— Are you inviting me to come over... to your place? We've just had dinner, — Neuvillette is charming when he doesn't understand your hints at all. Although, he could hardly even make out a hint of what he basically does not understand.

You coquettishly wrap your own wrist behind your back, blunting your gaze at the floor, standing at the entrance to your house after a date that is already quite familiar to both of you. The Hydro Dragon really should have shown more interest in recognizing human emotions at the time, then maybe it wouldn't be so hard for him to understand you now. Yes, he notices when you're upset and understands that your beaming smiles mean you're happy, but now… Your behavior goes beyond what he's used to.

Neuvillette notices how your cheeks are slightly pink, you don't meet his eyes, you don't answer his question, but you don't leave. All the signs must indicate that you are confused, but by what? Did his question put you in an awkward position?

— Y/N, — the man clears his throat before speaking in a more serious tone. — I think there was a misunderstanding between us, and if my words confused you, then I apologize. I don't think I fully understand why exactly I should come to your house at such a late hour, but… if it's important to you, I won't refuse.

— Oh, Archons, you are unbearable! — you pull a confused man by the hand, forcefully dragging him into the hastily opened door of your house.

Just for a moment in the dark, while you stand pressed against the door that you slammed with your back, silence reigns between you. What should Neuvillette do next? Wait for an offer to go into the living room, start talking first? Oh, he's so bad at it.…

— Y/N…

— Listen, aren't we… kind of in a relationship? And it's been a long time, right?

Neuvillet thinks about it before answering anyway.

— Regarding the years I have lived, our relationship doesn't last that long, but if we take into account how long the human age has been, then I think we can say that we have been really close for a sufficient amount of time to designate this period as a long one.

— That's right. And we're already holding hands without hesitation, kissing and hugging when we're alone, right?

The Chief Justice swallows.

— Ahem… yes, that's right. Although it was all new to me at first, but now I understand why you're always so eager to touch me.

— So you like my touch? — you take a step forward, coming close to your lover before your hands fall on his shoulders, slowly sliding down Neuvillette's chest.

— If that wasn't the case, I guess I wouldn't let you do that, — the man tensed slightly as you fiddled with the fabric of his robe. You've never done anything like this before.

— At the beginning of our relationship, I said that I would show you how pleasant physical contact and feelings can be between two people… or, in our case, between a human and a dragon. You trusted me, and now you have no doubt that my suggestions, even the craziest ones, eventually bring you pleasure?

— I have nothing to object to. You've really discovered a lot of nice things for me that I didn't even know existed until I met you.

— Exactly! — you suddenly squeeze the thick fabric on Neuvillette's chest, looking straight into his confused mother-of-pearl eyes with complete seriousness. — In that case, you should know that this is not all.

— Not all?.. What do you mean…

— Neuvi, tell me, do I turn you on?

"Turn me... What?"

— Wh-what do you mean?

You frown, but then the irritation on your face turns to thoughtfulness as you look away, carefully choosing the words you are going to say.

— Have you ever wanted something more than kisses?

Ah, he seems to understand what you're getting at. Neuvillette is quite knowledgeable about the physiology and reproduction of humans, but he never thought about the fact that everything might not be as primitive as it sounds in scientific books. Kissing and hugging are not something necessary for people's life and interaction, nevertheless, it seems to be important to you, and he himself feels some dependence on your touch, although he does not show it. Does this mean that sex is also an obligatory part of any relationship and is a manifestation of love in physical form, and not just a way of one of the types of reproduction of living beings?

— Oh, that's what you're talking about… hmm, — the man really thought deeply, switching off for a few seconds before finally looking into your eyes with all the seriousness that only he is capable of. — I'm sorry, Y/N, I never thought that I fit into society well enough even after centuries, but after realizing that I have feelings for you, I decided that maybe I began to understand people a little better… I guess it's still not so, and it's hard for me to answer your question.

— In that case, I'll help you decide on the answer.

Neuvillette's words dissolve on your lips when you unexpectedly kiss a confused man.

It's not that you've never done this before, but now your kiss is more insistent, more… Passionate? When you unceremoniously invade his mouth, Neuvillette can feel how you are overwhelmed by the desire for intimacy and an irresistible thirst that he has never experienced when your saliva settled on his tongue. No matter how many human emotions he experiences touching the waters of the Fontaine, what you are experiencing now is so new to him, but the Hydro Dragon succumbs to this feeling, allowing his palms to rest on your waist.

And that gesture was enough for you to realize that your lover doesn't seem to mind what you're about to do, so your fingers are now frantically fumbling with the fasteners on several layers of his clothes while your lips are still on his. It's all so weird.… Perhaps Neuvillette undressed in front of someone for the last time only during Sidgwyn's medical examination, which, in fact, there was no need, but he could not refuse her insistence. But now you're gradually unbuttoning his clothes for a completely different purpose. Is this the first time the Chief Justice has thought about whether his human body is attractive at all? But does it matter if you don't seem to be tormented by a single question when you break off the kiss and gently pull his robe and shirt over his shoulders, staring at his now bare chest and torso with fascination.

The tips of your fingers lightly tickle Neuvillette's pale skin as you run them over the man's tense muscles, without taking your curious gaze off the trajectory of your movements, before turning your attention to the dark blue gloves clinging to his graceful hands. You wrap your arms around each of his wrists in turn, gently pulling the thick fabric from the man's long fingers until the gloves go to the floor to his robes and shirt.

— You wear too many clothes, you know? — you giggle, now looking up to meet Neuvillette's gaze, still with the same calmness on his face as always, watching what you're doing.

— No less and no more than is necessary to maintain the image of a judge, I suppose…

— Come on. Everyone in Fontaine knows who you are and how seriously you take your job and will never question it, even if you dress in something more comfortable, — the corners of your lips lift in a soft smile before you take a step back, depriving Neuvillette of the warmth of your hands on his skin. — And now… it's your turn.

The mother-of-pearl eyes of the Hydro Dragon widen when he freezes for a moment, awkwardly glancing at your body.

— Do you want me to, uh… take off your clothes too?

— Yes.

For the first time, Neuvillette was truly embarrassed. A slight blush covered his cheeks as he plucked up the courage to come closer to you and stretch out his hands to touch the button on your jacket. Hesitantly, but the man coped with the first task, unbuttoning your outer clothes before casting a last questioning glance at you, meeting your approving nod, after which the fabric of the jacket finally slipped off your shoulders. It seemed even this was so insanely awkward, but looking at your blouse and realizing that you will only be wearing underwear under it, Neuvillette feels even more excited, nervously swallowing before repeating the procedure again, gradually, as each of the miniature buttons was unbuttoned, exposing more and more areas your skin.

You'd be lying if you said you weren't as embarrassed as he was, even though it's not the first time a man will see you naked, but the fact that this man will be Neuvillette today… This fact really causes excitement in your chest. It's all so new to him, will he even like your body?

You blush even more when the Chief Justice slowly and carefully slides the sleeves of a thin blouse down your shoulders. For a few moments, his eyes roam around the dark room until he decides to look at your almost completely naked upper body.

— Hey, Neuvi… — the man flinches slightly when your palm touches his cheek, forcing Neuvillette to look into your eyes. You furrow your brows and pout your lips, gently pinching the skin of his face. — I think you've forgotten something.

You're really making him do it.…

Neuvillette's gaze finally hesitantly slides down. Oh… your chest is heaving so deliciously in time with your labored breathing, your collarbones protrude seductively under thin pale skin, that now Neuvillette can barely take his eyes off how fragile and graceful your body looks. Taking another short step forward, his palms touch your waist, sliding further behind you. Has your skin always been so soft and warm? Why hadn't he noticed it before? Neuvillette enjoys every second of it, during which his hands work their way up your back before finally finding the clasp of a bra in a pale blue shade. You hear a soft click and feel the fabric pressure on your ribs ease and the straps gently slide down your shoulders.

Neuvillette never thought that you could look even more beautiful. Although your body is certainly beautiful, and he cannot deny how just looking at your bare chest is enough to make an unusual warmth flow to the bottom of his stomach, he is more fascinated by how your face looks now. So embarrassed, but still looking into his eyes when your gazes meet. Of course, you're more experienced at this, but Neuvillette can't help but be touched by how awkward you feel too, even though what's happening is not new to you.

— Come on! — you grab the Chief Justice by the arm again, dragging him into the bedroom.

Even in the semi-darkness of your house, Neuvillette notices how your face takes on a new expression when you lead him to the bed, now moving your hands to his chest and gently pushing him back. Well, he trusted you from the moment he crossed the threshold of your house, so he obediently sits down on a soft mattress, slightly spreading his legs when you come closer, towering over him, standing between his thighs. Miniature fingers cling to Neuvillette's chin, forcing him to look up at you.

— Tell me, Neuvi, do you like what you see?

You expected your question to confuse the man again, but his face has never looked so serious as now, when he looks straight into your eyes, uttering his answer in a soft tone, permeated only with adoration.

— You're beautiful, Y/N.

You squint slightly as you smile, slowly sinking to your knees as your hands move to his hips. It's so sweet that Neuvillette takes every word you say seriously, but right now it didn't take him a second to give his answer.

The man flinches slightly when your hands reach for the fly of his trousers. To look at you in this position… So strange. Neuvillette is used to looking at people from the height of his judicial chair in the courtroom, he is used to literally looking down at you because of your height difference, but now you are … really kneeling in front of him, and he does not know what to say or do, so he continues to remain only a participant in your performance The script you didn't hand him.

— You've never touched yourself here, isn't it? — the warmth of your palm seeps even through the thick fabric of Neuvillette's trousers when you touch his groin, feeling a hard erection under your fingers.

Neuvillette had never felt like this before. Maybe this has happened before, when you pressed against him too hard or when your kisses were longer than in the past, but each time he was slightly confused by the reaction of his body to your touch. And now his cock was straining even more than before. Is this what you called arousal?

— Wh-what do you mean? — Hydro Dragon answers uncertainly, obviously confused by your seemingly very intimate question.

— Oh, then I guess the answer is "no", — you chuckle softly before gently squeezing the impressive hard organ hidden under his trousers in your hand.

Had he always been so sensitive? Even when you touched his bare skin, it didn't feel as good as what you're doing now.

— You're so tense, Neuvi… relax, you don't have to do anything. At least this time, — you smile again, taking one last look at the confused man before your attention turns to his boots, which you hurriedly pull off his legs before you start fiddling with the zipper of Neuvillette's trousers.

The Chief Justice sees you about to pull off his trousers, and lifts his hips, resting his hands on your soft bed, sheepishly watching how the expression on your face turns to amazement when he finally remains completely naked in front of you.

— Oh, Archons… — you freeze, just looking at his cock, making Neuvillette even more nervous. Is there something you don't like? Is there something wrong with him? — I'm so happy that I got you.

— Ah?..

You would have been amused by another cute manifestation of Neuvillette's misunderstanding of your words if all your attention hadn't been stolen by the view unfolding in front of you between his tense legs. His cock shudders under your gaze, which examines every protruding vein that stretches along his impressive organ. For a second, you even had doubts about whether he could fit anywhere inside you, but your hands reached out to touch the hot, hard flesh, causing a new wave of goosebumps running through Neuvillette's body. Your petite palm slowly slides over his erection before stopping, allowing your thumb to touch the sensitive head, slightly glistening with drops of pre-ejaculate in the dim moonlight filtering through your bedroom windows. It seems so… wrong, but a man can't do anything about how your touch makes this warmth of an incomprehensible nature feel even brighter in his lower abdomen.

You lift your head, glancing at the slightly raised abs and heaving chest, the tense muscles of your forearms, before meeting his pursed lips and half-closed eyes, shamefacedly watching what obscenities are happening below. Neuvillette is amazing. Perhaps his conscience is eating him up for the fact that, as he probably thinks, he forced you to kneel in front of him, but he cannot resist the way his body reacts to your touch. So why not embarrass him even more?

Neuvillette's mother-of-pearl eyes open abruptly when you lower yourself to his cock and touch the salty head with your lips.

— Y/N, what are you doing?! — the man anxiously stretches out his hand, hesitantly touching your head.

— It's all right, Neuvi. I told you, just relax.

What you're going to do… aren't you disgusted? Why are you doing this? Neuvillette's head is just boiling with the abundance of thoughts tormenting him, and he wants to make one more attempt to stop you before his words melt on his tongue, replaced by a moan that even he hears from himself for the first time when you slowly immerse his cock in the warmth of your mouth. Your lips have always seemed incredibly soft to him, but now, when they wrap around his erection, they seem even more tender. The man's palm presses against his open lips, muffling all the sighs escaping from his throat. Neuvillette is really distraught. But this is not the confusion that tormented him when you asked him to take off your clothes, now he is puzzled as to why he can no longer control his own body, which turned out to be completely at the mercy of the pleasure that you give him. It seems that the deeper his cock penetrates your throat, the more sensitive Neuvillette becomes, unable to stop the trembling in his legs, which strive to close if not for your shoulders, which his hips now meet. But what's even worse is the way you look up at him, squinting slightly and grinning when you notice what a mess your lover is in.

It was enough for you to finally start acting more decisively.

Your head starts to rise and fall under Neuvillette's palm, tearing another sweet moan from his open lips.

Damn… It's too much. Neuvillette feels an unusual heat coming from the bottom of his stomach, which reduces him with delicious spasms that make him want to both make you stop and beg you to give him more. The tightness of your fragile throat wraps around his hard flesh so perfectly, and the warmth of your labored breath feels even more distinct as you pick up the pace, plunging him deep into your throat over and over again.

— Y/N… wait, I… — was the only thing Neuvillette could get out of himself before his words dissolved into soft moans again.

His hips trembled as you wrapped your arms around them, and his pelvis lifted slightly to meet the inexorable rocking of your head. It's like a tight knot tied in the very bottom of your stomach, ready to burst, as soon as you swallow his cock one more time, and for a moment Neuvillette feels fear under the pressure of an unknown feeling when he feels his cock swell in the tight walls of your throat. But you don't listen to him, sitting on his throbbing organ again, sending a fatal wave through his tense body. Neuvillette's long fingers instinctively squeeze your hair as his heated flesh shudders in your throat, and you feel hot sticky streams flowing down the far wall of your throat, and the man's legs tremble convulsively, pressing closer to your shoulders.

What's it?.. It was as if all the warmth that had been accumulating in Neuvillette's stomach had now spread under his skin, and his mind was clouded by a haze that drove any thoughts out of his head, except how damn pleasant this unfamiliar feeling was, lasting for some miserable moments.

Your tongue slides up the still-quivering member of the Supreme Court as you slowly pull it out of your mouth, carefully licking every drop of cum left on his semi-hard flesh. Neuvillette is still breathing heavily, trying to recover from the first orgasm of her life. His eyes are closed when you look up at him again, and his hand slips off your head.

— Neuvi? — as soon as his legs relax, you slide your hands along the inside of his thighs, lifting slightly to leave a kiss at the bottom of his stomach, causing the man to flinch and lazily open his eyes.

— Wh-what was that just now?.. — his voice sounds so quiet when Neuvillette finally starts talking, still trying to steady his breathing.

— Huh… Did I mention that you think too much? — you smile, suddenly getting back on your feet. — You don't mind continuing, do you?

Neuvillette rests his hands on the mattress again, watching from under heavy eyelids as you deliberately slowly pull your trousers down your legs, carefully stepping over the crumpled fabric on the floor before throwing the clothes somewhere to the side, remaining in front of him in only panties. For the first time, he can finally enjoy every curve of your stunning body, feeling the heat flare up inside him again, while he just remains a witness to how now you are doing the same with your underwear. Without clothes, you look even more fragile and small, but now… This view causes the Hydro Dragon not only to want to protect you, but also to touch you, to shower every millimeter of your skin with kisses… to possess you. Is this what people call lust?

This time, Neuvillette didn't need any prompting to instinctively understand that he needed to crawl further away on your bed, allowing you to gracefully climb on top of him. His cock has hardened again, trembling insistently under the pressure of your crotch, now comfortably settled on the throbbing flesh, when you press your palm on Neuvillette's chest, forcing the man to lie down. You look so gorgeous, towering over him just like that, that he can't resist the urge to touch you and stretches out his arms to wrap around your waist while you playfully smile, looking into the clouded eyes of the man below you, swaying slightly on his hips.

— Oh, aren't you embarrassed to touch me now? — you giggle as you gently wrap your arms around Neuvillette's wrists and move his palms onto your chest. — It all belongs to you, Neuvi.

The Chief Justice swallows hard before hesitantly squeezing the elastic flesh under his palms. Such… Soft. It felt even more tender than he had imagined, just looking at her in the hallway back then. And you said… Does it belong to him? Why does the realization of this make his heart almost ache in his chest, as if he does not deserve to have such a wonderful girl who managed to get into feelings for someone like him?

— Y/N…

You tilt your head in puzzlement, looking at Neuvillette, who now seems to be considering his next words again.

— I promise that I will take care of you.

You're almost ready to burst out laughing, but you hold back, smiling gently at your man, the only one in all of Teyvat who could say something like that at such a moment.

— Try your best, Monsieur Neuvillette, — you bend down to leave a short kiss on your lover's lips, forcing Neuvillette to lower his hands to your hips before you straighten up again, lifting slightly and reaching down to grab his cock.

Oh, he's even more excited than before. Although he believes that such intimacy is already familiar to him, at least in theory, but it is still something that Neuvillette has never had to deal with before. He feels the moisture oozing from your crotch touching his cock as you align his head with your entrance, starting to slowly sink onto the hard flesh. Your tight walls gradually envelop his throbbing organ, enveloping Neuvillette's flesh with an even more searing warmth compared to what he felt when you plunged his dick into your throat. The slippery walls seem to suck him deeper inside, again awakening in the body of the Hydro Dragon the same heat that had tormented his poor body only a few minutes ago. He wants to stifle his moans again, covering his lips with his hand, but Neuvillette only tightens his grip on your elastic hips, moving his gaze from the place where your bodies connect to your chest, heaving heavily in time with your labored breathing, thanks to which he can finally hear those lovely soft sighs escaping from your throat.

You lean back slightly on Neuvillette's hips, feeling his cock stretch and fill you to the limit. All the past fears that he was too big to fit inside suddenly evaporated, replaced by a pleasant shiver running down your spine when he finally enters to the end, gently colliding with your cervix, which makes the lust bubbling in the bottom of your stomach from the moment you entered your house boil even stronger.

When you finally start to slowly rise and fall on Neuvillette's cock, he finally begins to understand why people like sex so much. It feels completely different from what you did with him before. You feel so good inside and it's addictive. The walls of the vagina wrap so tightly around his cock when you impale yourself on it more insistently each time, and Neuvillette can feel you squeezing around him, sending more and more of these delicious impulses through his body. The man's gaze is riveted to the place where your bodies connect over and over again, never ceasing to amaze him with how his hard organ disappears so easily into your insides. The more your hips pick up the pace, the more distinct the sounds of skin hitting skin become, merging with Neuvillette's restrained sighs and your moans, which will forever remain in his memory.

You lean forward again, placing your hand on Neuvillette's neck, already too lost in pleasure to speak, bringing another smile to your face.

— Do you like it, Neuvi? — the tips of your two fingers slide along his chin, forcing the man to look at you from under half-closed eyelids. His lips are open, releasing more and more sweet sounds from Neuvillette's throat as you continue to rock up and down his length, feeling the blood pulsing in the veins running along his cock. — Don't hold back your lovely moans, I want to hear you.

Your vulgar words settle in sweet spasms in the lower abdomen of a man. You've always been much bolder and more direct than him in everything that concerns feelings and intimacy, and Neuvillette would like to return the favor. Therefore, now you feel more pressure on your hips when he begins to lift his hips towards your movements and push you down whenever you are about to descend on his dick again, driving it even deeper into your insides.

You've wanted this for so long, worrying every time that such an offer might alienate Neuvillette, but now, feeling your lover desperately pushing into you, chasing his own orgasm, you don't regret at all that you finally got the courage. Having completely lost all control over himself, Neuvillette breaks down into the very moans that you so wanted to hear. You never thought that his pleasure could turn you on so much, making you feel like you're already teetering on the edge.

What could be said about him.

Your voice has never sounded sweeter to him than now, when you whisper his name, pressing your forehead against his. The smell of your body, your hot breath blowing over his face, the tense muscles of your thighs under his hands — this is what, even without knowing it, Neuvillette also wanted for so long. Every time you shared another kiss with him, it seemed to him that it was so damn little, but he didn't know any other way to feel you even closer. But now that your bodies are so perfectly fused together, he understands what he really wanted. How can you wish for something you've never experienced? People are truly amazing… And Neuvillette finally got a little closer to understanding what it's like to be human.

Too blinded by the new sensations, Neuvillette didn't even notice how he got so damn close to the very feeling that you gave him earlier, but now it feels even brighter, even more intense, forcing the man to press harder on your hips, accelerating the pace. And at the moment when your lower abdomen is cramping with familiar spasms, you press your lips to his, allowing Neuvillette to feel your body tremble under the onslaught of pleasure spreading somewhere deep under your skin. Your lips taste even sweeter when you squeeze so tightly around his cock, pulling Neuvillette after you into the abyss. His hands hurriedly move to your back, pressing you even tighter against his body as he has his second orgasm of the day. Hot flesh pulsates inside your sensitive walls, gradually turning white with sticky drops of sperm, and you swallow each other's muffled moans, sharing this unearthly feeling for two.

You go limp, leaning on Neuvillette with all your weight, having to break the kiss to catch your breath. You hear his heavy sighs, almost in sync with yours, as you both bask in the echoes of your own climaxes, and you lift up slightly to look at Neuvillette's flushed face. The silver strands of his bangs are stuck to his forehead, and his lips are still slightly parted when he lazily opens his eyes, meeting your gaze.

— Y/N, I'm sorry, I seem to get carried away…

— Hush, it's okay, Neuvi, — your palm gently presses against his hot cheek, and you can't help but smile as you watch him awkwardly avert his gaze now. — Actually, I think you're learning pretty fast!

— Is that so? — the corners of Neuvillette's lips lift slightly as one of his palms gently slides up your back. — I suppose I had a good teacher.

— He-he, of course. Just don't get cocky, I still have a lot to teach you!

Neuvillette suddenly looks at you in surprise again.

— A lot?

— Yeah, — your face takes on a fake serious look. — Do you really want to continue the course of human carnal pleasures today?

You laugh, lightly pinching Neuvillette's cheek before you start to lift off his body, but you are stopped by his hands, still holding you in his embrace. When you cast a questioning glance at Neuvillette, you are suddenly met again by an expression full of unshakeable seriousness, forever stuck to his face.

— I… won't refuse.

QQ Music’s description of the song ☀️

At the end of 2022, Wang Yibo will speak warmly again, "Like the Sunshine" will add a little comforting warmth to this cold winter, and ignite hope for us.

"Like the Sunshine" is a song that wakes up spring and runs towards nature. You have traveled alone for a long time, through the frozen winter night, the sound of the piano like a fountain emerges, the song shines like the dawn sun, pierces the silence; you run to the open. The string music is like a gentle spring breeze, lingering with the flute, blowing towards the face; In the superposition of bursts of drums and layers of musical instruments, you can see that the mountains and fields are recovering.Wake up, thousands of us meet here, between eyes and words, bloom. With flowers and stories, the world is finally as bright as the sun.

"Like the Sunshine" is a song about encounter and hope. About hope that ignites the light of the world. Though the winter nights are long and lonely. Let's embrace each other when we meet, we will become a fire that warms each other's hope. The sun will always come in some inadvertently as usual, then we will discover- It is not the sun that lights up the world, but the light that everyone gathers. the sun is not far beyond the sky, every day we light up for each other. A cluster of flames is the light that illuminates the world.

Let's go, let's meet! with the long-lost Friends, meet the scenery bathed in the wind, meet the bright and picturesque starry sky. The cold winter is gone, the warm spring is coming again, the fallen leaves are new on the branches, must embrace life like the sun, we must bloom life like the sun.

Hello Trau, long time no read ^^

I saw that Jade has been mean to his sim-… fans for Halloween. Me included, sniff. I used 1600 gems for him (+the offered tenfold summon), 1600 gems that I so lovingly kept safe juste for that event. Did he came home ? Noooo… of course not. Lilia ? Lilia kept freaking STALKING ME ! I got him 9 TIMES ! I was like « leave me the hell alone, PLEASE ! I’ll even eat your poiso-… your food ! QQ ». But I’m a little bit stubborn, so I tried the single keys I had in stock. 1 time. 2 times. 3… 9 TIMES. No eel in sight. In fact, no key either Uu’ I almost felt like crying, honestly x’D 2 days later, I gained the final bonus for round 1 : the almighty single key. My last hope. The little ray of light in this night of despair. And then…. « I apologise for the wait ». THAT. FUCKING. ASSBUTT. His summon line was so accurate it was scary x’D But, between us, if we’re been honest… was it really surprising ? It’s so Jade to make people taste frustration and desperation for his own amusement. Why do I love this bastard so much ? Now, it’s time for me to restock my gems for his and his brother birthday, hoping it won’t be as disastrous as this event. Please guys, have mercy on my poor unfortunate soul (and my wallet). On another note, I used 1 tenfold summon today, and Azul came home twice, like the good boy he isn’t ! <3 I won’t even try the third showcase, too risky Uu’

I still love reading your fics, the one with Azul was really cute (I totally see him try this roundabout technique just to kiss his SO x'D)

!! kuro !! it's good to see you after a long while :D

jade was....imperceptibly mean to his fans sniffs he robbed everyone anD dared to show up saying "apologies for the wait" :'))) your summons sure were a ride to read about *cries* jade really said no to all the jade stans in the world,,,,meanwhile azul's being uncharacteristically generous for someone who does everything in deals and comes home twice or more per 10 pull sjdkfjskf

and thank you for loving my fics !! i'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the azul kisser fic hehe he's definitely the type to take the very long road just so that he can ask for a kiss without seeming like he's asking for a kiss

大家好! I've had naengmyeon (Korean cold noodles) before, but not dong bei leng mian (cold noodles from Northeastern China). On a very hot afternoon this week, I finally tried it. Both taste similar - tart from vinegar - except the Chinese version was slightly sweet and had more veggies. Mine came with cucumber and ginger strips, diced tomato, pickled cabbage, hardboiled egg and the bounciest noodles ever. I wouldn't call them QQ, they were doinkdoink! Between this and tomato egg noodles, I prefer the latter, but on a hot day, this was pleasant.

It was my first time catching up with LL at the swimming club. She enjoyed our lunch of laksa, oyster egg and seafood assam pedas (a Muslim seafood stew believed to have originated from Indonesia). Besides sharing the 3 dishes, we ended our meal with lava cake and vanilla ice cream. LL liked the relaxed ambience of the swimming club and the lack of crowds because going anywhere on weekends, including tourist favourite, Orchard Road, is a nightmare if you don't enjoy squeezing with throngs of people. For a change, I made a video of the premises and food because there's a restriction of 10 photos per post. So... enjoy!

Besides collecting the 3 tubs of Legend Age moisturisers I'd ordered from LL, I also tried a new product - their eye cream. After dotting eyes with cream, the top of the tube doubles up as a massager. Like their moisturiser, this is quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving it supple, smooth and velvety. There's no need to use a lot of it, which saves money, a godsend during these inflationary times. It's very relaxing to have an eye massage at the end of a long work day! I passed a tube to Mummy and she was equally impressed after trying it.

Meanwhile, over 34,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza. Famine is still setting in, especially in the north. Israel claims to have let in more aid trucks and there were reports of 3 bakeries resuming operations, but bread alone won't eradicate malnutrition that now plagues many adults and children alike. Nourishing foods like meat and vegetables, if they can be found, are prohibitively expensive to most. New mothers aren't producing enough milk to feed their infants; even if these babies survive, who knows what damage is done to their health and internal organs, and how this will affect their futures.

A child born into a family is usually a joyous affair but there's no joy for Palestinians as Israel continues to rain attacks on Gaza. What little joy there is, is short-lived. Many of these little ones are either killed or die from hunger. The immense pain and suffering continues until a ceasefire finally happens, if it happens at all. It looks unlikely as long as certain countries keep arming Israel, enabling it to act with impunity and total disrespect for the rest of the world. I can only pray these evil parties will be punished and punished severely for their wickedness. 下次见!

qq’s hot girls summer s&b liveblog thoughts (for realsies this time)

my realest confession is that after all these weeks of talking abt s&b is that i still have not watched the show in its contiguous entirety... but now me and the roomies r doing it!! thoughts so far below:

post ep3

it’s literally not as bad as i remembered trying the first time everytime someone makes a racial microaggression against alina i just laugh and remember this is cartoon fake history. the politics make 0 sense! u can tell it was made during 2020 pandemic era too...

me and my roommates r constantly making ‘they would fail asian american studies’ ‘they need feminist reeducation camp’ ‘wow clearly this character is not very abolitionist of them ://’ i think we’re very funny idc (please note: we r all asian american communists)

pov u r in fantasy imperial russia and u open ur mouth and u speak... britishly.... (crowd boos n jeers)

all the crow scenes r delicious idc im over being mad that they dumbed down kaz’s intelligence out of context it’s funny and im glad they tone down the most edgy of his nonsense (altho the ‘hope is dangerous’ bit before his practical advice was corny i know they use it again in s2 but it’s too easy of a dig...) and kit young is easily so charismatic n sexy. more gun slinging more him being a hottie desperately infatuated w/ his boss pls.

i love poppy i wish they were a recurring character in s2. why r we not talking abt poppy and their last ‘encounter’ with kaz! im making fanart.

they changed nina’s story so that she’s basically an anti-conscription agitator???? they are kinda bigbgrained for that LMFAO i cant believe nobody told me she seems so cool!! im much more invested in her narrative arc than in the books and they def needed a character like her w/ this national drama kind of setting.

inej... inej.... inej.................................................

i understand #cookmilo. like the goat truly was not needed is this their attempt of adhd representation? leave us alone we dont need the emotional support goat!!! we need jesper’s debt addressed!!!

alina/mal r whatever they’re just cute to me.

[poeticlilies]

OKAY I CAN PROBABLY DESCRIBE ASUKAS PERSONALITY!!

basically she uses confidence and pride to cover up her self and block out her trauma, leading to her always shit talking people to their face. Specifically people she sees herself in which always comes out in a “bratty” way. She loves boasting about herself and how amazing she is to cover up her mistakes. She dosent want anyone to help her , because she wants to be independent and live on her own so people can’t look down on her. She hates everyone, but on the other hand she hates being alone and is scared of abandonment. She looses security when people leave her, but will never admit that. She presents herself as an egotistical self absorbed person, but it’s much more deeper than that. Not to mention , she’s sensitive and can’t handle it when people find out and bring up to her her fears and what’s going on behind her outside personality.

h..hi.. sowwy.. i lost ur og request..

w..who did.. who did you want me to write... again.. qq

[L&N] Truth or Dare 10: You Win + Dare

Prologue + Red Hands Game: here

After seeing the task on the card, Charlie hands his phone to me with complete ease.

MC: Do they have anything to do with proposal strategies...

Charlie: Of course not.

Hearing this satisfactory answer, I release a sigh of relief.

Charlie: I had already searched up proposal strategies a long time ago. It’s a shame that those ideas were far too uncreative, which is why I’ve decided to tailor a proposal just for you.

MC: As expected.

Despite what I said, a hint of warmth mixed with some anticipation surfaces quietly in my heart.

MC: I’ll tap it open then. There’s nothing I shouldn’t be looking at, right?

Charlie: Go ahead. I’ve never needed to hide anything from you.

To my surprise, the first search term that appears in the browser history is the word - “Zha Li Su”.

MC: Huh? Why did you search for your own name?

Charlie: As your fiancé, it’s only natural for me to pay attention to any public opinion about me. A model fiancé can’t have any gossip.

MC: Oh~ So what’s the public’s opinion of you?

Charlie arches his brows, a confident arc on the corners of his lips.

Charlie: Why don’t you search it up for yourself?

His expression piques my curiosity. Tapping the “Zha Li Su” search term, a series of headlines appears before me.

“Patients and family members sign on a silk banner as the well-known doctor in Guangqi City once again creates miracles.”

“The sole heir of the CEO is dressed to the nines as he participates in the ribbon cutting ceremony.”

Although the headlines are reminiscent of gossip in tabloids, the contents do sound like Charlie’s typical routine. I continue swiping the screen.

MC: “After the wealthy son’s beloved wife runs away, the infatuated Young Master chases after love courageously”?

Although this did happen, seeing how the embarrassing experiences between Charlie and I are described in this way makes me feel a little abashed.

Charlie: Such flowery news are far too outdated. Right now, aren't already at the stage of “Model Fiancé has succeeded in his romantic pursuit”?

Charlie winks at me. The brimming affection in his purple eyes reflect my blushing face.

Charlie’s Post: In ten minutes, I’ll get the bank account number of the editor of today’s QQ News and express my sincerest gratitude.

MC: “The sole heir of the Zha family has secret meetings with a talented female designer and dotes on her alone.” This editor’s pretty good at writing~

Charlie: Isn’t it very apt? However, we don’t meet up in secret. My love for you has never needed to be hidden.

-

Charlie’s Post: In ten minutes, I’ll get the bank account number of the editor of today’s QQ News and express my sincerest gratitude.

MC: I saw it too. The “Good-looking couple has a kind heart” article refers to the time we helped out at the orphanage during the weekend, doesn’t it?

Charlie: That’s correct. The article talks about how we’re a couple who is beneficial to society. Looks like becoming this year’s Model Couple of Guangqi City is a given.

-

Charlie’s Post: In ten minutes, I’ll get the bank account number of the editor of today’s QQ News and express my sincerest gratitude.

MC: “Handsome man and beautiful lady cause the street to erupt. Their radiance will never end”. Such a caption suits your palate. That editor deserves the money!

Charlie: Actually, what suits my palate is that photograph of us together, with you leaving on my shoulder and with happiness written all over your face.

Part 2

Please do not translate or publish my works without my permission.

The originals of my works can be read here

Fandom: Honkai: Star Rail

Pairings: yandere!Argenti x fem!reader

Warnings: yandere, persecution, abduction and a little angst, i guess?

Note: English is not my native language, so I apologize if there are errors in the text qq

I believe that every man I love should go through yandere XD

The moment when you will be imbued with love for such a courteous and caring man is only a matter of time.

Argenti is incredibly affectionate and gentle when it comes to you. His gaze is always fixed on you, and his big palm always finds a place on your waist when you are near. He loves to feel the warmth of your body pressing against his, loves to inhale the smell of shampoo that permeates your soft hair, and loves to hear a quiet giggle when he presses his lips to your neck, tickling your skin with curly scarlet strands.

But the more he shows signs of attention, showering you with flowers, kisses and sweet speeches, the more you begin to get tired of it, gradually moving away. His presence restricts and undermines the freedom that you need so much that the buds of feelings that bloomed like scarlet flowers in your chest began to fade over time, as did the bouquets that Argenti presented to you again and again as an expression of his feelings, which gradually became unrequited.

Argenti sincerely doesn't understand what exactly doesn't suit you. Is his attention and love still not enough for you?

The coldness in your gaze and the way you pull away from his touch pierces the heart of the Knight of Beauty with unbearable pain. No matter how much you tried to explain how much his love is blocking your oxygen, you saw more and more sadness and confusion in the look of beautiful emerald eyes. He wants to be the best for you so much, he wants to drown you in his feelings, what's wrong with that?

When you couldn't take it anymore, the words about parting came out of your tongue so easily, piercing Argenti's chest like a sharp blade sucking the life out of him. Although outwardly it seemed that the man heard you and respected your feelings, it was so damn far from the truth. The knight just can't get used to the idea that you can belong to someone else. How can you not understand that he is the only one able to surround you with warmth and care that you will not receive from other men?

Although it might seem to him that his «unobtrusive» presence in your life, which didn't leave you even after the end was put in your relationship, didn't cause you any inconvenience, it was completely wrong. A heavy lump rose in Argenti's throat every time he saw you with another. You were smiling, chatting sweetly with other men, and it seemed so wrong to him. This smile is destined for him, this sweet voice should sound only for his ears, and how damn unbearable it eats up anger and envy when Argenti sees how someone else dares to be so close to you, while he is forced to watch you from the sidelines.

You have no idea what exactly happened to the men with whom you had to contact for a variety of reasons that barely had anything to do with romance, but the more male representatives began to bypass you, the more hatred boiled up in you for the person who was probably the cause of what was happening. How many more times do you have to tell Argenti that you never belonged to him and don't want to have anything to do with him anymore, so that he finally leaves you alone? You repeatedly knock on tightly locked doors, trying to free yourself from the shackles that have tightly chained you to this man, but it all seems such a waste of time, because he will never hear you and will not understand your feelings.

Maybe he should just take you for himself? Yes, it sounds so terrible, and Argenti feels how the thoughts of your abduction make his heart ache, but how else can he prove to you that he is the only one destined for you by fate itself? If you don't see what he sees, if you don't feel what he feels, you just need time to understand that he is ready for anything for you.

But it's unbearable for a Knight to watch the time that you could spend together slip out of his hands like sand, so what choice do you leave him?

Finally he will be able to take care of you, finally his heart will be at peace, because you will always be there. Let your eyes fill with tears now, and insults and threats will come out of your tongue when Argenti touches your body, as before, but this is all temporary, right? The Knight sincerely believes that it is in his power to reawaken your feelings, and then you will be as happy as you were before, when your mind was clouded by unnecessary thoughts about the freedom that he deprives you of. Love is so cruel and requires sacrifices that Argenti is ready to make with you, but you step back every time he takes a step forward. Are other people really that important to you? Is his presence in your life not enough for you?

But you're perfect for him, even like this. Unhappy, scared and constantly crying. How he would like to see your smile again, and Argenti promises you and himself that one day it will touch your beautiful lips again, on which he will then imprint a kiss, which will mark a new beginning of your love, in which there will no longer be a place for anyone but you two.

[angstymdzsthoughts]

🎈1 wwx was supposed to die in bm. But he made a contract w/ a demon that reside in there. There are 2 term about the contract: (1) the demon need to live inside wwx dormantly, but wwx could use it power, (2) the demon couldnt devour wwx soul before his wishes accomplished. Usually the contract only has 1 wish but with some special arrangement, there are 2 wished: 1. To get revenge on anyone who wronged him (it all based on his conscience, 2. To see ymj sect established and being the great sect

🎈2 It was before. Stygian seal actually a tool to control demon power in him. So then wwx going on sunshot campaign, his 1st wish kinda accomplished. And then qq path happened. The things from there to jyl death happened. Wwx got out of nightless city on his own. So lwj didnt defy his clan. Wen remnant still alive. 1st siege happened but they already move out of bm. He want to get revenge on jin zixun bcs of qq path. Before that, he need to ensure wen remnant safety.

🎈3 So he sent a letter in jiang name to lwj, to get his help. Lwj agree to help him, and he actually could coaxed his bro and uncle to save wen remnant. There on begin the journey off wwx to unveil jgs crime (yes he knows jin zixun is under jgs on that day). At first he wanna do this alone, and then lwj come along. They finally could overthrow jgs, jgy, and jin zixun. That mean his first wish already accomplished.

🎈4 his 2nd wish may took several years to accomplished. In those several years, he become more closer to lwj, then they become lovers, then they become husband. They live a happy and blissful life. But wwx know his days become closer. He wrote a letter a day in last 3 years. Its for lwj to read when he is gone. When ymj finally got it stability and finally becoming a great sect, even greater, than before, wwx know his time is up. He ask for one more day, and the devil granted him his wish.

🎈5 he spent that day with lwj. He talk about everything. About his dream. About how much his love for lwj, like he always did. He need to ensure lwj that no matter what happened he would always him. The letters he wrote, he save those under tatami (idk what those in ch). Before go to sleep wwx tell lwj he wrote a letter and lwj could read it tomorrow. Then they cuddling and doing they everyday. When lwj waking up, he didnt see wwx. There are no wwx but only his red ribbon and his under robe.

🎈6 It was in the same wwx sleeping position. He become panic bcs its unusual for wwx to do this. Then he remembered the letter. The letter said that wwx sorry to leave lwj like this, and how he love him, and he left more letters under tatami for lwj to read. At last, he explain what actually happening. How he made soul contract with a demon. Usually when make a contract w/ demon, they only devour the soul but bcs wwx wishes for 2 things, arrangement was made. Not only his soul was devoured, his

🎈i forgot the number/ body vessel too. It is so that he left no behind for his funeral, and it make his close friend sad. The sadness enough to satisfy the demon. It didnt feel real for lwj. But then he look all the letters wwx left for him, then he realized that wwx really gone. He is gone without body to burried. He is gone without soul to reincarnated. So yeah, idk how to explain what lwj feel. I just guess he go to seclusion for a long long time to mourning his husband.

34 wangxian qq

“Will you miss me at all?”

Hey Jermy! I hope you like this! 

Buy me a coffee! | read on ao3 

Before he’d left, Wei Wuxian had stopped to ask Lan Wangji if he’d miss him, and Lan Wangji hadn’t said anything. Or at least, not with his voice. His face had barely changed at all, but Wei Wuxian had gotten the impression that he was, hopefully fondly, thinking that his soulmate was an idiot. Wei Wuxian had laughed. And very soon after he walked away.

‘My path is this way,’ Wei Wuxian had said. And Lan Wangji went the other way.

Wei Wuxian was such a fool.

Why couldn’t he have stayed? Back in Gusu there was Lan Wangji. There was all the rules and the disapproval from the elders and the judgment of the cultivation world around them, but his Lan Zhan was there and therefore it was home.

He had always planned to go back, but now his blood was dripping to the ground, and he was starting to think it was unlikely he’d be able to.

Dragging his body sluggishly through the mud and rain, all Wei Wuxian could think was that this would never have happened if he was with Lan Wangji. That he should never have left Lan Wangji. He’d had reasons for leaving, he knew, but right then he was having trouble remembering them.

The heavy rain got into his eyes and plastered his hair to his face. It was hard to see, though that might also be because of the dizziness from the blood loss. He was trying to find somewhere, anywhere, that he could find help, and maybe rest and bind up his wounds.

There was nothing around. The village that had sent him out on this night hunt was hours away by foot and Little Apple was nowhere around to carry him.

Wei Wuxian was alone and there was nothing he could do. His body was getting heavier and heavier, and his vision was blacking out every few seconds. The only reason he hadn’t collapsed was because by now he was almost used to working through such debilitating pain. It would be so much better though, he thought, if Lan Wangji was by his side, warm and strong and certain and helping him stumble to safety. If there was any safety to be had, that was.

The thing that had attacked him reminded him disturbingly of that giant monster dog of Wen Chao’s all those years ago. He was in Qishan, so it might even be the same one.

He hadn’t been expecting to see it. He hadn’t been prepared for something like it. And he’d been too scared to defend himself properly. He’d managed to stop it enough that he didn’t think it would be able to come after him at least. Small mercies.

Wei Wuxian had been dragging his body through fields and hills and trees for what felt like hours. It had probably not been nearly that long but that’s what it felt like. There was a road somewhere. Where? There, in the distance. It was too far away but Wei Wuxian forced his numb legs to move one after the other.

His blood was seeping through his makeshift bandages faster and faster, like the exertion just made his wounds worse.

He’d promised Lan Wangji that he’d be careful…

Eventually collapsing into the muddy grass on the side of the road, Wei Wuxian curled up, his mind finally whiting out from the pain. When he opened his eyes again, he didn’t know how long it had been.

And then he waited.

He waited and wished he weren’t alone. He wished Lan Wangji were with him. There was no one else that he’d rather have with him. But right now, anyone who might be even the slightest bit willing to help would be enough. So, Wei Wuxian waited for someone, anyone, to pass by.

Honestly, the only thing that kept him willing to move, to stay awake, was the knowledge that Lan Wangji would miss him, even if he’d never said it. If it meant Wei Wuxian could go back to him, then he’d do anything.

Wei Wuxian waited, trying to stop the bleeding, trying to relax and rest as much as he could, while still attempting to stay aware enough to watch for anyone to pass by.

And he waited. And waited.

And no one passed through pouring rain and mud. There were footsteps, no sound of hooves beating along the road. So much time passed, and Wei Wuxian was alone. The last dregs of hope he had drained away as the exhaustion and pain pulled him slowly back to unconsciousness.

Sometimes Wei Wuxian would drift back into consciousness for a few moments. The rain stopped? Were there people?

Did he hear A-Yuan’s voice?

It was… unlikely, but he was in Qishan. He’d planned to eventually meet up with A-Yuan and Wen Ning; it was why he was there in the first place. So maybe it was possible.

Maybe…

He drifted back off again.

And then? ‘Wei Ying! Wei Ying?’

Lan Zhan, Wei Wuxian thought fuzzily. But that didn’t make sense. Lan Wangji was in Gusu. He must be dreaming. Hallucinating? A-Yuan had probably not been there either if he was seeing Lan Wangji now too. In reality he was probably just dying and delirious, or maybe he was even already dead.

Lan Wangji was yelling his name again, and Wei Wuxian wanted to open his eyes, look at his soulmate’s beautiful face. His eyelids were just so heavy though.

The only time Wei Wuxian remembered Lan Wangji truly yelling his name like this was back on that cliff 16 or was it now 17 years ago. When he died. Wei Wuxian wondered vaguely if he was going to die once again to the sound of the person he loved most yelling his name in despair.

If he had the energy to move, to open his mouth, he thought he’d ask ‘Lan Zhan, are you going to miss me at all?’

[First] || [Previous]

“Isn’t it kind of weird to be sending this many personnel just for one person?” Allen mused, sipping on the cup of still-warm coffee in his hand.

“Makes you wonder what kind of information our neighbor has, huh?” Lavi grinned in response, his bones cracking and popping as he lazily stretched. He sighed in relief, dropping down into the chair opposite of his friend as he kept his eyes out on the (h/c) working the front counter.

Barely a month ago, they were sent to keep an eye out for this person – Komui claiming that a private company had hired them to do the job – but for what reason, it was still unknown. After the meet with the Noah clan on the first day of their move though, the higher up called them the next day with an objective change in place.

Their main objective was no longer to protect ______ _______. The Noahs had gotten close, and with them, another company was also fast approaching. The trio’s main objective, effective immediately, was to extract information without alerting the target while also keeping them alive.

Which, generally speaking, was easier said than done.

As ______ disappeared into the back of the shop, Lavi remembered how Alma had yelled at Komui and threatened to speak with this employer if they didn’t give them anything more to work on- What kind of information were they supposed to extract?! Even if it was highly classified, they couldn’t do their jobs with a simple “You’ll know it when you see it” order! That was some bullshit that would get them into trouble.

The eldest of the three was furiously working on pressuring the employers for more information, a scowl alien to his face now permanently etched on it. Alma was still strung high from his last mission it seems.

So far, they had found nothing about _______’s movements that were suspicious. No irregular activity, no shady men- hell not a hair was out of place! They looked like the perfect example of a good Samaritan which confused the agents to no end. No amount of digging was enough to uncover anything illegal.

Either they were really good with covering their tracks, or they just didn’t dabble in such things.

So they resorted to the initial plan of Allen trying to seduce the (h/c), in hopes of getting a whiff of the top-secret information they were supposed to keep out of the Noah’s hands.

“Lavi!” There was panic in their voice that immediately sent the two agents into high alert, their muscles twitching as they sought to move. Lavi was the first to stand already moving towards the counter to check on his fellow co-worker. Allen was working hard to calm his already shot nerves, turning around slowly and throwing an inquisitive look at the (h/c) as they rushed out from the back.

“I have to go, I have to leave-“ they were clearly frantic, shoving their things in their backpack as fast as they could. The (h/c) muttered a couple of incomprehensible words, Lavi shooting a look towards Allen that conveyed his confusion but also a warning to the white-haired boy.

This could be important.

“What’s wrong? I thought your shift doesn’t end for another half hour,” Lavi spoke nonchalantly as he turned back to face their target, a pout forming on his lips as _________  pulled their apron off and tossed it into some corner of the back-room. “Are you gonna leave me here? All alone?”

“Ah shush- you picked up everything really quickly so it shouldn’t be a problem. Besides,” they shrugged on their backpack, fixing their messy hair as they locked eyes with the redhead. “Manager’ll be here in a minute. I already told her about the situation but I’m really sorry to leave you early Lavi!” they threw an arm around him, squeezing him briefly before parting to look at Allen.

“and sorry Allen! Looks like you’ll be walking home alone for today,” grinning apologetically, _______ waved at the two men and dashed out of the café – completely missing the knowing look exchanged by the two friends at as they ran into the crowded street - thanking whatever deity that existed that it wasn’t raining heavily as it had been yesterday. It was hard enough running in that torrential downpour yesterday! They couldn’t afford to do that now; not when they had to get to something important.

A series of ‘excuse me’s and ‘I’m sorry’ flew from their lips as their already messy hair lashed at their face. Their breaths were coming out in short huffs now, panting as they willed their legs to run further – faster – towards their destination. Rounding the corner, ______ almost collided with baby stroller; a quick apology to the baffled woman and a string of curses at their carelessness all that was thrown to the wind.

With their legs burning and their lungs screaming for air, the (h/c) finally stopped in front of a company building. Allen, who had been running after them silently – and at a safe distance – watched as a frazzled brunette practically flew into the (h/c)’s arms, the flow of their conversation seeming rapid and panicked. He watched their neighbor tense as the brunette talked about one thing or the other, brows furrowing as they bit their thumb – a thinking habit he’d recognized from watching them for several days.

As subtlety as he can, the agent snapped a photo of the situation, sending the picture to Johnny to help identify the brunette. Allen was slightly surprised that the newcomer hadn’t just broken down right then and there – they looked like they had been awake for three days straight, had been attacked by a raccoon and wanted to bawl their eyes out if anything.

They stayed outside for all of five minutes before _____ ushered their frazzled friend inside. Allen lingered, watching the building for another couple minutes to look for anyone who might seem suspicious or was in league with the duo. When he couldn’t identify any, he moved himself to a convenience store across the street, hands going for the instant noodles and finding a seat that faced the building.

“Oi Allen! Where you at, man?” Lavi’s voice instantly filled the communication device as Allen turned on his earpiece. He winced at the loudness of his partner’s voice – something he would never get used to he supposed and leaned forward to rest his cheek in his hand.

“Watching our target. They met up with someone earlier and entered X Co. I already sent a picture to Intel so Alma will probably be getting something soon,”

“Nice going Allen!” Alma’s tired voice chirped from the device, the white-haired raising his brow at the apparent cheery tone his voice took on. He didn’t question it though – a cheery Alma is better than an angry Alma. We already had Kanda to be an angry grump.

“Luckkyyyy~ I wish I wasn’t stuck in some out of the way café with no one to tend to,” Lavi whined and Allen could just picture the redhead draping himself over the counter out of boredom. Allen heard Alma laugh at the younger’s attitude, probably shaking his head at why he had to be stuck with a bored Lavi on intercom.

“Oh please- watch duty is just as boring as waiting duty, Lavi!” Allen shot back, laughing at his friend’s boredom.

“Well, if anything happens let us know, yeah? Do you want me to take over? ______ doesn’t know me so it’s probably less suspicious if I was in that part of town,”

“No, it’s okay Alma. Stay and watch the house- who knows what those Noahs could be up to with _______ out of the house,” Allen huffed, ripping open the powder packet and dumping it in the steaming hot water. He stirred the contents of the cup with nonchalance, glancing briefly at the couple who had just walked in and was moving towards the snack aisle.

Didn’t he need to seduce their target soon? If clues pop up with this encounter, there’s a high chance that he would need to act.

He bid goodbye to his partners, turning off the listening device and resorting himself to his thoughts.

For the sake of getting it over with.

The sooner, the better.

Right…?

may we have more GUACK qq

    ◈ — @jackoiswaifu  || Request accepted !

    GUACK/JUAN is life!!  Also, this is a continuation of the other     Guan x Jack I posted, that you can find right here ⫸ ✦ ⫷

They didn’t really talk about that night in the next days. Mostly because after their small talk they got some news (bad ones) about Chase’s advances.

Jack was starting to get tired of bad news. Guan was both tired and affected by how things seem to be developing nowadays.

He couldn’t blame him for being worried. Even Jack was worried himself… The rest of the monks were risking all each time they got attacked and had to defend themselves rather than fight, hiding while working in a proper defense, in an actual plan instead of just going for the punches and the magic. It was Chase Young who they were fighting after all, nobody could take that man lightly. Not even Guan.

The monk left the temple after hearing the news and Jack was left there, getting his training from the other monks. It didn’t bother him at all because Guan left clear instructions about how Jack had to be trained, but still, the redhead couldn’t help but feel a heavy ball of anxiety in his throat that didn’t let him eat, drink or even swallow…  

He was used to anxiety and another kind of negative feelings, but wasn’t used to feel like that because other people… For being worried for someone else.

It took a couple of days and a lot of extra projects from his part to occupy the time but when he finally got used to the strangling feeling, Guan appeared again.

Jack heard the commotion at the entrance of the temple and then saw him, looking as calm as ever, like if the end of the world wasn’t happening while they were there, welcoming him with open arms…

He decided to stay away from the monk. From now at least. Guan always found him no matter what so Jack wasn’t worried… What worried him was that the monk decided to not look for him anymore.

Yet, his concerns were wiped away effortlessly, as easy as hand him the monkey staff; Jack gasped when he saw the Wu in front of him, presented as a gift.

“A token of goodwill from the young dragons in training… They said you had a certain connection with the monkey staff.”

Jack took the staff with a big, goofy smile in his face. The monk that was trying to teach him how to meditate was dismissed by Guan, leaving them alone.

“They really gave you this for me? ” He asked in awe, caressing the Wu as if were a pet or a very fond object. Guan smiled and nodded, sitting at his side, thinking that it really had a deep meaning for the redhead. “Thanks! ”

“Fung asked about you too. He seemed worried for your well being.”

“Am’ okay. I think he thought I would break easily but I’m stronger than that! ” Jack laughed loudly, trying to don’t pay much attention to the fact that Guan wasn’t mentioning their small chat the night before he had to leave.

Maybe it was better like that, he thought while fixing his eyes on the monkey staff, if Guan decided to ignore it was less humiliating than having to hear an apology because the monk didn’t want to— Oh. Oh! Oh–sweet–evil–gods…

    Guan was touching him!

Jack tensed up when the monk rested his hand on top of his own and looked up at him so fast that his neck protested painfully; Guan was holding his hand and smiling at him and oh fuck, was leaning down, right now…

“I have been thinking about what you said the other night…” Jack nodded, trying to read his lips because he hardly could hear Guan’s voice above the beat of his own heart, beating so hard in his ears. “… And I have to admit that has been too long since the last time I had that kind of relationship with someone.”

The redhead swallowed, curious and terrified at equal parts. The only reason why he was still there was Guan’s hand holding him in place.

“I am impressed by your courage, Jack. I didn’t believe you were capable of confessing me your intentions. Or that a young man like you could feel something like that for—”

“Quit with all the flattering, man! ” The genius snapped, too stressed to wait any longer. “If you are going to ditch me do it already! ”

Jack wanted to add that he was used to it already, that he didn’t need to sugar-coat it, that after Chase any rejection wouldn’tseem that bad anymore… But he couldn’t, the words trapped in his throat.

Guan seemed surprised by his reaction but he shook his head and the grip of his hand got tighter.

“No Jack, I’m not going to— I was just, trying to explain that I’m not used to this kind of relationship and that I will need you to be patientwhile I get used to this again.”

They both stared at each other, Guan smiling kindly as always and Jack— Jack gasping like a fish out of water.

“… Jack? ”

“… Did you just said ‘yes’? ”

“I— I believe so? ” Jack blinked, still shocked.

“Are we, like, dating? ”

“That seems correct, yes… Unless you have changed your mind and—”

“WHOA! ” Guan laughed, amused at the jump and the little show Jack made to celebrate but let him do; express himself was, after all, as important as anything else. “Oh man, oh man…”

“Indeed. However, this does not means you will be allowed to slack, Jack. You still have training to do.”

Jack whined, all his joy evaporating in a couple of seconds.

“You have to be kidding me.”

“No. Now, show me what you learnt while I was away.”

The redhead groaned. He knew that there was no way to get out of this, he knew the monk quite well by now and Guan didn’t let him get his ways when he wasn’t supposed to… With a tired sigh he put away the monkey staff and sat again, preparing to show him the past training.

“Maybe later, you can show me how people date nowadays.”

It took him a second to process what Guan was saying but he finally did. Jack gave him a big smile, licking his lips in anticipation.

“Yeah, sure, leave it to me… I’m gonna show you everything…”

[QZGS Prequel TL] Ch 8: Inheritance

(info post and links for the translations of the QZGS prequel, 巅峰荣耀 Top Glory)

summary: Thanks to a contribution of rare materials from a mysterious benefactor, a silver weapon for Troubling Rain has been completed. The time has come for the Sword and Curse to lead Blue Rain to glory.

(This is only a short chapter, and I’d already mostly translated it in my Summer Days of Blue Rain, but for completeness I figured I should clean it up and post it here. Normal disclaimers apply. Read/comment/enjoy!)

Translated by: Syncogon

“They won, they won again!”

“Who won?”

“Tiny Herb, of course it’s Tiny Herb!”

On the television, on the computer, in the Glory game, game forums, Weibo, QQ groups…

Anywhere where people gathered, anywhere where there were Glory players, the news of Tiny Herb’s victory spread like an exploding stove.

Glory Professional Alliance Season 3, in the final round of the regular season, the highly eye-catching Tiny Herb didn’t disappoint. Even when they had already secured their spot in the playoffs, they still played seriously to earn the last victory in the regular season, entering the playoffs at third place.

Tiny Herb wasn’t new to the playoffs, but this Tiny Herb, in their eyes, was an entirely new Tiny Herb.

And in reality, they had only switched one person.

Tiny Herb’s captain, the controller of core character Vaccaria, was now changed to a new person. And this new player’s name, along with his title, had echoed through the entirety of Glory from early on.

The Magician, Wang Jiexi.

This was a title that belonged to him, entirely unrelated to the character he controlled. His brilliant, incredible play was like magic. Let alone the ordinary gamers who wished to imitate it, even among the pros there was no one who could fathom the mystery. The experience of the seniors unraveled in front of this never-before-seen playstyle, and one expert after another fell to Wang Jiexi’s Vaccaria.

He was a rookie. In the beginning, they called him a challenger.

But now, at the end of the season, the challenger had quietly become the conqueror.

True, Wang Jiexi didn’t win every single battle. But only the Arena had ever had that kind of win record, and there was no way to surpass Ye Qiu there.*

In the Glory professional circle, people saw too many pro players rendered helpless in front of Wang Jiexi.

In the Glory in-game circle, the Witch accounts that sprung up trying to emulate his style were abandoned soon enough. They had no way of replicating Wang Jiexi’s Magician playstyle, and this kind of Witch naturally had no way of displaying the radiance they had hoped to see.

And now, the unique Magician was about to begin a new journey.

“Season 3 Playoffs, the Magician Arrives!” Huang Shaotian read aloud the headline of Esports Weekly. They were the greatest authority of esports media in the country; putting Wang Jiexi as the star of the final report of the regular season was proof of the anticipation toward this player. But after Huang Shaotian saw this title, he only spared a casual glance at the contents of the article before studying the player’s photograph in the article, and he revealed an unusual expression of melancholy.

“That guy, he’s already gotten to that level.” Huang Shaotian tossed the newspaper back onto the table. He tucked his arms behind his head, tilted back, and grumbled at the ceiling.

To the side, Yu Wenzhou was carefully studying a Glory battle and occasionally making notes in his notebook on the table. After hearing Huang Shaotian’s mutter, he paused the match and turned his head, his eyes sweeping across the large headline on the front page of the newspaper.

“The Magician. An accurate name.” This was his reaction after looking at the article.

“You…” Huang Shaotian was somewhat disappointed by Yu Wenzhou’s lackluster response, and he straightened in his chair. “Got any good analysis on him?”

“He-”

“Shaotian!”

Just when Yu Wenzhou opened his mouth, another young new Blue Rain trainee crashed into the training room, loudly hollering Huang Shaotian’s name.

“R&D just completed a silver weapon for Troubling Rain! Captain wants you to go look!” As soon as the youth caught his breath, he was already yelling these next words.

“What?” Haung Shaotian’s eyes instantly widened, and he leapt from his chair.

“Let’s go let’s go!” he yelled, already forgetting about the question he’d asked Yu Wenzhou as he flew out of the room.

Yu Wenzhou, who had just gotten out a “he,” could only smile and shake his head. He turned back to the computer, and was just about to unpause his video when the trainee that had called Huang Shaotian spoke again.

“Wenzhou, aren’t you going too? They’re saying that they only managed to complete this silver weapon because a mysterious player sent a whole lot of rare materials to Blue Brook Guild!” the youth said.

Hearing that, Yu Wenzhou froze. “A mysterious player?”

“Yeah,” the trainee confirmed.

Yu Wenzhou’s gaze drifted across the training room, landing upon that one computer that hadn’t been touched in almost a year.

After their former captain had made that simple announcement of “I’m leaving,” the seat he had used was left empty, his computer left idle. The Blue Rain members reached a tacit agreement that no one would touch his spot, as though hoping that one day, as suddenly as he had left, that man would return and take his place once more.

“But… you haven’t really left, have you,” Yu Wenzhou mused to himself, his mood like Huang Shaotian’s earlier, somewhat melancholy.

“Wenzhou, are you coming or not?” The other boy’s impatient voice cut into his thoughts.

“I’m coming,” Yu Wenzhou answered, gathering his notebook and pen and quickly walking toward the door. The trainee was holding the door open as he waited, and Yu Wenzhou noticed that the fingers of his right hand were moving restlessly on the doorknob, as though controlling a mouse or tapping a keyboard.

“Your hand speed’s pretty high,” Yu Wenzhou smiled, seeing that restless hand.

“I’d rather discuss that topic with Shaotian…” the boy said.

Yu Wenzhou chuckled; he was well known within Blue Rain for his inescapably slow hand speed, no matter how hard he trained. Of course, by now, no one would think to mock him for it. Despite this handicap, he still won many matches in their circle with this kind of APM. He demonstrated remarkable talent that was more than enough to make up for his weakness.

As for this trainee, he wasn’t really insulting Yu Wenzhou with that comment; he was simply the mischievous type. Captain Fang Shijing had mentioned that he liked this trainee’s style, and Yu Wenzhou suspected that this was a major reason for his recruiting this youth from the Challenger League into the Blue Rain training camp.

However, even just considering raw skill and potential, there was nothing to criticize about Captain Fang Shijing’s choice.

“If we only consider right hand APM, his hand speed is even higher than Shaotian’s.” This was one of Fang Shijing’s important evaluations of him, and indeed it was the case.

Yu Wenzhou didn’t otherwise respond to the trainee’s teasing. “Let’s go, Fang Rui,” he said to him as he walked out the door.

Blue Rain, R&D department.

For any professional team, the technical department was the most heavily guarded secret area. Information on how the team’s silver equipment was developed, or the specifics of their stats, could not under any circumstances be allowed to leak to the public.

After Wei Chen pulled the prodigy Huang Shaotian into Blue Rain’s training camp, Blue Rain’s technical team gained a new top priority – developing the silver equipment for Huang Shaotian’s Blade Master, Troubling Rain.

And today, they completed the most important piece of this most important work.

The weapon!

A self-made weapon belonging to Troubling Rain alone, a silver weapon, was finally created.

This wasn’t something that an ordinary Glory player could have made by just throwing together rare materials in the editor. Most silver weapons made by ordinary players weren’t any different from normal weapons, aside from the silver-colored name. But this was a true silver weapon, one that elevated its user’s stats far beyond what any normal weapon could hope to accomplish.

When Yu Wenzhou and Fang Rui entered, they found the room completely silent. Everyone was crowded around one computer, and most didn’t even bother to look up at the sound of their entrance. Those that did only glanced over before quickly turning back.

With effort, the two of them maneuvered through the crowd to a vantage point from which they could see the screen.  

The screen displayed this precious weapon – a light saber, slowly rotating. The blade looked like a crystal raindrop, elongated and sharpened; it glowed with threads of pale blue light and wisps of icy mist.

The silence in the room lasted for an indeterminable amount of time before it was finally broken by Huang Shaotian, who, despite his talkative mouth, had only one word to say.

“Amazing.”

Standing right beside him, Captain Fang Shijing said to him, “Try it out.”

Huang Shaotian nodded sharply. In a flurry of movement, he equipped the weapon on his character and entered a match in the Arena.

When the battle began, no one paid attention to his poor opponent or his class; they only saw the flashes of blue light from the sword in Troubling Rain’s hand. They watched it dance, jump, kill. Blood droplets scattered across the ground as his opponent fell.

“This is fantastic!” This time, Huang Shaotian said three words, and he jumped up onto his chair. “With him, next season I’ll give them a show! What Battle God, King of Fighting, Blood and Blossoms, Magician… Just you all wait!”

“Alright!” No one moved to stop Huang Shaotian’s excited movement. All of the Blue Rain members, staff and players alike, had been awaiting this day for a long time.

This season, Wei Chen had retired, Fang Shijing had stepped up, Blue Rain hadn’t even made it to the playoffs. To outsiders, it seemed as though this team’s days of being a powerhouse were over, that they were now fading from the spotlight.

But no one at Blue Rain believed this.

Even if their record this season was poor, even if they were forgotten this summer. No matter what, they had faith that Blue Rain would have an era that belonged to them. And this era, with the birth of this silver weapon, was about to begin.

“It’s up to you, Shaotian!” one of the technical workers said, and others immediately voiced their agreement.

“Do you even need to say that? Of course!” said Huang Shaotian. But just that one battle wasn’t enough for him to fully try out this new weapon. He quickly sat back in his chair and entered a new battle, this time chattering away at the tech workers sitting near him as he experimented with his new capabilities.

By this time, Captain Fang Shijing had quietly made his way through the crowd to stand by Yu Wenzhou.

“Are you ready?” he asked, abruptly.

Yu Wenzhou turned to look at him. But Fang Shijing was staring out the window, gazing at that brilliant blue sky beyond.

“Yes,” answered Yu Wenzhou.

“Then it’s time to entrust this to you.” As he spoke, Fang Shijing’s gaze shifted down to his hand, and the account card it held. Without fanfare, this card was passed to its new owner.

“From today on, you are the captain of Team Blue Rain, user of the Warlock Swoksaar.”

*the original text said “诚然王杰希也不是百战百胜，但是竞技场上，从来没有这样的胜率，强如叶秋，也不可能。” which I read as something like “True, Wang Jiexi didn’t win every single battle. But the Arena had never seen this kind of win record before, and there was no way to surpass Ye Qiu.” But no matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t figure out how that sentence was true / made sense.
