Shi Qingxuan had thought it would be easy, walking up the mountain path to bring her brother his dinner and fetch him home. She hadn't realised that the way would be so confusing, or guessed she'd meet somebody along the way.
➜ inspired by roland bloodletter's opus pantingbed, this is a tgcf fic that shows a possible different first meeting between hx and sqx
➜ both are children, sqx in her era of living as a girl while her brother cultivates, hx a child in an ordinary village who doesn't quite fit in
➜ I love the way it shows what kind of people they both are as children, both recognisable as the people they'll become, but hx still able to hope, and trust, and reach out for potential good things
➜ and then the ENDING!! ahhhh!!!
