i  can't  even  get  him  to  clean  up  his  scrap  paper,  don't  know  how  he'd  react  to  me  throwing  away  anything  he  spent  time  on.   you're  so  sentimental..   it's  nice,   yknow.   he  adores  you.   it's  cute.

            mn,   his  artwork  is  development.  throwing  it  away  would  be  wrong.

/   art  teacher  au

that's  a  good  question!   i  think..   she'll  grow  up  to  be  the  biggest  turnip  there  ever  was.

            mn,   wei  ying  must  be  planting  a-xue  like  he  did  for  a-yuan.  what  will  she  grow  up  to  be  ?

@yilaozus 
            
            it  has  been  a  long  day,  wei  ying  needs  to  rest.  mph..  

..    maybe  i  should  give  him  some  space.   stay  somewhere  else  until  he's  ready.. 

@yilaozus 
            
            he  will,  in  time.  it  is  a  change  he  isn’t  used  to  yet.

but  he  won't  talk  to  me,   lan  zhan.   he  goes  straight  to  his  room  after  school..   he  wants  nothing  to do with me.

            ..  you  didn’t  want  him  to  come  back  ?  
            [   words  come  to  a  sudden  halt,  the  silence  deafening  in  a  room  not  untouched  by  wei  ying’s  presence.  his  things  are  still  scattered,  left  to  put  away  some  other  time.  things  have  always  been  clean  and  organised  in  this  household,  and  the  change..  ]  ..it  was  not  his  intention  to  /abandon/,  he  left  you  with  me  to  care  for  because  he  knew  i  would  love  you  as  much  as  he  did.  i  was  not  aware  of  the  extent  of  what  he  was  struggling  with  then.  and  he  had  a  child  that  i  was  helping  raise.  you  were  /everything/  to  him,  sizhui.

what  is  talking  about  this  going  to  solve?   you  didn't  talk  to  me  before  moving  the  mother  that  abandoned  me  back  in,   so  why  should  i  have  to  stand  here  and  talk  to  either  one  of  you  about  the  things  that  make  me  upset?   now  you  suddenly  care  how  i  feel  about  all  of  this?    him  and  i  haven't  talked  and  we're  never  going  to.   i—   i  don't  have  anything  to  say  to  him. 

@qishans 
            
            ..  sizhui,  if  you  are  upset,  we  will  speak  about  it  now.  wei  ying  has  said  you  have  yet  to  have  a  proper  talk  together.  is  that  the  problem  ?

@lanclans /first meet? Even though I'm not part of the fandom 

@yilaozus 
            
            mn,  he  is  gone  now.  you  are  here,  with  me.

oh,   but  i  enjoyed  talking  to  that  guy!

@yilaozus 
            
            i  believe  it  ended.  wei  ying  is  having  more  important  conversations.

@laoqings 
            
            yes,   he  gave  wei  ying’s  ribbon  to  me.  thank  you.

...    lan  zhan.   (    the  ghost  frowns,   his  brows  knit  together  as  he  wraps  his  arms  around  the  second  jade.   his  face  buried  into  his  neck,   as  he  shakes—  unable  to  spill  a  single  tear  but  still  incredibly  upset  to  the  knowledge  that  lan  zhan  had  gotten  hurt  because  of  him.  )

@laoqings 
            
            [   a  shiver  chills  the  jade’s  scarred  skin,  comfortable  enough  to  let  his  love  trace  them  gently.  every  touch  is  soft  on  the  rougher  areas.  lan  shan  avoids  turning  his  head  to  answer,  keeping  honey  gold  on  the  window.  ]  ..  the  elders  did  not  take  kindly  to  protecting  you.  i  do  not  regret  it.

            [  referring  to  the  amount  of  kisses  he  will  give,  rather  than  just  one  little  peck.  ]

well,   i  haven't  been  able  to  drink  in  awhile...      emperors  smile  and  a  kiss?

@yilaozus 
            
            ..  no  gifts,   why  ?  mn..   emperors  smile  ?
