Summary
At this point, the wise thing for Hua Cheng to do was to leave this curious experimentation and make his haste back to the manor.
Against all odds, he followed the ghost fire instead.
[or: in which the weak little ghost fire flickering in the rain turned out to be the beloved Hua Cheng was searching for all along]

Summary
Xie Lian huffs a laugh. “San Lang, there’s nothing I’d never want to tell you! Why I like chestnuts… it’s a boring story, but you always listen to me talk, and I’m grateful–”
“It’s not boring,” San Lang cuts in. He rarely interrupts when Xie Lian is talking, but this time he does, emphasising: “Gege, if it’s you, I promise nothing is boring.” He stares at Xie Lian with a serious look in his eye, drilling the message into him. “I could listen to you talk and talk for hours, for days. About the weather, about the ground, the leaves; nothing is ever boring when it comes to you. Dianxia, you don’t know how long I’ve longed to do just this – to have this.” He grabs Xie Lian’s hand in his, “I enjoy listening to you talk. So, please do.”

Summary
“Hmm…” Xie Lian hums, appraising the stranger. “Then, good Gege, you know about gods, but do you know about ghosts too?”
“Sure. Which ghost?”
Xie Lian replies, voice light and airy: “Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Hua Cheng.”
A ghost of a smile flickers as the other meets Xie Lian’s eyes and holds his gaze. He silently moves and Xie Lian does not flinch when his hand reaches out, simply observing as the man picks up a stray maple leaf that had found a place on Xie Lian’s shoulder. “I happen to think his spouse is more worthy of curiosity.” He blows the leaf away and shoots a wink, catching Xie Lian off guard. “What do you want to know? Ask away.”

Summary
“Gege, ah Gege… if you keep moving, your hair is going to end up the same way as the hairdo you gave me when we first met at Puqi Shrine,” Hua Cheng chides, a hand coming around to firmly but gently rest under his chin, tilting his face up. There is mirth dancing in his eye as he jokes, “Although Gege would look cute with a crooked ponytail.”
[or: in which Hua Cheng indulges in his 'Spoil Dianxia Agenda' by washing Xie Lian's hair, among other things]

Summary
Hua Cheng has taken to lounging on the side of their bed, still wearing just his sheer red inner robes from earlier. Looking right into Xie Lian’s eyes, he repeats, voice low and hushed, “Lian-er, Lian-er. My noble, gracious Lian-er.” If love were blood, his eye was a red river. San Lang gazes at him with such tender affection, Xie Lian cannot help but feel the weight of the moment.
He takes a sharp inhale.
“…Yes, beloved? Darling, dearest, my husband, one and only husband–”
[or: Hua Cheng cuts his sleeve for Xie Lian. Softness ensues. That's it, that's the fic.]
