Ship time Baizhu is married to the Gui pharmacist from the Bubu Pharmacy
They're happily married
Ooooooh my friend... you have opened the forbidden box of brainrot on this one.
Now, to preface my thoughts on this: My own headcanons and brainstuff can be read platonically or romantically, because I can't decide which one's more precious here. Probably both, but let's jump straight into it!
(This is also based partially on the Baizhu has Eleazar headcanons I've seen floating around, just for reference.)
-Baizhu doesn't leave the pharmacy often for a reason, as his body is much weaker than it used to be. He gets exhausted easily, and with Qiqi's poor memory, it's up to Gui to keep him from escaping. He's successful about 56% of the time. The other 44% is Baizhu sneaking out and having the residents of harbor escort him back, all scolding his ear off about taking better care of himself.
-When Baizhu is having a bad day or is too sick to tend to the shop, Gui picks up the slack and makes sure to check on him regularly (which includes bringing him some hot soup from Wanmin and brewing his favorite tea) and closes the shop early, just so he can make sure Baizhu isn't suffocating in the mound of pillows he usually burrows into. It's only near happened once, but once is enough to nearly traumatize Gui for life.
-Gui is always prepared for the weather because Baizhu either gets overheated or frozen over somehow, despite claiming that he can handle the weather. Parasol, coat- and prepared to carry Baizhu if he decides he doesn't want to walk or falls asleep somewhere. Changsheng says he looks stupid carrying all that junk, until Baizhu is wrapped up in an oversized coat, shaking in his boots.
-Baizhu has collapsed from exhaustion once or twice, which scared the life out of Gui, and ended with him staying overnight to take care of his crazy boss. Baizhu has had several fever dreams of Gui appearing out of the sky like the gods parting the clouds, and octopus creatures with Gui's face. He never mentioned it for a reason...
-Baizhu is always strangely somber after coming out of a serious bout of illness. His usual teasing nature is gone, replaced by a sullen look that can only be described as acceptance. He knows what will happen in the next few years, though it seems that he struggles to fully comprehend it each time. It only motivates his work to find this immortality solution faster, but not after a few days of sitting under the peach tree in the courtyard behind the pharmacy, watching the sky with empty eyes. If only there was more time.
Gui will make sure to guide him inside after a while, especially during the colder seasons, it wouldn't do for him to get sick again. Baizhu seems so small, so vulnerable that Gui can't help but stay in the house beyond the pharmacy, fixing meals and making sure that Baizhu continues to recover smoothly. When Baizhu questions him, he merely smiles and offers a cup of tea, he can't explain the tight feeling in his chest, seeing Baizhu so... solemn.
-Letters arrive from Pantalone every once in a while. Gui doesn't like Pantalone in the slightest, especially after the fallout between him and Baizhu. He just... got up and left, not even bothering to clean up the destruction in his wake. Baizhu is still heartbroken over it, and always seems so hopeful when he receives a letter. Gui hates to see it crushed by another lackluster, robotic response. The Harbinger definitely didn't write this, and he hates Pantalone for it. For everything. Baizhu would be happier, if he hadn't been so selfish.
But all he can do is watch.
-Gui's family always teases him about his very attractive boss. Baizhu is very polite in their eyes, not to mention charming. Little do they know the chaotic and arduous task that tracking him down through the harbor is Gui's job now, and his boss listens to a talking snake with questionable motivations. If only they knew...
There may or may not be more of these later.
