It is very strange being told by your best friend that a prostitute is too good for you. However, he isn't nearly as mad about it as he might normally be- especially not when Yuan uses his birth name like that. He finds himself wanting to pull the man against him again to kiss him.
Since when did he get so affectionate? He really likes it.
"Okay, like that. How did you fool poor Yuan like this?" Jingyi asks. "He thinks you're sweet."
"I can be sweet!" Ling defends, cheeks going a little red.
Jingyi looks at him like he's grown another head. "Are you blushing? Holy shit, I need to go find Zizhen."
"He's here too?" Ling groans.
"Duh, that's his cousin your uncle's marrying." Jingyi remembers then that they're leaving Yuan out and turns to him. "Ouyang Zizhen is heir to the Baling Ouyang Clan. The three of us have been friends for years. He and his father are here but don't worry, you can just call him Zizhen, just like you can call me Jingyi. You'll probably like him the best if you like people who are actually sweet."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ling frowns, just shy of a pout. It was true and he couldn't really deny it. Everyone liked Zizhen. Although.. "Aren't you in love with him though?"
It's Jingyi's turn to flush red and he swats the sect leader's arm. "Shhh! What's wrong with you?! He doesn't know." He focuses back on Yuan's wrist. Over his head Ling mouths 'he knows'.
