    Summary

    Turning to look at the black sky, he let his mind wander to a place he tried not to visit too often. To the last words Guan Shan heard He Tian say in that dim corridor.

    « I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I love you, I’ll fix it, I’m sorry. »

    Like a mantra.

    or a rewrite of their reunion a few years after high school, basically disregarding the Christmas chapters. Side of ZhengYi, angsty but with a healthy dose of fluff, tags will be updated as the story goes.

    Summary

    He was a bad person for enjoying this deep down, right?

    For the first time in a long time, he fell sick.

    But for the first time in an even longer time, he had someone to take care of him.

    It was nice, to be taken care of like this, nevertheless by someone who his feelings for ran so deep it made his bones ache.

    OR

    Hua Cheng gets really sick. Xie Lian gets really worried. Hua Cheng gets taken care of, and feelings ensue.

    Summary

    Xie Lian hunts ghosts for the amusement of the internet, has a run-in (or two) with a demon, and falls in love with his best friend. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “Mu Qing,” Xie Lian says carefully, treading like Mu Qing’s a startled cat that might spook. “Feng Xin told me he already confessed. And that you rejected him.”

    Mu Qing blinks. Checks that he’s still retained his grasp on English. Then finally lets it sink in. “I WHAT?”

    Or: Mu Qing is 21, a double major in computer science and fashion, and hopelessly in unrequited love with his best friend-slash-acquaintance-slash-rival-slash-former enemy. If only Feng Xin would stop leading him on like this.

    Summary

    “I think we should break up.”

    Feng Xin timed it so that Mu Qing wasn’t eating or drinking but Mu Qing didn’t react beyond raising an eyebrow. “Break up?”

    “Uh, yeah, because...” How are you supposed to tell someone that you don’t think they’re happy anymore? That you're in love with them and that they only see you as a casual thing? Mu Qing was stressed and he never let Feng Xin meet his mom and he never moved in. Mu Qing hated when Feng Xin said I love you, actually; he’d get tense and change the subject. The one time Feng Xin had tried to talk about marriage, he’d said Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

    “Fine.”

    --

    Feng Xin and Mu Qing break up. Turns out they're not very good at staying apart.
