Baizhu is busy ranting to Changsheng, "Ever since Xinyan taught Lumine how to make those plush dolls she always pays attention to plush Baizhu, like- I'm right here."
Chansheng scoffs, "I don't understand your human relationships. But being jealous over a doll? Come on."
Baizhu sighs, "It's been tough..." He almost starts to cry. Changsheng cringes, "Eugh... I'm going to find Qiqi and Paimon." She huffs and slithers off.
--------
It's night time, his darling Lumine should be here soon.
Knock knock!
Ah, there she is. He opens the door and engulfs her in a large bear hug, "Someone's excited to see me." She laughs kissing him.
The two cook dinner together and be all cute and lovey dovey, in between kisses Baizhu askes, "How was thay sparring match? Hm?" He asked. "Good. I whooped Childes ass!" The two laughed and kissed again.
The two clean the dishes and bathe each other before settling into bed.
Lumine is wearing that adorable nightgown he had gotten her, the way her eyes lit up when he showed her the dress. He loved it.
In their bed, Baizhu is spooning Lumine, who is spooning that dammed plushie.
If that plushie were alive he'd look at him and smirk. Baizhu snarls at the thought. He's thinking to himself and came up with a plan.
Later into the night he sits up and takes plush Baizhu and hides him into the a medicine cabinet. Then he sleeps where plush Baizhu was, He wraps an arm around his lovers waist and kisses her forehead.
When morning comes Lumine is surprised to be greeted by Baizhus chest. "Good morning my love" She mumbles and kisses his check, "Morning starlight."
The day goes by until it's night time, "Say, have you seen plush Baizhu?" Baizhu freezes.
"Why need him when you have me?" He asks, his head resting on her chest, "I need him with me, when we're separated... He keeps me company... But he'll never ever compare to the real thing" she smiles. Baizhu MMELTS.HE LOVES HER SO MUCH. ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY HOW MUCH LOVES HER.
"Mm... I'll tell you where he is tomorrow." He mutters.

When herbalist gui goes to open one of the drawers, he's both shocked and confused to find a plush version of his boss in there. even more confused when he sees the lip gloss kiss mark on plush Baizhu.
Maybe he's just tired.
