Wei Wuxian: Lan Zhan, I'm So Happy I Could Kiss You!

wei wuxian: lan zhan, i'm so happy i could kiss you!

lan zhan, through nervous gay laughter: um...................neat!

(later)

lan zhan, lying face down on his bed: i can't believe i said 'neat', xichen. 'neat.' nobody says 'neat' anymore! it's the goddamn 21st century!! it's not neat to say neat, but i said it anyways because i'm a huge loser!

lan xichen, idly turning his magazine page: hey, don't beat yourself up. everyone gets nervous sometimes. remember what happened when jiang cheng confessed to me?

lan zhan: didn't you like, thank him?

lan xichen, closing his magazine to stare at the ceiling: i thanked him.

Yiling citizen: Oh look there’s the radish guy! He’s quite nice, always sweet to the kids and his radishes are surprisingly good!

Visiting cultivator: that’s the Yiling Patriarch, Wei Wuxian

Yiling Citizen:

What

Person who’s not from Yiling: I don’t know how you live here, I’d be terrified the Yiling Patriarch would come and kill me!

Person from Yiling: I saw Wei Wuxian trip over his robes, fall flat on his face, and just lie there while his child poked him
