    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu jolts awake to the invasive feeling of an outsider's qi threading through his spiritual system.

    He doesn't jerk away.

    Before, he would've instantly pulled back.

    Before, he would've cursed and hissed as decades old panic threatened to overtake his rational mind.

    Before, he would've spit blood at the invasion of uninvited guests in his home, regardless of their intent.

    Now, though—in the after—Shen Qingqiu merely tenses up at being touched. He doesn't speak, doesn't yell, doesn't threaten. He doesn't do much of anything but force open his heavy eyes to warily evaluate the martial sibling at his bedside.

    ***

    Or: What if Shen Qingqiu wakes up from his fever as Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan?
