his friend's word in his head" I like you." " I like you."" I like you" Thinking about yesterday event and today. Then he asked himself "Why am I even getting so worked up about this he was not even in his right mind and there's nothing more than us being friend."
"- Are you okay? You were spacing out that's not usual.
- Huh and that's not usual of you to talk that much you were really into the novel? Teased Xingqiu. Anyways tomorrow we got a new hauted house to go to.
-Okay , like usual let's do our best. Replied Chongyun.
- Yeah like usual. "
Yes like usual, no more thought about like or not, or such romance novel.

The next day at the first hour the two boys were standing in front of a big inhabited mansion left aside the Wuwang hills. The house was big but filled with rooms which were cramped and dusty. Finding the spirit was quite easy, he was defeated by Chongyun even if he didn't was close to it, just by him entering the hallways of the manor. This was the common story of their expeditions to haunted houses... Except that they were locked inside.
