The grumpy groom

As Luo Muchen delved into the depths of his thoughts something suddenly broke the tranquil atmosphere. There was constant flapping of wings coming from outside his window. Luo Muchen tried to ignore it but the flapping wouldn't stop. His closed eyes tightened as he tilted his head slightly. He instinctively reached for the dagger hidden beneath his coffee table. With swift precision, he hurled it towards the source of the noise.

The dagger found its mark, embedding itself into the sturdy trunk of a nearby tree. The startled bird squeaked before swiftly changing course, fluttering into the study and gracefully landing on its designated perch. Luo Muchen's eyes slowly opened, revealing a gaze that held a mix of calmness and intensity.
