@the-marron HAPPY BIRTHDAY one day later

As you notice, this fic is for Marron's birthday, but you can read it too :v pls have a summary:

For days, Zhao Yunlan would return to where that specific landscape was and spend some time observing it. Shen Wei wondered what was wrong with that painting, but did not voice his questions. Eventually, his husband would say something about it. It wasn't as if Zhao Yunlan knew how to remain silent for long. But as he paused once more in front of the painting, there was a certain nostalgia tinged with resignation in his gaze. "The last time we passed this waterfall, I already knew that I would not see my little beauty become a great beauty..."

When he was a kid, Zhao Yunlan believed that saving the world was this definitive, life-altering thing that changed everything - after the hero saved the day there was no more war, no more pollution. The weather was always beautiful and people were nice to each other because with no threat to their lives they had no more reasons to be nasty.

Zhao Yunlan aged twenty-nine sees the matter very differently. 

Saving the world didn't make the bureaucracy go away for example - it only made the officials come up with more exciting forms to fill out: for the Dixingren stuck above, for Haixingren bereft of their possessions, for Haixingren wanting to marry Dixingren, for Dixingren to register their powers, the sheer amount of papers the Xingdu Ministry can now be mean about increased drastically, and they aren't even Zhao Yunlan's everyday problem.

The rain however very much is.

Getting wet is not what concerns Zhao Yunlan at the moment - in his infinite wisdom he decided to go shopping with his better half who was born ready for everything, and had taken an umbrella to the excursion, so they are now being protected from the elements with the power of white plastic with a Da Qing-presenting cat proudly displayed above Shen Wei's head.

They are safe, but their freshly painted rails on the balcony are not, and Zhao Yunlan feels very tired just thinking about painting them again.

Such minor inconveniences never happened to heroes of his childhood. Their lives grew more peaceful, while Zhao Yunlan's got... Well, not worse, that's for sure, but certainly more colourful. He never even dreamed he would come to the moment in life when he would have a house to worry about.

A house he was returning to with Shen Wei, who finally gave in and started wearing more normal clothes to get the shopping done. While Shen Wei trying his best to move freely in a suit was certainly a vision, Zhao Yunlan cannot help but be a little charmed by the t-shirt (his) and the cardigan the revered professor Shen is wearing now. It feels like a good change. 

Or at least it doesn't make the onlookers fear that Zhao Yunlan is some ruffian who kidnapped himself a respectable hostage and is now blackmailing him into shared domesticity.

Mundane looks good on Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan thinks, and gets distracted by a rumble of thunder above them. Fucking great, they've just planted the flowers too. 

Annoyed at the world, Zhao Yunlan stops to stare at the skies in accusation, the lollipop he’s been abusing for the last half an hour turning unexpectedly sour in his mouth. 

Next to him, Shen Wei stops too, yet his attention is on something else entirely.

"Look. Lis changed the curtains again," Shen Wei says, in his best impression of polite judgment, "Hideous."

Zhao Yunlan doesn't have to look - even if the Li family bought the best looking, the most tasteful curtains in the world, even if those were the very curtains of Shen Wei's dreams, he would still hate them on principle. Mostly because Shen Wei doesn't approve of anything the Lis do, by default.

Still engrossed in his battle of wills with the dark clouds coming their way, Zhao Yunlan allows himself to retrace the long history of Shen Wei on Li Hua and Li Cheng violence. Did it start with Li Hua sharing her loud opinions about Dixingren? With Li Cheng's loud music playing? Or with their shared belief that Zhao Yunlan is the 'hoolingan that makes their neighbourhood feel less sophisticated'? The investigation is still ongoing, but the fact remains that in this post-world saving reality, the great Heipaoshi still has his battles to fight.

With the neighbours.

There is something deeply pleasing about the thought, and Zhao Yunlan is on his way to voice that particular mushy thought of his when his personal enemy, the Nature, sends another roll of thunder as a warning not to get too cocky.

"We need to at least save the flowers," Zhao Yunlan says, adjusting his grip on the umbrella with determination. Shen Wei's hand, still resting on his arm tenses slightly at the word 'save', but he relaxes right away. He casts one last, fully judgemental look in the direction of house Li and off they go, trying to outrun the weather.

"Maybe at least her begonias get it," Shen Wei mutters with dark hope in his voice.

The pleasant feeling inside Zhao Yunlan returns with force, warm despite the rain.
