Jiang Cheng (on the phone): Baby, you need to look after yourself! I promise I'll try to wrap things up as soon as possible here and come back. You know how much I love you.
In the background,
Nie MingJue: Ok, that's a... new development. How's Xichen taking it?
Meng Yao: He just excused himself to the washroom. I am pretty sure he was tearing up.
Jiang Cheng: Okay, A-Ling. Make sure you take Little Lotus for walks twice a day. And she has a vet's appointment tomorrow for her teeth. And put me on the speaker again, I need to tell her goodbye.
Antes que se acabe el día, acá hay un video que MIMI FM (quienes hacen el audio drama de Mo Dao Zu Shi en Japonés) hizo por el cumpleaños de Jiang Cheng, subtitulado al español:
My amazing talented friend Anna has made me YET ANOTHER piece of incredible Jiang Cheng art! This time it's a linoleum print, i.e. a type of block print where the artist carves away material from their block in between each stage of laying down color, so by the end the block has been almost entirely cut away and the print cannot be made again! Moreover, each block print is entirely unique, as the colors will align slightly differently every time they are laid down.
Look at those golden snake scales! The rich drape of the fabric!! The gorgeous patterned collars!!! His grumpy little face that I just want to smoosh in my hand!!!! I'm so lucky to receive such a beautiful piece of art. Thank you Anna for being wonderful and creating such a special gift!!!
A little late to the birthday party but Happy birthday to Wen Ning 🥺💕 I hope in another life he gets another chance at happiness and experience growing old with the people he loves 💖
