Hello hello!

[Chirped quite cheerfully for someone who's probably still melting, because it's hot. Why is it still so hot?]

I've got something I need help with and perhaps there's someone here who'd be willing to help? You see I've been tracking a few different beautiful birds out in the woods for a while now and I was hoping to catch one, but I've nothing to keep it in.

[But why not let the beautiful birds stay out in the woods you may ask? Look he just wants a pretty bird as a pet.]

If there's anyone with the skills or means to build a cage I'd be very thankful.

[Yanli is doing so well with this silly little phone thing! He's pleased to hear she finds them as pretty as he does, her little 'oohs' more than enough to make that obvious.]

I can't say I've ever thought of a duck as a pet... but maybe it could work? They already seem to flock around your cabin anyway.

[Though...]

Jiang-xiong might not agree though, but you have to do something nice for yourself too. If that doesn't work out I'd be happy to help you find a pretty little song bird, Jiang-guniang!

[soups]

A songbird would actually be very nice, if I don't simply settle on all the ducks running around.

❰ this is certainly interesting in how it ties together, because ❱

A-Cheng is so annoyed with them. The ducks. I don't mind them, and like them...it's good to have a source of food nearby, anyway.

I'll have to bring your house roast duck the next time we have it.

[porndealer]

Jiang-xiong is annoyed with everything though, isn't he?

[Let's be real, Yanli. The ducks could be mute and he'd still hate them.]

Ah, I'm sorry I shouldn't speak so rudely of him to you. I'm sure he has his reasons, but Jiang-guniang has the right idea! Befriend the ducks and make delicious food when needed.

[And here Jiang Cheng had been worried such a thing would upset his sister. Duck murder. Granted she didn't want to kill all of them...]

[soups]

❰ it's okay, she...knows. she knows. ❱

I know you don't dislike my brother, so it's fine. It isn't an untrue statement at times. ❰ he wakes up annoyed, goes to sleep annoyed, etc. ❱ I think he'd get along with them, and everyone, more if he had an adjusted attitude at times...but I also don't think he would be A-Cheng if he wasn't grumpy a good portion of the day.

[porndealer]

[At least she knows. If anything she knows best.]

It's just such a shame that he doesn't smile at all! Or maybe he only does around you. [His tone is light, but a obviously a little teasing as he continues.]

Between Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng I don't know what to do with them! If they both smiled even a little they could rival Lan Xichen as the most handsome cultivator!

[A little sigh.]

Maybe Jiang-xiong just needs someone special in his life to make him smile.

[soups]

❰ yanli pauses and sighs wistfully. in truth, she doesn't get to see her youngest brother smile so much, either. he wishes he would more, and that life could be more gentle to him to make it possible. but these are not feelings to trouble nie huaisang with.

talking about lan wangji and her brother's love life however, isn't off the table. ❱

I feel as though Hanguang Jun has smiled before, perhaps just where we can't see it...now if only I could find someone for A-Cheng to act similarly about.

[porndealer]

[Find someone for Jiang Cheng, huh?]

Oh, oh! We could! I remember what Wei-xiong said about what Jiang-xiong likes: [He clears his throat.] Naturally beautiful, graceful and obedient! Hard-working and thrifty, come from a respected family, cultivation level not too high. Personality not too strong, not too talkative and voice not too loud.

... I think that was all of it.

[Wait so... Yanli. Jiang Cheng wants a nice girl who's like his sister.]

[soups]

❰ the list makes yanli smile with each trait being ticked off. goodness...her brother is so simple for being such a complicated man. ❱

I don't think I know anyone like that off the top of my head...but also what my brother wants may not be what is actually best for him. A stronger personality and power might pair well with him, you know? A union of equals!

[porndealer]

[Yanli, bless you. Just bless.]

So right! Such a bullheaded man needs an equally stubborn and steadfast partner. Someone who can challenge him on his level in some ways.

He may not see that as a good thing, but if you think so it must be best for him. Sister knows best.

[soups]

Perhaps it's all just wishful thinking. I don't think my brother is at all relationship-minded. It's his right...but it's certainly fun to think about.

Still, I do keep my eyes open...

❰ always looking for someone...not for herself, but for the unclaimed sibling she has. ❱

[porndealer]

Maybe not right now it's not the most important for him, after all he is working hard to rebuild Jiang sect back to the glory it was before. That's a lot to focus on, surely a relationship would be better once that has been handled.

... but it doesn't hurt to keep an eye out for that time. Even here where we are now, it could help him to have someone to um- [He clears his throat.] Well, I just think it could be good for him to relax with someone like minded as him.

[Huaisang is not going to straight up say to Jiang Cheng's sister that he should fuck. But let's be real. Jiang Cheng should fuck.]

[soups]

❰ get yanli drunk, she'll basically say as such herself. ❱

I do think that would be nice. For him to have some companionship in a place like this. Even if it's not so serious, to have a person uninvolved to lean on would do him good.

[porndealer]

[... noted.]

Admittedly I have tried a little to let him lean if he wants, but so so stubborn. I barely check any of Jiang-xiong's list, I suppose we'll never be in-laws.

[He jokes, knowing for a fact that Jiang Cheng would never. He is so far removed from anything the young sect leader would ever bat his eyes at. That's fine, Huaisang isn't bothered by it. They'll find him someone.

There has to be somebody out there who can tame this stubborn bull of a man.]

[soups]

❰ that makes yanli laugh, please don't take that the wrong way. if that were to happen, it certainly wouldn't be the worst thing, but she's also sure it would be a fantasy. ❱

I would enjoy it, but alas. The time will come when we'll see the perfect person, however, and we'll have to hope A-Cheng feels the same way.

[porndealer]

Jiang-guniang I'm blessed you'd approve of it.

[They've gotta enjoy the absurdity of it.]

I think the hardest part would be getting Jiang Cheng to allow himself to feel that way.
