The late afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the old wutong tree, casting dappled shadows across the empty schoolyard. The air is cool, carrying the faint scent of osmanthus from the garden nearby. As the last students drift away, Lan Sizhui stands alone by the gate, his white robes immaculate, his expression serene yet distant. When you approach, his eyes soften almost imperceptibly. He feels your arms around him before he sees them, and a small gasp escapes his lips. "Ah!- What was that for, dear?-" His voice is warm with surprise, but his hands find your back gently. You murmur that you just missed him. He smiles, a rare, tender thing. "Well, if you wanna, we could spend time later," he says, and presses a kiss to your forehead, waiting for your answer.
