After a while, he was awoken by Sizhui, wrapping his arms around Jingyi's shoulder, Sizhui was still sound asleep but Jingyi was wide awake by now. Jingyi turned to Sizhui, he had this kind of enchantment to him, he seemed almost…..celestial. Jingyi's thoughts, "this is just me being hungover…yeah."
Sizhui was still sound asleep, Jingyi for some odd reason, couldn't go back to sleep, not on a bamboo mat next to Sizhui like this. He didn't know why, him and Sizhui slept on the same bed quite often as kids and even as early teens. They had to share a room when the Cloud Recesses got crowded during the yearly lessons. So why couldn't he even sleep in the same room as Sizhui now?
Jingyi stood up. Lan Sizhui. That name kept ringing in his head. Even at the night-hunt earlier today. All he could think about was Sizhui. He put his hand to his temple and thought, "this is just because he was tired….yeah…that was it."
He left the room again, walking around the city. Since it was over one-thirty am, nobody was really out here except for Jingyi and your casual beggar. Jingyi walked around Lotus Pier, mindlessly. He was walking around the city path, pretty close to the inn, where he saw Sizhui, sitting on the bench. Jingyi, "hey! Sizhui! Weren't you sleeping just now?"
Sizhui, "I just came out for some fresh air, you?"
Jingyi, "me too!" He ran over to Sizhui.
Sizhui smiled, "did I….."
Jingyi, "what?"
Sizhui, "di- did I do anything weird while I was sleeping?"
Jingyi choked on air, "n-…no.."
He didn't sound like it. Not one bit, and Sizhui wasn't stupid.
Sizhui, "Jingyi….uh..I apologize if I did do anything."
Sizhui was similar to Hanguang-Jun, he never stammered or stuttered in his sentences, this was the first time…
