hei xiazi looking serious in black leather and sunglasses. don't let that fool you the man is a simp okay, he's a soggy wifeguy xie yuchen looking badass in tactical gear with a knife. he truly is a terrifying merciless crime boss, and yet his jacket has a strip of petal pink on it because he will also always be the prettiest elf in any given tomb/cave/underground situation. also ji xiaobing can fucking get it

Liu Yuhan as Xie Yuchen looking annoyed while Liu Yuning as Hei Xiazi smiles at him, overlaid with a text conversation that says: Q: Do I make you hard? A: You make everything difficult, yes Liu Yuhan as Xie Yuchen and Liu Yuning as Hei Xiazi , overlaid with a tumblr text post that says, "big big BIG fan of couples who are a package deal but in an evil way. ur not getting one without the other and that's a threat" A blindfolded Xie Yuchen (Liu Yuhan) smacking Hei Xiazi (Liu Yuning), in the stomach with a baton, overlaid with a tumblr text post that says, "My favorite genre of gay people is 'They didn't have bdsm sex onscreen but, bdsm elements are always lurking in the corner and haunting the narrative through thinly veiled visual metaphorical implication.'"
