Oh my god Xie Lian looks SOOOO cute here!!!

Awkward...

(Except for anyone who had a birthday in Feb and also Valentine's Day ❤️)

Yay!! March is here!!! February can go blow itself!! 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

I'll probably make another thread (shorter this time!!) about how they end up sharing Binghe's cabin tomorrow lol (where there is only one bed....)

*smooch*

(Not pictured: the stool gege stood on to reach HCs face)

YEAH Binghe def starts behaving in a way too that most people would be like "...this is strange right??? this is shady right???" But its Shen Yuan so naturally he is colorblind to the blaring red flags

ALSO ☝️ im totally aware that a lot of this from like. the Legal Justice standpoint is probably super inaccurate and I don't think youtube truecrime channels can just go. Interfere with official evidence but I DON'T CARE i just want Binghe and Shen Yuan to make out in front of a pretty lake

ok im leaving it there for right now, i have many more thoughts and things but Im v hungry and my hands are freaking cold!!!!

soup and a steaming plate of rice... so maybe, he thinks, the cold case could wait, just a bit longer.

police and file a report. For heavens sake, someone *died*, so why *shouldn't* Shen Yuan turn in the information if it could help solve this decade old mystery?! He should! He should go right now! But also, at the same time, Luo Binghe just finished making him the most mouthwatering bowl of

goes live on stream sometimes, but they're never about the case- it's always him and Lbh visiting cute spots in town or admiring the breathtaking view of nearby lakes and mountains. He's stalling, deep down he knows it, but everyday he finds himself making an excuse of why he shouldn't go to the

they just sit outside Lbh's cabin by the firepit, sharing stories or simply enjoying each others company, it's more enjoyable than any day Sy spent behind his computer screen. He still hasn't made his video yet, or gone to law enforcement, despite his abundance of new evidence. He posts clips and

with the emotional high of finding lead after lead, he's never had so much fun before! Why hadn't he tried doing field work before?! The town is undoubtedly small yet he and Binghe still find something fun to do everyday! (after their work of course!) It's strange too- that even on the days where

Shen Yuan can't believe this- it's too good to be true! He's only been here for a few weeks but he's finding more evidence than even the government was able to find! Were he and Luo Binghe THAT good or did the government just suck?!? He thinks it must be a bit of both. He realizes too that along

a trail for them to follow together! ❤️ Making sure that every time Sy fears the trail is growing cold, another hint will drop just in time, so Sy feels he has no choice but to stay!

The logical part of Lbh's brain knows this is stupid, but the emotional part is on overdrive. He's never wanted anyone like he has Shen Yuan, to feel him, to know him- so now he determines he needs to do whatever he can to make him stay. He begins to slowly and discreetly drop hints of the murder,

Suddenly his desire to turn Sy's life into rubble has become an overwhelming need to keep him as close as possible. Now everytime Sy mentions "when I get home" or "once I leave" an incredibly sour taste fills Lbh's mouth. Why leave? Is Sy not having as much fun as he is? Does he not like him at all?

kind of like a spoiled and pampered cat. Cute, graceful, and very fussy. It turns into a personal game to see what he can say or do to get Sy's cheeks to turn that wonderful shade of red. A week passes and Luo Binghe is completely smitten.

Thinking of different ways to get rid of the "journalist" but the more time he spends with him, the more he feels something he's never felt before. This guy is so... sweet? And genuine? But he's also a little bit of a brat, Lbh realizes. On the fourth day of "investigating" he concludes that Sy is

rolls into town, Lbh is ready to get his hands dirty if need be. This one is rather cute though, he thinks, so it would be a shame to kill him. Perhaps he could find a way to ruin his reputation? Expose some sort of scandal or blackmail him? The few days he spends with Sy he finds himself constantly

covering his tracks and had no intention of getting caught. He didn't particularly enjoy killing, but viewed it as a necessity- as long as he got to remain in his nice cabin in the woods and continue being adored by the locals, he would do whatever needed to be done. So when ANOTHER nuisance

waves, trying to sus out what happened themselves. It took some time and some practice, but with the help of his two... comrades, Mobei Jun and Sha Hualing, they were able to shut up most people for good, if they ever even found out "too much" in the first place. Luo Binghe was incredibly good at

It was him! Back when he was in his late teens he off'd the old man and never looked back. Thanks to his superb acting skills and irresistible charm (and a rock solid alibi) not a single person suspected him of being the killer. It was easy until those dumbass social media freaks kept coming in

desperate for answers. Sy thanks his lucky stars bc now he has a local, one with such connection and sway within the town, helping him out! What poor Sy doesnt realize though is Lbh isn't helping out bc he's a sad little lamb, looking for who killed his former teacher, he's well aware of who did it!

This gorgeous man is called Luo Binghe, and is practically the backbone of the town. He was once the protoge of the old mayor and was completely devastated by his death. While the other townspeople turned away from anyone who came to the town in search of answers, Lbh was always drawn to them-

Then it's nothing but dirty looks and a cold shoulder. Sy wants to kick himself, he's already shot himself in the foot before he even got it through the door. But luck seems to be on his side when the most beautiful man Sy has ever seen (he said, straightly) approaches him in the diner one night!

there's got to be something that was overlooked. So, he packs up all his gear and sets off to make the video of the year (maybe decade!) by reporting live in Huan Hua Lake. The town is cozy, quaint, and rather antiquated. The townsfolk are friendly and obliging- until he starts to ask questions

legend, but a curse. Shen Yuan, however, doesn't believe in legends or curses. He's convinced that with a few hundred true crime report videos under his belt that HE can find something the others couldn't- he's not brash enough to think he could actually solve the case- but he's certain that
