    Summary

    "Oh, but when people praise your beauty. I'm sure they only talk about your lovely face, your eyes as green as the most precious jade and your hair, softer than the finest silk," the man slid closer, reaching out to trail his fingers over Shen Jiu's long sleeve. "But do they speak of your clothes like clouds, your face like flowers? If I don’t find you at the peak of Jade Mountain—
    "Then will you see me under the moon at Jade Tower?" Shen Jiu hummed. "Do you know how to use your own words, or must you always borrow from others?"
    -or-
    Shen Jiu gets mistaken as a sex worker at the Warm Red Pavilion by a Tianlang-Jun in disguise. He curses the gods for making him weak for foolish pathetic men.

    Summary

    Junior can survive five-set matches, brutal match points, and the crushing weight of national pressure.

    What he cannot survive, apparently, is one pretty sports journalist blinking up at him and asking a perfectly reasonable volleyball question on live broadcast.

    Summary
