Summary:
<blockquote>It’s a little ridiculous, really, the things that make Ming Fan happy. They’re so small. A single word of praise from a teacher; being picked first to shoulder a responsibility; a smile and a touch from Zhao De.
It’s painfully obvious how Ming Fan feels about Zhao De, and it always has been. Ming Fan has a paper face, and can’t hide what he feels to save his life. Zhao De has always known. And honestly? He doesn’t particularly care. Or, no; it’s a little funny, actually. To be able to make him flush with happiness or wilt with disappointment with such very little effort, to always have him eating out of his hand and so eager to please. It’s too easy, really, but easy is fun sometimes.
Useful, too, when he’s the Head Disciple of Qing Jing now. For as long as that might last.
Maybe Zhao De should reward him for making himself so useful?

Zhao De shows Ming Fan a bad good time.</blockquote>
➤ yikes (complimentary)
➤ Ming Fan/OMC, where the OC is another disciple on Qing Jing Peak
➤ it's truly impressively horrible, the pov of this awful bully who manipulates Ming Fan into misery and encourages Ming Fan in all of his own worst bullying tendencies
➤ it's so well and believably done, and so compelling!
➤ mind the author's tags on this one, it means what it says. I enjoyed the fic a lot but it's not a pleasant fic!
