i am so in love with the fact that e'ming is a representation of hua cheng's strongest, basic emotions and how his cruel treatment of e'ming signals to the audience his own repression of any feelings he considers weak or useless to xie lian

because he's quite expressive and emotional. he's confident but he's not a stoic type. but when it comes to his neediness for xie lian's affection, his excitement at receiving affection from xie lian or his pain at having hurt xie lian (seeing xie lian so readily accept and be ok with being hurt after he stepped in between hua cheng and lang qianqiu), those are the times e'ming is most expressive and hua cheng hates it.

we make jokes about hua cheng being jealous of e'ming and i love those jokes but e'ming is also such a fascinating way to get across hua cheng's repression and resentment for his own perceived weaknesses and feelings.

all of those emotions he doesn't think are useful to being strong and protecting xie lian, he represses them so violently, and his violence towards e'ming is such a creative way to show his low self-worth

Tgcf time travel fix-it au where xie lian gets sent to the past and the firstthing he does is to go see hua cheng in ghost city

As soon as he steps into the gambling hall, e'ming comes flying at him at mach speeds, scaring the shit out of everyone around him

Xie lian catches e'ming without breaking a sweat though, and just lights up with the biggest smile and starts cooing at it, "Hi baby! Hello baby! I missed you too! How's my good boy doing? You look especially shiny today, has Hua Cheng been good to you? What have I said about flying through crowds like that? Do you want to take someone's head off?"

The patrons of the gambling house give xie lian a wide berth as he heads up to where Hua Cheng is standing, giving him the biggest heart eyes ever and wondering when xie lian could possibly have gotten so familiar with his sword

Xie Lian tells him that he's from the future and also in his timeline they were in a relationship

Hua Cheng accepts this explanation without batting an eye because the way he sees it, even if xie lian was lying (which he doesn't think he is), it's still a win-win situation for hua cheng, who suddenly finds himself in a relationship with the guy he's been pining over for 800 years, and he didn't even have to win him over

Just like in romantic anime, Hua Cheng holds his hand over the head of his love interest, leaning Xie Lian against the wall, and Xie Lian just playing with Hua Cheng's braid 💕

and e'ming just glad to see hualian flirting with each other
