Now what if someone from the sect came across him on a mission. A haunting being reported at the old burned down Qiu manor.

Yue Qingyuan enters, and Shen Qingqiu none the wiser about the mission.

Among the wreckage of the building they find him, a young teenager just sitting among the remains of what had at one point.

He looks at them with eyes that are both empty and crazed, as if this ghost of the past is still in the depths of a qi deviation. But he sees Yue Qingyuan and he stops for a moment.

"Qi-ge...? Qi-ge came back- Back for Xiao-Jiu-" He smiles wide and begins laughing.

"Qi-ge came too late... But Xiao-Jiu will forgive Qi-ge- Please put Xiao-Jiu to rest- I'm so tired Qi-ge, please let me rest..." And then he's crying, sinking into himself.

"So tired... Been here so long... Don't want to be here anymore..."

And Shen Jiu is very pissed about it and eventually ends up searching mission records and learns that Yue Qi had gone to the Qiu Manor for a mission but oh-

Why does it say that is the 2nd mission he has been sent on to the Qiu Manor?

One suspiciously older and marked off by the prior Peak Lord as a rescue mission.

One suspiciously lining up right after the Manor burned...

You don't.

You don't understand empathy,

How it's different from sympathy.

You don't.

You show sympathy with a laugh,

Try to make the problem pass.

You say it's empathy when it's really just a mask.

You don't.

You don't put yourself in anyone else's shoes,

You don't try to make them fit,

You don't sit and make them not feel like their mind is full of fools.

You don't.

You don't understand how much that hurts.

You really,

Truly,

Don't.

____________

Please,

I beg of you.

Don't misunderstand my mind,

Dont take one thought that filled my eye and put it aside.

Because oh...

It hurts so much more when it's you.

Please,

I beg of you.

Don't turn down my jokes when they turn my frown truly around.

Don't make up your mind for me when I have already tried to decide.

Because oh...

How I know,

It hurts so much more when it you.

...

For if it was anyone else, I would understand.

For I am heartless when such a easy mistake is made by those who I don't know.

So.

Please,

I beg of you.

It hurts more when it's you. By MJ

Option 2: *Wtf his he doing- Oh! He wants to hold hands? Who knows, maybe Liu-Shidi just likes to hold his bros hands! Nothing weird about this! We are just two really good friends!*

Option 3: *Just doesn't notice and assumes Liu Qingge was distracted and didn't understand why his hand was brushing up against his.*
