POLL YAY. :D :D

Hoodies!! xD And cuddling, and a secret nsfw option (because amedia said it and I can't resist xD :D), and also maybe trying to rip the door off the hinges, yep. :P

I need to check what else I voted for Shen Wei, lolol, because I got so distracted by the lollipop factory option. xD :D :D BECAUSE does it mean that the factory makes THESE LOLLIPOPS specifically?? :D Shen Wei having a hand in making THIS LOLLIPOP is now my favorite crack idea, omg. :D And it would be so very on-brand for this time loop. :D :D

The other things I voted - he's paid by Dixing and the university, but doesn't have all that much money anyway. I also couldn't resist the 10,000 years trust fund, not because I think it's true but because it would be so sweet of the people waiting for him to come back. :D And I only didn't vote for any alchemical power because I don't think he would use it this way - like, he probably even has it (why not :D), but these things always have a tendency to backfire, and he wouldn't intentionally give something unreliable to other people. Unless the Dixing version of this power is very reliable, of course. :D

Hee! Presumably not all these at once, then. Like, if you're going to rip the door off, you should do that first (in the interests of not dying), and then the NSFW stuff can happen somewhere more comfortable. *g*

BECAUSE does it mean that the factory makes THESE LOLLIPOPS specifically?? :D

Yes! He tracked down a lollipop start-up based on its wrapper design and when they went public, he bought ALL the shares. :D :D :D Or did he commission a factory?

His soldiers respected him so much, and it's not like they don't know about the energy seal, so... it could have happened! :D :D :D

"Like, if you're going to rip the door off, you should do that first (in the interests of not dying), and then the NSFW stuff can happen somewhere more comfortable. *g*"

Lololol, now I nearly spat out my water on the keyboard, why are their inappropriate activities making me laugh so much today?? xD :D :D :D :D Anyway, TRUE FACTS INDEED. :D :D :D

"Yes! He tracked down a lollipop start-up based on its wrapper design and when they went public, he bought ALL the shares. :D :D :D Or did he commission a factory?"

Heeeeeee! :D :D :D ♡ He could also design the wrapper! (Is drama SW an artist too? But he doesn't even have to be, he has the wrapper right there, he can just copy the design. :D :D)

*wins* (with apologies to your keyboard ;D ;D ;D)

True!! (And it's not exactly a complicated design, hee!) He could find a struggling lollipop start-up, and turn their fortunes around by giving them the right wrapper design. :D :D)

AWWW! :D :D ♡ The sheer amount of self-referencing in this idea has reached canon levels, and I'm just loving it so much, lol. :D

:D :D :D :D :D

Now imagine Zhao Yunlan finding out about it. :D :D :D

[facethestrange]

AW! :D ♡♡♡ *MELTS* Compared to all the other amazingly unbelievable things about the time loop, this possibly wouldn't even be that big of a reveal for Zhao Yunlan, hee, but he would melt too. :D ♡♡♡ And it would put the focus on the lollipops for a bit, and I'm always 100% here for it. xD :D :D
