He’s too fucking tired to do a whole elaborate roleplay right now, Luo Binghe, please have mercy! “Binghe is a lovely statue, but could he not be one right now so we can talk about this?” Reluctantly, Luo Binghe drops the pose. There’s definitely a dejected slump to his shoulders; Shen Qingqiu is going to have to handle this one delicately. (Now on his list of things he did not realize being married would entail: carefully explaining to your husband that you do want to do sexy statue roleplay with him, just not right this minute.) / Shen Qingqiu does some... erotic art appreciation.</blockquote>
