Aaaaahhhh it’s here! I love this so so much. The premise is absolutely delicious, and the way you write humor never fails to make me literally laugh out loud.
“At Jin Lan his hair had held familiar curls, but here and now it was straightened and fell like the curtains of acid all around”
>I love this detail that Bingge straightens his hair! And the comparison to the acid feels apt and ominous…
SQQ’s confusion when Bingmei shows up was delightful! And you can really sense Bingmei’s worry and desperation.
“It was like something Shen Qingqiu had dreamed once, and in it the Luo Binghes had–but never mind that.”
>lmaoooooo. Yes, tell us more about this dream SQQ...
“The elegant Luo Binghe called out, “This is a demon that is going to kill Shen Qingqiu!”
>Watch out Bingge, you’re giving yourself away! Bingmei would only ever refer to him as Shizun
“Even if Luo Binghe would recover, what if he got hurt?!”
>Awww, even in the midst of all the chaos, of course SQQ is still worrying about him
“Shen Qingqiu gave Liu Qingge’s ponytail a reproachful tug. Liu Qingge made an odd choked sound, then grunted, “Shen Qingqiu! This is not the time!”
>LOL they’re too cute XD
““You care so much for so many!” He snarled. “Why him? Why–” He shook his head.”
>Oh Bingge :( Funny as he is in this story, little moments like this really make me feel for him too.
“Even if the other Luo Binghe wasn’t real, Shen Qingqiu couldn’t watch him be hurt.”
>That is SUCH a SQQ thought
“Luo Binghe let out a gusty sigh. “I’m aware,” he said, visibly irritated. “You’re uniquely annoying that way.”
>Ahahaha is that a hint of reluctant fondness I detect in your voice Binghe?
“Too slow,” the real Luo Binghe said, the words a whisper barely heard and quickly swallowed. The zuiyin on his forehead glowed red, giving his familiar features a hellish cast. It added a wrathful tinge to the victorious grin that split his face.”
>Yessssss I love when Bingge gets to be scary >:)
“There was no way Luo Binghe’s wives would go through something like that and be ready to fuck straight after!”
>lmao of course this is what he immediately thinks about
“What an ominous statement! Luo Binghe might as well have said: this palace shall be your tomb!”
>Yeah, sure, that’s… definitely what he said XD
“Had she been genderbent? No, not one of Luo Binghe’s wives, no way! That was far too gay!”
>love that he considers this could be a genderbent Sha Hualing. ‘Sha Yuan’ would be SO offended at the suggestion
“Sha Yuan gave Shen Qingqiu an unimpressed stare and crossed his arms with a faint tinkle. “Congratulations,” he said, clearly sulking.”
>Every single thing he does is so funny
“Sha Yuan glared at Shen Qingqiu. “He’s lovely,” his mouth said. Go die in a fire, his eyes conveyed.”
>LMAOOOOO
“He was glowering fiercely, as befit someone watching his sister’s husband molest a man.”
>sure, sure, that’s definitely why he’s pissed about this!
“His mind was stuck on the image of a Luo Binghe reaching for him in the water prison, throat healed but bloody after having been slashed wide open. That had been his Binghe then.”
>Awwww :(
“Maybe this Shen Qingqiu is defective,” Sha Yuan said hopefully, interrupting the long and awkward silence. “Junshang, this humble advisor can dispose of him!”
>hahahahaha
SO! MUCH! FUN! Poor SQQ is delightfully confused, and poor Bingmei and LQG are left behind to try to figure out a way to rescue him. The Bingge/Sha Yuan stuff is also just incredible XD. Thank you SO much for writing this for me! It has been so so fun to watch it come together <3<3<3
