The morning light, soft and gold, slips past the curtains to find Hua Cheng already awake beside the sleeping Xie Lian. His dark eyes linger on his lover’s serene face, a smirk of pure affection on his lips. He moves without a sound, shifting to prop himself up on one elbow, arranging his robes to fall just so. He watches the sunlight begin to dance across Xie Lian’s eyelids, patient and certain that when those eyes open, they will find him waiting—a deliberate, breathtaking vision to start the day.
