@celesticlnstcrs | Dan Feng x Jing Yuan
Cooking was not in his list of most-perfected-arts, but Dan Feng wasn’t wholly defenseless in the kitchen. Then again, he could have just bought something instead of making it by hand, but he’d not get the chance to do so at Jing Yuan’s side like right now. Even the High Elder Yinyue-jun, an incarnation of Long, is smart enough to tell that he feels some kind of special way towards this Xianzhou native.
This doesn’t mean that he will act on his feelings, of course, because not even Dan Feng understands what he feels with precision. Jingliu had called him obtuse and Yingxing had outright called him dumb, both making Dan Feng grow even more confused instead of providing the aid he so much needed. Matters of the heart aren’t fit for the Vidyadhara, not anymore, especially because they can’t reproduce anymore. Perhaps a very important part of their nature was lost when they reached this point but thinking about it and the legends of their original planet, it seems like it was one of the lesser evils.
Alas, this is an opportunity for Dan Feng to spend more time with Jing Yuan. Yingxing is locked in his forge to finish a gift he probably will get too shy to give, and Jingliu is keeping the subject of their gifts busy. Baiheng’s birthday is next day, and the boys are still fanning over the gifts they will give to her. Although, by the way things are going in the kitchen, perhaps only Yingxing’s gift will reach Baiheng…
“Jing Yuan, I don’t think it is normal for the dough to be this damp.” Dan Feng isn’t even using his magic— it’s his bare hands that knead the sticky dough, using cooking glovers, of course. They are also dressed to fit the kitchen, long hair tied up in a high bun, bangs tucked behind his long ears. An apron is around his slender form-fitting kimono, white jacket set aside to don’t get dirty. There’s flour on his face, from when they began kneading the dough, and now he started punching it to try get the form quicker. “Do you think we should add more flour?” It is, however, the third packet of flour that he wants to add. Something must be very wrong here.
