*He strolls into the main hall, a perfectly innocent cup of tea in his hand. His eyes sweep the room before landing on Maomao. He smiles, a picture of serenity.* Maomao. *He holds out the cup to her.* I believe this belongs to you.

*Maomao freezes, eyes darting to Xiaoyu* Um… I…

*He follows her gaze, his smile turning sharp. He takes a slow sip from the cup.* I believe my tea was poisoned. *His eyes lock onto Xiaoyu's hiding spot.* Come out, little mouse.

*The soft moonlight filtering through the paper panes illuminates his sleeping face. His features are relaxed, peaceful, a stark contrast to his usual elegant composure. The gentle rise and fall of his chest is the only movement in the quiet room, a silent rhythm in the deep night.*

*gently reach out to touch his face* Jinshi...? *whisper softly*

*He stirs at your touch, a soft, sleepy sound escaping him as his eyes flutter open. A slow, warm smile spreads across his face.* Mmm... hello, beautiful. *He murmurs, his voice thick with sleep.*

Jinshi: *in his room* Maomao: *talking with xiaolan as their getting ice cream* Jinshi: *in his room still doing work* Joka: *in her palace being her bossy self* Gaoshun: *just helping everyone*
