“Anyway,” Jiang Cheng interjects. “Not that I’m not glad to have an old friend over for dinner, but I think there’s also another thing, right? What are we getting involved in, exactly? You have a stalker?” Jin Ling, who was starting to settle back in his seat, perks up at that. “A stalker? Need me to beat them up, ayi?” “N-No?” Mianmian blinks. “You two, how did you raise this kid?” “Oh, don’t look at me.” Nie Huaisang chuckles, delighted. “That’s all Jiang Cheng. I only moved back, like, three years ago.”

Or: Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang and their band of not-so-teenage-anymore vigilante do-gooders step in to help an old friend.

Ouyang Zizhen: Oh fiddlesticks! That really ruffles my feathers!

Jin Ling, crying: Please, just say fuck.

Hhh want a soulmate au where Jin Ling, Ouyang Zizhen and Jiang Cheng are all soulmates, but when Jiang Cheng realises they are both still kids and is horrified so he decides to just ignore it and let the two find each other.

SiZhui: No, not—

Jingyi: Boats! Ah, I just love boats, don’t you? Wind in your hair!

Zizhen: Ocean on every side!

Jin Ling: Miles and miles from the nearest dry land!

Jingyi: Watery death awaiting at the slightest mishap! Man, that’s what I call living.

SiZhui: Yeah, I’m really gonna need you to shut up.

I love ot4 junior quartet like it's just so great

Because you have zhuiyi which is like childhood best friends to lovers, "i cause problems" and "i fix the problems", soft mom friend + chaotic stupid. Their relationship naturally progresses from best friends to lovers, but they're both stupid in love matters, so they don't realize they're basically dating for a while

Then you have zhuiling which is like soft boy + tsundere who is struggling to tsundere because soft boy is so soft he forgets to be tsundere sometimes. It's also extra rich boy x (idk?) boy, so you have one constantly finding reasons to dote on the other, and the other not realizing it means that the rich boy got a crush

Then you have zhuizhen which is like sticking the soft boy mom friend together with the half time mom friend half time chaotic stupid (jingyi level) and sometimes both at once. Their relationship is all levels of soft, and sometimes they're the only voices of reason

Then there's lingyi which sticks together tsundere boy and chaotic stupid boy and slaps on a love-hate relationship and turns chaotic stupid boy tsundere only for tsundere boy. They thrive off insulting each other, but if someone else insulted or hurt the other they would go ham like "I'M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO INSULT HIM LIKE THAT". Both would go crazy in rage if the other was hurt, but they also wouldn't admit it. They play pranks on each other all the time. They heavily deny having crushes on each other, and sometimes Jin Ling buys Lan Jingyi stuff but won't admit he was the one who bought it. Jingyi is half "Ooh you wanna kiss me so bad" and "who would kiss you?", and Jin Ling is just "Who would kiss you?"

Then zhenling which is tsundere boy + half mom friend half chaotic stupid, so sometimes they're like zhuiling and have such a sweet relationship where Jin Ling forgets he's a tsundere, sometimes they have a bit of that love-hate double tsundere thing going on, sometimes Zhizhen acts like his mom, and other times they team up to prank Jingyi

Then there's zhenyi which is chaotic stupid soft boy + half mom friend half chaotic stupid, so half the time Zizhen is the voice of reason and they have a zhuiyi like relationship, and half the time they're like chaotic stupid bros who pull pranks on each other in good fun or team up to prank Jin Ling. They can be very ride or die at times, and they can also be really soft

So then you stick zhuilingyizhen together and you have this best friend group formed under interesting circumstances that became ride or die pretty fast with multiple different dynamics, but it's filled with so much love and chaos. It's romantic time with the boys and despite the different dynamics they all love each other

Zizhen bonded with Jin Ling in Yin City and I can’t get over their friendship afterwards

Like

Look at him shake his head at JL’s nonsense

And then when he realizes he’s not coming back the dork is like “..I’ll go look over there” And yet we see him pass by in a hurry

On the left you can clearly see him in his red robes rushing up to catch up to JL 🤣

And then they’re so comfortable with each other that a simple hand tap is enough to get JL to sit back down

And he’s the only one willing to sit down and eat with him.

Ahhh this is why I’m loving the idea of them being together when they grow up more like ahhhh the start of a good ship right here
