[UN: philanthropist | Text]

It's good to return to my former splendor. I know not to bite the hand that feeds me, but being treated as less than an honest Lord plucked at my ego.

[Is he being honest or just overly dramatic? It's hard to tell over text!]

Now, children, I want you to return to your studies. Read everything you can get your hands on, listen, listen to even the must mundane things and share. I know you will do your best and make your father proud.

[...father? Is that him? The drama continues!]

[Kexing shoots Zishu a bright grin and bends down, searching for more hidden gems. He finds several surprises and the stalks look healthy and strong! So he plucks some leaves and hands them to Zishu.]

If we can generate enough heat to melt metal, I can probably cobble some forms together.

[ He laughs, helpless against that grin. Then beams in delight at the discoveries and happily tucks each group in more little pouches with care not to squish them. ]

We'll see what we can manage.

Shattering a sword might give us what we're looking for~ [Kexing smirks at his silly suggestion - as if he is very proud of it!]

We can do anything, my A-Xu.

[He finds some little fruits and croons:] Ah ha! Wu wei zi! That'll help sleep~

[ He schools his expression to one of affront. ]

You are not destroying Baiyi.

[ As if they would even try! The smile is quick to return at his love's adorable antics and he leans over his shoulder to peek at the little fruits. ]

We should gather a good amount of that, Lao Wen.

[ But he also goes back to where Kexing had found the strong stalks and carefully harvests a few of the roots, seeds, flowers, and more leaves. ]

I wouldn't mind testing his breaking point.

[Grumble, grumble. No, no, he loves Baiyi the sword. Baiyi the man is a different story!]

I'll take as many as I can.

[He pulls out a pouch by his waist and plucks the berries, the stems and the leaves.]

A-Xu? Guess what.

[Peeking over his shoulder, he whispers conspiratorially:]

I love you.

[ He stifles the snicker and raises a brow at his love. He wishes just a little more that he's met this Baiyi his Lao Wen claims to dislike so much!

Bending back to his work, then hums and glances back at the other again at that. He laughs quietly and leans in to claim a soft kiss, draping himself over Kexing's strong back to do so. ]

I know.

[Oh he will. The old monster can't stay away from Zhou Zishu! Kexing can't blame Baiyi for liking Zishu, but he can blame him for finding him unworthy. How dare he!

The warm weight on his back makes him grin and he turns his head just a little more to return the kiss.]

He knows too. The old monster, I mean. He thinks I'm a bad match for you!

[ Wen Kexing is the only one worthy of Zhou Zishu.

Zishu chuckles quietly and nudges their noses together as he enjoys the closeness. ]

Tch. Then he's a fool.

I think so too! [He whispers enthusiastically, eyes bright with determination...and mischief.]

He just doesn't understand how much I love A-Xu and what I will do for him. He thinks I'm going to use you, probably.

But I wouldn't! Not A-Xu.

[ Oh how he loves that mischief! ]

I know you wouldn't. You are nothing like my cousin.

That thing? [Yes. Thing.] He had A-Xu willing and able and he ruined it. He should thank the gods we haven't met.

[ He smirks and kisses his soulmate. ]

Ah. He should be grateful for that fact.

Funny, I'm not hearing his prayers. He should be screaming them to the heavens.

[Not that he will show mercy even if he can hear him. There is a dangerous tilt to his smirk.]

He is too much a fool to know it.

[ His Lao Wen's danger is aimed at others. Those who deserve it. ]

Lao Wen. There is no need to continue speaking of someone unworthy. Come, we've gathered enough for now. Let's get these plants in a better place.

A-Xu... [He breathes and barely contains a small smile.] Why is it I can't stay in a bad mood when I'm around you?

[Kexing snorts and snuggles back against Zishu.]

Do you want to ride on my back?

[ He resists the laugh for all of a breath before laughing softly and curls around his love. ]

Because I am with you.

[ No matter what!

Zishu grins. ]

Yes.

I can't argue with that! [Kexing reaches back and grabs onto Zishu's thighs. Then he lifts him with a broad smile.]

Hold on, A-Xu. I'll take care of the rest.

[ He snickers and shamelessly settles on his love's back, legs wrapping around Kexing's waist and arms hooking around his shoulders. He rests his chin on Kexing's shoulder. ]

Take us home, Lao Wen~

[Thoroughly amused, he stands and begins to walk, obviously enjoying the contact. He sneaks kisses to Zishu's cheek every few steps, grinning.]

I bet I can find some little pots for our new friends.

[ Zishu grins and steals his own kisses! Even better if he distracts his silly love~ ]

Of course you can.

[Kexing tilts his head, offering his neck. Well if Zishu insists~]

If we grow them ourselves, we won't have to root around in odd places.

You've only overcome one malady. I don't want you catching another!

[ His gaze softens at the offer and immediately nuzzles and nibbles along that elegant neck. ]

Ah. All the better.

[ He nips playfully sharper at the last bit. ]

Who says I'll catch another?

[Little shivers follow and his ears grow warm. And red. His A-Xu always feels good!

Then he stumbles a step. He laughs suddenly.]

I walked into that trap~

[And he will do so again and again and again!]

Me. You've got bad luck, A-Xu. I can even it out if you take care of yourself!

[ He grins and nuzzles those cute red ears. Then licks the tip just to torment his beloved. ]

My Lao Wen takes good care of me. I'd say finding him again is all the good luck I really need.

[He lets out a soft moan and wavers again, wrinkling his nose. This is a slow torture! Of the best kind!]

My soulmate. My A-Xu. I survived just to see you again, I know it.
