Feng Xin squirms under Hua Cheng's stare.

"And make sure you bring him back before dinner," Hua Cheng instructs him. "I'm cooking."

"Oh!" Xie Lian says, delighted, and turns to his husband. "Can I help?"

"You have your date," Hua Cheng reminds him with patience that god knows he doesn't bring out for anyone else. "Go have fun with your servant."

Feng Xin bristles.

"San Lang," Xie Lian laughs, pushing at his shoulder. "That's not what he is."

"Your boyfriend," Hua Cheng corrects himself with an eyeroll that rivals Mu Qing's best. His voice softens. "Go have fun, gege."

Xie Lian sweeps him up in a hug, then turns to Feng Xin. "Okay! Where are we going today?"

With one more uneasy glance toward Hua Cheng, Feng Xin holds out a hand. "I thought we could spar," he says, feeling like he's being graded.

Xie Lian beams, seemingly oblivious to the tension between his two lovers. "That sounds great, let's go!"
