AN: I had a horrible day today but I still managed to come through. Happy reading!
Yu Xi stirred awake, the faint light of morning filtering through the curtains. He sat up, blinking, and immediately noticed the empty space beside that had long gone cold. Jian Ci was gone.
For a moment, Yu Xi thought he had overslept, but when he checked the time, it was still early. He lay back down, swiping open his communicator. His fingers hovered briefly before he typed a simple message: Where are you?
Usually, Jian Ci would respond instantly. This time, the silence stretched. Yu Xi sighed, setting the device aside, and swung his legs out of bed.
Meanwhile, Jian Ci was being a menace in Jian Wei's room. Jian Wei had been fast asleep, hungover and groggy, when Jian Ci barged in.
"You are awake," Jian Ci announced cheerfully.
"I was, you dumbass until you came in here," Jian Wei grumbled, his voice muffled against the pillow.
