A love triangle about Yan Yan, Lan Lan, and Zangxin. [Heart] Mwah! Eat loquats, catch snakes, hunt in the wild. Handy life skills: swindle, cheat, and steal? No problem, my twin blades have got your back!
Yan's perspective: A story about a man who protects his beloved by making his enemy congee and tea every day, massaging his legs, fanning him in summer, and lighting a fire for him in winter. He despises the enemy every second of the day, but still serves him like a pampered lord, living like a man bound by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.
Then he comes up with a plan: drug the lunatic? If I can't beat him, I can poison him to death! Yes, poison him, and then Lan Lan and I can fly off together, hehehe...
Zangxin's perspective: Zangxin wheedles, "I can't leave you. I'm the kind you can't make happy without giving me candy."
Yan Sheng says he's leaving: "Uh... I'm still a baby. I'm too young for romance, so don't follow me. I'm off to make a killing."
Zangxin blocks his way: "No. Wherever you go, I'll go. In life, I'm yours; in death, I'll be your ghost."
"No, no, no. If you come with me, you won't have enough to eat, drink, or wear. Let's each go home and find our own mothers."
"No? Are you sure? Then I'll go cause trouble in the Six Realms of the Demonic Path!"
"Fine, fine, you win. Hold my hand tight and don't get lost."
Harmony perspective: The crowd says, "So-and-so, you've swindled, cheated, and stolen from all of us. Today, you're not going anywhere! You owe us an explanation!"
Yan: "I have nothing. There, there, go find him." (He shoves Zangxin in front of him.)
Zang: "That's right! Come to me." (He flashes his twin blades.)
Everyone: "Just as expected of a wife-protecting maniac. Let's get him!"
Yan: "I'll be off first. Bye!" (He makes a run for it.)
Zangxin shakes his head helplessly, then puts away his twin blades and pays everyone out of his own pocket.
The crowd leaves, satisfied.
Zang sighs: "Good thing my family is rich. Otherwise, I'd be in real trouble."
No more need be said. This is a sweet, doting, and hilarious story from 2020.
