No! Of course not!

[weifinder]

Why, is he not handsome enough?

( distraction, thy name is flustering )

[fennu]

What? No, wasn't he the most handsome in the world or something? Idiot.

[weifinder]

So you weren't staring respectfully?

[fennu]

I wasn't staring at all! I don't know what you're talking about.

[weifinder]

Right, right, so it was staring disrespectfully. At his chin? His lips? His eyes? His neck? Do you like how the clothes here fit, that could be a full stare on its own!

[fennu]

What do his clothes have to do with anything? He was wearing a suit, same as me, and it fit him well. Isn't that a normal thing?

[weifinder]

That you both dress well and you noticed his suit fit him nicely? Were you thinking that about everyone you came across at your office, ah?

[fennu]

What are you trying to say, huh?

[weifinder]

You think Zewu-jun's attractive in a personal, Jiang Cheng is attracted to Zewu-jun sense!

[fennu]

Why are you spouting such nonsense?! Where are you? I'll break your legs!

[weifinder]

Hah! Have you called him Lan Xichen yet?

( a longer pause. )

Or by his childhood name?

[fennu]

I’m not like you! I would never be so rude!

[weifinder]

He is technically the generation above us in that slippery sense, but really, if you ever do...

Tell me! Tell me please, ah? Jiang Cheng!

[fennu]

I'm never going to tell you ANYTHING.

[weifinder]

Jiang Cheng, brother my brother, light of my family life, pleaaaaase~

[fennu]

I don't know you.

[weifinder]

A-Cheeeeeng tell meeeeee

What aren't you telling meeeeeee

[fennu]

[ Can he resist the whining? Yes. Can he resist the 'a-Cheng'? Probably. The two of them together with Wei Wuxian's persistence? Perhaps not. ]

Because I already did it!

[ aw fuck. ]

[weifinder]

( Wei Wuxian: gasps. )

A-Cheng you really do like him!

... Not just like, you like like him? Guess you finally relaxed on the point of wanting a partner with weaker cultivation, I'm so proud! Also, really, sincerely: A-Cheng, A-Cheng, you called him by his name. How'd he take it?

[fennu]

I do not! It was because of this stupid mission! I thought my name was Cheng Jiang and he was Huan Lan, so that's what I called him when we introduced ourselves!

Don't read into things that aren't there, you moron!

[weifinder]

Those are both your names from childhood so neither one of you is wrong, though I did just have a full body shudder seeing that name order again. Enough of it on the Passenger Roster!

No, no, come on, A-Cheng, talk with me, some bright good news in all this mess. He's an attractive man, you're an attractive man, I have no idea if you're also into finding men attractive, but if you are, then it seems like a lot of attractiveness going around that could be nice! All paired up together?

[fennu]

It is wrong and I hate even remembering it.

Why does it matter? It's irrelevant here, isn't it? I'm not going to entertain stupid thoughts just because I can and because we don't remember things right. Knowing that Zewu-jun is handsome doesn't mean anything when the whole world has been saying it for years.

[weifinder]

Forgive me for being direct, but you're both attractive men in the prime of your life and you could both probably have a very fun, very sweet time together, especially since I think you're perfectly lovable, when people look past all the things that slip out when you're feeling very strong emotions.

Which if anyone does, it's him. Plus, can't I wish for a partner for my A-Cheng, huh?

[fennu]

What do you mean strong emotions, huh? Idiot.

I've tried to find a partner, you know. In Yunmeng. It didn't work. Why would it be any different here, especially with someone like Zewu-jun? He must have other things on his mind.
