Fusheng saw Fa'er smiling at him, but he had no desire to smile back. Fa'er must be plotting something—Fusheng realized it immediately: he was after his "incense and fire." Fusheng was stingy by nature; Fa'er shouldn't even dream of it. A hint of a smirk appeared in the depths of Fusheng's eyes as he lifted the puppy in his arms to face the still-smiling Fa'er. Fa'er’s smile faltered at the sudden appearance of a dog's head, but the puppy, sensing nothing, simply stuck out its tongue at him.
Who smiles at a dog? As Fa'er recalled the rumors he had paid for regarding Fusheng, a shadow of gloom flickered in his golden eyes. Although Fusheng had only just come of age and had only one secondary spouse, he was deeply enamored with that powerless Zerg.
Love? Can a Zerg (male/dominant morph) truly love his own Zerg (female/non-dominant morph)? He had never seen it, yet he desired to possess it. To possess the love of a powerful Zerg (male/dominant morph)—the mere thought made him tremble to the very marrow of his bones with excitement. Since Fusheng could fall for that Zerg, he could fall for him too; he was no worse than any other Zerg.
