zichen | IC CONTACT

[ That makes him relax a little more. ]

He hates me, and he's manipulative so I wouldn't be surprised if he's planning something. He's shit at fighting though, so if it comes down to that he'll send someone else to do it.

Stay with me. Don't return to your cabin. [Zichen is suddenly on alert, his voice strict.] If someone tries to hurt you there, Fuxue will deal with them.

I'm not going anywhere. [ Song Lan being so protective makes Xue Yang feel warm all over. ] And I can still use Jiangzai in self-defense.

Yes, you can. [And he encourages it in this case.] I only ask that you don't attack him first. If he does anything against you, he will be the one at fault.

[ Xue Yang grumbles a little at that. ] ... Fine. [ He can't entirely promise, but he'll do his best. ]

Focus on us. [He coaxes, wanting to distract Xue Yang from thoughts of revenge.] It would hurt me to see you punished.

Okay... [ He's a little pacified by that as he doesn't want to hurt Song Lan. ] What are you doing right now?

Talking to my A-Yang. [Zichen smiles slowly, teasing him. Just a little.] What should I be doing?

[ He can hear the teasing in his voice! ]

You should come and keep me company. [ Needy. ]

If I must. [He chuckles lowly, amused.] Where are you?

[ Xue Yang sticks his tongue out even though Song Lan can't see it. ]

In our cabin.

[He senses it. Imp!]

I take it you are keeping our darlings company?

[ They're both napping on him. ]

Uh-huh. You know, they need names.

They do. [He is making his way to the cabin, cleaning up the last of his duties.] Any ideas? Our boy is very sweet and our girl is adventurous.

I have no idea. [ He laughs a little as he scratches the female kitten behind the ear. ] I've never had to name pets before.

Just a minute. [Zichen lets himself into the cabin and laughs, gathering the boy cat into his arms as he scampers over.] Mmm hello.

[He walks to Xue Yang and dips down, kissing him softly.]

We need something cute, but fitting.

[ Both cats are purring up a storm. Xue Yang grins and kisses Song Lan back, feeling warm at the pure... domesticity of the whole thing. ]

Mhm, we do.

[Zichen sits on the bed too, rubbing under the boy cat's chin.]

What about Muyang for this one? [It means "bathe in the sun".] Xiuying would fit her.

[That one means "brave and beautiful". Just like their little kitten.]

[ Xue Yang grins and nods as he leans into Song Lan. ] I like it.

Then we have little A-Yang and A-Ying. [He chuckles and welcomes Xue Yang with a longer kiss.] I hope you don't mind sharing your name with our boy?

[ Xue Yang chuckles. ] You gave our babies courtesy names! [ He lets out a pleased hum into the kiss. ] 'Course not. They're different characters anyway, right?

Why not? [Zichen smiles and nuzzles their noses together.] They are part of our family.

[He nods.] Mm they are. Your name refers to the ocean, I believe.

Mhm, it does.

[ He grins a little. ] Did you know that I have a courtesy name too? Jin Guangyao gave it to me when I was their guest disciple. Said it would be proper for me to have one, but he was the only one who ever called me by it. Chengmei. Stupid, right?

There are frightening things in the ocean, but I imagine it's beautiful.

[Much like Xue Yang. Zichen arches a brow and wrap an arm around his lover.]

Chengmei... [He frowns thoughtfully.] Adult beauty? I assume beauty in this case also refers to mannerisms.

[It's an odd choice.]

I wouldn't call it stupid. It feels...manipulative. Like he wanted you to become more like the name.

A-Yao told me it's derived from chéng rén zhī měi. Like I'm some sort of gentleman. It's basically a joke.

[ He leans into Song Lan's arms and leans up to kiss under his chin. ]

So, it is stupid.
