Mù Qíng 🍒

// legs spread and im on top of him oh lord i bet he smells so good

Oh my god...just kill me. Stab me, right here, right fucking now.

// mu qing tied up in red ribbons for me especially yes id tap that id smash fr

About to go batshit crazy that's fucking insane

Then, do you truly...like me as in...

[He gestures vaguely with his hands, face flushed still with his brows furrowed. Glaring intently at Xie Lian.]

Like, as in...you and me, in the same bed...?

[He then turned his head away as he bit into it, in an act of playful defiance at having been taken away by this evil spirit, to lock him up in the middle of nowhere, who knows what evil schemes await him?]

The evil spirit must be so happy right now to capture this great general.

That's right, I wouldn't have wished something like this on my worst enemy. Very unbearable, unfathomable, even.

[Upon seeing the table, he walked closer to it, picking up one pastry, and before he could even grab a bite of it, looked back at Hua Cheng.]

I honestly cannot stand it. +

I don't know if I should be flattered at all by this.

[Still, Mu Qing gave a short light-hearted laugh and moved a bit further on the bed, giving the other space.]

[Mu Qing followed suit, but did it quietly, deep in thought. Sometimes, he takes a few glances at the entertainers to make it seem that he was engaging. Nodding a few times whenever Hua Cheng says anything. But truthfully his mind was somewhere else.

Those he care for.

Mu Qing thought bitterly.]

Ugh, ignoring you now.

Why would you want that?

...Yeah. You too.

Shut up and sleep.

Maybe.

Unfortunately, I believe you.

...Good. Now, try to go to sleep before I throw you out.

Xiao Hong. Hong'er.

Fine. I...I like having you here.

...You're insufferable.

...You're really such a brat.

I am not—

You know what? Just go to sleep, Xiao Hong.

I'm not grumpy.

I...! That's because you're holding onto me like some sort of...pillow!

Only because you won't leave.

You're insufferable.

No, because it's...embarrassing.

Stop saying things like that.

I am not flustered. And shouldn't you be sleeping by now?

// oh god that au is engraved in my head its branded on my brain i cannot stop thinking about it 😭

There was something I needed to finish first before coming here.

[Mu Qing walks over to him, catching a glimpse of a small simple red earring on Hong'er's ear, matching his own.]
