Quotes

- Lin Zhen

"Welcome back."

Fanon
XiaLin is highly considered to be canon, or at least behind the scenes in the fandom, because although neither Yu Xia nor Lin Zhen explicitly mentions a canon confirmation of their relationship, many of the flirting cues or general interactions hint to a deeper bond. For example, Lin Zhen puts her hand over Yu Xia's in the context of talking about marriage. A fair amount of angst is associated with this ship as well, with some people opting to create fanwork of the time period in which Yu Xia and Lin Zhen separated.

In the Link Click fandom, XiaLin is one of the few rare side-character ships but gets a decent amount of attention from viewers who appreciate their close friendship and reunion. They do not currently have any works on AO3.

Trivia

 * The name of the first shop that Yu Xia and Lin Zhen opened was called "夏林" (xià lín), a combination of Yu Xia (予' 夏' ) and Lin Zhen (林'贞)'s names.
 * As with ShiGuang, Bilibili tends to merge names together for a specific reason (in this case, the co-owned noodle shop) that is a possible reference to ship names.
