*     kind  of  miss  him  ...

onetrues

marrying  your  niece  is  not  my  choice,   yingxing-xiansheng.   can  we  keep  palace  discussions  away  from  the  forge?   please?

@onetrues⸒     ᝰ.ᐟ       ha..   you  and  yunli  have  many  interests  that  align,   so  i  can  see  where  a‐yuan  is  coming  from.     ❲..❳     ha.   its  a  commission  from  someone  who  wished  to  have  a  lighter  blade  that  they  can  move  quicker  with.

trust  me,  i’m  /aware/.   my  father  won’t  stop  bringing  up  the  marriage  and  how  good  it  will  be  for  both  luofu  and  zhuming.   can’t  you  just  show  me  what  you’ve  been  working  on?

ah, do you remember? this is where we would hide from baiheng-jie. behind the plants, you said.. because we were short enough to be concealed by them.

halfasfair

we wouldn’t have been able to hide from shifu, either.. ha. let’s go back to our roots. what do you say, baobei? the plants have grown immensely.. i’d wager we can still hide behind them now.

@tidalvs,   ♡  ┊       indeed  my  love..   but  it  also  depends  on  its  colour  too.   different  colors  mean  different  things.

how  kind,  my  husband  wishes  to  spoil  me  with  fine  wine  and  trinkets  alike.  do  you  have  anymore  gifts  up  your  sleeve,  baobei  ?

            ha,   did  you  like  that,  yingxing  ?  tempting,  should  i  gift  you  another  ?  mwah.  :)

            after  a  cool  bath,  i  work  similarly.  are  you  choosing  work  over  your  husband  ?

@tidalvs,   ♡  ┊     such  measures  can  be  avoided,   my  love.   that  is  why  there's  always  food  and  water  at  my  work  station.

the  scar  from  where  you  stabbed  me  that  day..   it’s  faint.   it’s  healed  over  time.   you  don’t  need  to  worry  for  me.

@lunaetor,    ♡  ┊      if  you're  so  sure..   (  he  hesitates  for  a  moment,  two  bandaged  fingers  touching  over  the  scar.   )

@lunaetor,    ♡  ┊      i  could  say  the  same  thing  about  you  worrying  for  me.   (..)   it  doesn't  hurt?
