Xiang Cheng - lover

Chi Xiaoduo is the 25 year old protagonist of Post Training Notice: National First-Class Registered Exorcist, and he goes from being a normal architectural engineer to a yao-subduing engineer and exoricst after he meets Xiang Cheng and enters the supernatural world.

## Personality

Chi Xiaoduo starts off the series as a true "mola fish", that is an easily startled and anxious person. Although as the series progresses, he learns judo and yao-subduing engineer spells and gains confidence and courage, he continues to have the heart of a shojo manga protagonist and really is the heart of the group. He tends to believe in the best of others and is happy to make new friends.

Chi Xiaoduo is also very much a "xueba" or academic tyrant, doing Xiang Cheng's exorcist mock exams for fun and constantly keeping a notebook on yao and other supernatural phenomena to study.

## Appearance

Chi Xiaoduo's exact appearance isn't quite described, but presumably he is very cute since he bent nearly every single boy he befriended in college and gets hit on in the exorcist department by men as well.

## Abilities

Chi Xiaoduo is extremely intelligent, able to memorize and remember vast amounts of data that he has researched about yao and magic. In addition, he knows some judo flips and can create magical artifacts.

He is also has a dragon pupil in his left eye, courtesy of the chiwen's final blessing to him, and can see through yao illusions and other supernatural events and beings.

## Background

Chi Xiaoduo was born in Zhuahi and was mostly raised by his maternal grandmother. When he was seven, he wandered too far into some sea caves and encountered a wounded Chiwen. The chiwen saved him, and he promised to find someone to help the chiwen, but once he got out of the caves, no one believed him, and he fell into a fever for several days from the chill. When he woke up, he didn't remember the chiwen anymore. Later, Chi Xiaoduo went to Guangzhou for college, where he met Wang Ren, and during that time, his maternal grandmother passed away, and his parents divorced, with his mother moving to Taiwan.

## Story

### Book 1: Chiwen

Chi Xiaoduo goes to a massage parlor for his birthday, where his friends have bought him a "special massage," so he can finally lose his virginity. He doesn't especially want to go through with it, but his masseuse turns out to be Xiang Cheng, who he falls for at first sight. Xiang Cheng just gives him a normal oil massage, but right after that, Chi Xiaoduo encounters a yaoguai on the train, and Xiang Cheng saves him. Chi Xiaoduo is promptly dosed with Lihun pollen to forget about all that, but Chi Xiaoduo remains enamoured with Xiang Cheng. During a trip up into the mountains, Wang Ren invites Xiang Cheng along as a favor, and Chi Xiaoduo once again encounters Xiang Cheng trying to capture a yao, helps him, and then once again gets dosed with Lihun pollen to forget about it.

After his landlord wants to sell his apartment, Chi Xiaoduo is forced to find a new apartment, and Xiang Cheng becomes his roommate. Chi Xiaoduo and Xiang Cheng become blissfully domestic for awhile, but Chi Xiaoduo eventually finds a video that he had taken of the yaoguai on the train and freaks out that he doesn't remember. Xiang Cheng tells him what happened, and the two of them embark on the case to track down who exactly keeps targetting Chi Xiaoduo.

It turns out that the chiwen from Chi Xiaoduo's past had turned into a devil after it died, and has possesed Yang Xingjie to try and exact its revenge on Chi Xiaoduo. Chi Xiaoduo and Xiang Cheng fight the chiwen and are ultimately able to exorcise it. Xiang Cheng does not want to use Lihun pollen on Chi Xiaoduo at this point, but ultimately Chi Xiaoduo doses himself with it.

Xiang Cheng then needs to go to Beijing to take the First-Class Exorcist exam, and Chi Xiaoduo, thinking that Xiang Cheng is taking the national tour guide exam, accompanies him to Beijing.

## Relationships

### Xiang Cheng

Chi Xiaoduo fell in love with Xiang Cheng at first sight, but wasn't sure whether he was straight or not, or whether as a "duck," he had other clients. They seem to have been drawn to each other from the very beginning, and grow closer as they become roommates. Chi Xiaoduo very much wants to become a yao-subduing engineer in order to support Xiang Cheng as an exorcist, but he is also happy just supporting Xiang Cheng in general. When Chi Xiaoduo finds out that Xiang Cheng is half snake yao, his first reaction is that his Ba Snake form is extremely cute.

Chi Xiaoduo was a little uncertain of Chen Zhen at first but quickly grows close to him as well once he meets Chen Lang. He worries that Chen Zhen works too hard.
