Dr. Yan and Xiao Xingchen (Birth of the drama king / The untamed)
(not sure how spoilery this post will get, so better safe than sorry)
Now, of COURSE Xiao Xingchen here’s all serious and righteous because he’s about to give Xue Yang a piece of his swordmind (He also just ignored Jiang Cheng, which I find hilarious). But that character is kind and good-natured, so the vast majority of XXC’s screen time in The untamed is of him smiling.
(It helps a lot that he’s blind and doesn’t know who he’s smiling to...)
NOW, DR. YAN, ON THE OTHER HAND...
He’s. Always. Grumpy!!!
Really, that character couldn’t be more opposite to Xiao Xingchen! But now that I’m finishing the series Birth of the drama king, I can give him a reasonable motive for always being so moody, petty and resentful.
Guy can’t catch a break!!
Since he comes back to his childhood sect, the poor man has been:
1.punched
(while in bed, too!!)
((which, tbh, VERY sexy of him))
2.manhandled
(angry doctor is angry)
3. haunted by nightmares
(again, very sexy!)
4.knocked out by a qi blow that wasn’t even aimed at him
5. manhandled some more
As well as annoyed by sycophantic minions, scolded by his shidi for wanting to commit a smol homicide, bullied by his dad, assaulted and tied up by two idiots high on mushrooms...
So yeah... I’d be angry too XD
((BONUS! Let’s pretend for a sec that xuexiao is real... ^^))
