[CN] Shaw's Sweet and Sour Date (Part 1)

⚡Warning: This post contains detailed spoiler for a date which hasn't been released in EN yet!⚡

[Released Date: 6 Dec 2024]

[Section 1]

Shaw: I still don't understand, aren't you the boss? Why are you working for others?

MC: How can this be considered working? I'm just helping others out of kindness...

I completely ignored Shaw's displeased look in the mirror and carefully applied rouge.

After confirming that my makeup was flawless, I draped on a light gauze shawl and twirled happily in front of him. The delicate hairpins on my head made a crisp, melodious sound as they jingled.

MC: How is it? Does it look good?

Shaw: Now you're even showing off... I think you're really addicted to acting today.

Shaw rolled his eyes and I pouted in dissatisfaction.

MC: Who's showing off? I'm fragrant and stunning, absolutely gorgeous, and adorably beautiful! Shaw (in a playful tone): Alright, alright, Miss Fragrant, Stunning, Absolutely Gorgeous, and Adorably Beautiful. The tassels on your waist got tangled up from all your twirling.

As Shaw spoke, he bent down slightly to untangle the tassels wrapped around my belt.

When our eyes met as he stood up, I deliberately picked up my fan, held it in front of my face, and playfully threw him a flirtatious glance.

MC (acting mode on): Oh, sir, you are so thoughtful.

Shaw: ….. Shaw (laughs): Can you stop acting already?

MC: I'm just getting into character early to prepare for the work ahead!

Recently, the activities in Ruyi Town have been exceptionally popular, and the [MC company], originally only a promotional partner, has also invested more manpower and resources for the organizers.

The entire Ruyi Town is now filled with a variety of fun mini-games and lively storytelling performances.

Countless visitors are fully immersed here, eagerly exploring the streets and alleys to meet various NPCs and complete the tasks they assign.

Shaw: By the way, who are you going to play today? MC: Huh? Didn't I mention it? Shaw: I only know that early this morning, you got a call saying that some Xiao Lan from your company wasn't feeling well and needed someone to cover for her.

Shaw (teasinglyx1): Then, as you chatted, someone started grinning like an idiot, looking more and more excited, and finally volunteered to be the substitute.

Shaw (teasinglyx2): ...Is playing an NPC really that thrilling for you? MC: Mhm~ After all, NPCs used to give me tasks, making me run around everywhere. Now it's my turn to try commanding players. Shaw: Yeah, makes sense. And the first one to take your 'orders' was me, sending you off to work. Shaw: So, who are you playing as? MC: See this?

I pulled out a mandarin duck sachet and showed it off in front of him.

MC: ‘Why are we like mandarin ducks, always entwined in pairs, fluttering freely together?’ My role is simple—I'm playing a lovesick maiden. MC: I'm locked in the courtyard by the lord and lady, tossing and turning without a way out, so I need the players to help me deliver a token of love.

Shaw (curiously): To whom?

MC: Of course it’s the one I like.

Shaw (fuming with anger): Someone you like?

Shaw's eyes immediately narrowed. His gaze swept over the sachet and then returned to my face.

After a while, he suddenly laughed.

Shaw (trying to act normal): So you even have an acting partner, huh? Who is it? The one who just greeted us outside? MC: No, that’s our company’s screenwriting teacher. MC: My partner is the Lovesick Scholar, but I haven’t met him yet. After all, my character is supposed to be trapped in the courtyard.

I was halfway through explaining when I suddenly came to my senses.

MC (in a probing tone): Are you jealous?

Shaw (quick and blunt): Nope. MC: Huh, you must be jealous, otherwise why would you ask me this? Shaw: Is it possible that I was just asking a normal question?

"Is it possible that a normal question wouldn’t sound so sour?" I blinked at him but decided to swallow this teasing remark.

Shaw, clearly growing more uncomfortable under my gaze, simply grabbed my shoulder and started walking me out.

Shaw: Okay, it's almost time for you to go to work.

—

We walked through the staff passage and arrived at the back entrance of Ruyi Town's park.

It was almost time for the park to open, and the staff were wearing various ancient costumes and passing by us one after another.

Dressed in studded leather and sporting blue-purple hair, Shaw looked like a time traveler, standing out conspicuously amidst the crowd.

I suddenly felt reluctant to enter the park.

I reluctantly took a couple of steps forward but couldn’t help turning back to emphasize something to Shaw.

MC: I'm going in now. Remember to pick me up when you're done. Shaw: I know, I know...oh, wait.

Shaw suddenly called out to me. Just as I was about to turn around in confusion, I felt my hand suddenly empty.

The mandarin duck sachet had landed securely in his palm. In the distance, the morning sun was just beginning to rise. Under the golden light, Shaw grinned mischievously.

Shaw (starts reciting poetry out of nowhere): ‘The zither stops its tune at the phoenix pillar; the Shu lute is poised to play the mandarin-duck strings.’ I can recite poetry too.

Shaw (full of confidence): The first token of 'lovesickness' is mine.

[Section 2]

MC: Though this humble maiden and the Lovesick Scholar are deeply in love, our statuses are worlds apart, and I am confined to this courtyard. I don’t even know if he’s still waiting for me... sob sob~

MC: If only there were kind-hearted souls willing to help me convey my feelings...

I recited my lines with practiced ease, feigning to dab at the corners of my eyes with a handkerchief, all the while secretly pondering how to drop more hints if the visitors failed to catch on.

Thankfully, this group of tourists was quick-witted. After whispering among themselves for a moment, they came up with an idea.

Tourist A: Uh… Miss, if you have some token of affection, you can give it to us, and we’ll deliver it to the Lovesick Scholar for you.

MC: Oh, thank you, dear strangers! Please take this mandarin duck sachet to him.

MC: Once he sees this sachet, he’ll know what to do.

I handed the sachets to the tourists, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Tourist A: Wow, this task is way too easy, just running errands... Oh, by the way, Miss, can I give you a suggestion? You really shouldn’t stay in the garden—it’s so hard to find you here.

MC: Ahaha, it’s part of the task... uh, I mean, the lord has ordered me to reflect here in the courtyard. This humble maiden has no choice.

Tourist B: If you can only stay in the courtyard, Miss, you could move to the rock garden. At least there’s shade and a place to rest—it’s way better than standing here.

MC: That’s a good idea! Thank you!

After saying goodbye to the tourists, I immediately picked up the cloth bag at my feet and walked towards the rockery.

MC: True, I was being so rigid—why stand there like a fool all day…

After a whole morning of being an NPC, I was already starting to regret it.

I had originally thought being an NPC would be a lot of fun, but after repeating the same performance and lines dozens of times, the novelty had long turned into monotony.

To make things worse, I couldn’t leave my spot. If it hadn’t been for the tourists’ reminder, I might have ended up standing in the garden until the end of time.

Gathering my skirt, I perched on the rocks of the artificial hill and opened my pouch.

—— Mandarin duck sachets, still dozens of them left.

MC: Sigh….

I rubbed my legs, which had started to ache from standing so long, hoping that a big wave of tourists would come soon so I could quickly hand out these sachets.

But after another ten minutes, the only sounds I heard were the laughter and chatter of tourists just beyond the wall. There were no footsteps heading toward the rockery at all.

MC: I don't know if Shaw has finished his work yet…

Without my phone and no tourists around, I was so bored that I could only count the ants beneath my feet and watch the drifting clouds in the sky.

As I sat there, I gradually felt sleepy and leaned against the rockery, feeling a little drowsy.

?.?: ….hey.

In a daze, it seemed like someone patted me on the shoulder.

I only felt that the voice of the visitor sounded somewhat familiar, but after a whole morning of practice, a conditioned reflex made me chant the lines automatically.

MC: Ladies and gentlemen, this humble girl and the Lovesick Scholar share mutual affection. If any kind-hearted person could help convey my feelings...

?.? (in a firm tone): I won't pass it on.

MC: ?!

I quickly opened my eyes and turned around, only to meet those fluttering golden eyes.

I didn’t notice when Shaw had sat down on the rock garden, but his smile was wide and carefree.

He had even changed into a Tang-style round-collared robe, his waist cinched with a jade belt, making his figure appear even taller and more upright.

He hadn’t tied his hair up, instead weaving a few braids, adding an air of unruly charm to the otherwise tidy outfit.

It seemed that no matter what time or space he was in, Shaw remained unconstrained, always being himself.

Shaw (HIS GODLY VOICE ASJHYI): Am I really that good-looking, you didn’t even blink an eye?

MC (shocked): ……!

I just came to my senses from my surprise, the heat instantly spread to my cheeks, and I hurriedly covered them with my fan.

MC (blushing heavily): I was just startled by you, that's all!

MC: Why are you here now?

Shaw: Because I received a mission.

He flipped his palm and an apricot-colored floral sachet appeared in his palm.

The sachet was exquisitely crafted, with jade clasps that made a delicate tinkling sound. It was far superior to the mass-produced mandarin duck sachets I had in my pouch.

Shaw: There is a gentleman named Shaw who is in love with Miss MC and asked me to deliver a token of love to his beloved.

I reached out my hand in a daze and was about to take it, but Shaw suddenly grabbed my wrist.

I was caught off guard and fell into his arms.

The satin rustled, the pearls and jade clinked, yet it was only the faint scent of mint from his collar that still felt familiar.

Shaw (in a low sexy voice): What about Miss MC? Don't you have anything to give him?

MC: I gave you the sachet this morning…

My mumbling was interrupted by Shaw.

Shaw (clicks his tongue): That's someone else's. Shaw (sulking): I want what's mine.

I froze for a moment, instinctively reaching to feel my body.

MC: But I'm wearing a costume and I don't have my own things with me… Shaw (mumbling): You really are an idiot.

Shaw interrupted me again, and the minty scent suddenly became hot.

A kiss, carrying a hint of reprimand, landed on my lips, as if to serve as a reminder and emphasis.

Shaw (HE SOUNDED SO HAPPY HERE): The 'Lovesick Maiden' doesn't count, I only want mine.

The warmth that hadn't fully faded from my face became even more intense. My heart raced, and I pressed my lips together, still tingling from the kiss.

MC (flustered): Th-then I also...

?.?: Didn't they say the Lovesick maiden was in this courtyard? Why don't I see her?

Suddenly, I heard the voices of tourists not far away. I woke up instantly from the beautiful scene and hurriedly broke free from Shaw's arms.

MC: Someone is coming, you go first…

Shaw: I won’t.

Shaw flashed a mischievous smile, gripping my hand tightly, clearly not intending to move an inch.

As the tourists got closer, I hurriedly adjusted my clothes and hair accessories, calling out to greet them.

MC: I am the Lovesick Maiden.

Tourists: Eh?

The tourists looked at me in confusion, then at Shaw beside me, and finally at our clasped hands.

Tourists: Then, who is this gentleman?

MC: He is…

Shaw: I am the one she likes.

Before I could even organize my words, Shaw spoke up first. The tourists across from us were all so surprised that they stared wide-eyed.

Tourist: Huh? Have we triggered a hidden plot?

Tourist: The Lovesick Maiden has a new lover? She doesn't want that scholar anymore?

MC (starts panicking): No! Huh, huh, huh—

Shaw (burst into laughter): Hahahaha!

In an instant, my frantic shout and Shaw's laughter echoed through the courtyard, startling the birds and causing them to take flight.

MLQC Housemates Party

Hello I’m back after… awhile but been wanting to do housemates headcannons

PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY🙏 as they may not lol

Victor - Red, Lucien - Purple, Kiro - Orange, Gavin - Blue, Shaw - Green, MC (You) - Pink

I'm changing MC to where she has a good alcohol tolerance and is a bit of a party girl herself

Okay now onto the actual headcanon

They do parties from casual get togethers to formal events to drinking like they’re in college

Rating: Mature

Casual Get Togethers

Just a few friends and co-workers for holidays, casual birthdays, and regular cookouts

Victor is normally the cook for this with the help of Gavin

Gavin is such a grill type of man

They’ll cook as friends are coming over with a movie playing

In the summer they have pool parties

Lucien would be in charge of taking photos of Kiro in his swim trunks to post online for later, gotta feed the fans

When they have a get together in the house there will be a few drinking games

Truth or Drink goes crazy because I know for sure none of the housemates except for MC will answer really personal questions

"Body count?" "Craziest drunken experience?" "Have you ever had a wet dream about MC?"

After that truth or drink wasn't allowed to be played anymore in the future

If it's just the housemates sitting around doing games then they'll be slightly more open

At the end when friends leaves, MC falls asleep on the couch with one cuddling her and the others continuing their conversation

“I’m telling you there’s a raccoon going through our trash.”

“We either call animal control or get rid of it ourselves.”

“Hey, you guys leave Chunky King Bob alone!”

“Great he’s named it…”

Formal Events

They have a whole mansion that's big enough to do an actual formal event

Victor and Kiro are normally the host as it’s kinda required for their reputation

Honestly, both wouldn't do them if they didn't feel obligated for work

Victor, Lucien, Kiro, and MC are the planning committee

Sorry Gavin doesn't have the imagination for this and Shaw is lazy

They'll hold meetings in Victor's office or in the dining room

Most of the time it's a black-tie event but a few times it's themed

The entire house goes on a cleaning rampage the days before

Victor punishes anyone who slacks off by making them wash the dirty garbage cans outside

Really Shaw’s punishment most of the time

Also I know Victor is going to be some animal in heat seeing you all dolled out

Just seeing the jewelry set he bought you decorating your neck and ears is doing something to this poor man

As you're getting ready before the guests start showing, he comes in your room to "check on things" but will just watch you get dress

Slow makeout session happens and when someone knocks, he'll leave pretending like he really was checking on things

"MC have you see my blue tie? Huh, Victor what're you doing?"

"Checking to make sure MC did her tasks."

You're just standing there flushed

Be prepared to be starstruck by the number of celebrities you'll see for Kiro's big birthday event

Lucien and Gavin will sneak you out of there to get alone time separately

"It's stuffy in here."

"Let's go get some fresh air."

You'll be out with them for a while having personal conversations that both of you lose track of time

Their eyes staring so lovingly into yours, never breaking eye contact, hands holding yours or rubbing your sides

THE TRIANGLE METHOD (EYES, LIPS, EYES) PLS LET ME OUT OF MY CAGE

More slow makeout sessions and boy do they want to keep going for the rest of the party

Like the Bachelorette when they have the one one-on-one convos

If Kiro or Victor find out they'll be the most grumpy toward you, imagine a pet that's giving you the silent treatment for not feeding them a third time

"While I had to have meaningless conversations with everyone, I wanted to be with you. Seems you didn't care."

Give the pouty idol your undivided attention for the next couple of hours and he'll immediately forgive you but good luck on Victor

To the housemates, it's a genuine mystery on where Shaw goes in the middle of the event

They'll see him but a second later he's gone missing for the next couple of hours

“Where’s Shaw?”

“I thought he was with you…”

“I thought he was with Gavin.”

“You need me? Did everyone leave already?”

“What the-”

“It’s been three hours.”

Clubbing/Partying

Normally all of you won't go partying together, even if someone invites the housemates out, only a few will go

Gavin, Kiro, and Shaw are always out with you having a blast

I don't ever see Victor or Lucien coming out for these

High levels of socializing and drinking just aren't them and they'll barely talk to each other while everyone's gone

Gavin is the DD (designated driver) and sober dad

Think of the meme with the dad having his children on the backpack leashes going in the opposite direction, that's him but with 3 adults

Kiro will be dancing with you, or drunk rants to someone while Shaw is doing beer pong

Shaw loves being by your side and his hand wrapped around rested on your hip

As much as Gavin and Shaw don't get along, Gavin always checks on Shaw and steps in the way if some drunks try to pick a fight

Back to the house, you're drunk along with Kiro, jumping practically off the walls

Victor and Lucien trying to get yall to drink water

You'll sing praises to everyone about Gavin taking care of everyone

When you're lying in bed, Shaw will sneak in to sleep with you

"Feeling lonely?"

"No, knowing you, you'll wake up hungover. Going to need someone to hold back your hair when you're yaking."

He'll never say the real reason to just cuddle

The only times all housemates go out to party and drink is the rare clubbing occasions

Normally high end clubs

Everyone dressed in their clubbing/partying outfits

The boys will wear nice button ups or plain t-shirts with pants that will go along while you wear a backless top and miniskirt

In the club they’ll reserve a table…for the Li family? so they can immediately sit down and start drinking

We all know Lucien says he’s a good drinker but he’s really not as he doesn’t space out his shots

You’re not helping as it’s shot o’clock every 30 minutes with you

“For going out! For finishing the week! For housemates bonding!”

“Okay, I think that’s enough. Also, Lucien you don’t have to keep taking the shots.”

“Haha, I’m fine.”

Takes a lot of pleading from all of you to have Gavin and Victor drink up (sober dads on break)

From there on things ramp up!!!

Everyone loosens up a lot and have the funniest conversations

Talking about inside jokes to personal stories

Later on the dance floor you’ll be grinding on one of them then the next and making out

The types of drunks: Lucien - possessive drunk, Kiro - happy drunk, Shaw - funny drunk, Victor - horny drunk, Gavin - crying drunk

Lucien’s Ares side come out a lot more that he just wants to be in your embrace and no one touches you

Takes a while for you to calm him down and let the others be near you

“Why did you let him kiss you?”

“Lucien, you also did too. It wouldn’t be fair to the others. Let’s all have fun.”

Kiro is the type to legit constantly compliment anyone and give some motivation speech as if they’re about to jump off a cliff

“Youu’re soo handsome and kind b-but I feel you don’t even know it.”

Shaw’s jokes are so perfectly timed with his expressions that everyone’s sides hurt from laughing, funny how he’s so calm when he says it

“I’m one drink closer to getting a tramp stamp.”

Victor isn’t a big fan on PDA but now he wants you to give him a lap dance mid club and says the dirtiest stuff

Even Lucien and Victor are at war while drunk

“You love the feeling of rubbing yourself against me.”

Poor Gavin has so much regret that he starts pouring out normally to Kiro about wishing he did things differently

“When I left I should have had-had more courage to tell her what I felt but I did not-I didn’t.”

“I get what you’re feeling! Trust me ev-everything has been working out. Like you’re here with Miss Chips getting wasted!!”

Ride share dropping all of you back home still drunk but trying to sober up, everyone is seriously tripping over themselves, laughing controllably

Trying to drink water and devour leftovers

After awhile everyone decides except Victor to sleep in his room because he has the biggest and comfiest bed

As everyone is falling asleep curled up to MC or snuggled in the comforter they knock out
