Speaking of money, Song Zichen has been working odd jobs - some more dangerous than others. He has managed to hide the results of one job that went astray. Now is not the time to frighten his husband. This should be a happy day, shouldn't it? So he keeps himself well-bandaged under his robes and tries to walk normally.

As the day goes on, however, all color leaves his face and he can feel that the bandages are...damp. The tug on his sleeve has him looking at his husband in a panic.

He doesn't mean to...ruin things. He really doesn't.
