He can't help smiling, warmed all the way through when Xingchen embraces him. Zichen pauses a few moments to caress the other man's cheek, resting their heads together intimately. Being here with Xingchen has only strengthened his love for his soulmate. He wants him to be comfortable and happy.

"Are you well, Xingchen?" he asks breathlessly, flushing at their proximity.

Then he turns to his gremlin of a husband. The pout makes him smirk and he taps Xue Yang's nose with his finger.

"If you have been endangering yourself again, I will make you sleep with him on his little pad by the fire."

However he follows those words with a soft kiss to Xue Yang's brow. After ushering the adorable men to sit before the fire, he returns to the kitchen to finish, humming a little as he works.
