Mmm, been mentally rotating this AU some more -- the one where Shen Jiu comes back, yeah?
First thing that happens is Shen Jiu telling poor, baffled (and painfully hopeful) Yue Qingyuan that he WILL talk, but.... perhaps not while they’re still walking up the mountainside. He also doesn’t object when Yue Qingyuan grabs his wrist -- to verify a few things. Yue’s painfully hopeful, but not stupid. It’s true very, very few people would know to call him Qi-ge, but that doesn’t exclude the possibility that this person could be any number of malicious entities. Thankfully, that’s not the case.
When they’re in private, Shen Jiu is incredibly apprehensive. He’s been steeling himself for this encounter for several years now, but that doesn’t make it any easier or even particularly pleasant. First things first, they exchange information about the past twelve years. Frankly, Shen Jiu demands to know what the hell’s been happening here.
He is, uh, aware of “The Regret of Chunshan” and desperately WISHES he weren’t. Yue Qingyuan’s explanation does nothing to make him wish otherwise, but ultimately...... Shen Jiu determines that, whatever mess that imposter made of his reputation, so be it. That’s their shame now. Even if they hadn’t completely defiled it, he’s washed his hands of the name “Shen Qingqiu” and the wretched body that went with it.
This surprises Yue Qingyuan, but... so long as that’s what he wants...? Yet, before YQY can start trying to muddle through their own issues, Shen Jiu cuts him off--but not in the way he used to. He asks through gritted teeth if the abuse & humiliation he received at the Qiu household was his done by his hand. No? Then don’t take blame that isn’t yours. It’s tiring.
Shen Jiu is still very, very curt with him about these things. He still doesn’t want to talk about it, but realises that Yue Qingyuan will be damned annoying if he doesn’t address it now. And, besides he isn’t as angry anymore. He just wants it to be over, so he never has to touch the subject again. But they both need to move on for that to happen.
So, he tolerates Yue Qingyuan’s lil guilty song and dance as best he can; admittedly his tolerance isn’t great. But that he’s willing to listen at all is an improvement! Ultimately, I think, Shen Jiu tells him that if he wants his forgiveness, then Qi-ge* has to forgive himself first. What’s happened, happened. Shen Jiu has... come to terms, somewhat, with things and that he was not a good person. May still not be. Yet, he’d like to move forward.
And, to do that, he needs the sect leader’s support not his apologies. Shen Jiu would like to rejoin Cang Qiong mountain as a disciple. New body, new name. Rather, for the sake of formality & pretenses, he’d prefer if his past identity was kept between them and perhaps a few select others. He wants to start over.
Accepting this for the time being, Yue Qingyuan wants to be... a little selfish. If he may. He’s missed his shidi so much. Get hugged, maybe?? Stiffly, awkwardly. Get hugged.
*(Shen Jiu does, yes, still hate using their old names. Yet, he is aware of their effect)
