    Summary

    That being said, he is utterly unprepared for the moment that Xie Lian bursts through the door to the ceramics studio.

    Here’s the thing about Xie Lian: San Lang is fairly certain that Xie Lian has no idea who he is, but San Lang would do anything for him.

    Xie Lian pauses for a moment to get his bearings as the door swings shut behind him. The studio has gone still, and the whirring of the pottery wheels is becoming more hushed by the second. And San Lang feels a little bit guilty because Xie Lian is so good, but his cheeks are also flushed pink as he catches his breath, his chest rising and falling quickly, perfectly sculpted lips parted. His hair has come loose from its bun a little at the front, delicate strands brushing across rose cheeks. Long, dark lashes sweep open and closed over large, dark eyes as he scans the room, hefting his bag more heavily onto a solid shoulder. And San Lang feels guilty because Xie Lian looks so perfect and so clear in that moment that it’s a little hard to breathe.

    A self-conscious smile slides onto Xie Lian’s lips, and he bows to the professor. “I’m sorry I’m late,” he says in his perpetually calm voice, “I’m Xie Lian.”
