"Are you sure you can walk?"
"Yes! And if you keep asking, I'll prove it by walking over you. I promise not to stop until you cry "Master!" to me. Now, inside. I'm exhausted."
Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng got home a little after five in the afternoon.
The sky was bleeding red, shadows stretching long over the lawn and sliding across the still surface of the artificial pond. The front of the house was dim, the lights still off. Normally, he would notice such weirdness as the helpers always lit up the house's lights around this hour.
However, Shen Yuan didn't notice—or to be more honest, he didn't care. He was tired, hungry, and on a mission to get inside.
He pushed the gate open and bolted in like a man possessed.
BAM!
"Ahhh!"
"Fuuuuck!"
Two screams rang out in perfect harmony. Shen Yuan clutched his chest like he'd just been sniped by a heart attack, only to realize the other scream came from Rong Suyin, his father-in-law, standing dead center in the foyer.
