~Two days before the noodle incident~

Shen Yuan woke up around ten. He felt like he had been beaten up. Luo Binghe had woken up four hours before, but he still looked as relaxed as ever. You could barely see that he had only slept two hours. Shen Yuan turned to the wall in annoyance.

He looked at the clock and saw that he had missed breakfast. Great. Now everybody knows again... Now he could endure that judgemental stare of Liu Qingge's the whole day again.

Shen Yuan peeled himself out of the bed and waddled over to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He had missed breakfast anyways. Might as well wait for lunch... When he got to the kitchen afterwards he regretted doing that. Luo Binghe had made breakfast for him. Part of the meal was a glass of orange juice.

Shen Yuan sat down at the table and held up his head with his palm while taking the glass of pure acid into his other. He felt every muscle in his face twitch the moment he took a sip.

Luo Binghe sat opposite to him and looked expectantly. When Shen Yuan neither complimented him nor even wished him a good morning his face fell.

"Is it bad? Or...has Shizun not slept well?", he asked anxiously.

Shen Yuan looked up at Luo Binghe through half closed eyes. He had dark circles under his eyes that were very prominent. He knew that because he had seen it in the mirror when he tried to wake himself up by washing his face. His hair didn't listen to Shen Yuan either today and some strands stood off to the side. He practically was the spitting image of someone who hasn't slept well.

Shen Yuan however didn't want Luo Binghe to feel bad, so he gave him a little smile. Luo Binghe immediately turned red and looked away. Shen Yuan's expression turned nonchalant again. He can't be serious. I practically look dead. I don't even have the body of an immortal anymore, so how can he still get flustered by me smiling at him?

Shen Yuan finished eating in silence, ignoring Luo Binghe who kept throwing glances at him over the table once in a while. He put down his glass and stood up. Shen Yuan had planned to go buy groceries today, so he checked  for what he needed to buy.

Grumbling, he typed a list into the 'Notes'-function of his phone. Technically he didn't have to buy food because they ate as a group and normally went to the store together, but  Shen Yuan needed his own food, because he liked eating late when everyone was in bed already. At least his own body did. Shen Qingqiu's could go without food for weeks, but his felt hungry at unreasonable hours.

Luo Binghe had never gone to the store before due to Shen Yuan staying behind, taking care of other things, so Shen Yuan thought it was a good opportunity for him to learn. As they walked to the store, Shen Yuan noticed something.

"Binghe, why aren't you wearing gloves?", he asked, looking with concern at Luo Binghe's fingers that had already started turning red.

It was freezing outside and Shen Yuan was cold even with his scarf and gloves. So how could Luo Binghe run around in just his clothes and coat. Not only was he not wearing any gloves, he didn't have a scarf either. Neither was his head protected, but at least he had his hair that was fluffy enough to serve as a headwarmer.

"This desciple forgot", Luo Binghe replied and selfconciously pulled his sleeves down to cover his hands.

Shen Yuan couldn't blame him for forgetting. After all, he had been a cultivator before and didn't have to worry about being cold. He sighed, took off his own gloves and held them out for Luo Binghe to take.

"But Shizun is going to be cold", Luo Binghe said and pushed the gloves back.

"This master is fine. Take them."
