Modern AU WKX getting increasingly incredulous as the household chores that ZZS didn't know how to do were revealed one by one.
WKX, staring at ZZS: ...This ancestor does not know how to iron clothes?
ZZS, poking WKX's chest threateningly: And *this* ancestor does?
WKX: ...........I do.
ZZS: Lao Wen, I want a sunny-side up.
WKX: Sure. Chengling bought some eggs yesterday.
ZZS, turning to look WKX dead in the eye:
WKX:
ZZS:
WKX: You don’t know how to fry an egg, do you.
Very early on, WKX legit thought ZZS was sick from bad nutrition, because the first time he came over at ZCL's behest, he opened the fridge and the kitchen cupboards only to find takeaway leftovers, instant noodles, and juice cartons.
The household didn't even have SALT.
ZZS: IDK what you're yapping about, Lao Wen. Food is food.
WKX: ...No, no, it isn't -makes GX send ZZS a screenshot of their immaculately stocked fridge and pantry at home-
WKX: I'm the gaming streamer here. Why are you the one with the stereotypical streamer's diet?
WKX: Oh, thank the heavens, the great Lord Zhou at least owns rice.
WKX, 3 min. later: …Where’s the rice cooker?
ZCL: Wen-shu, the rice… Zhou-shu bought it because I dropped my phone in the toilet once and—
WKX, holding his hand up: …I need a moment.
ZZS: IDK why you’re complaining. I cracked the eggs as you asked me!
WKX: Did you know the shells aren’t supposed to go in the eggs?
ZZS: What’s the harm of a few shards? Don’t the shells contain sodium carbonate? It’s good for ZCL.
WKX, fishing out half a shell: Calcium.
ZCL: …Wen-shu, we’re not going to use these eggs, are we…?
WKX: Of course not. They’re not usable in this state.
ZCL: Oh, phew.
WKX, handing ZCL a pair of chopsticks: So you’re going to pick all of the eggshell bits out of them.
WKX, watching ZZS read the instruction on the side of a cup noodle:
ZZS:
WKX, watching ZZS stare at the electric kettle:
ZZS:
WKX, watching ZZS accidentally open the lid of the kettle instead of switching it on:
ZZS:
ZZS, to WKX: *What*?
WKX: Fascinating.

ZZS draping his robe over a sleeping ZCL, followed by WKX draping his robe over a sleeping ZZS, send tweet.
Even though Mount Changming was months behind them, ZZS still occasionally found himself wide awake at midnight. His body was expecting a pain that never came. Instead, there was the warm weight of WKX’s robe securely wrapped around him, belted by WKX’s arms around his waist.
Sensing ZZS’s movements, WKX shifted in his sleep, but his grip on ZZS did not lessen one bit. ZZS nudged him, with a none-too-gentle elbow. “Lao Wen, let go.”
Contrary even in sleep, WKX buried his face into the crook of ZZS’s shoulder. His warm breath tickled, -
WKX carrying ZZS in his arms at every opportunity during and after the Mt. Changming interlude. At first, it was because ZZS’s body was still too feeble. Then ZZS started complaining that he was no longer an invalid. When WKX picked him up while they were walking back to the inn,
ZZS swore at him and ZCL politely averted his eyes.
“Stop squirming so much, Lord Zhou,” WKX said lightly. His grip on ZZS remained tight. “Otherwise, I might drop you.”
“Wen Kexing, we’re in public,” ZZS hissed as they headed closer towards the main street. “*Drop* me.”
ZZS discreetly jammed his elbow into WKX’s ribs, but the man didn’t even flinch, much less loosen his grip. Seemingly, he was turning a deaf ear to ZZS, face as placid as a Buddha statue.
Left with no choice, ZZS closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious,
I’m staring at the words “Helian Yi” in front of “Jin Wang” and considering whether doing this meme will be against my conscience or not.
According to tests, I am E/INTP, with a pretty even mix of E and I… The fact that I got Gu Yun says A Lot because he’s the danmei character I relate to the most. In short: clowns.
