"Shixiong! Shixiong are you here?"

I called out into the tree lines but nobody came "Oh I guess he isn't here" he was, I just knew he wasn't going to come out. I put the basket of food hanging from a tree branch, before running out of the woods again. I giggled as I did so.

After a bit Zhong Xiaosi came out from the treelines again, he had just killed a man who had harassed the lunatic not too long ago and didn't want the lunatic to see him covered in blood thinking it would scare him off, he walked over to the basket in the tree before cutting it down, a single note was attached to it.

╔═══════════════════════╗
Dear handsome Shixiong,
I wanted to thank you for getting
rid of that mean man who was trying
to hurt me.
So I made you some dumplings,
steamed crab, and rice with a few
mooncakes.

I hope you'll like it ♡
-Zeng YaoZu

Well, that is one way to tell him he knows. Over the next few weeks it was tthe same, and slowly Zhong Xiaosi opened up to The young Lunatic.

"Handsome Shixiong there you are!" he stopped on the spot taking notice of the blood staining Xiaosi's face "Oh no! You're dirty Shixiong!" he quickly grabbed a napkin from his basket and began to wipe off the blood from his face, they had got so close that he finally took off the straw hat when he was around him "what did you bring this time"  He gave a small smile leaning into Zeng YaoZu's touch as he continued to clean the fresh blood on his face. "oh it's just shrimp sushi, dumplings, and chicken soup with rice cakes" he smiled up at him "You know, you can call me A-Si if you want" Zeng gasped this was one step closer to finally having his beloved husband back. "I can!" he laughed before repeating his name over and over blushing "T-then A-Si has to call me A–Zu as well!"

Zhong Xiaosi chuckled before unknowingly leaning down and kissing him on his cheek, they both froze on the spot trying to figure out what happened, Zeng Yaozu dropped the basket of food but none of the containers opened except for some of the broth from the soup spilled out from its container.

"Huh?" Zeng Yaozu put his hand on his cheek turning a deep shade of red, he looked up at Xiaosi who was still frozen on what he did "Ah?" he finally snapped back to reality "Oh, I'm sorry I did that Subconsciously I'm so sorry-" he was cut off by the pressure of lips clashing onto him, the kiss was quick but sweet, it felt warm something XiaoSi never felt before, he has immediately shoved away as Zeng Yaozu ran off away from him.

Zhang Xiaozi sighed 'Gege, I don't know what to do now.' he was red and flustered but smiled nonetheless

The next night it snowed harshly. YaoZu didn't come that day, upsetting XiaoSi but he knew his beloved would probably get sick if he went out.

The next day YaoZu came back but this time wearing a pretty red hanfu with embroidered peonies and golden accents, him in that red outfit surrounded by the white snow made him look like the only person with color in the world. They just held each other in the snow, YaoZu in a red outfit with a red veil covering both of them, and Xiaosi in a simple red overcoat holding his beloved close to him, like he was his one and only.

'Husband' The small whisper barely entered Zhong Xiaosi's ear as YaoZu just clung to him, his source of happiness and warmth.

"This husband is pleased with his cute wife" He looked down at YaoZu who just looked at him like he just hung the stars and moon all by himself. A loving smile appeared on his face again as cuddled up into Xiaosi's arms. Oh, A-Si I missed this so much... Please. He clung tighter to him as small tears escaped the moon.
