[ Despite himself, Dan Heng finds himself smiling. He's never really thought of himself as tough before, only that... this is the lot with which he was born to deal. Nothing less, nothing more. To have Yingxing complimenting him like that...

Mm. It's nice. And...

Well, he wasn't going to say anything, but perhaps being open with him is a reward of its own. When he's finished unbuckling Yingxing's belt, hands moving to the top of his pants to push them off his hips, he looks up to offer the older man a smile. ]

Something that's really nice is that there's this guy I like who called me "beautiful" when he saw me naked for the first time.
