and make him laugh at a truly terrible pun, and shoot finger guns and a wink at a passing Pan Zi (who automatically shot finger guns back, as was their established routine). - XDD
3.) A-Ning called the office phone looking for San Xing. No, she didn’t want to leave a message. No, she didn’t want to join for lunch and play pool, Wu Xie. No, she wasn’t being mean. No, those weren’t guns in the background noise. Goodbye, Wu Xie. - XDD
Shortly after A-Ning’s phone call, Wu Xie was cataloging paperwork under Wang Meng’s supervision when he heard the faint tones of Wu Sanxing’s trademark ringtone—Edith Piaf’s “Je Ne Regrette Rien”—coming from the store only a few rooms away and nearly rolled his ankle trying to get down the ladder. This was his chance to talk Uncle into the plan he had rehearsed for hours this week, finally Uncle was here, Wu Xie was sure with a little luck he— Was being blocked from descending. Wang Meng held onto both sides of the ladder firmly. “Nope. You are still on the clock, kiddo, which means you finish your work now and socialize later. Consider this training for the real world where your income doesn’t come as allowance.” Wu Xie trained his best glare on Wang Meng, the one that he hoped mimicked Wu Erbai’s baseline expression, but the clerk remained unphased. “If you are out of items to catalogue on this list, we can always move on to the shelves of shame.” He twitched the ever-present feather duster in his hand menacingly. - I love it, the detail about the ankle and Wang Meng catching him XD
👀👀👀 A Wu family mystery
Wang Meng had softened enough by the end of the day to give Wu Xie the closing-up task of wishing everyone farewell. He gave an evil eye to the attractive young man who was all but undressing Wu Xie with his eyes while leaving. This was a place of work, and his coworker was barely old enough to remember the 2008 Olympics. He hoped the heavy front door hit him on the way out. - 🤣🤣
The man called Speechless slowly raised a hand, in a small wave. - djfhdndkdk that’s adorable
and then advised Wu Xie—with a somewhat disturbing perkiness—to pretty please with a cherry on top don't look around outside the car until they were out of the carpark. - XDD
I so appreciate this comment! i went back and forth on how xiao ge would actually communicate a hello, and i got this vision of when Ultimate Note's Xiao Ge (def the facecast for this) did a solemn handsign for a group picture with the iron triangle and i was like--awkward hand gesture from the most graceful fighter. yes. that is our boy.
I loved that moment in the show. XDD It popped up in a fanvid I watched yesterday and just sent me laughing all over again. It’s perfect and I’m glad you added something like it to your story XD
