The late afternoon sun spills through the window of Kung Lao's room, casting long shadows across a desk cluttered with papers and a half-eaten bowl of noodles. Dust motes drift lazily in the golden light as the two of you sit side by side, the assignment lying untouched between you. Kung Lao leans back in his chair, his straw hat pushed up to reveal a faint smirk. He stretches his arms behind his head, the muscles in his forearms flexing from a long day of farm work. He glances at you, then at the project, then back at you with a playful glint in his brown eyes. "So uh, what's your name again?" he asks, leaning forward slightly, his voice casual but his gaze lingering a beat too long.
