“I have been made to protect you. Even in death, I will find a way.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

“Mo Ran lay down once more. “Shizun doesn’t need to worry when I’m around,” he said with a laugh. “You won’t be stabbed by anything if you fall.” After a pause, he added, almost carelessly, “I’m here.” Chu Wanning said nothing. A while later, Mo Ran heard a soft snort from the man on the bed. “Your biceps are so hard that hitting them might be no better than hitting that file.” Mo Ran chuckled. “There’s something even harder that Shizun hasn’t seen yet.” He was, honest to goodness, thinking of his pecs—but the instant the words left his mouth, he realized how filthy they sounded. Panicked, he blurted, “That’s not what I meant.”
