    Summary

    Mo Ran senses it before he sees it. As if through a fog, he watches Chu Wanning reach out and pull the chest lid open. “Shizun, no!” he calls out, but it is too late. There is a flash of light and a burst of powder that explodes straight into Chu Wanning’s face. “Wanning!” Mo Ran is with him between one breath and another, kneeling next to him, hands roaming Chu Wanning’s body, checking for injuries. “Wanning, Wanning, please…” he repeats, bracing himself for something horrible to happen.

    Instead, Chu Wanning sneezes, coughs into the crook of his elbow and rubs at his eyes, where the dust must have gotten under his eyelids. Other than that, he appears to be unharmed.

    Following the rumor that Xu Shuanglin has been seen in a small mountain village to the south, Mo Ran and Chu Wanning are sent to investigate. What they find there leaves them with more questions than answers, but it also brings them a better understanding of themselves and each other as they navigate their new relationship.
