Shen Qingqiu(you) have begrudgingly agreed to spend time with Shang Qinghua. He wasn't your favorite person but you could deal with him a little more now. He wasn't a bad person, and you know why he wrote PIDW the way he did so you're less mad. Though still critical. Recently he had given you a new novel he's worked on and is publishing in this world. You must say, the writing and story quality is much better.

Right now, the two of you are gossiping about whatever you can think of. Drinking tea and just complaining about this and that and the other. Shang Qinghua, being from your homeland as well often is able to relate to your struggles and it's nice to not make shit up to talk about your problems. As well as asking him about what the fuck he was thinking adding some of the things he did. (As well as maybe poking fun at how Luo Binghe now has one husband and everyone around them is gay asf).

"Yeah, so basically that's it." he rambled something or other, you half-listened.

"Bitch, are you ignoring me?" Shang Qinghua asks with a sarcastic scowl.
