[jin ling has been sect leader of lanling jin for nearly three years now. with his uncle's help, he's found his way and feels more sure on his feet.
his jiu jiu has taught him how to read people, how to be observant and when to stand his ground in meetings with other sect leaders. jiu jiu also said to be vigilant and to expect the unexpected, but that no one would stand against him with yunmeng jiang supporting lanling's new sect leader.
what he did not say, was to watch out for him as well.
jin ling feels utterly, totally, wholly betrayed as he sits in cloud recess across a small table from sizhui. they're in one of the rooms normally used for lessons, but it's empty now beside the two of them. not that jin ling is here for lessons. a year ago, they'd come up with the plan of match making their uncles. zewu-jun really did fit all of his uncles criteria. okay, nearly all of them but really the man couldn't afford to be picky anymore!
and who in their right mind would be too picky about zewu-jun? it had to work.
so, in the last year they'd worked on trying to help their uncles unknowingly romance each other. and along the way -- jin ling still feels his ears heat when he thinks about it -- realized that maybe some of their suggestions were really things they wanted to share together. which feels like the biggest development of the last week, given they've confessed to each other. they haven't really done anything about it but that's a big step!
he blushes thinking about it even though that's not even top of mind somehow!
jin ling wants to laugh and cry a little, because he's sitting across the table from the friend turned something more that he definitely intends to court! and it's not the biggest development.
he takes a deep breath and crosses his arms, leaning back from the table.] Okay but what do you mean jiu-jiu had his hair up? Up how?
[because if sizhui saw what he thinks he saw, they've been played.]
they've been played but hey, they're in love!
