"A peaceful evening out sounds nice. I'd love to come with you."
Something fun and relaxing might be just what he needs after all of this stress. Just a night of enjoying fine dining with comfortable companionship he doesn't have to try so hard with. Jin Guangyao already knows his secrets, just as he knows his. As awkward as their history is, it also liberates them both from having to put on airs or maintain any kind of pretense.
"I could use an evening to just relax after this turf war is resolved."
Even if he skilled in this line of work, it's still mentally exhausting to maintain all the time. Hopefully, their juniors will pick things up and come to better understand their path with practice and encouragement.
"Maybe we can go shopping, too. I'd like to pick up a few things for apartment and some nice clothes for work."
It was true. Thier history was complex but they can be themselves with one another. Nie Huaisang had seen the worst of him already. It sounded nice.
"We both can. We have been so busy with everything I think we have more than earned this. And yes, shopping would be nice. I would love to get a few pieces to make this place feel more like a home and not somewhere we just live. I also want to pick up some fabric and a sewing kit. I can embroider our clan symbols for our walls so we do not forget what we are fighting for."
He had made the ugly little place he shared with Jin Ling and Wei Wuxian in Hakagemachi look really cozy he would do the same here.
"We will make our home beautiful. And taste something nice." he brushed away a few of his bangs with some fingers.
"I'd like that. I couldn't really afford anything at the restaurant. Just some wine."
But maybe if he keeps working hard, he'll be able to fully enjoy the benefits of being a member of the Tamamo Clan while he's here.
"There's no way of knowing how long it will take to fulfill our contracts. I'd rather live here as comfortably as I can. Making this place look nice would be good step toward that goal."
As tiny as their apartment is, surely there's more that they can do with the space.
With surprising reluctance, he lifts himself up off of Jin Guangyao's lap and sits in an upright position, hair slightly disheveled by the movement.
"It was pretty expensive. I cooked some soup earlier too. I can heat that up for us as well. Let's get some food in you then, Just wine is going to make you feel ill." he smiled softly, it was a tired but sincere one.
"I think that is best. We must make our home good for us no matter how transitional it may feel. At least we will feel safe when we are here." Nie Huaisang looked adorable with how disheveled he looked. The urge to kiss him overtook him but he restrained himself. It must be his exhaustion... Instead, he took a bao and offered it to him.

"Please eat up. Let's regain our strength."
