    Summary

    They'd made a promise to each other. At least one day every seven would belong to them. It didn't matter if they had moments here and there between that time, they had to have a full day that was completely their own, with no interruptions, no responsibilities. A full day to be as completely in love as they felt.

    Summary

    Raising his head, he gazed up at the portrait beside him, immersing himself in Hua Cheng’s delicate brush strokes. The longer he stared, the more muddled his thoughts became, until one stood out well above the rest.

    “I wonder if he’ll come and get me…?”

    What an exhilarating thought that was.

    The mere idea that Hua Cheng might come and personally whisk him away to Paradise Manor—all because he had the nerve to waste six days of precious time—was simply too much for his homesick heart to handle.

    While answering prayers in Puqi Village, Xie Lian loses track of time, resulting in Hua Cheng being left alone at home for nearly a week straight. To make up for his blunder, Xie Lian accompanies Hua Cheng on a "date night" of sorts, which quickly spirals out of control.

    Summary

    Xie Lian likes that staring at Hua Cheng long enough gets his heart racing. He likes that the quirk of Hua Cheng's mouth when he's biting back a smile is familiar enough that he could trace it in his sleep; likes that he's allowed to look whenever he wants with no consequence other than Hua Cheng's warm, lighthearted teasing.

    He likes looking. There are so many things about Hua Cheng worthy of Xie Lian's admiration, but sometimes–he squeezes the wood plank in his hands hard enough to splinter it–sometimes, he wants to touch.

    Summary

    “Gege rolls so perfectly for this one,” Hua Cheng teased. “Perhaps the cup for his dice should never be found.”

    Xie Lian looked away and squeezed his eyes shut, already imagining something completely indecent: himself, sitting on the lap of the famed and feared Hua Chengzhu in this very gambling hall, rolling his dice for every bet he took and presenting them on his tongue like he had been doing. It was a positively shameful image that he couldn’t stop seeing, and that he couldn’t stop blushing at.

    ~*~

    Xie Lian returns home from a long day in heaven and agrees to play a very different kind of gambling game with his husband.

    Summary

    He wanted Uenoyama at his wit’s end — annoyed, frustrated, bristling with pent-up emotion. Passionate about music and his opinions, but also interested in getting Mafuyu to shut up in a very specific way.
