thumbs up!

"A-Ling! Come find me before I start singing out your courtesy name!"

The one he chose, so many years before, when shijie and Jiang Cheng had insisted, each in their own way. In this fog-haunted landscape that was no landscape, but colours that wove themselves into and out of greyscale, he disliked it. He didn't want his shijie's son lost in anything like this, and none of those adults he knew, even that insignificant, self-obsessed Jin Guangyao, would want it either.

"I have a very good singing voice!"

Which wasn't a lie, but having one's name sung out repeatedly would be beyond annoying, when one did not appreciate the beauty of one's courtesy name. (Where is he, the brat?)
