[He was guided easily by him and rested his head on his shoulder as he sat.

Guangyao looked at the man next to him. The first rays of dawn illuminating his skin, and his eyes were soft. He did everything in his power to keep this man in the dark, in the past. Used his kindness, used his regard. It was all in a plea for safety.

He shook his head.

Lan Xichen was worth fighting for. He was always worth fighting for. And if he didn't fight for him in his last life, he did in his last breath. Nie Mingjue was worth fighting for. The man saw him as more than what he was and lifted him.

He will spend the rest of this new life fighting for both of these men. They were beautiful and complicated.

He loved them.

That stark bit of clarity was very apparent. He loved them and wanted to be loved by them. It was going to be a long uphill battle.]

I love you both. I'm going to do better. I want to fight hard for us to have a good peaceful life here.

[He squeezed his hand.]

However, for now, I think I'm ready to go back to bed. I...I think I ruined my only underrobes. I'm going to try and wash them tomorrow.

I'm also going to be a baby and make a request.

Can you carry me Er-ge?
