How do I manage to get myself into such situations? Yixing asks himself mentally as he stares at the very hot circus actor person who apparently needed someone to throw knives at.

He flexes his wrists in the tight restraints as the circus person also known as Yifan, holds up his first knife.Yixing flinches involuntarily and wonders how his assistant had been injured.

So not helping. He berates  himself when he tenses, a prickle of fear at the base of his spine.

The audience screams when the knife flies through the air and slices into the foam at Yixing's side.

Yixing exhales, eyes flying up to meet Yifan's.

Yifan smiles reassuringly at him and raises his second knife.

Yixing closes his eyes and mentally writes a list on how he is going to torture Luhan for putting him through this.
