    Summary

    “...guess how many have lived for me?”

    “A'Xu—”

    “Guess.”

    “I don’t know. Lots, no doubt.”

    This time Zhou Zishu laughs out loud, bright and brittle as the creeping light. “I wonder who you think they were,” he says bitterly, “these people who’ve lived for me.”

    “Is there a point to this, A’Xu?” Wen Kexing asks, wondering whether he’s been unconscious long enough for his love to have gone mad. His own hands show no signs of aging, but then, the gut-punch of qi that brought him back to himself could well account for that.

    Zhou Zishu's eyes are burning again when he meets them. “None.”

    Wen Kexing blinks. “No point?”

    Zhou Zishu sighs. “No people, you idiot! So many men have died on my order, Lao Wen. Some, even, specifically to save my life. But no one has ever lived for me.” His voice softens. “Not even you.”

    Part 2 of "Cairn Prince" - which is to say, a rumination on what happened to wenzhou in between drama episodes 36 and 37. They have some shit to deal with, but they end up happily ever after. :)
