“ truly, you have dizzying intellect. ”

They watch Hua Cheng from beneath their eyelashes and smile.

That’s a barb, clearly. For what? Getting a rise out of them? …A petty little part of their mind does chomp at the bit to get defensive. To cry out, ❛ What does that mean? ❜ or some such would be nothing more than the beginning of a repeat of a well-worn comedy routine between the wind god and the Supreme their beloved friend holds so dear.

But why should they? Shi Qingxuan has done Hua Cheng no wrong- well, no major wrong and nothing that couldn’t also be pinned on Xie Lian a little, dumb ghosty hypocrite!! They tire of making enemies that only want to fight with words. Hua Cheng, when Shi Qingxuan is able to look past his absolutely ridiculous strength and reputation, is a weird little ghost who hates them because he hates everyone other than Xie Lian. They argue only because they can. Hua Cheng makes them angry because he can.

And, well, that’s fun! Shi Qingxuan has fun indulging this business, doesn’t like or trust Hua Cheng nearly enough to not get a kick out of spitting at him a little.

But Xie Lian… Sweet, darling crown prince Xie Lian adores him. And Crimson Rain Sought Flower adores him… just as much? More, even? Enough to make Shi Qingxuan worry about their unlucky friend. Enough to make them wonder, too.

Enough to make them lean back in their perch and remain relaxed. Not today, ghost king.

Crimson Rain Sought Flower’s disdain or condescension is inconsequential. Shi Qingxuan is a person who loves positive attention, but they are hardly so insecure as to be truly stricken by barely veiled mockery coming from a petty man.

❛ Really? Thanks! I think I’m pretty bright, myself, ❜ they agree warmly.

Ming-xiong has better jabs anyway.

“ hear this now — i will always come for you. ”

None of the responses that Shi Qingxuan thinks of first seem appropriate.

It’d be easy, so easy to play it off. ❛ Ew, why are you being like this now? ❜ they could squawk. Roll their eyes in faux disgust. ❛ I wish you wouldn’t! ❜ Shi Wudu’s brows would furrow, and maybe he’d whack them upside the head with his fan. Business as usual for the two.

But there must be something wrong with them today, or maybe there’s something with the sincerity with which their older brother speaks, because that doesn’t come to Shi Qingxuan’s lips. Instead, they are quiet for a moment.

No, it’s because that would feel a little like a lie, wouldn’t it? And when Shi Wudu, their stupid, naggy brother looks at them like this, speaks to them like this…

Every now and then they find themself wanting to be sincere too.

They feel the same way, after all. How rare is it for the two to agree nowadays? Dumb brother. It couldn’t hurt to be like this sometimes.

❛ I know that already, ❜ they finally chastise, but their voice is sticky sweet with fondness. ❛ You don’t need to tell me. But thanks, da ge. ❜

They bump their hip into his playfully. Dumb, dumb brother. They’re glad he’s here.

“ you keep using that word. i do not think it means what you think it means. ”

For a moment, the smallest of moments, Shi Qingxuan is confused into silence.

Because, well, it’s not like they’re above misusing words. Shi Qingxuan may not be as much of an airhead as they’re made out to be sometimes, but they’re also the type who can run their mouth faster than anyone’s mind can possibly keep up with. Even their own. And, to be honest, they’ve been hard carrying this “conversation”, as they usually do when they talk to men. There was a lot of filler chatter, wasn’t there…? It could have been anything, really. This Shen boy seems the type to nitpick.

Shi Qingxuan mentally backtracks through the conversation, but they’re at a loss. No, they haven’t said anything wrong. What could they have messed up, anyway? What could this kid know better than them? They were in their zone! They were talking about makeup! Beauty upkeep! Their skincare routine!

…Oh. They still, before they breathe in in absolute glee. Was that it?

Where did that stuffy cultivator’s mind go? Scandalous! How delightful! Their eyes curve into little crescent moons, even as they hide their shit-eating grin behind a fist. ❛ What? What do you think it means? I’m confused! I get facials all the time! ❜
