    Summary

    After that day, he began to rise for Dhuhr. He’d force himself to sleep, and then rise for Asr. Maghrib. Isha. Muscle memory. Warm but unfamiliar. Like the blood of the strong jawed man that was now pumping through his body. Impulses to clean. Even the untouchable washed up before prayer. Five minutes before Fajr, whispering bismallah to himself in bed, Louis responding that he didn’t know he was Muslim, and he wasn’t, but he’d rub circles into his hands three times before the masses turned to Mecca, like an insatiable tic buried now in his blood. It might have always been buried, actually, and had just experienced unearthing.

    Summary

    Chu Wanning can hear the racket coming out of Mengpo Hall long before he’s close enough to see into the dark interior. He refuses to squint, even though the bright sun stings his eyes. He knows the dimmer hall will be a respite once he gets indoors, just as he knows it will quieten when he enters. At the moment, however, the raised voices and yelps of laughter hit him like a series of lashes, causing seemingly tangible pain that he ignores only through long years of practice.

    Summary

    At the stony look on Mo Xi’s face, Murong Lian’s lips take on a sly tilt. “There’s no need to worry. Even when he prefers my cooking, he won’t be any less besotted with you.”

    Mo Xi does not miss the key word, there: when. “What does that mean?” he asks.

    “Nothing at all,” Murong Lian says as he slides a stock pot onto the stove, next to Mo Xi’s bubbling porridge. “Just that there’s no shame in being a spoiled young master. It’s not as if you can help it, Xihe-jun. It’s how you were raised.”

    Mo Xi is grateful, as he so often is, that the boil of his spiritual power has settled since he was a child. Gu Mang loves this kitchen. It would be a shame to burn any of it.

    (Or: when Gu Mang falls ill, Mo Xi and Murong Lian take it upon themselves to cook for him. A few insecurities boil themselves to the surface along the way.)
