    Summary

    The color of light on the ceiling changed as the hours passed. Afternoon burned itself to pinkish evening, and eventually a soft navy as the sun started to leave. When black shadows crept in, Shen Qiao considered it as another hour passing. The time around him was sluggish while his brain continued to function as usual. The first hours after being laid on the bed had seen Shen Qiao focusing every thought into moving a finger, speaking, and so forth. None of it had been successful.

    Just as he’d settled into this, a footstep made the floorboards squeak. Shen Qiao’s eyes slowly shifted to the side, and he watched as a candle was lit. This made a tall shadow darken against the room divider. “A-Qiao.” The familiar voice rested in Shen Qiao. His alertness settled as Yan Wushi walked around the divider. “Look at you. Are you comfortable?”

    The candle was set down, and Yan Wushi sat on the bed. He leaned over Shen Qiao and stroked his cheek with a wide palm. The candlelight glittered in Yan Wushi’s dark eyes. A thumb rubbed across his bottom lip.

    “No change?” Humming, Yan Wushi continued tracing Shen Qiao’s lips while staring intently at him.
