In Quiet Moments Such As This

Summary:

When the noise becomes irksome, she retreats to find a quiet place.

Notes:

This is just a short little piece that I wanted to write because I'm quietly fascinated by the bond between these two characters and how to best explore it through writing within the scope of the novel and its adaptations before everything went sideways in the mdzs canon world.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

When the buzzing activities of the Sect becomes truly irksome to her ears, Jiang Yanli wisely decides that the best course is to retreat and find a quieter location to relax within; the kitchen would likely be busy as well and while it was one of her favorite places to be, she didn’t want to be in there right now.

So, instead she makes her way to one of the farther away pavilions. She is unsurprised to find a-Xian meditating there, his red aura flaring gently outward as their instructors had taught them to do when pressing for progress within their cultivation growth of the Golden Cores. With a soft smile, she reaches down and gently brushes aside a wayward strand of hair before kneeling beside him and carefully resting her head against his shoulder.

He sighs, acknowledging her as his eyes remain gently closed. “Shijie.”

She enjoys the little moments like this one, no matter how hard to come by they are in their day to day life.

Notes:

Thank you for reading and stay safe!! <3 <3
