Yunli groans, swaying her sword at her not-boyfriend, who chuckles as he dodges all of his attacks. "C'mon! Since when do you avoid my hits so well!?"

"Since forever?" He grins, still avoiding her attacks by jumping in his flying swords. He eventually catches her off guard and taps her on the nose.

"Ah, you're on now, pretty boy." She smirks, stepping back and readjusting her stance.

Yanqing laughs. "You're the one who needs to up your game, Yunli."

They continue their match, Yunli harshly swaying her sword and Yanqing dodging while throwing his flying swords. At some point Yanqing stands in one of his swords, taking him off guard, Yunli takes one of his flying swords and throws it at him, making his balance falter.

Eventually, Yanqing falls off, and like a good not-girlfriend, Yunli is there to catch him in her arms.

"Aha! One more win for me!" She says proudly, a smug smile on her lips as she looks at him.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever..." He huffs, his cheeks reddening slightly.

"Where's my reward? C'mon~ You promised!" She grins, totally ready.

Yanqing laughs nervously. "I don't remember saying anything about rewards."

"Liar. You did." She smiles proudly and Yanqing sighs. He uses his left hand to tilt her head down and plants a sweet kiss on her lips.

"There you go. Happy?" He smiles awkwardly as their lips part.

Yunli nods, a smug smile on her lips. "Yes. Very."

"Now put me down." He sighs. Yunli has a weird liking to picking him up and carrying him around the Luofu like it's nothing and he really wants to avoid that.

"You're so boring, Lieutenant." She huffs, gently putting him down. Yanqing chuckles and kisses her cheek. "You're very boring."

Yanqing laughs. "Maybe, but you're the one who's all over me." He says, retrieving his swords and walking towards the exit. It's not long until Yunli begins to follow.

Yunli just smirks, putting her arm around his shoulders. "That's only because I like sweets."

"Oh, I count as a sweet now?" He chuckles, rolling his eyes. "You're cheesy."

"Your lips are sweet, are they not?" Yanqing laughs nervously, his cheeks turning red.

If there's something that hasn't changed since they met, it's that Yanqing still reacts strongly to Yunli's flirting, especially now that he knows for sure she's flirting.

"Shut up, Yunli... You're embarassing..." He says. Yunli only snorts, enjoying the way Yanqing reacts to her.

"Well, you know how to do that, don't you, Lieutenant?" She chuckles, watching as Yanqing's red face looks at her with annoyance.

"You know you can just ask for a kiss, right? Like a normal person?" He says, putting away his stuff. Yunli, only having brought her sword, stays there, staring at him.

"So, no kiss?" She pouts.

Yanqing turns around, annoyed, and quickly plants a short, sweet kiss on her lips, before he continues walking forwards to the Seat of Divine Foresight. Yunli celebrates mentally and immediately runs to catch up with him.

And with that, Jing Yuan concludes that it's NOT just him. His son and general Huaiyan's granddaughter do actually have something going on, even if they don't seem to be dating yet.

Yunli is a good girl, he reminds himself. Strong-willed and fiercely protective, much like himself. If she makes Yanqing happy, then maybe it's not such a bad thing.

Maybe they're still a good match.
