xie lian and hua cheng body swap!
Xie Lian was hugging something.
It was early morning at Paradise Morning in the ghost realm and Xie Lian felt something in his embrace. Last night he remebered it was he who was in Hua Cheng’s embrace when he fell asleep. Perhaps they had swapped positions throughout the night?
Xie Lian slowly opened his eyes as they adjusted to the morning light streaming in. He looked down and saw a small head resting on his chest. He smiled. Generally it was he who had his head on Hua Cheng’s chest, so it was nice to see a different view of him. Xie Lian felt Hua Cheng wake as the resting head shifted.
Hua Cheng shifted his head to look up. That’s when Xie Lian’s felt his morning grogginess be replaced with horror as he realized it was actually his own head resting on his chest!
Of course, it didn’t take the pair long to realize they simply swapped bodies. However, it wasn’t as simple as the Soul Shifting Spell; it was something more permanent. They spent all morning wracking their brains trying to figure out how to swap back. Only when Yin Yu knocked on the chamber’s door did they decide to take a break.
Xie Lian let Yin Yu in. Yin Yu bowed and said, “Chengzhu, there are some high ranking demons that wish to speak with you.”
Xie Lian look to Hua Cheng automatically to see what he had to say, but realized Yin Yu was adressing himself since he was in Hua Cheng’s body.
Hua Cheng, in Xie Lian’s body, innocently smiled and said, “What will you do with them, San Lang.”
Xie Lian covered his face with his hands. Is that really what he looked like when talking to Hua Cheng? He shook off the unease of seeing his body speak without him actually being the one to do and quickly thought of a reply. What would Hua Cheng do in this situation? Usually when Xie Lian is with Hua Cheng in the ghost realm, Hua Cheng disregards all small matters and tends to Xie Lian above all else, much to his chagrin.
Xie Lian made up his mind and stood up straight. “Uh, send them away for now.” He tried to imitate the same confident air Hua Cheng has, but his words came out more like a question than a command.
Yin Yu swept a quick curious glance over Xie Lian and Hua Cheng and without missing a beat nodded his head and left the room.
Xie Lian let out a breath. “Do you think he knew?”
Hua Cheng just shrugged without care.
The pair were tired from the morning’s brain wracking so they decided to just figure out what to do tomorrow.
In the mean time, Xie Lian was having much fun in Hua Cheng’s body. He braided a matching braid on the other side of Hua Cheng’s face and showed it off to Hua Cheng. “What do you think San Lang?”
Hua Cheng let out a faint yet playful smile. “Whatever Dianxia does to my looks, I will always think it looks good. However, now that Dianxia is younger shouldn’t he call me gege?”
Xie Lian didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. Technically speaking, since he was in Hua Cheng’s body he should address Hua Cheng in Xie Lian’s body as the elder...
“San Lang...” Xie Lian started.
“S-san Lang gege.” Xie Lian promptly hid his burning face in his hands. Hua Cheng’s body can blush furiously after all.
Xie Lian decided to tryout some of Hua Cheng’s other looks. It took some practice but he was eventually able to seamlessly flit from one look to another. He landed on the “young master” look from when they met each other on the rice straw cart long ago.
“San Lang, remeber when we met on that rice straw cart on the way to Pu Qi village? I had thought you were just some young master out to play...” Xie Lian smiled fondly at that memory which was ingrained deeply in his heart. That day the maples burned red like fire yet the air was crisp and calm.
Xie Lian looked back to Hua Cheng’s face, but he was just sitting and watching quietly with a neutral face.
“San Lang, uh, gege, what’s the matter?”
However, Hua Cheng revealed nothing. “I’m fine.”
Of course Xie Lian knew something was up, so after much coaxing and a final hug that broke the camels back Hua Cheng’s facade cracked. Hua Cheng buried his face in his hands. “I’m sorry dianxia.”
“I’m afraid to move or smile to much. What if I accidently hurt gege’s body? And if I smile too much I may contribute to gege’s wrinkles in the future...”
Xie Lian let out a small laugh. “San Lang, sometimes you are so silly. I have an immortal body.”
“I know, but I would never think about hurting a hair on gege’s body.”
