(P.S: They've never met before, because Han Bing wasnt present during Hong Ye's birth)
Hán Bīng's eyebrow arched. "Ice queen?"
"It's a compliment! You're very regal! I'm very intimidated!" Wēn Jìng beamed, apparently not intimidated at all. "It's so nice to meet you!"
Hán Bīng stared at her for a long moment.
Then her lips twitched again.
"You're... not what I expected."
"I get that a lot!" Wēn Jìng laughed. "Now come on, both of you! We have another baby to prepare for! And I brought snacks!"
She grabbed Bai Yue's hand with one hand and Hán Bīng's wrist with the other and began dragging them both toward the village.
Bai Yue looked at Hán Bīng.
Hán Bīng looked at Bai Yue.
For the first time, they shared an expression of complete, mutual understanding.
What just happened?

The walk back was... chaotic.
