#fixing a house

[pan1ck]

[confuzing]

Street kid Luo Binghe makes the mistake of letting some weirdo get a hold of him and finds himself locked up in a windowless room somewhere.

The only bright spot in this shit situation is that there's another boy in there with him. Shen Yuan is clearly in considerably worse shape than Luo Binghe and he says he's been here for a very long time. But he's so kind to Binghe and deliberately draws their captor's attention to himself (and away from Binghe) whenever he can.

He also, after Binghe's been there about a month, steals their captor's keys, unlocks the restraints they're both in, and then shoves Binghe out the boarded up window he's been prying open when he had time.

Shen Yuan is too big to fit through the window, he says. They both know that's not true but they can also both hear that their captor is coming-he must have noticed the keys were missing- and Shen Yuan intends to stall him while Binghe gets away.

Binghe promises to come back with help and SY just smiles and nods and shoos him away.

He runs as fast as he can, and once he's far enough away from the house he escaped from he starts asking for help- but no one is listening to him. And he knows if he goes to the local guard he'll probably be handed back over as a runaway slave... And then he sees two men who both seen almost to shine in the dirty city streets... they must be cultivators, they must. If anyone can help him now it will be them. So Luo Binghe throws himself at the taller of the two men and starts begging for help.

Shen Qingqiu is absolutely positive this kid is trying to lure them into an ambush, but Yue Qingyuan- who invited himself along on SQQ's mission without asking him- doesn't think so.

YQY goes with LBH, and SQQ follows, complaining that this is a trick the whole way- up until they discover that yes actually the local nobleman does have a secret room he's been imprisoning children in and there is indeed an almost beaten to death SY in there.

YQY sends SQQ off with SY- gotta get that kid medical attention ASAP- while he and LBH stay behind to Politely Ask Some Questions.

When YQY and LBH arrive back at the sect SY is still in the medical ward but isn't dying and is even awake! LBH is relieved and refuses to leave him again.

YQY fills SQQ in that not only were both boys not slaves, SY was actually the son of the nobleman's first wife she had as the result of an affair. He disappeared from the household around the time the first wife died and all the servants assumed their Lord had sold the boy or killed him outright.

But now that the nobleman has died a sudden and painful and extremely mysterious death it looks like SY has inherited the estate. YQY will have someone from An Ding go sort out the details since SY can't.

SQQ watches YQY smile at the little urchins they've rescued and talk in a way that obviously means he intends them to stay and says, internally 'Fuck no Qi-ge you don't get to replace me with a Shen you actually did manage to save. Absolutely not!'

Out loud the conversation goes:

SQQ: I want the older boy.

YQY: What?

SQQ: You intend for them to stay right? I want the older boy for Qing Jing Peak, you can keep the little one if you want.

YQY, pleased and assuming SQQ and SY must have bonded while he and LBH were away: Of course.

SQQ and SY have not bonded, and once they get back to QJ Peak things are tense. SQQ is low-key kinda jealous of SY and also reminded much too much of himself by the boy. Except he was never as naive and stupid as this kid is! Why is he so nice? How?? And the little shit isn't even afraid of him!

SY, deeply sarcastic: Oh nooo. I'm going to be beaten? Such a thing has never happened to me before! *Coughs because his throat is permanently messed up from being nearly strangled to death*

SQQ, aware that if he hits the kid now he loses: You're not allowed in the library for a week.

SY: What!

SQQ: The next words out of your mouth better be "yes Shizun, sorry Shizun" or it'll be two weeks.

SY: ...yes Shizun, sorry Shizun.

Meanwhile LBH and YQY are having a magical adventure in becoming a found family and are bonding over their obsessions with their respective Shens. They absolutely come visit QJ Peak at least twice a week much to SQQ's displeasure and SY's delight.

astro observations that feel like dropping your phone on your face // neural downloads 🌬️

• aries can suprisingly be very monk-like, like i will not speak for three days but i will build a table without nails. they’re childlike but can be very wise. people get confused by this. the idea people have of them can make them feel smaller than they are. also this depends on where mercury is. if it’s in pisces, then they’re probably more on the silent side but with fantastical imaginations.

• pisces men are like that™ because the world bullies the softness out of them. deep down they want to do things like cry at sunset but then that becomes “get a job!!” they’re trying to merge with the divine but it translates as bad communication skills and spotify playlists.

• aquarius placements get their phone in hand, suddenly their brain goes into in orbit. they’re quite literally addicted to scrolling and watching. leo’s are also on their phone but mainly using the front camera or socializing. they just learned how to Shazam a song. and have like 7 apps.

• cardinal signs had a five year romance plan by the 10th grade. aries had an ideal type and didn’t budge until they found it. cancer was naming the kids first and foremost. capricorn scheduled the wedding. libra made a mood board for it, and an ideal traits note. they treat it like shopping.

• sag venus falls in love in 3 seconds and out in 2 - it’s like teleportation 🤣

• scorpio mercury says “i’m fine” with the same energy as a someone holding a loaded g*n. they’re lying!!

• gemini mars loves a verbal foreplay olympics. flirty texts, three side convos, and they love for you to guess what they meant.

• virgo risings idea of fun is fixing your life while ignoring their own mental breakdown. theyll load your dishwasher while trying not to cry

• taurus rising could sell you dirt and you’d be satisfied

• cancer mercury remembers everything especially that one thing you said in 2019 at brunch. and they forgave you…..or did they

• north node conjunct mercury means your destiny involves a lot of talking. like more than you probably want, but hey!!

• air signs fall in love after lurking on your google search history. earth signs love to see you working in your element. water signs want your birth time and for you to just…. sit on the ground with them. fire signs just want an unlimited pass to touch your face in public.

• sag moons/risings whole concept is basically i’m not avoiding my feelings i’m just traveling to a country where they can’t find me

• libra venus/moon flirt by asking deep questions and mirroring your exact personality. “do you like this?” **shifts entire identity to match**
