Huaisang blinks up at him with wide eyes. Jiang Cheng is absolutely shameless.

He thinks he might be in love.

"Wanyin," he says, looking scandalised "How could you suggest such a thing?" He holds that expression for just a moment longer before his hurt look morphs into a devious little smile.

"Of course I would follow your rule, my love, you know I'll always be on my very best behaviour for you." he purrs.

"I read the rest of- wait." Zizhen's eyes narrow suspiciously, but Jin Ling is already continuing and rather neatly distracting him from this revelation.

"I don't know... " he says dubiously. Only... well that would be just like Jingyi, wouldn't it? Throwing caution to the wind and sneaking into his guest room the way he snuck into his bed yesterday morning, and then maybe he could sneak in to a room filled with candlelight and a waiting Zizhen... yes he rather likes this idea... "Jin Ling you might be a genius..."

(He shouldn't have said that, he's never going to hear the end of it)

The requested promise gives him pause, though, because he really doesn't want to lie to Yuan, but if Jin Ling doesn't want him to know the state he's in, and since it's only going to worry him terribly if he hears, maybe...

"I... I promise." he nods. Jin Ling is one of his oldest friends, he thinks Yuan is wonderful, but Jin Ling has his loyalty, he'd do anything for him - including lie.
