Notes:

so for the HuaLian Kissmass series at the end of 2024, I wrote a fic called "gege, hold my hand now" inspired by Minsung. Now I know shiping idols is bad. But this is fiction. THIS IS HUALIAN. And you are allowed to ship them as idols.

I have not done anything in this format before but I know that there have been fics written in this format, so I have tried my hand at this for the first time. My beta (bless my beta I would be lost without them) approved and so here It is!!

before i let you read, both english and chinese are not my first languages, so I am bound to mess up. If I do, please let me know? Thank you !!!

happy reading!

“Hold My Hand”: XI4NLE’S HUALIAN SET THE STAGE ON FIRE 

Hold onto your seats, because we’re about to drop the most explosive music industry gossip of the year! If you’re not already totally captivated by Xi4nle—the insanely talented four-member group from Xian Jing Entertainment that’s been absolutely dominating the charts and stage for what feels like an eternity—then honestly, where have you been? It’s time to stop sleeping on the hottest group in the game right now. But wait—what we’ve got for you today is way juicier than the usual fan theories or backstage drama you’re used to. This isn’t just gossip; this is the scoop that’s going to have you questioning everything you thought you knew about these two icons.

So here it is: Xie Lian, known to the world as the irresistible Taizi Dianxia, and Hua Cheng—aka Fafa for his most dedicated fans? They’re officially an item. That’s right, the chemistry we’ve all been speculating about? It’s real, and we’ve got the full inside story of how this heart-stopping romance blossomed right under our noses. Trust us, you’re going to need those tissues, because the twists and turns of their epic love story are nothing short of gut-wrenching. Keep reading, because what we’re about to share will make you fall in love all over again—and maybe even break your heart a little bit.

WHO ARE THE MEMBERS OF XI4NLE? 

Before we dive into the hottest tea, let’s take a moment to break down the Xi4nle lineup because, let’s face it, the gossip is only better when you know the players involved. Plus, their animal personas are too adorable and spot-on when it comes to their personalities. (Seriously, it’s practically a Music Industry law that idols have to have an animal vibe going on, right?)

Xie Lian (Lead Vocalist)

  • Position: Leader & Main Vocalist
  • Animal Persona: Ferret—think small, fast, mischievous, and with a level of charm that could make you forget your own name. "Taizi Dianxia" isn’t just a title, folks—it’s a statement. Xie Lian exudes that energy: charismatic, commanding, and always the center of attention. A born leader, his confidence is contagious, and his stage presence? Absolutely magnetic.
  • Fun Fact: Xie Lian once shocked the entire industry when he dressed in drag as a background dancer for Hua Cheng’s solo performance of “The State of You.” Let’s just say it was a showstopper that no one saw coming—Xie Lian’s got a bit of a rebellious streak, and it totally works for him.
  • Personality: Loud, fun, and completely unafraid to be himself, Xie Lian has a knack for making everyone around him laugh (and question their life choices). But behind that bold persona is a surprisingly caring leader, especially when it comes to his younger members. He might be the life of the party, but he’s got a heart of gold.

Hua Cheng (The Rapper)

  • Position: Main Rapper & Lyricist
  • Animal Persona: Fox—sly, mysterious, and irresistibly attractive (we’re talking unbothered sexy vibes). Standing tall at 6’3”, Hua Cheng is a literal walking heartthrob, with a swagger that makes even the most seasoned fans weak in the knees. But don’t let that cool exterior fool you—there’s a side to him that’s soft, caring, and reserved only for a select few… one of whom just happens to be his Gege, Xie Lian.
  • Fun Fact: Hua Cheng is the mastermind behind some of Xi4nle’s biggest hits, including “3000 Idols” and “Devoted.” If you listen closely to the lyrics, you’ll notice something interesting: some of those lyrics are clearly about Xie Lian. We see you, Fafa—you’re not fooling anyone.
  • Personality: Cool, mysterious, and with that classic “I’m too hot to care” vibe, Hua Cheng exudes an effortless charisma. But underneath the surface, he’s deeply loyal and protective, especially when it comes to Xie Lian. Their bond goes far beyond just the stage; it’s real, raw, and absolutely unbreakable.

Mu Qing (The Dancer)

  • Position: Lead Dancer & Vocalist
  • Animal Persona: Cat—if there was an animal for “mysterious and grumpy,” it would definitely be Mu Qing. Imagine the type of cat that gives side-eye like it’s an Olympic sport—yeah, that’s him. Quiet, aloof, and somehow managing to look effortlessly chic no matter the situation. When Mu Qing speaks, it’s always worth listening.
  • Fun Fact: Don’t let his cold exterior fool you—Mu Qing has a surprisingly dry sense of humor. He’s usually the first one to call out Xie Lian’s ridiculous antics (which, let’s be honest, happen a lot).
  • Personality: He might have that “I’m too cool for you” attitude, but underneath, Mu Qing’s a softie at heart. He’s the kind of guy who will silently pick up your phone when you drop it and pretend he didn’t see that embarrassing text to your mom. He’s got a heart, even if he doesn’t show it often.

Feng Xin (The Visual)

  • Position: Rapper & Visual
  • Animal Persona: God—yes, you read that right. Feng Xin has the kind of beauty that makes you wonder if he’s somehow descended from the heavens themselves. His looks? Divine. His aura? Absolutely celestial. But don’t get it twisted—he’s also the group’s emotional rock, and honestly, he’s the one who helped push Hua Cheng to finally confess his feelings for Xie Lian.
  • Fun Fact: Despite his godly appearance, Feng Xin is the absolute softie of the group. If you’re feeling down, he’s the guy you want by your side. He’s the type to bring you an extra bottle of water during practice or comfort you after a rough day. Feng Xin’s got the looks, the heart, and the skills to make you swoon.

Now that you’re all caught up on who’s who in Xi4nle, stay tuned—because the real story is just getting started.

THE LOVE STORY: HUALIAN—CONFESSIONS, CRUSHES, AND KISS-GOALS

Alright, buckle up because we’re about to spill the real tea, and trust me, it’s piping hot—so hot you might need a cold drink afterward. Let’s dive into Xi4nle , the industry group that’s been ruling hearts, airwaves, and social media for a solid 8 years now. Known for their electrifying performances, chart-topping tracks, and, let’s be honest, irresistible chemistry between every single member, Xi4nle is the epitome of K-pop perfection. But guess what? There’s a juicy twist you didn’t see coming. Forget the stage— Hua Cheng and Xie Lian ? They’ve been lowkey pining for each other this entire time, and now the secret’s out in the open. Yes, you read that right.

Let’s rewind the clock a little bit, shall we? Back when Hua Cheng was just a 15-year-old newbie in the trainee system, he was already starting to catch eyes with his fierce rap and enigmatic presence. But who was the one person who completely mesmerized him? Xie Lian. Oh, Xie Lian —the dazzling, charismatic leader of Xi4nle who could light up an entire room just by walking into it. That kind of leader. The one with the unstoppable energy, the one whose every move seemed to be destined for greatness. For Hua Cheng, it was more than just admiration—it was that feeling you get when your heart skips a beat without warning. Those stolen glances when you can’t quite look away, even though you know the person you’re staring at is completely out of your league.

But back then, Hua Cheng was just a kid, a rising star in the making. And Xie Lian? He was the leader . Untouchable, perfect, the epitome of cool. Everyone looked up to him, worshipped him, followed his every move. Hua Cheng didn’t think for a second that someone like Xie Lian could ever look at him the way he looked at him. In his mind, he was the young, hotshot rapper in the background while Xie Lian was the heart and soul of Xi4nle. End of story.

Fast-forward 8 years, and things have definitely changed. Xi4nle isn’t just a hit in Korea—they’ve conquered global stages. Their music is everywhere, their fanbase is massive, and their bond? Stronger than ever. But behind closed doors? Well, that’s where the real story begins. Turns out, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian have both been feeling something that they’ve kept hidden for years. And this time? They’re ready to let it all out. The group’s anniversary is coming up, and it’s a big one—every member’s releasing a solo track to celebrate the occasion. But here’s where things get really interesting: Hua Cheng’s solo track.

If you thought his performances were electric before, this solo? It’s on another level. We’re talking raw intensity, passion that you can almost feel vibrating through your screen. The rap is so full of emotion, it hits harder than anything you’ve ever heard before. The lyrics? Well, let’s just say they leave nothing to the imagination. Hua Cheng has gone all in on this one, and it’s clear as day to anyone listening—this track is all about Xie Lian . From the way Hua Cheng describes being guided by someone who’s always been there for him to the subtle (okay, let’s be real, not-so-subtle ) lines about wanting to be close to that person, protect them, love them... it’s a confession. And it’s all in the lyrics.

But here’s where the plot thickens: Xie Lian is listening. And guess what? He’s feeling the exact same way. Yep, you read that right—Xie Lian, the untouchable, unshakable leader, has secretly been harboring feelings for Hua Cheng this whole time. So why didn’t he do anything about it? Simple: He’s the leader . He has a role to play, an image to uphold. He’s supposed to be flawless, the rock that holds the group together. Plus, Xie Lian never thought someone like Hua Cheng would see him the way he sees him. Hua Cheng is the wild, passionate, unpredictable force of nature with that fox-like charm that drives everyone crazy, while Xie Lian is calm, composed, and stoic. They couldn’t be more different—right?

Well, that’s where Xie Lian was wrong. He was so caught up in his own insecurities, his worries about how things might look, that he never took the first step. But guess what? Hua Cheng? He’s done waiting. He’s ready to let the world—and Xie Lian—know exactly how he feels.

And what happens next? Oh, honey, this is where it gets spicy . In the middle of all the solo performances and the hype surrounding the group’s big comeback, Hua Cheng doesn’t just drop a fire track. Oh no, he drops a bombshell —one that no one saw coming. And when I say bombshell , I mean explosive . Because what Hua Cheng reveals? It’s not just about music anymore—it’s about love.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss what happens next. The tea has just been served, and it’s steaming hot .

FOX MEETS FERRET, AND EVERYTHING CHANGES

The day of the big comeback stage arrives, and the energy is electric . The anticipation is almost suffocating, hanging in the air like a charged storm waiting to break. Fans are packed in the arena, their eyes wide with excitement, every single one of them waiting for the magic to unfold. The lights are blinding, the music thumping through the speakers, and Hua Cheng? He’s about to take the stage and drop his solo track, ready to set the world on fire.

As soon as Hua Cheng steps onto the stage, it’s like a hurricane just hit. The crowd is immediately mesmerized. His rap? It’s perfection —sharp, fierce, yet smooth like liquid gold. He’s got the audience in the palm of his hand. But here’s where things take a huge turn. His eyes. His eyes are locked on one person, and one person only: Xie Lian. That’s right. Xie Lian. And it’s not just some casual “hey, I’m performing” glance. No. This? This is a stare that burns with a deep, consuming energy. Hua Cheng isn’t just singing his solo; he’s pouring every ounce of his soul into this moment, and the message? It’s loud and clear. Xie Lian is the center of everything. He’s the one.

And don’t think the fans aren’t picking up on it. The connection between them is electric—hotter than the stage lights themselves. The energy crackles in the air, undeniable, palpable. It’s like the world stops, just for a moment, and all eyes are on Hua Cheng and Xie Lian. You can feel the weight of it. The unspoken bond. The love that’s been simmering for years, now finally laid bare for everyone to witness.

When the song ends, the crowd is devouring every second of it. Hua Cheng’s heart is pounding, the adrenaline coursing through him—but the performance is only half the story. Because backstage? That’s where the real fireworks are about to go off.

Hua Cheng grabs Xie Lian, pulling him away from the chaos, away from the flashing cameras, the screaming fans, and the dizzying frenzy of it all. There’s a tension between them now, thick enough to cut with a knife, the kind of tension that could melt ice if you left it in the room long enough. They’re alone now, just the two of them, and Hua Cheng’s heart is racing with anticipation.

Then, in a moment that fans have been dying to see, Hua Cheng finally opens up. The words spill out in a rush, like a dam breaking: “I... I’ve been in love with you, Gege. I always have been.”

The confession hits like a bombshell. Xie Lian freezes, his mind instantly going into overdrive. His breath catches in his throat. His chest tightens as the weight of Hua Cheng’s words crashes into him. How had he not seen it? How had he not known, all these years, that Hua Cheng had been harboring this quiet, burning love for him? The look in Hua Cheng’s eyes isn’t just lust or admiration—it’s something deeper, rawer, more vulnerable. It cuts through Xie Lian like a knife, straight to the heart.

And the best part? Xie Lian doesn’t need any more words. Not a single one. Without hesitation, he pulls Hua Cheng into him, closing the distance between them in a way that feels almost like the world is holding its breath. And then— bam —the kiss. It’s not some cute peck or a shy brush of lips. No. This is the kiss. Raw. Intense. All-consuming. The kind of kiss that could burn down the world. The kind of kiss that sends shockwaves through their bodies, igniting every single spark that’s been quietly simmering under the surface for years. It’s a confession. A promise. A release of everything they’ve both been holding back.

And you better believe the fans are freaking out . Phones light up like fireworks, social media goes into overdrive, and the world is watching as the kiss that will define this moment in Xi4nle’s history unfolds right before their eyes. Behind them, the flashes of cameras continue, capturing the magic, the passion, the raw energy of it all. Some of the other members are standing by, eyes wide with shock, awe, and yes—laughter. But let’s be real: none of this is a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention. The chemistry between Hua Cheng and Xie Lian? It’s been obvious for years. Their bond has always been undeniable. Always there, hidden in the subtext of their interactions.

This kiss? This was inevitable .

THE AFTERMATH 

So, what happens next? Let’s just say the world is losing it . Fans are absolutely living for the drama. Social media is blowing up in ways that no one could’ve predicted—posts, memes, hashtags all flooding the internet. #XieLianAndHuaCheng, #HuaLian and #HuaLianInventedLove is trending worldwide, and every corner of the internet is buzzing with excitement. Articles are being written faster than anyone can keep up, some of them gushing about the long-awaited confession, others speculating on what's next for the two. And let’s be real— the ship ? It’s officially set sail, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have gone from the "will they, won’t they" mystery to the power couple of the century.

Now, as for the rest of the Xi4nle members? Well, let’s just say they’ve got their own reactions. Mu Qing, the sharp-tongued cat of the group, is throwing side-eye like nobody’s business. With a smirk that could rival any sarcastic villain, he casually remarks, “Finally. I saw this coming from a mile away.” Meanwhile, Feng Xin, the stoic God, is giving off nothing but blessing vibes . His arms are crossed, but there’s an undeniable softness in his gaze, as if he’s happy for the pair. It’s clear to everyone that they’re not just a group anymore—they’re family. And this moment? This is just the beginning of something much bigger.

But let’s not forget the music. Oh, and did we mention their new album is dropping? That’s right, folks. It’s coming, and it’s going to be nothing short of epic . The fans are already losing it with anticipation. We’re talking about tracks that are definitely inspired by Xie Lian and Hua Cheng’s undeniable chemistry—songs dripping with passion, romance, and just the right amount of angst. The album promises to deliver everything fans have been waiting for: the highs, the lows, the fire, the emotion, the heat—and then some. Expect tracks that make you want to scream, dance, cry, and fall in love all over again. If this album is anything like their love story, it’s going to be a masterpiece .

And as for this love story? Oh, it’s just beginning . What we’ve seen so far? That’s just the tip of the iceberg. This is no fleeting romance or short-lived phase. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng are about to set the world on fire in ways no one could have predicted. The energy, the passion, the undeniable pull between them—it’s just getting started. And as for the rest of the world? Get ready. Because the new it couple of the century has officially arrived.

Xi4nle’s Xie Lian and Hua Cheng aren’t just breaking hearts—they’re about to break records and take the entire music industry by storm. They’re not just a power couple. They’re the heartbeat of the next big wave in music, the duo everyone is going to be talking about for years to come. You heard it here first—mark our words, this is only the beginning of something huge .
