[ Chang Geng's joyous smile lifts his heart. Why had he waited at all for this? Rather than dithering about the "right time," he should have given this thing to Chang Geng immediately.
While he's immersed in such thoughts, the ring resizes to fit his finger perfectly as well. The rush of chroma takes him by surprise, and he gasps. He'd been told the rings' special powers wouldn't take effect until the wearers were intimate with one another. He'd taken that to mean, after they've been put on. But because he and Chang Geng have been intimate with each other—so many times—the chroma-boosting effect engages at once.
He leans in, to kiss Chang Geng again, but doesn't linger. That rush of chroma reminds him why he'd picked the wrong time to do this. ]
