❝Yeah, I’ll do that. And hey, thanks for trying at least. See you around, ‘kay~?❞ After flashing a grin to her now ex-partner, Nanfeng quickly ran off to find a new one. Time’s wasting, after all!

"Yeah...sure." One hand rose as a frozen gesture of farewell, before moving towards his own way elsewhere.

Odd.

Nanfeng sighed at his ‘attempt’ and shook her head. She had been hopeful, but at this point, she deemed him a lost cause. ❝You know what? Never mind. You should probably go. It’s no fun when my partner isn’t enjoying himself. I’ll just find someone else, I’m sure there’s a guy around somewhere.❞

"...Hey-" It was no secret that Qianqiu would rather be elsewhere than here, but some part of him tried, right? He wasn't the best liar in the world.

"...Fine. Just...go have fun, somewhere else, I guess." Never one for talking to women, are you now.

❝No! I bet I could beat you in a drinking game!❞ The girl huffed, crossing her arms dejectedly. ❝Besides, you’re not being a very good date. Can you at least pretend you’re having fun?❞

"Yeah, yeah-" The woman was an earful. As if his sister and mother weren't enough-

So at this the teen sighed, loosening his shoulders and running a hand through his golden mane, gaze falling to the floor before meeting the expecting cyan orbs that reminded him of that one advisor, all too well.

"How's this...?"

❝Ughhhh… I’m so tired,❞ Nanfeng whined, ❝I wanna go back to sleep…❞

"What-wine already too much for you?" Looking all sharp but keeping the same expression as before, albeit more exasperated, the Sima propped his elbow against the entrance of the chamber.

Perfect. ❝Then it’s settled! Pick me up tomorrow from the Jia household and take me out to eat before the festival starts. Also, make sure you dress nice. You’ll look handsome, and other girls will be so jealous!❞

"Y-yeah..." He just needed to shut that trap of his when he needed to. Lesson learned for today, he'd wished he could say-but unfortunately this punishment wouldn't go un-extended.
