When Qi Ah woke up the next morning, his mind was blank as he gazed up at the ceiling. He couldn't really remember how he got home. It wasn't until he heard Weizhi calling from the side that Qi Ah finally slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"When did we return?" he asked still sleepy. He really couldn't remember much after he started to drink the wine his brother had offered him. Was it always like that? Though he'd clearly drank before in different worlds, since he'd always tossed those memories aside, Qi Ah really couldn't remember if he'd always reacted the same.

Weizhi smiled as he moved to place a tray of food before the youth. "It was rather late, I didn't want to wake you so I just carried you back. No worries." he told the other in a soft voice. His attention was a bit more detailed than before, making sure that everything was properly prepared for the youth as he also seemed to be a bit more sticky. Even hand feeding him?

Qi Ah was a bit confused but pushed the worries aside. He gladly accepted the others treatment, having long grown use to relying on him. So what if he fed him ah? Weizhi was his best friend! That's what friends did right? If not, then why would Weizhi do so? Clearly it was normal!

The system stressed over itself as he fluttered around, wanting to tell it's families host that this was not normal ah! If only the boy hadn't been so willing to toss all his passed memories and 'feelings' away before. He'd at least realize this was far from 'normal'.

Weizhi was glad that Qi Ah seemed unwilling to refuse him, slowly growing bolder. After Qi Ah had finished his breakfast, the other cleared away the dishes before handing them to the servant waiting outside. Instead of leaving as he had done before, the larger male headed back, causing Qi Ah to look up at him confused.

"I didn't get to massage you yesterday after you had bowed to the Emperor, as well as you drinking. It's not the best time for you to be 'bathing' alone." He stated as if it was normal.

Qi Ah blinked a few times before he blushed slightly, nodding. He had been about to get up to wash himself up, but now he did feel like his body was a bit sore ah? The poison would only be suppressed for a short period of time, and only it would flare up again if he over did himself.

"Then I'll lay down?" he then said starting to pull the blankets away to rest on his stomach so he could get his 'massage'. However Weizhi moved to stop him, lifting him up instead. "I'll do it after your bath. I'll just help you wash okay?" He said looking at youth. Though the mask was once more hiding his expression, he was clearly teasing the boy.

Qi Ah who's EQ was completely in the negatives seemed to not realize this as he nodded slowly. "Then after?" he asked. Normally he didn't like the idea of having someone washing him, or helping assist him at all with his bath. He could barely tolerate being dressed by others before he was able to do it himself ah?

Though, his good will towards Weizhi had already surpassed the normal 'limits' of a friend. He no longer felt to concerned with having Weizhi hold him for long periods of time, and the idea of him helping him bathe wasn't so impossible as it had first been.
