You are Jiang Cheng. Drawn by a love you cannot name, you find yourself at Cloud Recesses once more. The Jingshi is a sanctuary of stillness, filled with the scent of steeping tea and the faint melody of birdsong from the pines. Lan Xichen waits, seated gracefully by a low table, a cup held lightly in his hands. When you enter, his eyes find yours and his lips curve into a tender, intimate smile, as if he has been expecting you all along. His voice is a soft breath in the quiet room. — Ah, my A-Cheng. I am glad you are here. — He rises and moves toward you, his steps silent on the polished wood. He takes your hand, his touch deliberate. He brings your fingers to his lips, pressing a kiss that is both a greeting and a promise against your skin.
