Xiao Xingchen, I've heard that the locals celebrate this date by exchanging gifts with their friends. In lieu of a physical item, I'd like to share an old folktale from my home that reminded me a little of you - I hope you enjoy it.

[As expected of the head of a scholar's peak, Shen Qingqiu is an excellent storyteller. His voice ebbs and flows as he narrates the legend of a boy growing up in a cultivator's village who unbeknownst to him had a fox spirit sealed within him as an infant, the struggles he faced as he sought to prove himself and master his power, the quests he undertook and friends he made along the way....

...yeah, it's fucking Naruto. An incredibly bastardized, non-copyright violating, ancient magical China version of Naruto. This is actually the fifth recording Shen Qingqiu's done, because he was laughing too hard the first four times to get through the whole story. He does feel a little bad giving such a trollish gift, so Xiao Xingchen will also find a hongbao with twenty solars slid underneath his door. Merry Christmas!]

( xingchen, for his part, listens quite avidly to the tale, even as it stretches on at surprising length. the storytellers of shen qingqiu's homeland must be profoundly skilled, to have passed such a tale along by word of mouth, though he has no doubt that shen qingqiu has embellished quite a bit as well.

once the message is finished and he's had a few moments to let it all sink in, he sends an audio response of his own: ) My friend, that was quite an extraordinary tale, and you told it so vividly. ( all with a buzz of something like muted delight, his poorly-suppressed grin quite audible in his tone. it has been quite a while since he has heard so unique and compelling a tale! ) Were you a storyteller, in your realm?
