Jin Ling learned at a very young age that sharing applies to not only his toys and his snacks but his favorite uncle, too.
“Jiujiu, who is that?” The six years old asked clinging tighter to Jiang Cheng.
Lan Xichen was politely nervous to meet the owner who has occupied Jiang Cheng’s heart since birth.
“Hi, Jin Ling,” Lan Xichen returns all too nervous. Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh. Is Lan Xichen seriously nervous of a six years old?
Jiang Cheng nods his head and Jin Ling’s little heart suddenly goes awry.
He throws his tiny body onto his bed and burry his tears into the bedsheet. He doesn’t like his uncle’s boyfriend. He doesn’t like that his boyfriend is here.
Jin Ling sobs his tinting heart out understanding that he does not want to share his uncle with anyone—particularly those who will take his uncle away from him.
Jiang Cheng approached his boyfriend and caresses his face with his hand leaning his body into his. “A-Ling doesn’t hate you. He is still learning about sharing.
“A-Ling?” Jiang Cheng soft calls at the door. Jin Ling response with a mumbled reply refusing to lift his face from being burry deep into the bedsheets
“A-Ling, can you please look at jiujiu?” Jiang Cheng asked softly as he placed a hand on his nephew’s back.
Jin Ling knew it wasn’t polite to have someone beg so he finally lifted his head up and oh my gosh, Jiang Cheng’s heart couldn’t help itself from hurting.
Jiang Cheng patted his back and gave him soothing assurance to allow him to cry it all out before they have a conversation. They stayed like that for thirty minutes before Jin Ling’s cries soften and he
Jiang Cheng knew it won’t be easy to introduce his boyfriend to Jin Ling. He had talked about this with his sister and both
Jin Ling nodded his head.
“Can you tell Jiujiu why you cried?” Jin Ling shook his head.
“Is it because jiujiu’s boyfriend is here?” Jin Ling nodded his head and that made
“Do you not like him?” Jin Ling doesn’t answer. Jin Ling wants to say yes but then that would make his uncle sad and he doesn’t want his uncle to be sad.
but there are moments he keeps quiet—it usually is when he is hurting.
“A-Ling, can you please talk to Jiujiu?” Jiang Cheng begs again hoping this time his nephew will
“Scared.” Jin Ling mumbled.
“Hmm?” Jiang Cheng couldn’t make out what his nephew said.
“Scared? Why is A-Ling scared?” Jiang Cheng hadn’t thought Jin Ling would be this affected by his relationship.
“Jiujiu no time for A-Ling anymore. A-Ling not jiujiu favorite anymore.” Jin Ling’s tired voice confessed.
By instinct, Jiang Cheng tighten his embrace around Jin Ling and moved his hand upward to gently pat the back
“A-Ling, jiujiu will always have time for you. Just because jiujiu has a boyfriend now doesn’t mean we can’t spend time together anymore.”
“But today is A-Ling and Jiujiu but jiujiu brought boyfriend.”
Jin Ling didn’t say anything and continue to rest his head on his uncle’s chest.
Jin Ling was scared with someone else in Jiang Cheng’s life, he will no longer have the time to spend with Jin Ling like usual. Maybe Jin Ling was being selfish. Does a six years old even know what being selfish is?
“A-Ling listen to me,” Jiang Cheng finally said pulling his nephew away from his chest to face him.
“I promise.” Jiang Cheng hooked his pinky to Jin Ling’s and their thumbs kissed.

Lan Xichen tried to have small talks with Jin Ling trying to figure out what he likes—not that Lan Xichen was
“Jin Ling, your jiujiu tells me you have a dog named Fairy.”
Lan Xichen smiles. He is making small progress. Jiang Cheng rose from his seat to grab them some drinks and a juice box for Jin Ling.
Lan Xichen was about to say something when Jin Ling starts first. “Do you want to meet Fairy?”
“Mister, if you are not nice to my jiujiu, A-Ling will have Fairy bite you, okay?”
“I promise to always love your jiujiu with my all.” Lan Xichen pledge.
Jin Ling smiles at him and Lan Xichen knew Jin Ling accepted him.
—END—
(Four years later)
“Jingyi!” Jin Ling yelled at the top of his lungs and ran full speed tackling the other little boy to the ground. They both laughed hysterically, limbs tangled together.
To everyone’s surprised, Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi got along so well they became inseparable.
Suddenly, Jin Ling realize that sharing isn’t so bad after all. He gained a best friend and a new brother thanks to Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h
