[ Xue Yang spends most waking moments working on building a house with Zichen, but that doesn't mean he spends no time in Gazin. Especially when there are all those delightful rumors and stories of monsters - sometimes he still gets restless, despite Zichen's calming presence and hard work, and hunting a beast or three down is a bit of fun!
And he takes pains not to go home wounded, though he doesn't always succeed. Zichen always patches him up. There are days - and nights! - still when he thinks he hears Xingchen's voice. It always makes his heart stop and breath catch and a strange tightness in his chest before he can set it aside and return to business as usual.
But...this time...This time he can see Xingchen, when he slowly turns at the sweet, worried words. Jiangzai's tip lowers and it takes him a moment to swallow past the sudden lump in his throat before joy sets in. ]
