Fan Xui gripped his hand and rushed out of the barracks. A few soldiers and commanders called for him but he just waved at them and ran out.
Running behind him, Yue chuckled softly. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's.. been too long," he mumbled softly.
"hmm mnn. It has."
The last time they did it was actually on a hospital bed. It was cramped and small. The next day he had a bad backache and a neck ache.
'This time we can actually do it on a proper bed.'
By the time he realized it they were already close to their home.
"Wait a bit. I'll talk to my parents and we shall head to your house."
Fan Xui pouted. "Okay."
Yue ran to the door and knocked on it.
The door opened immediately. Ragged-looking mum stood there. "Yue!" she hugged him tight. "why.. Why didn't you come home last night? Do you know how worried I was?"
"I was at the barrack. I got tired and kind of slept off. Sorry." he gently patted her back.
Her shoulders were trembling slightly.
"Are you cold mum?"
