Yu Xi picked up the pendant, his eyes softening as he whispered, "It's beautiful."
Jian Ci reached out, his smile playful yet gentle. "Let me put it on for you."
Yu Xi instinctively began to turn around, thinking it would be easier, but Jian Ci's arms slid around his neck, pulling him to face him directly.

Inches from Jian Ci's face, his gaze lingered on those full lips, the memory of their last incident burning in his chest. It had been months since they last kissed, and the craving for another taste gnawed at him. Without realizing, Yu Xi bit his lip, betraying his desire.
"There," Jian Ci said softly, stepping back once the pendant was secure.
