#HE REFUSES TO PERCEIVE!!
#extra funny bc JGY isn’t even besties with him yet
#he showed him the same courtesy he’s showing everyone else at this event and that’s outrageous apparently
#which is of course also SMS’s reaction so maybe there’s something in the water at Cloud Recesses
#(re: the timeskip I genuinely figured LXC *didn’t* realize how close the two of them were)
#(given how JGY has taken compartmentalizing the different parts of his life to new heretofore-unreached levels)
#(which also makes for optimal comedy/awkwardness when JGY takes LXC hostage—not only has A-Yao betrayed him but SU SHE IS HERE?)
#(oh he is NOT perceiving ANY of this thank you very much!)
I'm not saying Lan Xichen's reactions to A-Yao being friends with Su She in CQL are the funniest fucking thing ever, but like, I'm not not saying that...
Stage One: Denial. Just avert your gaze. Nothing happening back there. Don't even worry about it.
Oops, you looked back! Don't look back Er-Ge!
His expression after JGY goes on telling him about how cool and talented Su She is. Like this is the fakest news he's heard all week. (I'd say this is the closest he gets to the anger stage lmao) Like, really A-Yao? You must not know Su She is actually super lame and inept and also a coward and he sucks but that's okay because I'll tell you those things and you won't be friends with him anymore right?
(Bargaining) And then it's just "Oh A-Yao it's okay! You didn't know Su She is bad actually!"
((I only wish we got to see LXC's reaction when he finds out that no, A-Yao has not dropped Su She as a friend and like... actually they're kinda close wtf? Like he obviously can't miss it by the post time skip time unless he's trying very hard to ignore it. Actually he might be trying very hard to ignore it or else why would he not know SMS is JGY's mysterious accomplice? Which while less likely is actually a lot funnier like just straight up "I pretend I do not see" ignoring it for 16 years.))
