    Summary

    Xie Lian imagines Shi Qingxuan and He Xuan doing their intro like they always do, Shi Qingxuan talking with excitement and He Xuan pretending to be bored. Shi Qingxuan would mention the show was born from his own experience at being catfished, and he would look fondly at He Xuan, waiting for a reaction that never comes. But Shi Qingxuan never mind that, he talks and moves enough for the both of them.
    Then, they would pretend they just receive an email and read Xie Lian's letter.

    Hi Shi Qingxuan and He Xuan,
    My name is Xie Lian. My friends Feng Xin and Mu Qing convinced me to contact you about my boyfriend, San Lang. He's talented, caring, amazing, and really everything I ever wished for. Except he's 6h away from me and I never saw him in real life.

    __

     

    Or.. Xie Lian just wants to see his online boyfriend in real life but his friends think San Lang is a liar playing with him. So he decides to find out the truth on TV.
    Based on the TV show Catfish.

    Summary

    Xie Lian’s string was red. It was supposed to indicate that his person was all of it wrapped up in one—that there was one person in the world who would be his friend, his family, all of it. However, the older Xie Lian got, the more he began to think that maybe red just meant he had nobody at all.

    _____

    In a world where platonic, familial, and romantic soulmates are indicated by yellow, blue, and white strings, Xie Lian's is red.

    Summary

    “We talked about it,” Xie Lian says, hearing the frustration in his voice. “I want to go to the next step.”

    “It's okay if you don't—” Hua Cheng started.

    “I do! God, I want it so much. I don't want you thinking that I don't. I—I think about it all the time, San Lang.”

    Hua Cheng looks pleased, the tops of his cheekbones flushing to match his red shirt, and his thumb strokes the back of Xie Lian's hand.

    “What do you think about, gege?”

    --

    Xie Lian seeks a lesson in desire. And another. And another.

    Summary

    Through the frozen mist in the tank, a figure lurches toward the glass, fingers curling in the frost. Dark hair frozen in a seal-slick, like oil in viscous fluid. A naked torso, deathly pale and riddled with those blue veins like tributaries. One hand wrenches the cryotank mouthpiece away from his face, and the man in the tank bares his teeth in a snarl as he looks down at Xie Lian, and then stops.

    “Oh,” Xie Lian breathes.

    The man in the tank is a shade elf.
