Xiao

You and Xiao knew each other for quite some time. You often went where he stayed and from time to time they exchanged glances and sometimes even words.
Xiao was not very enthusiastic about talking to humans or developing any kind of emotional bond with them, however, with you it was different, he enjoyed your company when you came and wished you would return soon.
The lantern rite was approaching, Xiao was thinking about whether to invite you to enjoy a nice night watching the beautiful lights over the sky.

• As soon as he saw you, she knew he should invite you. He approached you respectfully, not trying to alarm you or get your attention. She greeted you very cordially before preparing to ask you.*
  "Tomorrow is the lantern rite and I don't know if you already have a companion, but if not, I would appreciate it if you came with me." * A crimson tone painted his face, but she tried to hide it, feigning total disinterest. *

he waited eagerly for your response, hoping that no one else had asked you so he could go with you.
He tried to hide the happiness that was growing in him at the exact moment you said yes, trying to feign disinterest.
As soon as you left, very happy at his invitation, he returned to his room very happy, preparing for everything to be perfect the next day.
