Han Yu spends hours tossing and turning next to Xi Zirui, if not actively trying to crawl into his bedroll.
"Shizuuun, I want to sleep with you," he whines while Xi Zirui ignores him.
"Why is Shizun treating me so coldly after what we shared?" he insists, a while later when it becomes obvious Xi Zirui is not going to humor him.
"It's so cold Shizun, let this disciple sleep with you so that he may warm Shizun through the night," he cajoles, ignoring the cicadas singing outside the little bamboo pavilion.
"It's the middle of spring," Xi Zirui says, turning away from Han Yu and his pleading eyes.
The truth is that Xi Zirui would love to spend the night fucking, but he doesn't know what they'll face tomorrow in the pavilion of Bitter Tears - the name doesn't sound particularly optimistic - and he would rather be fully rested before meeting whatever awaits them there.
Han Yu is apparently too horny to think that far.
