"You're beautiful!"
Xie Yuchen turned at that breathless exclamation, one eyebrow already raised in perfect mocking query. The boy who had spoken couldn't have been much older than Xie Yuchen, himself, could, in fact, have been much younger if his lack of control over his mouth was any indication.
The boy spoke again, a grin splitting his words in twain in a way Er Yuehong would never have permitted in Xie Yuchen. What must it be like to express oneself so freely at all times? Must it not be just a little tiring? Even Xiuxiu, bright and effervescent as she was, was not nearly so open a book as this boy. It was baffling.
"My name is Wu Xie! What's yours, meimei?"
…meimei?
Xie Yuchen supposed that was a reasonable error to make with him in his opera gear from rehearsal, but still. He drew himself up to his full height, the weight of every hour of training he'd ever had in his frown as he responded. "Xie Yuchen." He paused, then, to lift his eyebrow once more. "You don't recognize your own cousin when you see him?"
Wu Xie blinked several times in rapid succession, eyes roving up and down Xie Yuchen's body as his brow furrowed. When finally his expression cleared, he piped up with a happy, "Well, you're still beautiful, and we should get married someday!" before bending down to pick up the ball Xie Yuchen had been practicing his balancing on when he'd been initially interrupted. "Can I interest you in a game of catch?"
For a moment, Xie Yuchen could do nothing but stare. Ever since his apprenticeship to Er Yuehong, ever since he'd begun training to take over the Xie family, Xie Yuchen could count on one hand the number of people who had approached him without fear… and he would still have had fingers left over. But this boy, this cousin of his—Wu Xie—he had no fear.
Xie Yuchen smiled, and he held out his hands.

i had a dream xie yuchen and hei xiazi were not talking to each other for some reason and wu xie went "alright xiao hua what's wrong what happened. let's resolve this" and xiao hua asked him something about minecraft and wu xie ofc knew the answer. and then he asked a different question about minecraft to hei xiazi and it was something incredibly evil, maybe even a trick question about something not actually in the game, and the only thing i remember about xiazi's answer was that he said racoon when he meant wolf. and then xie yuchen got so angry at him that he had to hold xiazi's hand to calm down like that one meme abt a couple arguing and my point is now i want to write about the grave robbers' exclusive minecraft server
i was reading book 11 chapter 10 today and there's this scene xiao hua feeding wu xie some biscuits 👀
Never would've worked out And even though we couldn't save it It was time well wasted
The Inevitable
(a Xie Yuchen POV ficlet / internal monologue)
There was a boy who used to come and play around my house. His grandmother was my grandfather’s cousin. When he met me for the first time, he asked me to marry him. “Xiao Hua is a pretty name. My name is Wu Xie, do you want to be my bride?”
I told him I’d consider it, and it made him very happy. He immediately ran into the parlor where his uncle was having tea with my uncle and announced to all the adults of our two families, “I’m going to marry Xiao Hua when I grow up!”
The adults laughed.
But then one day, his uncle and mine went on another tomb excavation, but only his uncle returned. After that, the boy stopped coming to our house.
A decade later, Wu Xie’s uncle disappeared as well. On our search for the truth behind the tragedies that have plagued our families for the past three generations, I met Wu Xie again.
“So you are Xiao Hua?”
I’m no longer the little girl he met a decade ago. I’m now the widely feared head of the Xie family, a cunning and ruthless figure in the dark world of grave robbers and black market antiques. But he is still the innocent and trusting young master Wu. It saddened me to see that even he could not avoid our shared fate, that even he was bound to eventually follow in his uncle and grandfather’s footsteps and enter my world.
He was the light we all tried to protect, my little fiancé. I wanted him to live a normal life, to stay out of the family business. But it seems like some things cannot be avoided.
He met Zhang Qiling, and there was no turning back after that, even when all things reached their inevitable end.
He said he will wait a decade for that man. And since that is Wu Xie’s decision, I will wait with him. We will all be there, the old nine families, when ten years have passed, to see if the head of the Zhang family would keep his promise this time around.
How many decades do we have in a lifetime?
Shifu was right. The head of the Zhang family cannot be trusted lightly. But when he lights a candle, everyone will follow him into the darkness.
