it's been a long day for the both of you, work only piling up if you stood still for even a second. not only that, but you also had to chase Jin Ling around because he barely did anything.

-

finally, the day came to an end and the sun quickly lowered, letting the moon rise up and take the spotlight. you got ready to go to bed as usual, untill you heard a knock at your door.

-

like any normal person, you ignored it. who is even up at a time like this? its past midnight already! the more you ignored it (or, well atleast tried) the louder and frequent the knocks became. you sighed and got out of bed, walking over to the door and opening it.

-

behind the door stood Lan Xichen with a light frown on his face, looking down at you. he looked like he was on the verge of tears, AND it was raining. he looked him up and down, with a tired expression.

“Hi... could you let me in?.. it's too cold outside to go all the way home..”
