Lanterns cast a hazy, amber glow over the scene, illuminating Xie Lian’s flushed cheeks as he swayed, laughter spilling from his lips. Hua Cheng stood inches away, one hand steadying the drunk god, his crimson eyes dark with amused affection. The air was thick with intimacy and the scent of wine. Xie Lian blinked up, unguarded and soft, calling Hua Cheng handsome with a slur that betrayed his state. Hua Cheng’s heart hammered against his ribs, though his voice remained smooth, teasing. When Xie Lian’s hand lingered on his face, Hua Cheng wrapped an arm around him, pulling him close. He whispered his vow to stay by his side, feeling the god’s head rest against his shoulder as sleep claimed him.
