Hahahaha!

[ He picks up another book, this one featuring mermaids.


...


The fish part is the top half. Yeah, he's going to return that one to the stack. he'll look at it later ]

Heavens, no! You're a pure maiden! A white lotus flower! This sort of thing would sully your mind!

[queenofminiskirts]

No way! I'm a real expert on these kinds of books you know!

[...wait.]

I mean...these kinds of books are normal! Don't talk about them like they're weird!

[espritdecorpse]

[ He lifts up a new book. Judging from the cover, it seems to be about werewolves. It has the letters A/B/O on the front, too. Who knows what that means? Anyway wolves are scary, so he drops that one and reaches for another. ]

Normal! In what way are they normal?

[queenofminiskirts]

I just meant...dirty books in general. Every teenager has hidden them between textbooks and under their beds...or whatever.

[These ones were pretty weird though, she had to admit.]

[espritdecorpse]

Pffffft! Hahahaha! I can't deny it, I did too!

[ He waves his new book at her. ]

In fact.... haha! I used to know this very stuffy boy, the most straight-laced, rules-obsessed person you'll ever meet in your life. I substituted his book of poetry with a book like this. You should have seen it! I thought he was going to die on the spot! Hahahaha!

[queenofminiskirts]

[She can't keep pouting when he told that story.]

I've done that too! But it was [A ghost.] This guy who was going to help tutor me, but I wanted to test him so I picked out the only dirty book in their entire library. It got confiscated but then I got to explain to Kazura why Kagari was slouching. Hahaha...her reaction was the best! Kagari was so mad at me for doing that... {Which was also hilarious.]

[espritdecorpse]

Hahaha!

[ You're a kindred spirit, Maiden Kaoru. He starts to laugh some more until — ]

Wait, you... literally explained why.....?

[ He's at a loss for words. Even when his teasing of that particular classmate reached its height, he never would have been so bold as to... ]

[queenofminiskirts]

[Different times, Wei Wuxian.]

I only whispered it in her ear. That way he won't know exactly what I said. [And that was the beauty of it.] I'm pretty sure Kagari was pretty mad at me after that.

[If only someone had told her Kazura had gone on to ask pretty much EVERYONE in Pandra about it...] I was doing him a favour, really.

[espritdecorpse]

[ Maidens Kaoru and Shiho both are going to be the death of him one day. ]

Ahaha. Right. I was...doing Lan Wangji a favor too.

[ He opens the next book. The main characters seem to be entirely animals. Actually, no. Not quite animals. Their bodies and faces are almost human in appearance, it's just that they have ears, a tail, and a thick coat of fur. He turns the page... ]

[espritdecorpse]

[ ...


He's frozen, unable to move, just staring at the cursed pages. ]

[queenofminiskirts]

They should thank us!

[But then he freezes and. Hm. Wonder what that was about. She moves over and peers over his shoulder.]

...these books are kinkier than I expected.

[espritdecorpse]

[ Finally he summons the wherewithal to snap the book shut. ]

Right. Hahaha!

[ And then he.... gathers up all the books and puts them in in qiankun sack. ]

Better put them away, so they don't.... bother the innocent, haaa.

[ Yes, he's going to take all of these home and...............definitely not read them in private. Oh no. ]

[queenofminiskirts]

[Is he going to read them in public then?]

Don't forget you promised to lend me one!

[...he did no such thing but she's going to hold him to it anyway.]

[espritdecorpse]

[ He distinctly remembers refusing. On the other hand... she had said something interesting, earlier... ]

You mentioned that you were an expert in these things. Could it be that you have your own collection? I’m not willing to just let you borrow one, but I might be willing to consider a trade.

[ There’s obviously no way she’d admit to owning something like this herself. ]

[queenofminiskirts]

Is that really something you should ask a maiden?

[Anyone else, and she wouldn't admit it. But he's like her: someone who can appreciate these things! They're practically two peas in a pod at this point! If there's anyone she'd be shameless about admitting to this to, it'd be this guy.]

Buuuut, I guess this is the better idea. This way, I don't have worry I might be holding something you already had a fun time with.

[espritdecorpse]

[ He starts to chuckle. He really has managed to embarrass her—with her own words, no less. ]

Hahahaha—

[espritdecorpse]

—HRRRRK!

[ He chokes.




Seriously, this girl is going to be the death of him. ]

[queenofminiskirts]

[She crossed her arms and she looks positively smug at his reaction.] What? No need to be shy now. We both know guys don't read these things for the plot.

[espritdecorpse]

[ After his initial shock, he just starts to laugh. If he’d met a girl like Kaoru when he was a boy……. they’d have been unstoppable. He thinks back to his days at the Cloud Recesses. What fun they could have had, causing havoc and teasing people. Why, with her powers, she could yank on a person’s forehead ribbon or steal their clothes at the bath, and no one would be able to do anything… ]

Hahahah. Okay! Come over whenever you like, when you’ve got something to trade. And then afterwards…….

[ He grins. ]

We should figure out some way to, ah, distribute them to others. I feel guilty, hoarding all this wealth. Haha!

[queenofminiskirts]

[They'd have had a blast and been a huge headache for everyone else, honestly.

She laughs along with him.]

Hmmmm...I don't know. Maybe I'm just greedy but I don't feel like sharing. [Pause. Then she grins.] But you know...Damian would probably be really mad if we put up something like this on the community board.
