Huaisang really is just here to be a friend, he is, he picked up the intricacies of the situation in a way he isn't sure that anybody else did, and he thinks Jiang Cheng deserves somebody around who knows what he sacrificed to save his ex-fiancee's face, as well as his nephew's, since it's probably going to be a while before people stop making snarky comments about his rudeness and bad temper.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't find the other man attractive, and it doesn't mean that slightly suggestive tone doesn't do funny things to his insides. Oh, Jiang Cheng, if only you knew, he has a list.
But he long ago resigned himself to the fact that his best friend's brother would never consider him in that way. He can look, but that's all.
"How about Wanyin?" he suggests - far more familiar than Jiang-zongzhu, but not so familiar as to call him Cheng, that feels like an appropriate level.
(Hearing his name from Jiang Cheng's lips is, of course, just as lovely as he expected).
