jealous kiss fic meme fill from discord, for @completelycumberlocked. thanks dihua server for helping me figure out how the heck to make llh jealous LOL.

hulijing, the little traitor, is sitting with her chin on di feisheng's knee, tail wagging as she looks up at him adoringly. di feisheng, for his part, is stroking her ears and smiling more gently than li lianhua has ever seen. it's sort of unfair. li lianhua clears his throat and, other than a twitch of one of hulijing's ears, is summarily ignored by both of them. how rude!

Di Feisheng lets down Li Lianhua's hair with the practiced ease of familiarity, running his fingers through it a couple times before retrieving the comb from the vanity. "What do you do to get it so tangled," he murmurs, working through the knots at the bottom first, "All you do is water plants and lay in the sun." It's not a question that needs an answer and Li Lianhua simply hums in response, letting Di Feisheng tilt his head this way and that as he combs through his hair.

“整个《莲花楼》大家只是在一个悬疑探案的，这样一个故事情节的大的框架里面，但更多地写的就是这些角色身上的爱恨情仇。我觉得这些是更重要的一点。因为现在的现实世界，没有更多能够感受得到武侠里面的那些情感。但我们反而可以从影视作品中，我们可以从故事里面，从角色身上体会到这种感觉。”

"In Mysterious Lotus Casebook, everyone is wrapped up in this overarching plot of suspense and mystery, but it's also about these characters and the love, hate, and sentiments they bear. I think all of that is a little more important. Because in today's real world, we don't have as many opportunities to feel the emotions we find within wuxia. But instead, we can experience them through film and television, through stories, through putting ourselves in the places of these characters." — Xiao Shunyao

“每个时代的侠都是不一样的，每个人都可以成为侠者。你包括出去，看到有一个老奶奶突然过马路，你去扶她一下，这都是侠。怎么说，就是江湖虽远，侠义永存。这个点我就觉得你自己只要相信有，那肯定就会有。”

"What a xia looks like is different in every era, and everyone has the potential to become a xia. Including, [for example], if you went out and suddenly saw an old lady trying to cross the street, and went to support her. That too, is xia. How do I put it? Although the jianghu is distant, xiayi is eternal. When it comes to this, I think that as long as you believe that it exists, then it will." — Cheng Yi

I adore the contrast in how CY and XSY view xiayi and the jianghu, and their roles acting as a part of it. For XSY, xiayi is experienced through the huge, sweeping emotions of these wuxia stories, while for CY it's about the mundane actions that still stem from a sense of chivalry and righteousness, however small. As well, to XSY wuxia media is a path for one to escape into the jianghu and live vicariously for a while, but for CY it's a way to bring part of the jianghu into one's own everyday life. It's interesting to see how their views differ, and how those understandings of wuxia translated to/shaped their characters (because if you look at DFS and LLH, they absolutely did). These two are such dedicated actors. I could listen to them talk forever about things like this.

hey not to be deeply weird about it but just to check, has everyone else already seen this interview with xiao shunyao in which he (correctly) argues that actually di feisheng is a deeply loyal and affectionate character, and also that li xiangyi gives di feisheng a reason to live?

i'm so fucking normal about it
