Everyone’s Summer Cool-Down Routines

Another Qixi has come around, and our married couples are celebrating again.

Here are their little everyday tricks for beating the heat—

With summer approaching, Fang Xiu bought a bathtub and deliberately set it up in the bedroom.

Officer Yuan found it a bit odd. Fang Xiu’s bedroom had no drains and no faucet. A lone tub by the window would looked nice, sure, but what was it for?

Thinking of his son-in-law’s “identity”, he decided not to dig. Maybe it was some folk custom from another dynasty; best to view the world with a tolerant eye.

Soon enough, summer came.

With nothing pressing today, Fang Xiu lay on the bed playing mobile games. Bai Shuangying’s head rested on his waist as he watched a science video with deep concentration.

Night fell completely; the wind chimes at the window rang under the night breeze. Bai Shuangying released just the right amount of yin energy, and the mood was wonderfully relaxed.

“It’s late. Should we go to bed?” Fang Xiu yawned wide and stretched.

Bai Shuangying hummed, rubbing his warm hair with a palm. He went to the bathtub first—and then vanished entirely. Skillfully reverting to his true form, he stretched out within the smooth tub and flowed as he pleased.

Fang Xiu undressed, drowsily climbed into the strange fluid mass, and let himself be drowned by Bai Shuangying.

That liquid wrapped him in fine layers, skimming softly over his skin. There was no safer place in the world. In that all-encompassing, cool embrace, Fang Xiu soon fell asleep.

The large bedroom looked empty, save for the tubful of mirror-smooth, uncanny fluid. The two “people” slept entwined until sunrise.

Naturally, sometimes Fang Xiu didn’t fall asleep right away.

Summer nights were warm, and excessive “exercise” made him feel sweaty and uncomfortable. So on many a summer night, he was happy to be intimate exactly like this—and for that, he bought the best-quality bathtub.

“No matter how much it rocks, it doesn’t make a sound,” he winked at Bai Shuangying. “But, uh, let’s not mention this to Dad.”

Everyone’s Birthday Cakes

Congrats to the couple from “Help” on moving into the Married Zone ☆(/ω＼)

This year’s 520 (May 20) mini-extra: couples celebrate their birthdays! It’s a perfect chance to compile everyone’s birthdays~

Fang Xiu: December 24th

Source: A normal birthday. (Christmas Eve)

Cake: [Traditional Brown-Sugar Flatbread]

The fruits of Bai Shuangying’s culinary efforts. It looks like a griddle cake with warm brown-sugar syrup inside and a faint herbal aroma… Lord Bai originally meant to make a cake, but he added a great deal of “I do as I please” to the recipe.

The failed “cake” left Bai Shuangying a little deflated; he only wanted to give Fang Xiu something healthier and more nourishing. But seeing Fang Xiu happily finish the sugar cake cheered him right up.

※ Fang Xiu truly finds this curious sugar cake delicious. How curious that whether it’s rich broth or sugar cakes made by his frosty ghost, the food he gets is warm and soft.

Bai Shuangying: August 10th

Cake: [Marshmallow of Living Souls]

A little experiment after Fang Xiu mastered his power: he spins the living souls of sinners with sugar into marshmallows, then fixes them into the shape of a cake. Bai Shuangying loves the texture. It tastes delicate and sweet.

After savoring it repeatedly, Bai Shuangying discovered a small secret. Neither the living souls of sinners nor mortal sugar compares to Fang Xiu’s heartfelt vital essence—when Fang Xiu makes his “cake” with his whole heart, a little essence seeps in along with the love.

※ He doesn’t understand why, when he adds love to a cake for Fang Xiu, it turns into brown-sugar flatbread. He’s not convinced. For Fang Xiu’s next birthday, Bai Shuangying plans to add even more focus and love.
