"Some things in life are free," Wen Kexing says, and taps his closed fan against his chin.

Summary
“A-Xu,” he calls, voice carrying with the wind, “are you too disappointed there are no scorpions to clear out? I’ll find you someone else to fight. Surely, with this many people in the city, it won’t be too hard. A-Xu, what do you say?”
“What nonsense are you speaking now?” When have his words lost so much of their bite? Zhou Zishu hasn’t meant them to draw blood in a long while now, he thinks, and this time is no different– the offer is as ridiculous as the man himself and it warms his heart just like him as well. “Let’s go back to town. Lao Wen, let’s not look for trouble today.”
"Let's stay in the sun, he means, just this, and tomorrow, this again. There’s something idyllic in the way the high grass sways in the breeze, the light soaks in the earth. Peaceful. Wen Kexing smiles again. “Ah, my A-Xu is very wise,” he closes his fan, tapping it once against his chin, mockingly thoughtful, “making trouble this soon would only drive our pesky assassins further away.”
“Or,” he snorts, shaking his head as he makes his way to Wen Kexing’s side, leaning in as if disclosing a secret, “I just want more wine.”
*
or, the way back to town is long and they're in no hurry.

Summary
All his life, whenever creatures - human or otherwise - had snarled or hissed or snapped at him, literally or figuratively, Zhou Zishu had felt superior in his self-control, his calm calculation. It had never once occurred to him before that he might snarl back.
