The little woman still glared at him, watching over his shoulder from time to time.
Long pulled Xia's coat closer and huffed.
'This woman is trying to steal my man,'
But he didn't want to trifle with this woman. Huffing, he strode over to Xia. He softly whispered next to his ears. "I have something for you,"
Xia's eyes widened in surprise. "Did you find it?" he whispered with excitement.
Long nodded his head with a small smirk.
"Oh thank gods, I thought I lost it forever." Xia let out a deep breath and held his chest in relief. "long, you can have it. I think I have become quite irresponsible now," he whispered.
Long chuckled out loud at this. He pulled his lover apart from the crowd and took the little leather string from his sleeve. A small golden scale attached to it shimmered from the morning sunlight.
"Long, I can't. I almost lost it this time. You should have it," Xia said with a sad look on his face.
