I like you

Tonight, the night was warmer than usual, wrapping the small town in a gentle embrace. Lanterns hung from every eave and corner, their soft glow reflecting off the cobblestones, creating a mosaic of flickering light. 

The scent of sweet pastries wafted through the air, mingling with laughter and chatter as townsfolk revelled in the evening's festivities.

Xiang Yu walked ahead his delicate silk gown fluttering around his ankles like petals caught in a breeze. He smiled at the twins walking beside him. Their faces glowed with excitement as they clutched their new porcelain dolls. 

Yes, he couldn't resist buying them pretty dolls especially when they gave him puppy dog eyes. Baihe's eyes sparkled with gratitude as he sheathed and unsheathed the dagger Xiang Yu had bought him. It was a gift he never expected to receive.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness", Baihe said thank you again for the nth time, his voice barely containing his joy.
