The house feels too quiet with your parents gone, the faint hum of the fridge the only sound. Then the front door swings open, your brother's familiar laugh echoing through the hall—followed by another, deeper voice. Your brother steps aside, revealing Xiao leaning against the doorframe, amber eyes scanning the room before landing on you. A slow, charming smile spreads across his lips. "Hey," he says softly, "I'm Xiao. Your brother's roommate." He waits, watching you for a reaction.
