Liu Qingge: Wait, Shen Qingqiu was a slave?!?!

Qi Qingqi: And he's not a pervert?!?!

Wei Qingwei: I can't believe we all made these assumptions

Shang Qinghua: Wow, how crazy, he's not what he seems, who could've guessed, anyway can we get back to the budget, this is what the meeting was supposed to be about

And honestly, I think there should be more scumplane interactions

Shen Qingqiu: If you known the rumors were fake, then why do you avoid me?

Shang Qinghua: Because you're terrifying????

So this awkward preteen rat demon sneaks into the Qiu’s mansion, finds this little slave boy and goes “come with me and I’ll get you out of here”

Shen Jiu is obviously suspicious and a little bit scared (a lot bit scared) so he’s like “why the hell should I believe you. Why would you help me,” and Shang Qinghua is prepared for this so he says,

“Listen, I really hate the Qiu’s. There are few things I can do to piss them off but freeing their slave and bringing him to a cultivation sect is definitely one of them,”

The cultivation sect part catches Shen Jiu’s attention but he is still very careful, ready to shank this demon with the knife in his pocket the moment he shows hostility.

Shang Qinghua sneaks him out and gives him a bag with a map to Cang Qiong Mountain, a clearly demonic knife, and like- a lot stolen money.

“I’m guessing you already have a weapon, but this one will also paralyze whoever you stab. Plus you can tell the sect you fought a demon for it,”

Shen Jiu waits for the catch, for the trick. Shang Qinghua leaves and never comes back.

Hair care pt. 2 !! Returning the favor

SCUMPLANE YAYA.

One day some An Ding disciples comes across his old book and goes to him to ask

"Shizun, this game you made... Could you maybe be a dungeon master for some of us...? We're really interested in it!"

Shang Qinghua, who forgot all about it, stares with wide eyes at the book before eagerly snatching it up and agreeing. Of course your shizun will! He hasn't seen this manual in years!! He'll schedule something :D!

A few months later, Shen Qingqiu wanders onto An Ding to chat with Shang Qinghua about something but pauses when he reaches one of the courtyards and hears something.

Getting a little closer, he sees and watches Shang Qinghua, with a group of his little ducklings, eagerly narrating an important story beat, using dramatic voices and hand gestures while he interacts with their characters.

He watches from afar curiously, listening to the story and the voices his strange shidi uses.

Shen Qingqiu wants that. He wants to play that strange game his shidi apparently made. But he doesn't know how to ask. Nor does he believe he'd be allowed to.

But maybe Shang Qinghua notices him when they're finished.

"Ah-! Shen-shixiong how long have you been... Watching me?" He gets embarrassed.

"This shixiong did not know Shidi had time for games." Shen Qingqiu raises a brow over his fan and Shang Qinghua laughs nervously.

"Ah this shidi was just-"

"Hm, shidi needn't get nervous. He is not in trouble with this shixiong, he was simply... Curious about the game."

"Huh? Oh! Shen-shixiong, would you... Like to play with me sometime? Maybe we could gather some hall masters, or other peak lords, or we could go down the mountian to-" He clears his throat. "Or yknow- however you'd be comfortable."
