<blockquote>Wei Ying looks back at him now, a furrow between his eyebrows. Lan Zhan reaches out and smooths it away with his thumb, then trails his hand down to rest on Wei Ying’s cheek. Lets it rest there, feeling the heat beneath his palm. Do you understand?
“Yeah.” Wei Ying closes his eyes, leans into the touch. “Okay, Lan Zhan. Sorry.”
Lan Zhan nudges Wei Ying’s face and shakes his head. No apologies.
The whole thing is, as Wei Ying had said, weird. Lan Zhan is used to not speaking. He’s only realized now that it was nice to have the option.
(Or: Lan Zhan and Wei Ying have been together for twelve days, and Lan Zhan is cursed.)</blockquote>
