    Summary

    Fu Gu was a town, settled in the cradle of mountain ranges, shadowed by the peaks to the north and south. Covered in dense fog nearly all the time, the residents lived in a place without sunlight. Without brightness. Without warmth. The only exit from town was a long, winding single-lane road that sunk down through the mountains, and theoretically met up with the highway. There were folk legends of people driving it for days and somehow turning around to end up back in the town square. There was a saying in Fu Gu, elders liked to tell it to ambitious youths: born in Fu Gu, you’ll never escape, or the demons will drag you back home.

    Summary

    There's someone on the bridge, staring up at the cloudless night sky. The full moon’s silvery rays catch on the other man’s earrings, setting them alight as they sway with Qing Xuan’s heartbeat. It feels rather pensive, the way the black-clad man makes no move to acknowledge his existence.

    Stepping forward, he introduces himself. "I'm Shi Qing Xuan, the Wind Master. What's your name?"

    Or; Shi Qing Xuan meets a fellow heavenly official named He Xuan.

    Summary

    “Oh, that’s He Xuan. He’s a regular.” 

    They’re on their break. Shi Qingxuan sips his coke through a straw, a small bag of chips open in his lap. The break room had been so crowded, so they’re sitting in the bath section, tucked near the back where the cheapest tub options are displayed. Shi Qingxuan sits atop a faux-marble countertop, and Xie Lian is sinking relaxedly into the boxy bathtub. His phone is in front of his face, a twizzler dangling from his lips. 

    “At first, I thought he was gonna hit me for telling him we couldn’t do the refund.” 

    Xie Lian snorts, good-naturedly. “He Xuan is as harmless as a butterfly.” He bites off a piece of the twizzler, then takes the rest from his mouth, spinning it between his thumb and forefinger. “He’s just a little...eccentric.” Shi Qingxuan thinks that’s a charitable opinion, but he doesn’t say so. Xie Lian slides his phone into the pocket of the gaudy orange apron that’s a part of their uniforms. “Anyway, manager says we should give him refunds when he wants them. No matter what state he’s bringing things back in.” 

    “Why?” Shi Qingxuan asks, baffled. 

    Biting off another piece of candy, Xie Lian shrugs. “Maybe she’s got a soft spot for him, I dunno.”
