If there is any doubt, it slowly melted away. Feeling the hug, he didn't push him away. He finally felt his sincerity. It's not perfect, but it will do. He hugs him back. His body felt solid, warm, strong, but he felt him distant, that he's trying to reach.

This is the validation he needs that he felt relieved. "So you do care about me, miss me, and want me. That's what I wanted to know."

Quietly, he nuzzles on his shoulder and on his hair. "Xue Yang, I'm blind. I can wait here all day, not going anywhere, and I will not do my chores not until you kiss me because more than anything, that's what I want you to do. Kiss me and make me do nothing but stay here."
