Everyone says that the Marquis of Qingping and Young Lord Yu can't stand each other. If their status weren't an issue, they'd roll up their sleeves and fight at any time, anywhere.
Some busybodies have even taken bets on who would win: Song Qingmeng, a veteran of countless battles, or Yu Xinghe, said to be unfathomably skilled.
Yu Xinghe spots a carefree figure in the distance and frowns as he asks the guard beside him, “Am I... on bad terms with him?”
The guard nods rapidly. “Young Lord, didn't someone ask you what you thought of the Marquis of Qingping at the banquet? You answered, ‘I was extremely disappointed.’ Don't you remember?”
Yu Xinghe: ... I meant I was extremely disappointed with the banquet food! [Dying of outrage.jpg]
Many years later...
Song Qingmeng leans against the desk, chin in hand. “Do you know what I thought the first time I saw you?”
Yu Xinghe tugs at the sleeve trapped beneath Song Qingmeng. Hearing the question, he puts down his book and turns slightly. “What?”
“Drunk, I knew not the sky was on the water; the whole boat was filled with dreams of Qing, pressing down on Xinghe.” Song Qingmeng's lips curl into a meaningful smile. His eyes sweep over Yu Xinghe, full of a feeling that is impossible to put into words.
!!! N-no shame at all!
Yu Xinghe silently picks up his book and turns away, the tips of his ears burning red.
