Xie Lian returned to Qiandeng Temple in Ghost City, where Hua Cheng was supposed to be in, practising his calligraphy. However, from a distance he saw him just outside, talking to some other ghosts and monsters. They looked strange. Now, to say Ghost City's ghost and monsters looked strange didn't mean anything.
Xie Lian kept looking, finding a few common traits; they all had human features, with bloated lips and cheeks and with a shiny complexion. They used makeup, not the kind to give the face a little extra; rather it got the features even more distorted, like theatre makeup. Their bodies also seemed unnatural, bulging too much at certain places.
Their clothes and accessories vaguely feminine, only too glittery, too enhancing, too revealing, too much; no woman in her right mind would dress like that. In spite of that, they were all tall, with big hands and deep voices, definitely of a male persuasion.
Hua Cheng saw Xie Lian and smiled, and the ghosts and monsters, seeing him approaching, made their excuses with exaggerate gesturing, and left.
Hua Cheng opened his arms to greet him with the customary "Gege."
Xie Lian was curious, and asked, "Who are they, San Lang?", letting Hua Cheng hold him.
"Oh they have businesses in Ghost City."
"What kind of businesses? How come I never saw them around?", Xie Lian asked, but immediately regretted. He didn't want to sound like he was meddling; also, what if it was something he'd rather not know?
But Hua Cheng just answered lightly, "Oh it's nothing unseemly Gege. You can say it's like a sing, dance and comedy show. I can take you to see it one of these days."
Then Hua Cheng let go of him and held his hand, saying, "Come and see my practice. I worked hard today Gege.", he said with his fake good boy expression.
Xie Lian knew Hua Cheng was going to keep making advances and claim him as a prize for his efforts at the calligraphy practice. 'Hum, at least he gets to do the calligraphy...', he thought, knowing deep in his heart that Hua Cheng didn't need to do anything to claim him as his prize.
He smiled and happily followed Hua Cheng inside the temple.
Gege San Lang has worked hard! 😉
