[admittedly, lan sizhui has greatly enjoyed watching his friend flourish in his sect leader position. not once has he ever judged jin ling needing help from his uncle sometimes either, especially when he gained such an important role while still being so young. (unfortunate circumstances aside and all, of course.)
jin ling had grown into his new status, handled it quite well when he'd found his footing, which had also helped the other junior come into himself a little better at the time, too.
and that in-kind helped them both decide the best-laid plan: getting their uncles together before it was deemed they were both a complete loss— well, okay, that's putting it somewhat dramatically... but still! it's true, lan xichen's almost everything jiang cheng wants in a partner; beautiful, graceful and obedient, hard-working, hailing from a respected family, personality not overwhelming, not too talkative and – last, though certainly not least! – must treat jin ling nice. zewu-jun, from what sizhui's witnessed throughout the years, has been nothing but courteous (and even outrightly kind) toward the other junior.
gosh, both of them were even thrust into similar situations with taking care of children unexpectedly? interesting indeed!
perhaps, that's why it shouldn't be surprising lan xichen and jiang cheng were able to turn the tables on them so easy; practically like the circumstances were meant for it. lan sizhui certainly isn't complaining since this new state of affairs has finally brought about confessions and while many wouldn't consider it something huge in their own minds, for himself and jin ling, it's astounding. the tips of his own ears pinken at times too, although having loosened his hair from the usual topknot helps hide them somewhat better.
it's an excellent advantage he's grateful for at the moment! but also: blushing's not his concern after what he'd witnessed only half an hour ago.] Like this! [sizhui pipes, leaning halfway over the table meanwhile, taking all of his loosened hair and holding it in a high ponytail.]
I have never seen him wear such a style. [he lets his hair fall around his shoulders, leans back so he's sitting properly again then folds both hands across his lap.] Have you?
this is the good stuff, jim
