Relationships: 笛飞声 Di Feisheng / 李莲花 Li Lianhua

Words: 6,008, one-shot

Summary:  Everyone knows Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng aren't really dating. Everyone knows that they can barely stand each other, and they're just pretending to be together for various reasons that make life easier.

Li Xiangyi doesn't care about the gossip, and he assumes Di Feisheng doesn't either — until an old friend comes back into the picture.

[Written for the prompt: they're actually dating but everyone else thinks they're faking it]

“Oh, meat buns,” he says, the vendor down the street catching his attention. He pulls A’Fei along by the hand, ignoring the perplexed look he gets in response. This is science! He orders two, biting into his own while A’Fei is still examining the one in his hands like it might grow legs and run off. So suspicious! “Eat, eat,” Li Lianhua urges, chewing. It’s good. The meat is fragrant, spiced just enough to bring out the flavor, and the dough is tender without being so soft that it falls apart in the hand. “If we eat enough here,” he says, “I won’t have to make dinner.” That does it.

Relationship: Di Feisheng/Li Lianhua

some nights li lianhua lies awake and looks at the moonlight caught in di feisheng's hair, silver on silver, the sight of it blinding to his heart if not his eyes. he remembers all too well the sight of di feisheng bloody and triumphant, hair loose and pale, falling around his shoulders like an unseasonable snow drift. what have you done, li lianhua had cried, and di feisheng had smiled with red teeth and all the arrogance of jianghu's demon king when he said saved your life, and collapsed in li lianhua's arms.

li lianhua had been able to tow him back from death's door with the renewed vigor of yangzhouman that time, but his meridians were damaged beyond repair, a lifetime of training and cultivation gone, and for what? a dead man's life? it's not that li lianhua doesn't appreciate the depth of di feisheng's sacrifice or the returned strength of his body, he sometimes just cannot fathom being worth the cost. now, he gathers a handful of di feisheng's moonbright hair and brings it to his lips, presses his love and regret into the strands with kisses that taste of salt.

di feisheng, as always, wakes without a sound. he sleeps more deeply than he used to, both out of familiarity and his diminished senses, but old habits die hard. "what is it," he murmurs and li lianhua shakes his head. di feisheng hums warningly, a sound that means li lianhua won't get away with that tonight, and he sighs.

"don't you ever regret it," he says, still with his handful of moonlight, fingers twined in pale silk. di feisheng turns to face him fully, reaches out to tilt li lianhua's face up until their eyes meet.

"no," he says, and li lianhua's heart swells in his chest, never quite sure how to grapple with di feisheng's absolute pronouncements.

"but your martial arts," li lianhua says, doubt a clinging spectre in his soul, "you worked so hard..."

"i gave it up so you could live and i would do it again," di feisheng says, so sure that li lianhua feels almost embarrassed by his sincerity.

"you could have died," li lianhua says, grasping for his earlier certainty of his own unworthiness.

"i didn't," di feisheng says. "you didn't either. are you not happy?"

"i am," li lianhua says helplessly, disarmed. di feisheng has a way of extinguishing his misgivings by simply suffocating them with his surety. it's infuriating, but also reassuring.

"then it was worth it," di feisheng says, closing his eyes. "go back to sleep."

can’t read my poker face

Li Lianhua finds a supertopic on weibo claiming that he’s in a secret relationship with fellow actor Di Feisheng, a relationship so secret that even Li Lianhua didn't know about it until now. It’s impossible. It’s ridiculous. He and Di Feisheng aren’t even friends. The fact that he can’t stop obsessively scrolling through the supertopic is another matter altogether.
