Not to be a jingfu on main, but it's so cute that Jing Yuan thought of Fu Xuan with those jelly beans
#me: the Xianzhou characters are all just coworkers
#also me whenever anyone is shown to be fond and have intimate knowledge of some other character: awwww
#Like Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan playing starchess and teasing each other or making a reference to things they like
#or Jing Yuan talking about young Yukong
#Quingque apparently disliking Fu Xuan but obviously that not being the case‚ knowing what she likes and how she thinks
#Fu Xuan hiding that she has a sweet tooth but Jing Yuan and Quingque knowing it and teasing her for it
#I don't know. There are a lot of instances of these small intimate details in the middle of what looks like a coworker relationship
#Good coworkers‚ but coworkers nonetheless
#And ironically it moves me so much? Even more so than Belobog. I've been told several times that Belobog seemed more tight. And I agree
#In Belobog people were friends or family or companions but linked by something closer than mere coworkers with Wildfire
#Even Sampo in the Underworld was strangely 'theirs'. He had the magenta colour of Wildfire and he was trusted to some extent
#The Luofu characters don't have that. And yet the fragments of intimacy scattered through their interactions move me a lot
#These are people who have known each other for centuries. Jing Yuan knows of Yukong's youth‚ its joy and grief
#He knows Fu Xuan has a sweet tooth and teases her about her height. Quingque does too
#Fu Xuan chastises both of them for being lazy but she knows they're smart and good at their job. She plays starchess with Jing Yuan
#Quingque mocks Fu Xuan for being a workaholic but is very aware of the weight she carries both in her position and ideas about destiny
#I won't mention Yanqing and Bailu because there is obviously more than a coworker bound when it comes to them
#But yes I love the moments of intimate knowledge scattered through the Xianzhou‚ so telling of the fact that these people have known
#each other for longer than several human lifetimes‚ and that perhaps they don't necessarily regard each other as more than their coworker
#But perhaps that's enough in order for them to care. Perhaps in a lifetime over one thousand years the intimacy gained with a coworker
#through several centuries is something beyond what we could understand in our decades lifespan
#But also‚ perhaps‚ I don't know. Also‚ perhaps‚ the do care beyond coworkers in that strange line between work and friendship
#Perhaps it's strange for Xianzhou natives to tell apart that kind of relationship after so much intimacy and knowledge through the years
#And perhaps‚ once again‚ as it often happens for them‚ they think they'll always have enough time to tell; until they run out of it
#They play chess together. Quingque can lose time because Fu Xuan can't stay mad if she brings her sweets. Are they just coworkers?
#We play chess. I know what tea and sweets you like best. I brought them today since you would indulge me and play starchess with me
#Thanks for playing with me‚ I'm running out of book puzzles. You keep divining my moves but I'll invent a fake story to distract you
#Are we coworkers or something more like friends? Where is the line after so many years?
#I talk too much but I love this charged nothingness haha I find it ironically so true to how many relationships in real life develop
#And I find it so moving‚ that representation of this endearing smallness of everyday life. Of these small things is life made
