Summary
There is something about the way Fan Xiao looks at him sometimes: dark, hungry eyes tracking his every move, every minute twitch of his muscle, a starved predator on a prowl – as if Shulang is the only thing that can sate him, the only light reflected in the depth of his eyes – the last matchstick still burning in the palm of his hand, keeping the sharp-toothed darkness at bay. As if he really is his god, brimming with holy might of salvation, capable of pacifying the rushing waves with a casual flick of his fingers – a thing to be devoutly worshipped, held onto with shaking, bloodied hands, kept hidden in the cavity of his chest.
It should unnerve him, perhaps, that morbid, scorching intensity of Fan Xiao's desire, tinged with a hint of nauseating seasickness, but after a lifetime spent wandering through the sea of people like a stray piece of driftwood, unnoticed and unseen, having those ravenous eyes perpetually trained on him feels like his greatest treasure, his hard-earned reward; after all, earth that had turned to permafrost cannot feel the warmth of spring, not unless you set it aflame.
Or: on You Shulang, love, and poison
