he tian: just be yourself! say something nice
mo guan shan: which one? i cant do both.
mo guan shan: *crying*
he tian: what happaned!? did somebody hurt you? tell me, i swear i'm gonna kill them-
mo guan shan: i'm just cutting onions.
he tian, at night: listen here, you stupid onion-
after the fight
redhead's over 30, and he still sweats blood — mom is already 54, now it's difficult for her to work as much as before. they live in a cheap shitty apartment on the outskirts of the city. guan shan knows perfectly well how dangerous these streets can be, but he can't do anything about it. he just needs money. they need.
one night mo notices an unconcious man lying next to a garbage dump. it's dark and windy, so redhead decides to help, before anything happens to this poor guy.
the thing is, something has already happened.

mo guan shan doesn't understand what's going on. he is hot, and cold, and exhausted, and hungry... and that vile noise in the back of his mind. guan shan thinks he is going to die. guan shan hopes his mother will get out of this filthy hole and live a happy long life.
_
eventually, he's still almost fine. his mom seems ok with black shiny tendrils appearing right out of his skin all the fucking time, she's ok with a bloody alien parasite living inside of her son and dating (?) him. sometimes it seems to redhead that she likes this chickendick better than him. charming bastard.
tian doesn't like to work or deal with other people without chopping off their heads, but for the sake of a separate apartment with good sound isolation and for his other, he is ready to do anything.
the end?.. a little crumpled, but i tried really hard, because english is not my first language🖤
i think sometimes oldxian forgets that he tian is only 15-16 years old...
i understand your anticipation, but I'm almost sure that in the next chapter they won't pierce mo guan shan's ear because they don't have an earring. they could have gone to the store, but redhead's in such a terrible state right now... he tian simply won't let him go.
imagine what would happen to he tian if she li had actually killed guan shan then...
although he tian wrote that he is ready to be a leash for guan shan, it is tian who is more like a dog. he follows mo everywhere and is ready to protect his redhead, even if he has to sacrifice something of his own/himself.
tian is attached to shan like a dog to its master.
