Gently

Residing within his palms, was an obviously fake jade pendant strung with a cheap red string.

'I—I thought I lost this...'

[ Criteria was not met, therefore the memory remains dormant ]

Ignoring the system, bing-ge examined the pendant.

He found every scratch and every blemish that he could remember, although, there were new ones he couldn't recognize.

Standing in the corner, holding the pendant, Luo Bing-ge remained quietly.

His breathing slowed, as he reminisced the times he had with his mother as he clutched the pendant closely to his heart.

The sky was dark, the sun asleep. Not knowing where Shen Qingqiu went, Bing-ge did not expect him to come back.

Then came the sound of a door opening,
"Bing-he I am back, I was suddenly summoned by peak lord. He wanted to know if I found you yet. He also gifted me some sweets he bought from the town he went to."

As Qingqiu scanned the room, he did not find Binghe in bed waiting as usual. Instead, he was hovering in the corner.

'What a cute weirdo'

Casually walking over, Qingqiu gently placed his hand on binghes shoulder. Turning binghe around to face him.

"Are you alright? Do you not feel w—"

Looking down at binghes hands, Shen Qingqiu saw he tightly grasping the pendant.

Reading the air, Qingqiu gently embraced binghe. Calmly and gently stroking binghe's head.

"I know you loved her deeply, and I am sorry I am unable to comfort you in any other way. Thus I can only provide you warmth and love in return."

Whether the first to welcome the huh was bing-ge or Bing-mei, it did not matter. As it was the both of them that deeply enjoyed the embrace, as the body leaned into it greatly.

A long time passed before Qingqiu broke the hug, he guided binghe to their bed so that they may retire for the night.

Stripping himself down to his inner garnements, Qingqiu climbed into the bed.

As he laid down, he noticed that binghe was standing up and still dressed.

"Binghe the sun has already retired, as should we. Hurry up and undress then come to bed."

Mindlessly obeying the orders, Bing-ge found his limbs moving as if the body had a mind of its own—or two.

Before he could stop, bing-he found himself in the bed with only his inner garnements.

Still moving on it's own, the body scooted towards Shen Qingqiu, who had his back facing towards him.

Finding his arms sliding to rest around qingqiu's waist, Bing-ge forgot to stop the bodily movements.

"Don't try anything, if you do I won't let you in bed tomorrow."

Shen Qingqiu threatened.
