Ngl, I mostly signed up for this one because I was absolutely shocked to see 0 fics for this pair on AO3 (platonic) and would like to fix that! They're canonically friends!!
I've introduced the fandom and SQX in an earlier post but going to add that Shi Qingxuan is very outgoing and loves making friends. If his brother and his friends are the Mean Girls of Heaven, then SQX is the It Girl of Heaven!
Yushi Huang meanwhile is the calm reclusive Rain Master who simply does what she's supposed to and doesn't get involved in outside matters unless something serious happens. She spends her days on a farm and has a cool Ox familiar. Shortly after we meet her, we learn that she and Shi Qingxuan are friends.
They don't get to interact directly in canon unfortunately, but at one point in the story SQX hides out at her farm and the dialogue from the character who comes to pick him up suggests that SQX hiding out at her farm is a regular occurrence. Which just makes me think of all the times SQX would visit either to hide out or just to check up on a friend, and how YSH probably looks forward to these visits in her own way. Both of these characters are beloved by everyone in-story but both have very few deeper connections with others and I just think its very nice that they enjoy each other's company.
I want all the stories of them hanging out and SQX bringing over various gifts and trying to figure out what kinds of things YSH would like, and YSH always giving him fresh produce to take home (Meanwhile the designated babysitter waits at the entrance to the farm and scowls)
