One Frosty Heart (Xingyun)

Chapter 16: Ramen Trouble (Xingqiu's pov)

Chongyun and Xinyan still weren't back. It was a little worrying. Xiangling got the step stool out and started to grab bowls. Eula was sitting on the couch, resting her head against the armrest. She was out cold. Xiangling turned around and glanced around.

"Are they not back-" Xiangling whispered.

"Yeah, I'm a little worried."

Xiangling turned around and turned her phone on. I saw her open messages with Xinyan, saying that ramen was ready. She glared at her phone while a text popped up. It said, "We'll be there in just a second." Xiangling closed the messages app and opened her camera. She took a picture of us. She smiled brightly while I smiled as best as I could. She poured the ramen into 5 bowls. She topped them all with a slice of jueyun chili except for Chongyun's bowl. She passed one to me. She slowly walked over and set Eula's on the coffee table. She poked her and she jolted awake. Xiangling pointed at the ramen, Eula nodded and went to eat. Xiangling smiled. Just then, Xinyan burst through the door.

"It smells amazing in here!"

Chongyun was being pulled along. He looked exhausted and was red like he had just gotten sunburnt. Xinyan finally let go of Chongyun's wrist and walked over to her bowl. She picked it up and walked with Xiangling to the couch. Chongyun picked up the last bowl there was. I realized that there was something red on the top of it. I just brushed it off realizing it was probably a part of the ramen. He took one bite of the ramen, and he turned BRIGHT RED. He started to frantically panic. He then passed out and fell off his chair, hitting the floor with a thud. Xiangling stood up and ran over.

She checked his ramen, "Omg, Xinyan, which bowl did you grab-"

"A normal one-?"

"Well, you grabbed the one without Jueyun chili, he had your bowl-"

"Oh-"

"Move out of the way, I got this." Eula stood up and walked over to the freezer.

She grabbed a popsicle, the brightest blue I've ever seen and dropped it into his mouth. He slowly started to lift his body up. He looked beat. He got up slowly without a word. He walked over to the stairs and started to go up. He walked into our shared room and closed the door.

"Sorry Yun!" Xinyan yelled.

"I should've made it clear; it was my fault." Xiangling sighed.

"Eh, he'll be fine. I got his favorite food in the fridge." Eula nodded and went back to eating.

I got up and put my bowl in the sink after I finished. I started to go upstairs and opened the door. He was chewing on the popsicle stick and sighing. He caught sight of me and lifted the blanket. I crawled in and rested my head on his chest. He spit the popsicle stick out and put it in the small garbage we had next to the table. He then kissed me on the forehead and rested his cheek on my head. I then fell asleep to Chongyun's chest rising and lowering.

(I know, it's a small chapter but I wanted to get something out for you guys. I'm finally back and working on this again. And also. I lost my 50/50 on Kazuha's banner. I got Jean instead. I'm pissed.)
