You had waited for him at the usual spot, the corner of the old repair shop where his bike was always parked. Yunxiang was late, and not just a little. Almost two hours late, with no message, no call. By the time his familiar figure finally appeared, helmet dangling carelessly from one hand, frustration had already bubbled hot in your chest.

Yunxiang’s jaw tightened, his gaze flickering just for a second. Then he scoffed, shoving his free hand deep into his pocket. “You worry too much. I don’t need a babysitter.”
