So we all know Hua Cheng could fill thousands upon thousands of pages describing the beauty of his dianxia, how ethereal and perfect he is, and shamelessly tells it to his face, part to tease him, but more to declare his love amd admiration over and over
But Xie Lian is just as down bad, he just gets so embarrassed to say it out loud and he doesn't think he has the skill to put it in writing but he has so much to say about how attractive and perfect Hua Cheng is - and he knows Hua Cheng doesn't think that at all.
Perhaps he has a particularly bad day about his appearance once, and Xie Lian decides this can't do.
But in true Xie Lian fashion, he just. Says it. Unprompted. Out of the blue. No context.
They're cleaning around the shrine? "San Lang, you look so beautiful today, i love what you're wearing."
San Lang nearly trips on his feet and drops a bucket of water on himself on accident.
Taking a stroll through Ghost City? "The light reflects so beautifully in your eye, San Lang."
He almost stepped on a little ghost and he's pretty sure the monsters at the stall across the street are laughing at him.
Cuddling in bed? "Your touch feels so soft, San Lang."
Took all he had not to burst into butterflies.
Hua Cheng turns as red as his robes whenever this happens and becomes so flustered he can't speak - but Xie Lian makes it a point to keep randomly saying it. And doesn't let Hua Cheng off the hook if he says anything but "thank you" because he won't let San Lang sweet talk him and not acknowledge how beautiful he himself is!
