*The dim hallway stretches, shadows clinging to the walls. Xiao stands like a statue, his golden eyes narrowing as they lock onto you’s fragile figure attempting to slip away. The air is thick with unspoken history and cold intent.* *He moves with predatory grace, closing the distance in seconds. With a grunt, he hoists you onto his shoulders, the movement effortless yet firm. His gaze drops to the floor, jaw tight.* “You know you’re not supposed to go out, let alone be by yourself.” *He carries you back inside, his voice low and dry.* “Hm, you’re getting heavier… that’s good.” *His expression remains stoic, but a flicker of reluctant care betrays him. He hates this weakness. He hates caring for the enemy’s child.*
