"You could fake being in a relationship," Han Zhan suggested, his tone calculated. "Get closer to him. He must know things... important things. You could use him."
Han Xin's voice was sharp. "Let's not talk about it." He knew from that kiss that this wasn't something he could take lightly. There was a weight to it, an undeniable pull that complicated everything.
A brief silence settled between them until Han Xin broke it, his voice quieter. "What has he been doing?"
Han Zhan smirked, his expression teasing. "Oh, now you care."
Han Xin's glare was enough to silence him. Han Zhan raised his hands in mock surrender, but the amusement lingered in his eyes. "He has been going to the greenhouse… a lot."
Han Xin didn't react immediately, his focus fixed on the pipes. Then Han Zhan added, "That reminds me. That Da Hei's been acting strange. Each time Xiang Yu is there, he's wagging his tail like a dog who just got a bone."
