but..   you're  older.    so  you're  uncle.

@laoqings,        ..    i  am  not  your  uncle?

..   i  am?    (..)     oh  uhm..   xuan─shushu?    did..   did  i  get  that  right?

yes  well,    i  dont  want  to  do  anything  to  make  my  husband   more  upset.   tearing  off  peoples  heads  isnt  an  option.   to ..  give  him  a  break  from  all  these  tactless  mortals,    gege  is..  staying  with  his  cousin  and  his  family  for  a  little  while.   its  quiet  on  the  farm.    (..)      better  your  words  than  the  words  of  mortals  that  seem  to  think  that  someone  so  young  deserved  to  die.  

@rainsoughts,     as  if  i  am  any  moral  compass  on  how  one  should  grieve.   uh  huh.   garbage  drifts  into  my  waters  often.   i  have  burned  several  scrolls  celebrating  your  son's  death.    (..)   i  do  not  pretend  to  like  you,   but  your  son..   he  was  a  very  pleasant  child.   i  ..   am  deeply  sorry  for  your  loss,  crimson  rain.   for  as  much  as  my  words  are  worth..   i  did  enjoy  the  sentiment  of  being  his  "  uncle  ".   

...    thank  you,   black  water.    if  i  ever  get  my  hands  on  the  cultivators  that  led  the  siege  on  the  burial  mounds..    [..]    people  are  /celebrating/.    ive  had  to  throw  myself  into  work  to  avoid  murdering  those  "  visitors  "   to   gege's  shrine.  

should  it  not  be?     wait..    he's  wearing  red.     (..)     oh,    xuan—gege,    its  mister  chengzhu!  

@violetwraths,   is  that  your  final  answer?

mhm...   we  could  feed  him  to  the  fish.  

*    ykw  here  too  

*     !!  my  drop  will  be  a  little  delayed  bc  of  the  holidays,  but  it’ll  come!  (: 

*    !

an  hour  longer..   (..)   i  wish  you  would  stay  more  often.

@winepoured,      qingxuan —-      mn.    an  hour  longer. 

@winepoured,    mm—-       i  suppose  a  cup  would  not  hurt.   do  you  wish  me  to  stay  long  this  time?

/////     cough..   cough!    ahem..    either  is  fine.    i  have  uhm,   i  have..   a  pot  of  tea  on  the  stove,    if  you  want  some—

@winepoured,    ..  i  am.  i  thought  you  might..   be  more  comfortable  around  me  like  /this/.
