Jiang Cheng chuckles and scoots closer to hold him. He sets his wine aside, draws the other man's legs over his own, and because he knows he can get away with it, he pushes aside Huaisang's skirts till he has a nice portion of bare leg to run his hand along as he kisses him.
"There's no one else but you, my dear," he promises. His fingers curl in his hair affectionately. "I appreciate you watching out for Ling while I'm gone. It could be more challenging than I thought, unfortunately. The talisman my brother sent has done a brilliant job turning his condition around and he's back to his ornery, pain-in-the-ass self." He says this smiling, of course.
"I might need to leave a few of my men here to protect you," he teases.

Lan Zhan looks up at his husband and smiles.
Jingyi nearly trips. Whoa. That was the biggest smile he thinks he's ever seen on Hanguang Jun's face and he's not the only junior shocked to see it. Although only the first couple disciples can see it. They can't really hear what's being said but the look between their two elders is just.. there was no hiding that, especially with the little lantern in Lan Zhan's hand.
It reminds him again that no matter if Sizhui was a youthful indiscretion of his hero, he is Hanguang Jun's pride and joy. That alone means Jingyi's going to stand by him. The fact he's also really sweet and he loves him are just extras.
It's a while later that Jingyi moves closer to Wei Wuxian, on his opposite side from Hanguang Jun and tugs on his sleeve. "Wei-qianbei? How does one become sworn brothers?"
