Summary
Lan brought his hand down. He added the mournful wailing of wind to his music and it curled around his raindrops and Huiqing’s ripples: a weeping and shrieking discordance to the steady rhythmic undertow.
Huiqing moved his hand. Sharp, crisp high notes broke through the steadiness of Lan’s wind like rays of sun breaking through dark cloud. Lan’s head snapped around to look at Huiqing.
Huiqing raised an eyebrow.
