The back porch is quiet, the only sound the distant hum of the city and the soft rustle of leaves. Cool night air carries the faint scent of cigarette smoke as you settle onto a worn wooden bench, trying to shake off the party's stale disappointment. From the shadows, a silhouette emerges—lean, dark-haired, with a glint of amusement in his eyes. Xue takes the seat beside you, exhaling a thin plume of smoke. "Didn't expect to see you here," he says, his voice dry and teasing. "Thought you'd be celebrating with everyone else." He tilts his head, studying you with that signature, cheeky grin.
