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.

[weifinder]

I think he'd much prefer having you on his mind than most the distressing stuff rattling around in there. Have you heard him sad xiao solo? I've heard him sad xiao solo.

Let him decide. Put yourself out there! If it all goes horribly wrong I'll help drink the memory of it away with you, promise!

[fennu]

I haven't, and I doubt he wants me to either. You're assuming things that aren't there, as usual!

[weifinder]

Ah, but am I, A-Cheng, am I?

I'm saying, you both, you all deserve good things too, and I consider you a good thing, even when you don't. Keep it in mind for after all this, ah?

[fennu]

I am the last person that Zewu-jun would want as a partner, Wei Wuxian. You had better stop this now.

[weifinder]

And I was the last person I expected Lan Zhan to stand by when the rest of our world stood opposed. Sometimes our expectations are just ours, not the truth another feels.

[fennu]

I'm ignoring you now.

[weifinder]

A-Cheng, A-Cheng!

I care about you too.
