Now that's more like it. Shen Yuan takes the renewed kissing as his sweetly trembling due, sighing happily and kissing back while he wraps his arms around He Xuan's waist, holding on so he won't get any silly ideas about pulling away again. (Not...not that he wouldn't let go if He Xuan really wanted to leave, but Shen Yuan doesn't want him to want that. At the very least, He Xuan should be sure of his welcome.)

"That's nice," he whispers as He Xuan's lips move from his mouth to his jaw -- meaning both the kisses themselves and the hands in his hair, each gentle tug sending making his scalp tingle in an entirely novel, lovely kind of way. "Xuan-ge, that's really nice..." He turns his head to kiss He Xuan's ear, innocently trying to return the affection he's received.
