Xiang Yu walked into his closet, his voice echoing slightly. "I will stay with Old Song for now."
He knew it was impossible to stay with the old man but he still said it. Old Song's one-bedroom apartment at the clinic couldn't accommodate four more people. Even if they stayed inside the clinic it would be a tight squeeze. What he really wanted was to stay with Han Xin but he couldn't just come out and say it.
Han Xin followed him to the closet door and said, "He can't keep you, little Bai and the girls safe."
Xiang Yu pulled on a t-shirt, his movements deliberate. Because he had his back towards Han Xin, Han Xin didn't see the smug smile on his face. He was playing right into his trap.
"Then who can keep us safe... you?" he asked with a hint of coquetry in his voice but it was all wasted on this straight man of steel.
