Fics like A small kindness

He turned his head toward the door, the motion unhurried and relaxed, now that he felt more or less safe in this house. (More or less – as he was still distrustful, still cautious, still watching. The Zhaos and the Fan sisters seemed like honest people, but Xie Zheng knew very well that people could be bought anywhere; you only needed to find the right price. He was acutely aware that his life was hanging in the hands of people who could definitely use a few taels of silver.) After a brief pause, the door creaked open just enough for a small head to poke through. “Can I come in?” his visitor whispered much louder than probably intended, blinking at him with innocent, big brown eyes and chubby cheeks. Xie Zheng – already expecting her – nodded silently, curious to find out what she was up to today. Changning entered as if she was trying to be stealthy – mindful of the noise of her shoes against the floor, and pushing the door to a close slowly and quietly. (Xie Zheng didn’t deem it necessary to point out that her earlier whisper-shouting in front of the door probably betrayed her to Zhao daniang already.)
