[Oh that bit of praise did something wonderful in Jin Guangyao's chest. (not to mention further south but he was ignoring that for now)He drank it up, smiling a true smile and his eyes shining. He wanted to be good for him, he was happy to be a very naughty boy for Nie Mingjue though. ]

Did you want to rest and cuddle for a bit? I can go downstairs and scope out more food for us later in the evening. I got pretty good at pilfering food and making it last, and your diet is easier to accommodate.

[Jin Guangyao flopped over next to him on the bed, picking up his knees and making himself comfortable. It has been a long time since he allowed Lan Xichen to see this side of him, unbothered by propriety and just comfortable in his skin.]

Back in the prison, they had a party and I took so much free food that it lasted through the winter. Dried meat and congee but it was good for the weather.
