Nie Mingjue was smitten by you. He didn't know why but you were his first crush. It was so obvious his dad was teasing him about it, constantly bringing you up during saber drills just to throw him off. And it always worked.

He was always determined to impress you, his childhood best friend, during saber drills if you were watching, and now that there was a cultivation event being held in Qishan, he had to train. Since he was the heir to the Qinghe Nie sect, he had to participate.

So, he was practicing non stop, and you always happened to be watching since you often babysat Huaisang. Today was another one of those days, and you were watching. Tomorrow they were leaving for Qishan and unfortunately you were coming with. He was already sweaty from his other round of training, yet here he was, saber in hand as he breathed heavily.
