" well.. admittedly, i dont really like jasmine tea.. " mei nianqing trails off, finger on his lip. although he doesn't leave mount tonglu often, he still occasionally comes down to puqi village to visit his student. the discussion of tea came about, well whenever he visits, he always takes a bag of jasmine tea leaves to go. it makes little sense why he'd always take some tea leaves to go if he doesn't like the tea. " i didn't like it two thousand years ago, and i certainly dont like it now. in all honesty.. i like white peony much better. "
* dropping smth while i add notes to my mnq portrayal.. squints real hard. + finished tgcf so this is like.. post canon

" sometimes. " he admits, his tone quiet as he looks down at his tea, mei nianqing's lips drawn into a thin line. he sighed, taking strands of his hair and running through them with his palms. he'd done this in xianle too, whenever the subject was raised of jun wu, though at the time mei nianqing hadn't recognized him. " there are days i don't remember a lot of wuyong, and others that i remember too much. as we get older, we gradually forget some things to make way for the new. "

@guoshis ㅤㅤㅤ... i see. i suppose you recall those days fondly , then. * xie lian knew a lot more about sacrifices than once before. although this particular sacrifice felt a little mystifying , xie lian could see reason within. it wasn't as though the ' higness ' mei nianqing referred to so often was the same person , and yet.. it seemed as though his guoshi would always be his guoshi. *

" hm... " mei nianqing considers his words carefully, mindful. " well.. back in wuyong, it was a favorite of his highness when he was the crowned prince. i never liked it, but.. it seems to still be something he enjoys. and for those we care about, sometimes sacrifices are necessary. "

/ xie lian rant!!
/ do people forget that he's canonically very skilled? when he was still wandering, he would busk or perform on the streets to earn money. i can see him doing palm readings as well. he did sword swallowing as well as other very circusy tricks
/ xie lian's overall character is also somewhat unsettling in my opinion. in the novels and the donghua, he uses ruoye to strangle things and he's very, very calm when asking it to do so. he's more socially aware than most people perceive him as and i think he uses this to his advantage. he can be very deceiving if he has to and i really do think he could be good at manipulation
/ SLIGHT SPOILERS IN THIS SECTION!! there are arcs where he is quite literally cursed by something even the heavens cannot undo and somehow he manages to break free of that curse by just talking to it (or more specifically, deriving it of its nutrients, fear)
/ on that note, he's quite talkative when he's around a good listener (e.g. he talks to hua cheng a lot because he listens)
/ although i think my depiction of xie lian isn't always the most accurate, i do consider myself a very big fan or xie lian eheheheh

❛ ... ❜ a quietness follows as he bites down on his tongue, biting to draw blood as his slitted brows narrow as he sits across from his former master. now that peace has come, yet qianqiu looks more distressed than he did at the banquet. ❛ .. master, there's a problem. ❜
* woo hope u dont mind me dropping squints

@taihuas ㅤㅤㅤ* the god could not imagine how qi rong treated guzi for the youth to consider it to have been good. maybe it was because xie lian's perception of his cousin had been stained and tainted ; maybe because the idea of his cousin being — a father figure brought up conflicting emotion. * he — my cousin isn't exactly what you'd call open - minded ... i have no idea what he'd do if you ever confess what you're feeling.

he bit his lip to stiffle a laugh, shrugging his shoulders slightly. ❛ mostly swearing at me? ive never met anyone more crass.. ❜ he says, scratching the back of his neck. ❛ we had this.. stupid fight a bit ago. i wouldnt.. scatter his ashes, due to guzi and everything else. i.. hate him for what he did, but i wont leave guzi without his father. .. he's been good with him, surprising enough. i only wish he wouldnt use such.. crass language around guzi. that, and i wish he wouldnt group me with the yong'an men who hurt him in the past. ❜

@taihuas ㅤㅤㅤdon't joke around like that , i might come to my senses any minute now.. * it was true that xie lian never really forgave his cousin for what he did , going so far as to team up with an le to do what they did. but right now his biggest concern was what lan qianqiu felt. right now , all he could feel for himself was a headache. * ... i know a very different qi rong from you. i have no idea what he's been doing while under your custody..
