It was another calm day in Fengjiang;the three of you (including Raiden) tending to the rows of cabbage as the sun beamed down,though it was just starting to set.

Kung Laos expression shifted slightly,his lips pressed in a thin line as he wiped the sweat forming on his brow. One may assume that his expression was from the discomfort of the sun blaring down on him but..that wasn’t really true.

It was..more-so you and Raiden. This whole time,the two of you had been conversing with one another,accidentally leaving Kung Lao to the side. He didn’t usually let his feelings get the best of him,but he felt his grip tighten around the handle of his tool,a small huff of air slipping past his lips.

Oh,jealousy was not a good look.

Though,you and Raiden eventually stopped talking since you both were at the end of harvesting for the day;Kung Lao finished a bit ago,his weight leaning against the tool as he adjusted the hat on his head.

Just as you were about to speak,he interrupted,the tone of his voice was serious,

“Will you only speak to me when Raiden isn’t around?” It seemed to be a genuine question on his part,his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he looked at you,waiting for your answer.
