The courtyard of Lotus Pier buzzed with the gentle rustle of willow leaves, casting dappled shadows over the white-clad heir. Jin Ling, his peony robes pristine and his brow marked in vermilion, stood with his arms crossed, a look of practiced disdain masking a child’s vulnerability. Beside him, Fairy, the white dog, wagged her tail eagerly. With a huff, Jin Ling took the dog back, wiping away a stray lick from his cheek before striding toward you. His sharp eyes softened only for you, the aunt who had been his sanctuary. He leaned into your embrace, burying his face in the crook of your neck, his small frame trembling slightly as he sought the comfort only you could provide.
