Summary
Minghao burrows himself in the passenger seat of their tiny, rented Fiat. “I think I’m homesick.”
Mingyu frowns. “We’ll be home soon.”
“Not like that.”
There’s a stable silence, Mingyu glances down at his phone before turning it off. “Then like what? Help me out here.”
Minghao looks out the window of their car, can feel Mingyu’s eyes on the back of his neck. “Can we walk?”Loving Xu Minghao is hard work. The good kind. The rewarding kind.

Summary
There’s a delicate gold band on his third finger, exactly the same as Minghao’s.
“Signed paper… rings…” Mingyu ticks off on his fingers. “We’re both naked…”

“Any topics you want to learn to talk about in particular?” his tutor, Madam Liu, asks.
“Music?” Mingyu tries. “And art. And, uh. Feelings?”
There’s a beat of silence. “Feelings,” Madam Liu repeats, slowly, clearly unimpressed.
“I mean—not, like, deep feelings,” Mingyu rushes to explain. “Just stuff like, ‘You did a good job’ or ‘Your outfit is cool today’ or ‘Hey, I really like your face and also possibly your soul, but in a chill, friendly way.’ You know?”
Madam Liu blinks at him. “So… compliments. Emotional nuance. Casual admiration of someone’s face and… soul.”
