Zhang Rishan doesn’t expect to see Kan Jian again—once he’d left along with Wang Pangzi and the others more closely aligned with the Wu family, Zhang Rishan had thought that would be the last of it. It had been surprising, how sudden that realisation had felt—he hadn’t realised how well Kan Jian had integrated himself into the hum of daily life around Xinyue, even if Zhang Rishan had been gone for some of that, trapped beneath the sands. But all things must end—this is not an empty maxim, but something that he has learnt through firsthand experience; a man out of time as he is, it’s inevitable that, at some point, those whom he grows close to will leave at some point—even if they stay their entire lives, the way Fo Ye had, death will eventually claim them. It’s something he’s grown used to—something he’s grown around, a tree around a barbed fence, until the wicked spikes no longer dug into his flesh.
So perhaps that’s why, when Wu Xie comes to his side, offers him a nod of acknowledgement as he takes the binoculars proffered to him, he doesn’t expect the shadow at Wu Xie’s back—or, rather, only expects one of them; Wang Pangzi is there, of course, two flaring stars of the Iron Triangle so much dimmer without their third sun, but then, to his side, Kan Jian, who’s wearing his trademark sleeveless ensemble. Not for the first time, Zhang Rishan feels a small flare of exasperation—it doesn’t matter how warm the man might run, one day he’ll catch a cold dressing like that.
To his further surprise, though, rather than following after Wu Xie when he moves to get his allies into order, Kan Jian instead diverts to Zhang Rishan’s side, smiling widely. “Huizhang!” he exclaims, puppyish and bright-eyed, and not for the first time, Zhang Rishan feels incalculably old—had he ever been so enthusiastic? He’s not sure he can remember. But in the tense atmosphere of this pre-ambush gathering, it’s like a breath of spring breeze, carrying the scent of plum blossoms.
“Aren’t you going to join Wu Xie’s detachment?” Zhang Rishan says mildly, and shifts slightly so that Kan Jian can come stand at his side if he chooses. Kan Jian takes the opportunity with a grin, and Zhang Rishan, despite the inappropriateness of it, given the context, finds himself smiling faintly in return.
After that, things fall into motion like an executioner’s blade—a spectacle, coated in blood and a sense of shared fervor from both sides. It’s a race to try and apprehend the Wang as they try and flee, having at some point realised the ambush was imminent. Zhang Rishan would love to know how that had happened, but he supposes, as he sidesteps a blow and brings a knee up into someone’s ribs, that it doesn’t particularly matter; the Wang, though they may have the element of familiarity, are panicking, and not as motivated as the remainder of the Jiumen—and, after all, the capture of the individuals is less pressing than the destruction of the computing division. They can always track down any who flee later on; the computing division, on the other hand, is something that must be dealt with forthwith, as it poses the largest threat.
Wu Xie, unsurprisingly, is the one to take the matter into hand—he disappears without a word halfway into the compound, leaving the rest of them to deal with any other hostiles. They’re lucky to have managed to do a near full sweep of the compound by the time the explosions rock the foundations—the only injuries to his team are some scrapes and bruises, no fatalities or serious wounds, though everyone gets at least liberally coated in dust. Zhang Rishan resits a sigh and wipes a hand across his face to clear his vision, and begins counting off to make certain that no one lagged behind and was caught under rubble.
As he’d initially assessed, no one is injured—Kan Jian, though, is looking dejected, hands shoved into his pockets and covered in grey dust, and he resolves to approach him and find out what the issue is. With that decision made, he leads his team out of the compound and around the perimeter for a final casting of the net to see if any more Wang have emerged from the compound that they missed while inside. They manage to detain a few more, but as Zhang Rishan had suspected, they’re not anyone of consequence. Wu Xie emerges, too, eventually, holding Li Cu in his arms and looking worse for the wear—dusty, bloodied, and exhausted, but clearly satisfied, at least for now. Zhang Rishan leaves him be, and dismisses those who had made up his team to other tasks, and then heads for where Xie Yuchen and the interim family heads have convened to try and decide what to do with the Wang they’ve captured. Kan Jian follows after him, which makes it easier, when the conversation draws to a close, for Zhang Rishan to turn to him with a raised brow. “Did you lose your slingshot?”
Kan Jian shakes his head, still looking absolutely crushed. “I brought some candies for Xiaomaque—Luo Que, I mean, but they got lost while we were inside.”
For a moment, Zhang Rishan merely blinks at him, and then, without meaning to, his lips stretch into a smile, and then he’s laughing, quiet and half-wonderous. Kan Jian—he’s like the golden rays of dawn, sometimes too warm but always well-intentioned. Zhang Rishan has watched the relationship between him and Luo Que grow from a one-sided enmity to something more cordial, even playful—not that it had, he suspects, ever been unplayful, on Kan Jian’s side—, but he hadn’t expected—this, he supposes; for Kan Jian to have grown so attached to the other man as to become distressed when something he’d meant for him was lost. Kan Jia’s gaze flickers, and Zhang Rishan realises, suddenly, he might think he’s laughing at him, and so he says, “Follow me,” and leads a confused but pliant Kan Jian to the Jeep he’d driven in, and opens the glovebox. “Luo Que rode with me on the way here,” he explains as he takes out a bag of lollipops. “These—”
“Are his favourite!” Kan Jian says, excitedly, and takes the bag. “Thank you, huizhang! You really are amazing!” He’s beaming like Zhang Rishan has given him some sort of irreplaceable treasure, and, not for the first time, Zhang Rishan finds himself smiling back automatically. “Thank you!” he says, again, happily, and turns to make a beeline towards the other end of camp, where Luo Que is hovering, almost indistinct, at Yin Nanfeng’s side.
Still smiling, Zhang Rishan shakes his head and closes the glovebox.
