"I'm glad the two of you sort it out." Guinevere beams at them as she prepared multiple fresh fruits and foods for Wanwan.

The pregnant lady is currently stuffing her mouth with peaches as Ling is comfortably leaning on a tree trunk, magenta eyes closed as he basked on the serenity. The sun was on it's peak but the trees on the forest hindered it's rays to disturb the moment. It was cool and the temperature was perfect for relaxation.

Wanwan nodded at Guinevere. "Actually, we're still flings." She informed the ginger head who blinks at the revelation.

"Flings?"

Both Ling and Gusion swiveled their head to Wanwan's direction who shrugged.

"Yeah. Like you and Gusion. No label but pretty much exclusive to one another."

Gusion snorted on the side as he smirks. "I'm not her fling. Unlike Ling, I wasn't rejected."

Guinevere's face heated up at what he said. On the other hand, Ling beside him glared at him. "That's not true!" He bellowed out.

"Actually, it's true." Wanwan rolled her eyes as Ling looked at her with a deflated look, akin to a puppy kicked on the side.

"Anyway can you please seat over there," she pointed a place outside the picnic blanket. "I don't like your smell." She added cruelly to her suitor.

Gusion laughs boyishly with a snort as Guinevere casted a sympathetic look to Ling's direction who is now coldly looking at the ground. Since the news have spread that the daughter of the Duke is pregnant and the father is her own supposed to be 'sibling', Ling and Wanwan were exiled by the household. The scandal was too big to be ignored. They are no longer allowed to step foot in the town.

Of course, Zilong was raging mad at their father's decision. How can he just do that? That's his children for fuck's sake! But behind those is a hidden intention. It's better for them to be exiled than for them to explain Ling's true heritage and save Wanwan's honor and dignity. Their father asked Lady Guinevere to welcome his children to the forest which the ginger head jovially accepted.

So now here they are, building a small home near Guinevere's hut. Ling sighs and stood up. He stretched his half naked body as Gusion also did. The two are currently helping one another in building Wanwan's and Ling's home.

Of course at first Gusion doesn't want to. Who cares where those two end up? They could be living on the cold streets right now and he wouldn't even give a fucking fuck but Guinevere was persistent on making him help them saying she have to do something for her 'friend'. She was so sad and sympathetic that Wanwan have to sleep outside that he ended up relenting. If there's one thing that Gusion avoids the most, it's making Guinevere sad. He abhors it so much.

"I'm sorry I'm late!"

Their attention snapped at Zilong who rubbed the back of his head in shame and embarassment.

"Idiot! Don't be late next time! This bastard is so useless in building shit." Gusion rolled his eyes and pointed to Ling who immediately took offense at that.

"You're the one who doesn't know how to build shit!" Their foreheads are bumped together as they growled at one another. Their eyes were twitching and their veins protruded in their head. They don't get along at all.

Wanwan rolled her eyes and dismisses them. "Will you guys get over it already? I don't want to see your ugly faces anymore."

Zilong laughed unsurely on the side as Ling and Gusion looks at her. Guinevere gave another batch of peaches on Wanwan who immediately beams at the sight of it. "Your faces are nauseating it pisses me off so much." Wanwan added.
