    Summary

    At the end of the night, when the sun rose, he was content to simply remain in the long shadow Feixiao cast, while Jiaoqiu operated in the gaps of sunlight left by the ginkyo leaves. They each had their own supporting roles to play, just out of the limelight. It's just that they'd played them for so long now that Moze doesn't remember the day their lives had become intertwined.

    "You... don't you have an Alliance meeting with General Feixiao tomorrow?" He says, feigning coldness, "You shouldn't be up this late."

    Summary

    Jingyuan has had enough.
    His completely and utterly spoiled rotten student has been spending way too much too fast. And just because he is usually rather lax in his upbringing, Yanqing practically takes it as an invitation to walk all over him.
    But that ends today.
    He would, very sternly, using his full authority, make sure that Yanqing learns his lesson this time.
    Yanqing most definitely learns his lesson by the way.

    Summary

    “I had a nightmare that the general abandoned me,” says Yanqing’s voice.

    Jing Yuan must have reflexively opened his arms to invite Yanqing into his bed the way they used to sleep together when Yanqing was a child, because he wakes up again, with no recollection of having fallen asleep, and Yanqing is curled up behind him. “You’re getting too old for this,” Jing Yuan says with a yawn, to which Yanqing does not reply, only tucks his arms possessively around Jing Yuan’s waist and buries his face into Jing Yuan’s shoulder.

    This should have been Jing Yuan’s first warning sign, but he’s exhausted. The bed is warm. Yanqing’s body is finally going through its first growth spurt and he now always runs hot, all his skin stretched taut over his lengthening limbs. There’s a breath on the back of Jing Yuan’s neck, which becomes a careful kiss, and then a long, possessive lick up his spine.

    Summary

    No, he was no father. What kind of parent would send their child into battle, allow them to face the most dangerous and savage of opponents, and then delight in the bloodlust and exhilaration that emerged? What kind of parent would see the perfection in spattered crimson across a young, delicate face, all while criticizing the slipup in footwork that led to an unnecessary injury? Because when Yanqing was fourteen, Jing Yuan had realised quite abruptly after one particularly vicious slaughter, that the boy looked strikingly beautiful covered in blood.

    He had always thought himself to be a good man, an honourable man. But that was the moment Jing Yuan began to realise that… perhaps he was not.
