[The Grave Robbers' Chronicles / Hua Xie] Silk Sleeves Cradling the Wall, Weeping at Yantai

Written in November 2012 Two years after graduating from tomb raiding. Please forgive any out-of-character portrayals. An alternate-history Republic of China setting, childhood friends, Hua Xie only. Xiaoge appears, but I have a one-person-per-CP rule, so he's basically there like Pangzi, as a close friend. If I ever get the chance, this story might become the opening to a very long novel, but for now, this is all I can do. That's all. Hua Xie comes with "Xiao Xiao" as the BGM for this nostalgic flashback. We all get it. Theme:
