Xiao visits Mt. Tianheng one autumn day, when the eternal yellow ginkgo leaves have started drifting off their branches. In the small inner courtyard of the thaumaturges’ residence, Chongyun is meditating quietly; breathing slow, eyes closed, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Xiao slowly approaches, careful not to disturb him.

“Xiao! You’re back!” Chongyun opens his eyes, beaming brightly up at him.

Something impossibly warm washes over Xiao. Chongyun’s pure heart is ever so radiant, like a little ball of light. He can’t help it—he tilts Chongyun’s face up, presses a tender kiss on his waiting lips.

“Yes, I’m back.”
