giving xue yang an evil ancestor was such a copout in the drama BUT the throwaway detail that he was the one who tamed the evil tortoise.... xue yang Weirdly Good With Reptiles Guy
the first time xiao xingchen sleeps over he stumbles into the bathroom at like 2am and there& #39;s just a whole ass iguana in the bathtub. blinking hatefully at him.
he also keeps beardies and raises feeder roaches for them, becomes The Roach Guy for all other nearby reptile and invert people
im torn between song lan has a cornsnake (which reluctantly makes xue yang start to like him) versus song lan keeps tarantulas and xue yang is his roach guy so they have to interact but sharing a boyfriend is difficult and the Tension when song lan stops by ,
im now thinking about xue yang keeping all the roaches that get picked on/chewed on for No Reason Fuck Off Xingchen and giving them lavish tanks and spoiling them with fruit. his house is full of them. its a test he does with hookups; if youre grossed out by them he kicks you out
(xiao xingchen got excited and asked if he could hold them. xue yang never stood a chance)
