Fu Ling sighed in his heart as he crashed into Li Xin's arms. By now, the crew had gathered to watch.
Li Xin drew Fu Ling closer to himself.
"What are you doing? Don't you know how to take care of your body?"
Fu Ling's breath came out in short gasps
"None of this would have happened if someone didn't decide to leave without a word. Why would you do that? Do you not want me anymore?"
Li Xin's arms tightened around Fu Ling.
"I do." Of course he did. There was nothing he wanted more than Fu Ling. He told himself that he had already given Fu Ling a chance. Since he came after him, then he would never let go.
He cleaned the beads of sweat from Fu Ling's forehead with the sleeve of his robe.
"I'm sorry. It was a misunderstanding. I promise it'll never happen again."
Fu Ling's lips parted and he spoke with a flushed face.
"I'll hold you to that."
Black Rabbit called out from the ship.
"Are we still leaving or..?"
Li Xin cleared his throat in embarrassment.
