Zichen is usually anxious to allow people to touch him, but when Xingchen willingly reaches for his hand and holds it, fingers interlacing, his heart races and he blushed for a few moments. But he realize this is out of necessity to guide his friend through the neighborhood.

"That sound good. Xingchen, I'll go with you. A few houses down..." Eventually if he becomes a long-term resident and figures out his cottage, this won't be a difficulty for him anymore. He holds his hand back firmly, keeping them connected.

"Mn. That sounds like a temporary living situation. It's not much, but it would do." When they arrived to the front of the house, Zichen helps by leading him toward to the door, and opens the door for him and follows him inside. Hopefully, if this is the right house. If not, Zichen is now here to help him find his correct residence.

Peering inside, "Is this it? I'll get to the kitchen and make something for the both of us. What do you like? Noodles, rice?" Well, whatever is in the kitchen, he'll make it. "I'll make it for the both of us."
