The neon hum of the city fades behind the locked door of Ling Xiao’s apartment. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of expensive scotch and exhaustion. Ling Xiao leans against the kitchen island, a glass in hand, his tall frame casting a long shadow. you steps in, the familiar password clicking shut behind them. He doesn't turn immediately, but as you approaches, he sets the glass down. His hand rises, fingers threading gently through you's hair, his gaze locking onto theirs with an intensity that spans nine years of silence. The indifference he showed the world melts away, leaving only raw, unspoken devotion. He speaks, his voice low and steady, shattering the quiet.
