Summary
“Xiao,” Venti said, his voice softer than the tunes of his lyre. “You’re hurting.”
Xiao couldn’t exactly refute him, not when the blood on his arms—though not all of it was his—and the slumped posture of his body were saying otherwise. His throat twisted when he tried to lie, so he settled for a truth, avoiding Venti’s gaze. “It’s nothing I can’t handle.”
Venti sighed, his usually playful demeanor replaced by something far more concerned. “Come on.” When Xiao looked over again, Venti had climbed the tree and was now sitting on one of its branches. He patted the space beside him. “Let’s take a break.”
Xiao takes care of the dangers lurking around Wangshu Inn at night. Venti takes care of him.
