Dominic gave a small laugh.
"That's true. Even if there's no spare room in the barracks, there's a rest chamber next to my office."
Still being carried in Dominic's arms, Shiao Yi wrapped his hands around the man's back and hugged him tightly.
In the cold night air, Dominic's body warmth spread gently into him.
Dominic's right hand pressed against Shiao Yi's back, pulling him even closer to his chest.
Was Dominic worried that he might lose this warmth?
In the past, perhaps Shiao Yi would have stepped back for Dominic's sake.
But now he understood.
Dominic could never be happy without him.
Shiao Yi had felt it deep down, to the very bottom of his soul.
That was why Shiao Yi made up his mind.
No matter what happened, he would never let go of Dominic.
He decided firmly that they would always be together, for as long as life carried them.
The next day, Shiao Yi and Dominic were summoned to Lord Quintus's office.
