Handsome Siblings (2020) HC’s

I am fully aware that I am late to the party, but I have lots of thoughts on how Xiaoyu’er’s and Wuque’s brothership would develop post-finale so here we are.

Bickering

With Wuque's upbringing in the refined Yihua palace, it is to be expected that he would be far more academically knowledgeable than Xiaoyu'er. Specially considering that the drama does throw in the occasional joke of Xiaoyu'er misquoting this or that proverb. I just think it would be kinda funny if at some point both are having a verbal spat over something ultimately trivial and Wuque, realising he probably won't be able to outwit Xiaoyu'er, simply switches to cultured speech to mess with him.

Go matches

The first time Xiaoyu'er loses to Wuque in a Go match, he is incredibly dramatic about it. He eventually accepts it, but not before putting on a Shakespearean drama performance.

Reputation

By the end of the drama, although he has made amends with both Murong Jiu and Zhang Jing, the rest of the world still knows Xiaoyu as the Most Evil Person Alive, so seeing him travel alongside the illustrous gentleman Hua Wuque must be quite a sight... at some point some unfortunate soul is bound to make a comment on Xiaoyu'er's villainy while they are traveling together. At which point Xiaoyu plays it off likes its nothing with his wits, but Wuque gives the clueless offender the Wide-Eyed Look Of Reprimanding Outrage™. Xiaoyu'er is a smug little gremlin about it.

Friendships

Xiaoyu'er would definitely pick up on Wuque's loneliness eventually, and push him to make more friends at any chance he gets: shared meals with fellow travelers, festivals.

The woes of high literature

Imagine at some point they are solving a mystery. As it is expected, Xiaoyu'er is mostly in the lead, as being the clever one is kind of his thing. So when finally everything is starting to click together there is only one clue that has yet to fit... and for whatever reason it is a piece of hyper complicately written literature. So in the middle of his Eureka moment, Xiaoyu'er has to turn to Wuque for help because "I can't read pretentious".

Attempted tutoring

Following the previous incident, Wuque attempts to tutor Xiaoyu'er. Thanks to the latters shenanigans, they end up doing anything but actually studying. At least they had fun...
