"So beautiful," he said, and looked down at Huobai. The same thing couldn't be said about him, now only in the dim lights, the flushed face from the way there. He could be described as ethereal.
"Yes, it is beautiful. We can lay down and watch them just like this if you want." Huobai looked down at Yixing, who nodded.
