Huangfu Jue's lips subtly curled upwards as he collected the other's embarrassment into the depths of his eyes.
Catching his husband's expression, Will suddenly understood.
"So, you are teasing me," he realized.
Huangfu Jue glanced sideways at him, "Is that not allowed?"
"Of course not," Will laughed, "Actually, you're quite nice like this. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you weren't good before, but now... you are better, yes! Better than before."
Immediately, the terrace burst into a delightful laugh, charming as a silver bell.
"I must be hearing things, has Colonel Will actually started to lay on such nauseating flattery as well?"
Hearing that voice, Will's smile stiffened for a moment before his face reddened.
By the table, Huangfu Jue had already stood up and opened his arms wide, and a figure immediately flung herself off the terrace, laughing as she jumped into his embrace.
