[ it is rare, that rinne answers hua cheng's questions honestly and without humor. hua cheng appreciates it, for the opportunity that it is—a chance to understand rinne a little better, even if he isn't being fully invited inside. ]
I can understand that.
[ obviously, being a ghost king is quite different than being an idol, but hua cheng can at least relate to the fear of living a life devoid of meaning, and to the desire to have the freedom to choose that meaning for yourself. ]
Do you feel that you've found the meaning you were looking for, now that you are an idol?
Hm. I suppose that's often the case, that the reality we grow into is less rosy than what we imagine in our youths.
[ hua cheng blinks slightly when rinne pushes himself up to look down at him, just for a moment before he processes what rinne has said. once he's understood, a grin spreads slowly over his face—not his usual cocky smirk, but a gentler, more genuine expression of happiness that very few ever get to see from him. ]
You have a kind heart, xiao mifeng. To find companionship even in a monster like me.
[ he's joking, mostly. ]
Even though this place is terrible, I'm also grateful to have met you.
[Like, Rinne knows comparing man with anger issues to ghost king is not the best thing, but Rinne thinks they're pretty similar. Rinne just hasn't lived long enough for it.]

But it was a lot of fun the last few months. Then this place happened, and I met ya.
[He turns to him, even as he pushes himself up to a sitting position, just to get a better look at Hua Cheng.]
So I can't say it ended too badly.
