Zizhen is trying so hard not to laugh at Jin Ling's dramatics - it's not just the amusement of it, it's the sheer joy of him being so awake and energetic that he can yell dramatically.
"If you're hallucinating, we're all hallucinating, though I don't know why your uncle would make a charm that did that." Zizhen points out through his poorly-contained giggles.
"You know, Nie-zongzhu has become a lot more competent in recent years, the Nie sect is doing very well and, actually, as matches go..."
He's definitely just messing with his friend now, but he's not wrong.

Yuan laughs, but he can't deny the way the comment makes his heart ache for what could have been, for what might have changed if Hanguang Jun had found him all those years ago.
"If I have time," he agrees, he'll be starting his own instruction tomorrow after all, and he's got so much catching up to do it's a fairly rigorous schedule, but he does get some breaks and it would be quite nice to see the younger classes in action.
