╔═══ Author's note ════╗
We already saw Bing Shi's first meeting between Lu Kai, Ru Quan, and Ziek, but never saw an actual first meeting with Xuan Mu, correct?
So here you go... Enjoy the read :-)

Bing Shi peeked her head from under her covers, glancing at the clock on her nightstand. It was one AM and she could hear voices coming from the kitchen. Her parents were arguing again. There was a long pause, and she heard a loud thump.
"Who is he?!" her father growled, "Have you been sleeping with another man behind my back?!"
"You don't understand anything," her mother wailed back.
There was another crash, followed by the sound of breaking glass and the argument started again.
Bing Shi rolled out of bed and stepped quietly outside of her room. The cool air wrapped itself around her skin and hair as she took a deep breath and exhaled. She entered her brother's room to see him crying and shivering under the bed covers.
