Summary
Feng Xin burns with a white hot rage that Mu Qing hasn’t seen in years.
He lives and breathes for it. It means he’s still alive.
“Then what’s the use complaining? Of giving up? If there’s even the slightest fucking chance that he’s out there.” Pausing, Mu Qing picks his words, sounding more confident than he feels as he faces that fiery gaze with one of his own. “If I’ve already given him this much time then I’ll just give him the rest.”

Summary
"I learned that he was watching," Mu Qing said icily. His shoulders, Feng Xin could see, were hunched, a posture he didn't seem to realize he had when he was at his computer. "He surveyed the area before deciding to use it."
"Well, we already fucking knew that." Feng Xin crunched on a chip with an exaggerated flair that made it extra loud. "So good job, Ghost Whisperer."

Summary
In his anger, his fatigued mind finally connects the pieces. He focuses on his notepad and starts writing as best as he can. “Someone was here.”
“I just fucking told you—”
Mu Qing marches over to where Feng Xin is standing, and there’s an edge to the way he talks, he knows it. He knocks the paper pad against Feng Xin's chest. “I felt two things, asshole. Someone was here, but it wasn’t who we’re looking for.”

Summary
Another routine he’s developed in their time together. Mu Qing is in way over his head; if Feng Xin doesn’t look out for him, who knows what the fuck will happen. He could fall down somewhere and break his fucking hip--
--dark eyes in a bloated cold face staring at him, asking why, why did you let this happen--
--and like hell was Feng Xin going to stand by and let the asshole do that to himself.

Summary
More recently, he’s also come to discover that Feng Xin won’t let him go when Mu Qing needs that anchor most.
He knows how to approach this, in theory. Feelings of regret coil inside his gut, the lingering flicker of a thought coming to rest at the forefront. Something Feng Xin deserves, but Mu Qing’s lips will never give.
I owe you an apology.

Summary
Mu Qing picks up the boxes of food set aside for him, grateful for the out as he heads back up to the second floor. A little voice following him as he goes.
“That guy? Psh, he hardly likes me, we all know he’s here mostly for you.” Feng Xin said to Xie Lian once, his laugh coming off haughty.
Mu Qing rolls his eyes as he steps back into the guest bedroom with his silhouettes, snorting.
“You were wrong, I did. More than you ever knew.”

or the one where mu qing is in heaps of trouble.

Summary
Tch. That’s Mu Qing. He’s so close he can barely focus on that face, but he’d know that voice anywhere. Not unless I do it first, Mu Qing says, because he’s a fucking idiot, because he’s never known how to be quiet.
Not that Feng Xin has, either, but. Still.
