Kidnapped, fed on by demon mirror, watched mermaids turn zombie, rescued, trying to adjust to living in a brothel which is. A bit of a change from the Cloud Recesses. Oh and he's seeing and hearing dead people and wants to help them.

He has some family to reconnect with...?

THERE WILL BE NO CONFLICT.

EVERYONE IS VERY CLEAR WHOM THIS CHILD BELONGS TO.

Yes, Hanguang-jun!

And when the judge asks you which parent you want to stay with, little boy, you say...?

With daaaad

Good boy. Knows where the white rice's coming from.

... on that note, how are the family finances faring and will Sizhui have to start looking for odd jobs to supplement...

Uhm. Well. Son.

.......................well.

Well, your mother might have thoughts about this.

Right, looking for a job as a newspaper delivery boy ig.

IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU, SON, FINALLY SOMEONE CAN APPLY WANGJI'S BACK CREAM, DEEP SCARS ACHE IN THE COLD

Wants to help dead people you say. Could be fun later.

But El is beginning a new campaign to try and bring the group together- the first step being befriend people, so Sizhui lookin like a good candidate for potential frand.

... off to a ... some sort of a start...

And yes, Sizhui is awfully easy to befriend.

Five is a tiny bit spiteful and this poor guy might be on his radar because of his family. But! Gosh I want them to meet. He wants to see this perfect son.

OH RIGHT dad has talked about Sizhui with Five... hi, this is Wangji's son.

Also this boy will just smile and take spite. And be gentle. Because eh, so long as no one is harmed...

son are you going to keep your half wreck father warm at night because your not wreck father refuses to SAVE HIM, SIZHUI, FROM THE BURNING COLD

... he is pretty sure that if Sizhui agrees to warm someone at night, Wangji will destroy things. That said, he can share some spiritual energy and probably his blankets for the cause of Senior Wei not freezing...

see it's utterly harmless and also probably necessary, thank you

... seriously what other keeping warm be you thinking about son--

... honestly, Hanguang-jun is gearing up for custody battle with Wen Qing, he's not sure there is anything completely safe.

if you didn't already know how dramatic your father was--

Of all the people he knows, Zizhen is the closest to not being dramatic and he is still pretty dramatic. He's accustomed.

Don't talk shit about your dad.

He is not! It is all true!

IT IS ALL SHAMELESS

... but

he is not going to be staying around warming up senior wei through the night

Does that not count as something?
