_{The kitchen was rather small and only had one clean stool to sit on. So as the one taking up that singular seat, Xiao Ning pulled Shen Yunjie into his arms, allowing his lap to the seat that man sat on.}
Wrapped in Xiao Ning’s large outer robe with not a thing worn beneath it, Shen Yunjie headed to the kitchen. It seemed that the young master was determined to embarrass him. Having spent his early life being regarded as Jiang Lingxin’s successor, he was treated with respect by all while at the Tianyi residence. Then, when he infiltrated Wujing’s Palace, despite having the rank of a servant of Xie Yunyi, everyone knew about how fondly the young prince treated him, so even there, Shen Yunjie was not regarded as someone to treat lightly.

The kitchen was rather small and only had one clean stool to sit on. So as the one taking up that singular seat, Xiao Ning pulled Shen Yunjie into his arms, allowing his lap to the seat that man sat on.

_{“Nothing.” Shen Yunjie’s heart felt heavy in his chest, so much so that he could barely hold onto his bowl. “Master was the one who allowed me to leave, out of respect for our past.”}
Yet Xiao Ning insisted on embarrassing this ever-graceful and ever-dignified Shen Yunjie, leaving him with no choice but to make himself that porridge while wearing that loose-fitting outer robe. There wasn’t much rice left, barely enough to fill two bowls. So while offering Xiao Ning the bowl with the thickened porridge, he made do with the watery remnants in the pot.

“Nothing.” Shen Yunjie’s heart felt heavy in his chest, so much so that he could barely hold onto his bowl. “Master was the one who allowed me to leave, out of respect for our past.”

With his fingers gripping the edge for dear life, Shen Yunjie held on as the old door creaked loudly, a sound that was even more pronounced under the cover of night. With no knowledge of how much time had passed as they lay entangled, Xiao Ning caught the slowly sliding Shen Yunjie. Upon taking him into his arms, he could now see the perspiration drenching Shen Yunjie’s paled face to the point his hair clung to his skin.

_{Shen Yunjie stared at Xiao Ning, for what felt like ages, before finally replying, “If I deceive you again, young master, then I deserve to meet a horrid end.”}
“Young Master,” Shen Yunjie called as he blew on the porridge to cool it before handing it to Xiao Ning.

_{Lowering his head and capturing the smooth skin of Shen Yunjie’s slender neck between his teeth, Xiao Ning exhaled, his voice low and deep, “Stop feeding me and drink some yourself; otherwise, you won’t have the strength to cry out for me later.”}“Bear with it.” Xiao Ning frowned, confused as to why Shen Yunjie always looked to be on the brink of death.

_{The unexpected pain from the unhealed wound again being torn open made Shen Yunjie almost fall to his knees, but that only led to Xiao Ning pulling him back up and pressing him even more firmly against the door.}

_{“Young Master,” Shen Yunjie called as he blew on the porridge to cool it before handing it to Xiao Ning.}While Shen Yunjie leaned against him weakly, Xiao Ning carried him to the well out back and sat him down beside the well. As he fetched the water to wash Shen Yunjie, that man wearily tugged at the robe, attempting to cover his body, and bruises dotted around his waist.

“Young Master,” Shen Yunjie called as he blew on the porridge to cool it before handing it to Xiao Ning.

_{A splash of cold water was doused over Shen Yunjie before the ladle Xiao Ning used was flung into the pail. “Wash yourself on your own.” Xiao Ning glared at Shen Yunjie as he spat.}
“Do they not want you anymore at Tianyi? Is that why you ran all the way here to suffer?” With nothing to obstruct it, Xiao Ning’s fingers easily slipped under the coat draped over Shen Yunjie, the touch eliciting a quiver.

“Do you have something to say?”

_{In the small residence neighbouring theirs, only separated by a wall, a dark figure lay amongst the bushes, its red, piercing eyes locked on their departing figures through a hole just big enough for a dog.}Shen Yunjie bit his lower lip before he whispered, “You may be young and virile, young master, but too much wanton indulgence is also harmful to one’s health.”

_{“You’d better not be lying to me, Shen Yunjie,” Xiao Ning’s cold gaze bore down upon Shen Yunjie. “If I find out you are lying to me again, I’ll never gaze upon you in this life.”}
Despite this shaking form, Shen Yunjie still held a spoon of porridge to Xiao Ning’s lips as he replied, “I am no longer a member of Tianyi.”

Receiving the spoon with his mouth, Xiao Ning swallowed the porridge, his tone now indifferent. “And they simply allowed you to leave? Tell me. What did you have to give up to pay for it?”

_{Seeing the man beside him suppressing his anger, Shen Yunjie knew he had struck a nerve, so he said nothing further. Enduring the chill of the water and the night, he stripped off the outer robe completely and scooped out the water with his hands to wash his body.}Shen Yunjie bit his lower lip before he whispered, “You may be young and virile, young master, but too much wanton indulgence is also harmful to one’s health.”

Seeing the man beside him suppressing his anger, Shen Yunjie knew he had struck a nerve, so he said nothing further. Enduring the chill of the water and the night, he stripped off the outer robe completely and scooped out the water with his hands to wash his body. With the robe draped under him, the falling water skimmed over his pale form and turned his hair into a stream of running ink. The long flowing tresses seemed to stain half of his body, which had now begun trembling from the cold.

Under Xiao Ning’s watch, Shen Yunjie forced down his bowl of porridge; the low fever he had that day left him with little appetite. Just that bowl of porridge alone made him almost retch as he choked it down. His face had grown pale, and a cold sweat veiled his features. But on account of the late hour, Xiao Ning noticed none of this as he proceeded to pin Shen Yunjie against the kitchen door, securing his arms above his head by the wrists. As Shen Yunjie groggily pressed his forehead against the door, the back of that loose-fitting outer robe was lifted by the same hand now fiddling with that place.
