Shen Yuan (peerlesscucumber)

"So eager to leave me?" Luo Binghe says in a low voice that he uses often with his wives. He is teasing still, but there is true anxiety behind the question that he struggles to hide. He has not yet learned to master himself around someone who affects him so deeply. And perhaps he knows, or hopes, that if he fails to fully master himself—if he lets show that he wants Shen Qingqiu's company badly—then Shen Qingqiu might respond with tenderness. No one has ever treated Luo Binghe as so fragile, and it's—insulting, surely—but he can't help but try to draw it out. Shen Qingqiu does not like to answer his questions, but he is sensitive to Luo Binghe's moods. Perhaps Luo Binghe asked the question because he truly wanted to hear the answer.
