Chapter Text
A angel came down to earth on a clear starry night. The sky was full of beautiful colors, bright tiny suns shinning gracefully to the angels decent. In the angels hands lay a small infant.
It’s small body wrapped in white silk blanket with golden treads stitched through. Truly this was a heavenly gift bestowed to the village! To witness a sight of an angel brighter than the day it self holding an infant who shinned just as bright.
The angel landed in the middle of the small village to only lay eyes on a woman and her husband. The angel began to glide over never touching the ground its self. In front of the couple the angel placed the infant in the women’s shaking hands.
((This is a child of thy future, the future chief of the village. Follow thy rule and your village will be spared. If fear takes over your hearts, you will all perish. We will take him back if he is not heard in gods will or thy own.”))
The angel had flew away after that…but really? Would it be wise to listen to a child?
Xie lian began to stretch his arms and legs like a cat. With a big yawn he looked down to see his daughter was already up combing her own hair. Xie lian looked to the side to see Hua chengs face on his shoulder still sleeping.
The man really needed to distance himself, but it’s like getting out of a honey pit. So sweet and tempting, and yet so wrong…but what was so wrong in the first place? Fear maybe.
This winter needed to hurry up or else his heart wouldn’t make it to “single” town in spring.
Xie lian slowly moved out of his strong arms to walk over to his daughter.
“Banyue, can I choose your outfit today?”
Banyue bounced up and down, excitement evident.
Xie lian began to choose a comfortable outfit for her with lovely bows and then chose hair ornaments she liked. He dressed her up with nice white tiny shoes. She looked like a purple Victorian baby doll. He opened the door to his Grammy outside with an outfit her self.
“Hi mom, I was about to ask if you wanted to head out with me and Banyue to the library today?”
His gran grand fancies dressed for spring but she wore a fur coat with a scarf. She always wanted to dress nice even inside the house. Truly Xie lian loved his grandmother so much.
Granny: sorry hun, just wanted to see Hua cheng today. We need to speak about a few things.
“Need, not to worry.” A voice behind Xie lian came closer with a deep husk…yep not gonna make it…
Large hands grasp his waist. Xie lian turned his head up to see a smitten Hua cheng speaking to his grandmother. When his mouth opened he saw his sharp k-9s…do vampires really…
With a tug, Xie lian looked down to Banyue’s tiny pout. She was ready to eat breakfast at this point, so he gently nudged Hua cheng by rubbing his face into his neck.
“Our baby is hungry, we should go eat.”
Xie lian notice those pale ears turning pink then with a kiss to Hua chengs pale cheek, Xie lian scattered off with his daughter to the dinning room before he could see Hua chengs reaction.
Hua cheng just stood still as love consumed him like a firework. His beloved kissed his cheek and whispered into his ear! Agh! His angel truly is the only god he will ever worship. Such beauty, such love, such everything! Hua cheng is gonna combust on the spot in front of the old hag.
“Agh, right you asked for something correct?”
Granny : I do what I can to keep my family afloat.
“By giving money to the man who abused my angel. Yea how sweet of you.”
Granny : my son hurt my grand baby but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person. Fear stuck him so he struck back! There is nothing wrong with that.
“Save your bullshit excuse to someone who cares about your hypocrisy. My angel deserved the world, yet you treat him like a fool.”
Granny: I’m not the only one leaving him in the dark you wicked man. A curse is a curse, and if it takes you down so be it I have no remorse for that cursed child anyways.”
Hua cheng slit her cheek without even moving, his eyes shinning a crimson red. His hand envelopes the old hags face squeezing till she was close to his own face. Seething rage in calm storms was given to the glutton of a human trash in-front of him.
“I’ll make sure to kill you faster than your fucking fake cancer you hypocrite witch.” He growled with pent up rage.
He threw the old bitch to the wall, …he needed to be with his actual family. He took out his handkerchief to wipe his hand, Walking into the dinning room much farther than where he tossed the old bitch. He lost his cool when his beloved was insulted…he should hold his temper before he can talk to the old witch again.
He saw his angel petting their daughter’s hair. Truly his family made his anger become nothing but a flower field. He walked over to kiss their cheeks and sit down to eat.
“San lang, do you know where my grandmother is?”
With control, he smiled at his wife, putting on a relax posture he began to answer with ease.
“Your gran is in her room to rest since she wasn’t felling to good. A servant will deliver her food so gege need not to worry.”
Xie lian seems content with that answer. He wasn’t lying either, a servant would tend to her needs and whims. His angel picked up the fork to give some fruit to their daughter. Agh speaking of, today was the day Xie lian test their daughter’s intellect.
After the comment about female pirates getting the whore ladies pregnant it seemed she was very absorbent of any situation. His smart little moon really has no filter.
Hua cheng began to rub her back when she choked on her food a bit.
“Slow down my princess there is no rush.” Hua cheng said teasingly
Xie lian grabbed a napkin to get her teary face clean. His poor baby must have had to scarfed down food whenever she could in the streets and awful foster homes.
Xie lian whispered into s…Hua cheng ear.
“San lang, I wanted to ask if those foster agents are still outside.”
Hua chengs face seemed to stern into concentration. This man was so handsome no matter what face he made…fuck Xie lian wasn’t gonna make it past winter.
This man was so caring, calm and loving. He spoils their daughter and him and his grandmother…how can he not question San lang?
“Now that I think about it gege, I did see them out the window this morning but they seemed fine so no need to worry. They’re weak when I have evidence against them now.”
“Don’t hurt them to much okay San lang?”
San langs face scrunched in guilt but hesitated to agree with Xie lian.
“Fine gege…as long as my angel doesn’t mind me beating them up just a little.”
San lang gave him a pouty face with his big obsidian eye. Shinning brightly with some sort of evil pity face.
Xie lian chuckled and just pet his husband’s head.
“Go ahead just don’t ruff them up to bad.”
“Promise gege :)”
Hua cheng gave his angel a kiss on his cheek then continued there domestic moment eating breakfast.
Latter that day Xie lian was sitting on a plush chair with a kids math book, teaching there daughter basic math. He was lucky he was a teacher so he can take his time with his little moon.
The library was so cozy as well with plush chairs and a large selection of books each way. The fire place was also a nice feeing on his skin as well.
His daughter looked very comfortable while writing on her printed math test. Even sticking out her pink little tongue while thinking. How adorable! He just wants to smother her and spoil her!!
Xie lian controlled him self and began to teach her through some small lessons to get her into it.
Hua cheng watched from above seeing his family work. He left a silver bat in his stead to keep an eye on them. Walking down the corridor he contemplated his options.
With a knock he entered a room where yin yu was sat writing a few things out.
Yin yu gotten up and bowed his head.
Yin yu : your highness, miss Xie has been put to bed rest. The doctors report her as healthy and no issues.
“Hah, to think the old bitch could lie to her grandchild like that.”
Hua cheng walked to the chair as he dismissed yin yu’s bow.
“What a witchy bitchy cunt indeed, yin yu her husbands information is here isn’t it?”
He said with mirth lacing in his voice
Yin yu : yes your highness, he was a painter but the man him self had no past records of such, so we only know he came from china.
Hua cheng crosses his leg, took a sip of his wine, then slowly raged on inside.
“Hmm…” he set the glass down, looking straight into that devil mask of his servant with stern conviction.
“Inform black water, it seems that fucking old skeleton decided to fuck with my angel.”
Yin yu gotten up and bowed. He made quick work with the letter running out the room to inform his other highness.
Hua cheng sleeked back his hair holding it there till the headache went away. There wasn’t any signs yet, but to FUCK into a family he killed hahaHAHAHAHA!! What a fucking new low for that shit bag!
Hua cheng is a very smart man so he’ll take precautions to protect his family at any cost. Even if that meant to test his angel since it was now more than him he needed to keep safe.
Night came with a candlelight dinner, Xie lian was surprised at the arrangement. They just finished tucking Banyue in to bed as well after going over her good scores. Banyue got to eat since food was delivered to the library, but it seemed Hua cheng knew Xie lian himself didn’t take one bite.
When they sat the room held a tiny bit of tension. Of course the man still flirted like nothing to Xie lian making his cheeks as red as the napkins. Then venerability came from San langs voice.
“Gege, I wanted to ask if you had any dreams these past nights.”
Xie lian swallowed down the dumpling with a nod of his head he explained his one weird vivid dream.
“I had one painful detailed dream…where above me a white figure stood above me as I died. I even heard a scream but it wasn’t mine then poof I’m awake.”
Hua cheng put down his utensils, then held Xie lians hands.
“I’m sorry gege had such a horrible dream like that.” He rubbed circles on Xie lians palm looking down at those hard working hands.
“Gege…do those dreams scare you, to want to leave the castle?”
Xie lian looked horrified at the prospect of what he said.
“No! no! San lang I enjoy it here, a few spooky dreams aren’t gonna scare me off. Besides I have a daughter to take care of.”
Hua cheng swallowed hard with a smile.
“Gege…I know I’ve asked you to tell me when you fell uncomfortably with the contract rules, …and I think this goes far beyond those rules.”
Hua cheng cupped Xie lians cheek and stared into his angels eyes. Xie lian looked away with tense shoulders.
“Does San lang want to terminate our contract?”
Hua cheng now was silent, he just leaned over to kiss Xie lians four head.
“Will gege go out with this lowly one?”
Xie lian hugged the man in answer! Xie lian shoulders loosen as he was simply to happy! They both hug for a long time. Staying in each other’s presence felt like an explosion of sympathy’s.
“San lang you truly are so amazing. How did I end up so lucky.”
“I should ask the same.”
Hua cheng lifted Xie lian up into his arms, complaints made to be put down snuffed with laughter and kisses. Walking down the hall, the door to the main room closed with love and joy being heard from outside.

Ms Xie creeped out from behind the long banner hanged on the wall.
Truly a monster belonged with a curse, she’ll keep playing coy for now. Her husband was right about the future. When she gave birth to her son, of course she took the downfall and blame. She stood against it all only for her son to leave her.
When the curse was born she knew her son would kill the newborn before the monster could be dead. That child was abused by his parents, but of course she never stoped it from continuing, but only gave him false hope to the cursed child.
What’s the fucking point in this village decades suffering! That child ruined them and her reputation, she use to be valued as a golden woman. Her family past still lingered, but she was still accepted into the village.
Men fond over her, women jealous, truly she was the talk of town. When she her self found out more of her family history she became indifferent…maybe even hopeful once that it wouldn’t drag her down to shame. damned to give birth to a curse…Her family was a sham.
That angel giving them an adopted child was the worst fate of all. Fear still lingered in her heart when she thought of that fucking story.
What does it matter to her, she’s old now…she hated her life to a tea. Might as well cary out her husband’s last wishes.
