shen lanzhou is like.... he is a cute kitten. he is a mad dog. he is a sly fox. he is ce'an's white bird. he is ruthless and scheming. he is flirtatious. he kills his enemies without batting an eye. he loves being spoiled and pampered to death by his husband. he is naughty. he is a devastating beauty. he is delicate like a flower. he is strong. he likes fish. he eats them until only bones are left. he's picky with his medicines because they are bitter; xiao chiye has to feed him candies or honeyed water. he nuzzles on xiao chiye and sleeps in his arms like a cat. this man means the world to xiao ce'an.
it's not that I need a quiet day or a day off exactly; it's that I need a pocket of time that exists entirely outside of linear time as we know it that would allow me to get things done without time passing in the real world, and frankly, I don't think that's too much to ask.
