He will have to contend with Xingchen fussing over him in return! And the, hopefully, warm body of his beloved will deserve all of the attention he can give.

As they enter the circle, he feels the gentle tug of the magic - the very same that had aided him in drawing his blood and life force. The bright white glow of said life force is drawn to Zichen, circling around him once he is seated. Xingchen beams at the good sign and settles in his soulmate's lap.

"I love you too. Always." he turns to embrace Zichen as the circle around them glows - a deep ruby red and then a piercing white. Wind encircles them, whipping at their hair and robes and then the light gathers, sinking into Zichen, first undoing the damage of the resentful energy and then giving him life.
