Can you do more angst scenarios where male reader feels like they’re a third wheel and left out? I’m a sucker for angst despite how much it hurts 😭😭

Don't Leave

Hua Cheng x M!reader x Xie Lian

Sorry it took so long, forgive me 🧍

Will make more sense if you've read the book.

Hope you likeee

Ignore grammar mistakes

____________________________________

"Xie Lian, do you like San Lang?"

You had asked out of nowhere. Xie Lian glances at you for a moment and smiles. "I do"

"Very Much?" You press.

"I suppose" He smiles nervously

It was a random question. You and Xie Lian were in Puqi shrine, the morning after San Lang had left. After San Lang left Xie Lian a ring.

It made you feel strange. You love Xie Lian very much and you like San Lang too. However the ring suddenly made you feel lesser.

Recently you guys have had a third helper and San Lang has kind of taken your job. He protected both of you and was very helpful. Yet, you feel a certain itch because of it.

Because Xie Lian likes San Lang.

You feel selfish. You wouldn't have minded so much if Xie Lian had shown interest in both of you but he seems very caught up in San Lang right now. It feels like San Lang is threatening your spot.

It's always been your job to be by Xie Lian's side. You always have been. Always. You grew up together, you stayed with him after the fall of Xian Le, even afterwards when Xie Lian had done morally wrong things you stayed, even when he wanted you to leave with Feng Xin you stayed.

Xie Lian has always been your person. You've always been his person. Lately you've just been feeling left out. San Lang and Xie Lian had been perfectly fine at Banyue Pass by themselves. You had ignored your feelings of jealousy during that time, but after seeing the ring you can't help but feel it ten times worse.

You chalk it up as overthinking and shove the feelings of jealousy down your throat. You have no right to feel these things. Xie Lian shouldn't have to deal with them either. What right do you have to cling on him when he isn't yours? You guys aren't dating and Xie Lian has never expressed love for you.

You ignore it

♡

The feeling you hate so much comes back again. Xie Lian, you, the wind master, and Lan Qinqao all went to ghost city. There was supposed to be a purpose but you never cared. You only went because Xie Lian went. Obviously he would've been fine because guess who's been watching the whole time?

San Lang

San Lang has been here the whole time, he always is it seems. You had to stand there while San Lang and Xie Lian held hands and played dice. You watched as they smiled at each other and touched hands.

It shouldn't idk you so much but it does. The feeling crawls out of your stomach and claws at your throat until you feel yourself physically choking it down. You're being over dramatic. It's just a dice game.

You ignore the glances they send to each other. You don't see the glances they send to you.

♡

The feeling burns on your tongue and churns in your gut when the strange Waning Moon officer -whatever the hell he is- tells Xie Lian that he's invited to Paradise Manor.

Actually you hadn't minded it all. You had walked side by side with Xie Lian ready to see San Lang. You haven't got the chance to talk to him. You were excited, even.

Until the strange officer makes it clear only Xie Lian can come.

So you were just supposed to stay behind? Stand to the side? It upsets you more when Xie Lian only apologizes and says he'll be back to find you. He left you standing there.

You thought you and San Lang were on good terms so why would he not invite you as well?

You chalk it up as a misunderstanding and roam around ghost city. The wind master eventually finds you and the two of you sneak into Paradise Manor dressed as dancers.

Seeing San Lang and Xie Lian on the bed/ couch together helped nothing. It makes you feel worse. They left you out for what? To spend time alone? Being in Paradise Manor felt like hanging around in a place you obviously didn't belong in.

It's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding.

You repeat it in your head like a mantra.

♡

Once the incident at Paradise Manor is over you and Xie Lian are finally side by side again. You and San Lang still haven't had the chance to talk. You're hurting but you're positive that you're overreacting. Honestly Xie Lian would never do that to you. You were going to talk about it with him but he was dragged away into court.

Then Xie Lian, basically gets out under house arrest into the Xian Le palace Jun Wu had made him. When you get there Mu Qing and Feng Xin are already there. If you close your eyes you could imagine it being like old times where all four of you are back at the palace running around.

It doesn't last long. A big group of butterflies fly at you all. They don't dare touch Xie Lian. Mu Qing doesn't give you the chance to find out how the butterflies would react to you because he pulls you behind his make shift shield. It seems they doubt your relationship with San Lang too.

When you see San Lang come out of the black pit behind the doors to grab Xie Lian you take your chance though. You aren't just going to stand there. You leave Mu Qing's side and run towards Xie Lian but the doors close on you. The doors close on you. San Lang and Xie Lian left you? Not possible.

You're standing there staring at the doors. You just couldn't believe that they left you to stand there like a fool. It doesn't feel like a misunderstanding, it doesn't feel like overreacting.

Even Mu Qing, who is usually snarky ass, feels bad. He grabs your shoulder gently trying to break you out of your stupor.

"Y/n you should sit this one out. Me and Feng Xin will find them"

"No I-" you blink up at him, lost. "I have to go find A-Lian. He was taken. . ." You point at the door.

Mu Qing's face scrunches. "Xie Lian wasn't taken, he ran off. It was his choice. It was also his choice to leave you y/n. Just let us deal with it."

Mu Qing's words cause him and Feng Xin to bicker but he isn't really lying.

"That isn't what happened, say it as it is! He was obviously taken. Right y/n?" Feng Xin looks at you for support but you can only stare at him like a fish out of water.

"He. . . Ran off"

While you're focused on the door you fail to remember the butterflies hadn't touched you. You fail to notice the die in your robe.

♡

You took Mu Qing's advice and decided to sit this one out. You had never actually been separated by Xie Lian's side before so you don't exactly know what to do while he's running around with San Lang.

You go back inside of XianLe palace and sit where Xie Lian had been sitting before. You have nothing to do besides stare at the table. When you move to sit down something falls out of your pocket though. The closer you look you see it's a die.

Huh, you hadn't noticed that in your robes before. Lucky you it landed on a six. You wish you had that much luck with Xie Lian and San Lang. You pick up the die and hold it in your hands. Your plan was to just play around with it some more but you're suddenly pulled back into a pit of darkness and someone is holding you.

When you look back at your attacker, you see the familiar face of San Lang- well Hua Cheng but he's always been San Lang to you and Xie Lian. "S-san Lang?!"

Your surroundings get clearer and you see Xie Lian too. Honestly you're so happy you could cry, but you don't. You don't know what to say at all because you don't know what's going on. You just allow yourself to be pulled along by San Lang.

Xie Lian and San Lang take a moment to explain what's going on. To explain everything actually. For a minute San Lang looks like he's going to break down and e-ming is making sad squealing sounds.

Turns out everything was a big misunderstanding. San Lang and Xie Lian hadn't meant to leave you out of anything. San Lang had just wanted to do everything for the two of you, he wasn't thinking that his actions seemed like he was taking your job. He had most definitely invited the both of you, and he was very irritated with his officer. San Lang hadn't meant to leave you when he took Xie Lian. That's why he gave you the die. Since Xie Lian rolled the die he was able to get him. He could only come back to grab you once you rolled the day.

It was just a lot of miscommunication, really. You don't realize your crying until Xie Lian is wiping your eyes with his sleeves. You were crying out of relief. You had genuinely thought Xie Lian and San Lang were leaving you out but they were never doing such a thing.

San Lang and Xie Lian are very close to you after that and apprehensive to leave your side at all.

Headcanon #4

Xie Lian still scrap collects occasionally, but Hua Cheng always accompanies him, and this always ends with Xie Lian finding rare treasures and such. He keeps the stuff he likes and sells the rest at really low prices or gives them away for free

TGCF Headcanon: Reaction to Toddler Crying Edition!

Xie Lian: "Hey, kid, don't cry, what's wrong?" in the sweetest voice, he takes out some candy he somehow had in his sleeves and gives the toddler a nice smile in an attempt to comfort the kid.

Hua Cheng: "Yeah. Life is like that." He says in a monotone voice as he just lets the kid cry for like 10 minutes.

Mu Qing: "..." Covering his ears or walking away entirely.

Feng Xin: "Nope! Nope, nope nope!" he says as he walks away, maybe even runs away.

Shi Qingxuan: "What ever is the matter, little one?" They ask as she kneels down and gives the toddler a head pat and a smile.

He Xuan: "I can't even take care of myself, how am I supposed to make a toddler stop crying."

Banyue: She carefully shows the kid one of her snakes and let's them play with it. She makes sure that the snake doesn't harm the kid at all.

Ling Wen: "I'm not paid enough for this, I don't get enough sleep for this. I'm not appreciated enough for any of this. That's it, I'm done- I'm out!" she walks away and grabs someone else to make the toddler stop crying.

Pei Ming: "Uhhh... you like sweets?" he says awkwardly, not knowing what the hell to do.

Qi Rong: "SHUT THE F#CK UP YOU LITTLE TWERP. WAH WAH WAH, YEAH, I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT!!!" he is promptly shut up and even held back by Xie Lian, stopping him from harming this innocent kid.

Jun Wu: *bombastic side eye*

I find it funny that Hua Cheng was able to master everything but writing. How was he so bad at that? This man could sculpt Xie Lian's perfect image from stone and paint it on paper using any form of ink or pigment he found within his reach. Such skill with a brush yet he can't form Chinese characters? XD.

I bet the only thing he actually bothered to learn to write is Xie Lian's name. Would have practiced that over and over again till it became that funny squiggle that Xie Lian saw.

you think that in a modern au, if Xie Lian tried coming out as demisexual to his parents that he'd get the "no you're just a late bloomer" or "that's everyone sweetie, that's normal" spiels

I feel like Xie Lian eventually would start adding more colours to his clothes. In the beginning it's gonna be just to make Hua Cheng happy but after a while Xie Lian will realise that he doesn't feel wrong wearing bright things. His key colour is still white, he's still mourning. But it doesn't cancel out his right to be happy and feel beautiful.

Just imagine being able to wear something that reminds you of the most hurtful episodes of your life and smile, because you don't have to bear this pain alone. Guilt will never go away, just as sorrow. But now Xie Lian has a special someone who can not only ease this pain, but also remind him that there were many beautiful things too. And that Xie Lian deserves beautiful things like no one else.

I do actually believe Yin Yu is probably paid pretty well by Hua Cheng but I also believe that whatever he gets paid to deal with Simplord Hua Cheng will never be enough.

Headcanon #2

Hua Cheng does not know how to write anything except Ache of Separation and Xie Lian's name. He specifically only ever learned those characters (and it still looks like a whole other language/scribbles haha)

TGCF Headcanon: Customer Service Worker Edition!

Xie Lian: "Hi, welcome to ___ how can I help you" with the biggest smile he can conjure up, sometimes a very fake smile, most of the time a genuine, hearty smile.

Hua Cheng: "Hello, this is ___ establishment, what can I help you with?" with the fakest smile.

Mu Qing: "Did you find everything okay?" with the most condescending tone ever and a small and strained smile.

Feng Xin: "Hello. What do you want to order?" said with a monotone expression, and sometimes said with slight fear if the person in front of him is a woman.

Ling Wen: "Welcome to ___, how has your day been? Is there anything I can help you with?" she says as she has a cracked smile and heavy dark circles under her eyes from an obvious lack of sleep.

Shi Qingxuan: "Hey, just tell me if you need anything, 'kay?" with a slight upbeat attitude.

He Xuan: He doesn't talk, he just idles away until break so he can snack.

Pei Ming: "Well hello" said with rizz to anyone, especially women.

Banyue: "Hi, just some to me if there is anything you need."

Qi Rong: "F*ck you, f*ck this, I'm quitting, BYE B*TCHES AHHAHAHAHHAH!" He says as soon as any mild inconvenience comes about during his job.

Jun Wu: "I hate it here..." he whispers under his breath.

Xie Lian is probably awful with children, and I find that really funny and cute. It's also very human because lots of people are awful with children. He doesn't hate them, he just...doesn't know what to with them. XD. He tries his best, he feeds them, he likes to clothe them in cute things, but then when it comes to care he generally just sends them outside to run and play. He cared greatly for Banyue but would mostly watch over her while she played with Pei Su. He was the kind of adult that was great at advice and moral lessons, aka a Spectacular Teacher, he even taught the other gods a thing or two, but parenting? Eh. He's not the worst but he's also not the best. Qi Rong is arguably a better parent. (I can't believe I just said that. (TT)). It's not like Qi Rong has much competition in the MXTX verse. Winners will definitely be Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. Raised a perfectly trauma free child (or perhaps A-Yuan/Lan Sizhui does have trauma. He just doesn't remember it.💀).

Hua Cheng is equally just as bad with kids, the difference is Hua Cheng couldn't care less about it. He made that joke about having kids in the future as if he won't be competing with his own kid for Xie Lian's attention.😂 They can just be the kind of couple that doesn't have kids and that is perfect.
