so if qi ye showed partners-in-alcohol-and-crime jing beiyuan and zhou zishu constantly conspiring on the same brain wavelength, and tyk wenzhou have near-telepathy levels of mutual Knowing™… by the transitive property of zhiji wen kexing is canonically at least half a zhiji to jing beiyuan. don’t boo me you know i’m right
OP don’t tempt me, god this would be so much fun to write.
They’d both HATE how in tune they were, frenemies in love, gosh Zzs would be laughing his ass off the whole time….
I can’t stop thinking about the fact that Wuxi is in an alliance with Helian Yi by the end of Qi Ye, right? Like - they have to interact in an official capacity as leaders of their realms, don’t they?
Imagine Helian Yi visiting Nanjiang on official business and Wuxi is like, “this is my wife: she’s mute and also all Nanjiang nobles are veiled at all times, don’t ask” and meanwhile Jing Beiyuan, who loves to talk more than anything, has to stay quiet and unassuming for several days so as not to alert his ex-soulmate to the fact that he’s still alive.
