Then he said, “Oh, my phone’s lockscreen code is…”

“I know,” Luo Wenzhou said absently. “That date… The day you discovered your mom’s suicide.”

Fei Du’s footsteps paused a few steps away from him. “No.” Luo Wenzhou looked up in surprise.

Fei Du was watching him. Suddenly, he displayed a somewhat indistinct smile. Because he had his back to the light, it wasn’t clearly visible.

“It’s the day I met you,” he said.

GRAND FINAL - Fei Du vs Quan Yizhen

The final match to determine the Ultimate Shixiongfucker is between Fei Du (shixiong: Luo Wenzhou) from Mo Du vs Quan Yizhen (shixiong: Yin Yu) from Heaven Official's Blessing

Propaganda under the cut

Fei Du:

Fei Du: evidence? The entirety of Mo Du. His shixiong is is Luo Wenzhou, a dude with an eight-pack and parents who love him and love fei du as well, and a dude whom fei du is willing to not die/consider the future with, and consider himself not a monster to be with. Fei Du says shixiong to Luo Wenzhou so flirtatiously that they both stop and stare. Luo Wenzhou gets him birthday cake, a video game when he was small and a promise. (Also, they are cat parents)

If, like me, you go feral over ships where one of them is like this, then vote Fei Du!

#vote for fei du#the man who actually did fuck his shixiong despite all his best efforts to push him away

#vote fei du!!#who actually did fuck his shixiong#fei du died saving lwz

#anyway yeah vote fei du. for the suffering luo wenzhou had to go through when a slutty rich twink began to call him 'shixiong~'

How could I see these tags and not post a greatest hits compilation of Fei Du's "shixiong~~" moments!

Fei Du paused; then some mood caused him to add, “Shixiong.”  Luo Wenzhou: “…”  How could he use such an ordinary tone of voice to speak such an ordinary form of address and yet make it sound so sexual? It was really incomprehensible. 

In this small place, where every breath and bowel movement could be heard, Mr. Fei, who was so close to him, didn’t open his mouth when he had something to say; he had to use the office’s WiFi to send him a WeChat message: “Shixiong, can I take you out tonight?”  Luo Wenzhou looked up at him. Fei Du seemed to be focused on the screen of his laptop; if not for the suspicious trace of a smile at the corners of his lips, he would have looked absolutely upright and proper.  The “upright and proper” Mr. Fei moved his fingers, and another WeChat message appeared in front of Luo Wenzhou’s eyes.  He said: “I like your abs.” 

Fei Du sighed gently. “Shixiong, I’m going to love you until you can’t escape.”

Seeing that, after going inside with the box of cured meat in one hand and the clanking bicycle under the other arm, Luo Wenzhou still showed no signs of ceasing hostilities, Fei Du, without any warning, suddenly hugged him, kissing him like a surprise attack, this time saying the proper lines. “Shixiong, I was wrong.”  “…” Luo Wenzhou kept his face as stern as possible, but his voice relaxed uncontrollably. “Don’t give me that.”  Fei Du lowered his head slightly, burying his face against his neck. He thought about it, then said, “Can I make it up to you with my body?” 

Fei Du laughed quietly, pecking at the most sensitive place at the base of his ear, his other hand untucking Luo Wenzhou’s shirt. “I just got a scare. Shouldn’t you make it up to me, shixiong? My technique really is very good. Just try it, I guarantee…”

He was so angry he was incoherent, forgetting how to speak.  Fei Du, stunned, blinked his eyes, then took Luo Wenzhou’s hand with the veins standing out on it in both of his hands, brought his palms together, and curved his peach blossom eyes in a roguish manner. “Shixiong, I love you.”  Luo Wenzhou: “…” 

additional fei du propaganda: (almost) every time he calls luo wenzhou shixiong

Quan Yizhen:

Obsessed with his shixiong, much to said shixiong's chagrin. Someone who's a proper quanyin shipper can write better propaganda, but I just know he belongs here

Someone who's a proper quanyin shipper can write better propaganda

Well, okay. So Quan Yizhen was originally a street kid that was taken in as a disciple by the sect master at Yin Yu's (the shixiong in question) request because he was impressed by Yizhen's potential. But all the other disciples hated Quan Yizhen's guts due to a mix of his utter inability to read social cues and envy towards his raw talent, only Yin Yu was nice to him which is why Quan Yizhen's obsession with his shixiong took off. Yin Yu is the only person Quan Yizhen cares for.

Eventually his cultivation led Yin Yu to ascend to godhood and he took Quan Yizhen to heaven with him as a deputy god because he knew he couldn't leave him alone. Quan Yizhen doesn't care about prestige, he only cares about martial arts and shixiong, so he asks Yin Yu if they can't go back and if ascension is really that great to which Yin Yu replies to give it a try: Quan Yizhen does and actually ascends as a proper god.

However because Quan Yizhen is so naturally talented he quickly came to eclipse Yin Yu, which he didn't even realize because, again, he has zero social skills. This festered resentment in Yin Yu who eventually exploded and told Quan Yizhen to go kill himself... while Yizhen was wearing a robe that made him follow all fo Yin Yu's commands, so he almost does kill himself. He was stopped and Yin Yu was thrown out of heaven.

But!!! Quan Yizhen doesn't care about any of that! He still wants to meet his shixiong and is sure it was all a misunderstanding. Quan Yizhen actually beats up his own devotees if they trash talk his shixiong, nevermind that as a god his existance is dependant on said devotees. But he doesn't care about that! He only became a god because of shixiong.

When he finally meets his shixiong again, he recognizes him by Yin Yu's mannerism despite Yin Yu wearing a mask. Yin Yu hits him on the head with a shovel and he still doesn't care!! Quan Yizhen still follows his shixiong like a loyal puppy. When later Yin Yu dies trying to protect him Quan Yizhen cries and apologizes for not being able to protect him despite only being good for fighting. Quan Yizhen carries his shixiong's corpse all the way while heaven if falling apart. The last chapter implies Quan Yizhen is trying to nurture Yin Yu's soul to get him back and in the post-canon extras Yin Yu makes a cameo. So Quan Yizhen was succesful!! Death can't take him from his shixiong!

give it to quan yizhen!!!! his whole THING is unconditional love for his shixiong. No matter what Yin Yu does, qyz will love him forever!!

#i will not have my boy who literally calls out SHIXIONG any time he sees yin yu#and desperately chases after him even after everything#lose like this

#yall better give this to quan yizhen#if there's ever a shixiong fucker IT'S HIM

#yes!!!!!!!!#quanyin#he loves him so much!! it’s unconditional!!#vote qyz#tgcf#svsss

#quan yizhen is a real deal shixiongfucker#admit that every time you see his name you're screaming “shixiong!!!!!” reflexively in your head#polls

#qyz propaganda: wdym this guy was ready to kill and be killed for his shixiong#qyz is the most precious#he fights his worshippers if they talk shit about his shixiong#never minds the fact that said shixiong nearly got him killed#THE SUN AND MOON PAIRING#he's the epitome of head empty only shixiong

Fei Du, a sensible bisexual man of modern times, trying his best not to out Luo Wenzhou to his parents: "Yes, shixiong takes very good care of me, I can be glad to have such a good pal to lend me his guest room during my recuperation, just a good bro, very platonic." 

Luo Wenzhou's parents, who have known their son was gay probably since he was fifteen years old and have heard him say "this is the man I'm going to wed" about Fei Du with their own ears: "You're our son now, call us Ma and Pa, if you ever have any trouble you can come to us, we love you, next New Year we'll introduce you to grandma, she's going to officiate your wedding, what's your clothing size we'll knit you a sweater that says 'I'm his bae' with an arrow to the left and Luo Wenzhou a sweater that says 'He's my bae' with an arrow to the right."

Post book 1 thoughts but spoiler free only for the mystery plot.

So at first I was like- ohhh in cop politics it's about to get dirty.

And it did.

But like always priest is so good at managing the slow build up of emotional connection through the story events.

Because while there's an obvious history between them, the gradual decline of the Frost seems fast at first but at the same time the pacing is so good.

The hints dropped around the plot where we see the clear dislike ZhouDu have for each other but there's also a very obvious line of trust.

And the trust isn't- you wouldn't hurt me/you are a good person but explicitly in skills.

At first I thought it was gonna be a whole oh those two fall in love while fighting over Tao Ran(totally considered going the ot3 shipper route for them) but eventually it just became clear that Tao Ran is a bridge. While both of them seem to very obviously care for and respect Tao Ran, there's a trust they have in each other that does not extend to Tao Ran.

Fei Du is always seeking out Tao Ran because he's kinder, softer, gentler and does let him stick around because he cares but when it comes to details about the case he never opens up properly.

The moment he gets a real clue on possibilities he reaches out directly to Luo Wenzhou instead of Tao Ran.

Similarly when Tao Ran brings up case detail clue Luo Wenzhou is sceptical but open until he hears that it was Fei Du who figured it out and then he's not only open to listen but believes it immediately and jumps into action.

Of course they still have ways to go but the foundation is already there. They don't like each other but there's a respect in capabilities.

It made me wonder in the end when Luo Wenzhou talked to Fei Du about how he did investigate Fei Du's father after Fei Du kept insisting his mother did not kill herself and if Fei Du already knew.

Because Luo Wenzhou clearly caught the PI Fei Du had hired to trail his father, so Fei Du has to know and pick up on it right???

And if he did, it would bring a lot more thoughts to me...

It's very interesting their dynamic.

Now intended fanboying- okay Luo Wenzhou I can't believe you just straight up starting peeling the shrimps for him!!!

Luo Wenzhou would clearly pass the orange test.

And the scent thing??? "He no longer found the scent stimulating" bullshit!!! I heard you say the next line- "what a waste." Sirrrr waste??? You wanna kiss Fei Du so bad it makes you look stupid!!!!

He wanted to love him, wanted to take care of him, wanted to slowly unwrap his convoluted, unknowable heart like opening a beautifully wrapped package. Luo Wenzhou had started on a path with his one-sided declaration, had made his preparations for a long and arduous journey, carrying a traveling bag of patience on his back.

[cosmic-carpals]

several years late to this meme, but

misery - fei du, disassociating after locking himself in the bedroom where his mother hanged herself 7 years earlier (he had the house arranged to look exactly like it did the day she died) because his friend who he didn’t really like all that much but still spent time with was stabbed to death in front of him (he trained himself in the basement with emetics, electric shocks, and gory videos to react badly to blood so he wouldn’t become what his father tried raising him to be) and his situationship (the cop who investigated his mother’s death, who he is in love with but won’t sincerely say so because he’s been planning to die for a long time and is scared to get a reason to keep living beyond his revenge) left him alone there

CPR - fei du, literally 10 minutes earlier, climbing into said situationship’s lap to make out with him so he wouldn’t ask annoying questions like “are you okay?” and “don’t you usually throw up a lot after seeing blood?” and “nothing in the kitchen is expired, how often do you stay in this haunted-ass house?” and “uh, i seem to remember your dad changed the place up after your mom died, why does it look like it did back then?” and “why are you so calm about getting strangled?” and “hey, you’ve been maintaining that she was murdered for years, what do you mean you know how she died?” and “what the fuck happens in your basement??”

reese’s puffs - luo wenzhou going on a side quest to find ingredients and also some wire so he could cook a healthy meal (hot noodles are good when you’ve been throwing up!), pick the lock to the bedroom door, drag fei du down to eat, avoid mentioning the basement, and then drag him to work to do overtime

[maria-taiwin]

Priest has galaxy brain because any other danmei authors would have done Fei Du as a real predator who takes advantage on Luo Wenzhou, but instead we have Luo Wenzhou who looks at Fei Du and he just thinks: "Look at him, he's just a traumatized wet tiny cat, I can fix him (top him)"
