Perhaps so. [ you're not dead, though, so it's fine. chengzhu will continue to talk like this with you. ] I was working on refrigeration and heated plumbing before I was rudely interrupted.
[ it's not satisfying that he's not inflicting minor harm to orion, but he also doesn't seem to care that much. "what if it's not who you think it is?" no, the dull thunk is enough to further confirm it. ]
Perhaps next I'll install a more updated greenhouse for plants. There's a few people interested in their care, but one of them is often doing quite a bit of work.

Might keep gege from killing some of them, too.
no subject
Perhaps so.
[ ... there's a little huff at the end, there, that might sound like a laugh, when he brings up gege. but, orion will acquiesce. ] Gege?
no subject
Gege is the most marvelous person in the three realms of Zhongguo.
However, he can be a little impatient about things sometimes, and gets creative with how to speed along a process. It's very cute.
