Extremely self indulgent. I just needed to see Shen Jiu Cat's cheeks getting squished.
Yue Qingyuan really had that one rescued street cat who bit and attacked literally everyone (including him) and Yue Qingyuan just really adored everything about him (including the feral nature) and grew to associate that attitude with his favorite creature ever to exist.
And all I’m saying is that if that was me and my cat one day got back from the vet and was suddenly sweet and kind to everyone (even with me but he didn’t want to pettily sleep on the bed just where I can’t reach to pet him anymore and obviously I am inconsolable about this) that I would be absolutely losing my mind and the vet would never know peace again because are they fucking sure this is my cat??? Because he didn’t even hiss at me when I called him by his beloved nickname which he hates???? The vet would block my fucking number just to get work done.
disciple era liujiuyuan where shen yuan transmigrates as an npc cultivator on the beast taming peak. sy has no idea that shen jiu is the future qing jing peak lord— he just sees a clearly traumatized teenager lashing out at everyone and everything and sy’s need to take in strays inevitably makes him seek out sj at every opportunity. he will fix him! (meanwhile sj is wondering what the fuck is wrong with sy and how the hell he got this far with no survival instincts, what do you mean he took a hit meant for sj—)
throw in liu qingge, who is initially concerned that sy is going to be badly influenced by sj’s dishonorable behavior while also still trying to get sj to Fight Him Properly (because their fights are exhilarating and sj is one of the best sparring partners that lqg has ever had, if only he would stop throwing dust into his eyes and fight him honorably). lqg keeps coming around more and more, and in part thanks to sy clearing up some critical misunderstandings the two had about each other, at some point lqg and sj go from hating each other to tolerating each other (with lots of bickering and empty insults thrown in).
sy meanwhile is watching this all go down and thinking about how his shidis are so pretty, if one of them was a girl they would make such a great couple… what a shame!
sj is inevitably the one who figures out how he feels first and is extra mean to both lqg and sy for a while because why the hell did he have to feel this way? he’s angry and resentful and bitter and jealous and yearning for something a former slave and street rat like him can never be allowed to have. (he’s also afraid of what will happen if he lets them in closer than he already has. he doesn’t want to imagine how they would react if they found out the truth about his past. no one can find out.)

“Back, back, back!” Shen Yuan hissed again at the prowling figures inching forwards. He pressed the side of his body closer against the man’s boots, as he berated them, “Why do you all like him so much?! He’s a bad man! A no-good man!”
His warning calls of ‘hisssmrowowowowrrrr’ earned him nothing of value but a few more inquisitive looks from the mortals and low-level cultivators walking past, and absolutely no consideration from the very street cats he was trying to persuade. Growing a little more desperate, Shen Yuan’s yowling only increased in volume as he cried, “He looks beautiful on the outside, but he’s vicious on the inside! It’s for your own good! Just leave him to me!”

What if Shen Yuan gets a petty princess boyfriend because the universe (I) said so.
-wrote a little ficlet about them under the cut ✨-
Shen Yuan's (very confused) POV:
You know, there are days you wake up and think, “Wow, life is weird.” And then there are days you wake up and there's a beautiful, irritated, probably-came-from-a-period-drama man sitting on your couch like he owns the place, glaring at your toaster like it personally offended his ancestors.
Yeah. I’m talking about that kind of day.
It started, as these things always do, with a thunderclap, some suspiciously glittery mist, and the next thing I knew, there was a very angry, very elegant man standing in the middle of my studio apartment. He looked around my humble little man-cave—okay, fine, it was a bit of a pig sty. I wasn't expecting visitors—and sneered so hard I thought his face would stay that way forever.
“This is your abode?” he asked, with the same tone I use when I accidentally step in dog poop.
“Uh,” I said intelligibly. “Yes…?”
He hissed. Hissed. Like a very angry, very pretty feral cat. It was alarming. And a little hot? No, stop that, Shen Yuan. Bad. No petting the murder kitty.
So. A quick summary: the stranger introduced himself—begrudgingly—as Shen Jiu.
A handsome stranger.
And he was in my house.
Living in my apartment.
Breathing my air.
Criticizing my instant ramen choices like he wasn’t literally eating all of them.
“You eat like a beggar,” he said yesterday, sipping tea he made himself after complaining my kettle was ‘barbaric’. “This isn't sustenance. It's punishment.”
Okay. One: accurate. Two: rude.
But we fell into a rhythm after a few weeks, somehow. Like a weird little odd-couple sitcom. Every morning, I’d wake up to Shen Jiu curled in a pile of throw blankets on my futon, looking like a disgruntled Persian cat. He hated the TV but would still watch it with a kind of horrified fascination. He especially hated anime. That was… a problem.
The turning point came when he caught me watching some over the top shonen anime and heard me make a passing comment about the protagonist’s abs.
“You like that?” he asked, voice tight. “You like him?”
“What? No, I—” I laughed, awkward. “It’s just anime—”
He made a sound like someone dropped a piano on his pride and turned off the laptop with a single disdainful poke of a button.
“You’re not allowed to look at other men,” he said, eyes narrowed.
“…What?”
“You heard me,” he said, as if that explained anything and then settled on my lap.
Then he stole my glasses.
He literally plucked them off my face like a bully on the schoolyard and perched them on his own perfectly arched nose.
I stared. Squinted, really. “I’m legally blind.”
“Good,” he snapped. “Then you can’t ogle those fake men anymore. Who draws them like that anyway? It’s obscene.”
“Jiu-ge,” I said gently. “Um… Can I have my glasses back please?”
“For what? To look at other men? I don’t think so.”
Never—and I mean never—has anyone been so furiously jealous of fictional anime boys that they physically robbed me of my glasses. It was almost impressive.
And I let him keep them.
Why? Because the alternative was him going back into Feral Mode™ where he hisses and threatens to set my bookshelf on fire with qi that I still don’t believe exists in this universe.
Besides… I didn’t mind the glasses thing so much when he was situated on my lap like I was his personal throne.
“You’re warm,” he said, nonchalant, like this was normal. Like he didn't came from a completely different reality.
“Cool,” I wheezed, not cool at all.
“You’re flustered,” he added, smug.
I was. But I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of admitting it. Instead, I tried to focus on the dead screen of my laptop, even if everything was blurry.
So now I’m trapped in a never-ending loop of being lowkey bullied by a man with cheekbones sharp enough to commit murder, who eats all my ramen, hoards my glasses, gets jealous of anime characters, and has absolutely no concept of personal space.
There are a lot of plausible ways that things could go if Shen Yuan met Shen Jiu when they're both grown adults, but for my money the funniest is if they just immediately start trying to maim each other.
Shen Yuan is wondering if there's some sort of mandate of the "if you meet your double you have to kill him" style in effect, but no. It's just that he's still way more pissed off about the child abuse against Binghe than he realizes, while Shen Jiu's reaction to seeing anyone who reminds him of himself is to try and destroy them. There's not a lot of thinking or finesse involved, so they basically go from zero to "rolling in the dirt trying to claw each other's eyes out" with no warning.
