Summary: There's an old man at the temple with a dark look in his eyes, and Shi Qingxuan doesn't want to admit to themself why it's so familiar.
I'm pretty happy with it, but it will make no sense if you haven't read Heaven Official's Blessing and be no fun if you don't ship the pairing.

Feels good to be DONE, I haven't finished anything lengthy in AGES. And this is pretty lengthy, I've never written anything over 100K before! Or anything quite so sexually explicit, for that matter (It's super tame, my stuff is just usually even tamer haha)

One of my reasons for writing this fic was that none of the other enemies to lovers slow burn fics I'd read for the pairing quite hit the spot, so my philosophy was to just wallow in whatever emotions the characters were feeling until I didn't feel like wallowing in them any more. That turned to out to take quite a while, but was pretty satisfying.
