her birth parents decide to abandon her near Cang Qiong mountain and a few disciples find her whilst on a mission, and bring her to Cang Qiong feeling it wrong to abandon a baby like that.
Shen Jiu oddly enough, decides to take her in on behalf of Qing Jing peak and is surprisingly good at caring for her!
Shen Jiu absolutely loves this baby, much to everyone's surprise and like. yeah Ning Yingying is literally Shen Jiu's daughter!
bonus LiuJiu:
Liu Qingge gives her candy and the monsters he hunts (she's less flattered by the monsters but still thankful nonetheless). He figures it's good to get his future husband's daughter's approval first (or that's what MingYan told him was a good idea).
“Hi baby.” Shen Qingqiu cooed at the infant. He was a bit embarrassed at how easily he melted around Yingying, but she was his daughter, and he figured he was allowed.
This time, however, he’d forgotten where he was. In the middle of a peak lord meeting, surrounded by wide-eyed, incredulous stares.
“Do you think he realizes we’re here?” Wei Qingwei mused loudly, wincing at a kick he got from one of his martial brothers.
“Shut up! Do you want him to?”
Qi Qingqi was usually never speechless, but today, it seemed she did not have any sour words in her for Shen Qingqiu, who she always passionately loathed. Her mouth was catching flies.
Most others seemed to feel the same. Liu Qingge sat frozen in his seat, staring. Yue Qingyuan seemed startled and…oddly wistful.
Shen Qingqiu was in his own little world. “Oh my goodness, you’re so chubby…” he lightly pinched at Ning Yingying’s little cheeks and gasping in delight when she let out a little squeal of delight.
“This has to be a hallucination,” Mu Qingfang muttered to himself, eyes wide. “Were we poisoned?”
Ning Yingying caught her adoptive father’s finger in her tiny fist and shoved it in her mouth, drooling happily all over it. Shen Qingqiu just laughed.
Meanwhile, a certain Shang Qinghua sat in his chair with his head in his hands as he mourned the death of the canon universe.
Teenage Liu Qingge time travels to the future. Let’s say The Abyss Years (TM), as any good LiuShen story does. And who does he meet there, SQQ, of course.
Of course, this is SY, and not SJ, but LQG doesn’t know that! He’s amazed at how nice he’s being to him! And SY is just enjoying having a cute baby version of LQG around. SY smiles at him and he gets all red! He’ll never get a girlfriend like that, SY thinks to himself.
LQG goes back to his time with one very important thought- that SJ can be that nice to spend time with if LQG only was able to befriend him! Somehow! Did I say this was LiuShen? I’m sorry, this is LiuJiu!
Meanwhile, while teenaged LQG was hanging around SY, adult LQG was hanging around teenaged SJ, who does not want to have to entertain the peak lord from the future. Unfortunately, social niceties (and his Shizun) are forcing his hand, so here he is, spending the day with him.
And the adult version of LQG is being so nice to him?? Taking his bitchy comments, bringing up monsters for him to lecture about. He never really cared about monsters like that, but it was kinda nice to have someone actually listen to him for once.
So when teenaged LQG gets back, him and SJ just look at each other and think, “Why can’t you be like the other one?”
Man’s then something something, character development, LQG falling in love with SJ and his character traits and not just the ones he saw in SY, blah blah blah. I like time travel and I like stories that force these two to get along for five minutes lol
Also. Adult LQG, after spending a day with teenaged SJ, spends five minutes with SY and in entirety convinced that this is a new person. Clocks it immediately now that he has a fresh reference. Not that he cares or anything! This version of LQG is in love with SY, not SJ after all.
But he does wish that the other man would confide in him. He spends the next few years trying to ‘subtly’ hint to SY that he already knows his big secret! Go ahead and tell him the truth!
SY spends those years freaking out over what LQG might know.

Liu Qingge's eyebrow is raised in question, and he is sitting back straight with his hands on his thighs, mouth open mid-sentence. Shen Qingqiu is looking at him, face obscured from the viewer, body mostly relaxed. end ID]
