Thread of instances where A-Xu’s warmth and words hit Lao Wen the hardest, bc his ability to love is something that makes me cry on a daily basis:

1. EP12: When he recognized that just bc Lao Wen might have done some bad things, it doesn’t necessarily make him a bad person.
(im putting them in chronological order)

2. EP17: When he said that he isn’t leaving.

For me, this wasn’t just him talking about not leaving at that very moment but rather, a promise that he’d stay with Lao Wen for as long as he can.
3. EP23: When he said that he didn’t want to see Lao Wen’s hands covered in any more blood.

This was the first time someone openly showed concerned over WKX’s wellbeing and put him first, thinking about things from his perspective rather than simply saying “killing = bad”.
4. EP25: When he offered Lao Wen a place to call home.

For someone like WKX, who planned to die for his revenge, who had no plans for a future because he didn’t think he’d ever have one, to have ZZS offer him a place to call home is just... beyond anything he could imagine.
5. EP27: When he was willing to die along with Lao Wen.

Not only did he defend Lao Wen despite knowing his “true” identity, he was also entirely willing to accompany him in death. For the first time, WKX has someone unequivocally on his side, a person to call his.
6. EP32: When he went against the entire Jianghu to stand at Lao Wen’s side.

With a simple “save it”, he was able to let Lao Wen know that it doesn’t matter what he does or what he says, he’d always be on his side and nothing will ever change that fact.
7. EP36: When he told Lao Wen that he’s the reason he wants to live longer.

He’s literally saying that WKX is his entire reason to live, who can resist that? Especially when A-Xu also happens to be Lao Wen’s reason for living? Forget dying for e/o, live for each other instead.

A-Xu really knows the perfect things to say to Wen Kexing every single time, and it kills me that he’s such a warm character with so much love to give to someone who grew up with very little love. They make me so freaking emo all the time, I cant handle the feels...
