One thing about Li Ming is that he's always so transparent. He struggles to tolerate. He's not like Jim who can change skin for people of power and lower himself as much as he can. He is so young and so ambitious, but it gives him courage. He knows what he's capable of, he knows what he is, and he knows what he wants to be. Li Ming is quite an example of following one's heart.

When an employer clearly doesn’t want an employee, just a slave, it’s best to give them exactly the attitude they should get from all applicants.

And speaking of scurvy, I am eternally amused by the thing where some ancient form of healing that was born in a time where people didn't know exactly how the human body works, or what causes it to stop working sometimes, that still somehow worked. Like how so many old folk medicinal plants were listed as a cure for various ailments that - from a modern view - are clearly just symptoms of scurvy, and the plant itself is rich in vitamin C.
I recall reading some story, no recollection of the exact time or place, where the king of a large empire suffered from constant horrible headaches and was incapable of falling asleep unless drugged or blackout drunk. Sick of taking temporary fixes to dull the pain and having to be sedated every night, he called up some old sage healer who was said to know how to fix things nobody else could explain, and the healer heard his symptoms and went
"Hmm. You spend too much time being a king. Your skull is packed so full of kingly thoughts that they don't all fit in there and that's why your head is in pain. You need to spend time not being a king." And prescribed him to schedule three days every month where he must go to a peasant village where nobody knows he's the king, live with a family there under a fake name and identity, work in the rice fields with them, eating the same food and sleeping on the same mats. Absolutely nobody is allowed to address him as the king, speak to him of any royal or political matters, and he himself is not allowed to think any kingly thoughts or think of himself as the king.
And naturally, this worked. Taking a regular scheduled break from a highly stressful office desk job to completely decompress, paired with physical exercise in the form of hard but simple physical labour, plain and simple food and Just Not Thinking About Your Fucking Job All The Time does help chronic stress, which here was worded as "spending too much time being a king clogs your brain."
Sometimes you do have ghosts in your blood, though I'm not entirely sure whether you should do cocaine about it.

Season 2, Episode 3 - The Problem with Globalization
youtube
Why Are States Undercutting Their Own Workers?
Americans fear other countries stealing jobs from the US, but what if we told you that states are actually busy stealing jobs from each other? Sure, states trying to lure companies to relocate in their towns might sound like a good thing, but who really benefits? In our new episode, “Globalization: Made in America,” Jon looks at this “race to the bottom” and what it’s costing America’s workers.

Gov. Roy Cooper On Why States Spend Big To Compete For Jobs
If companies will move where the good workers are, why do states need to bend over backward to offer tax breaks and other incentives to corporations who promise to bring new jobs? In “Globalization: Made in America,” Jon asks North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper why his state has done this and if that money might have been better spent on things that actually benefit the people who already live there.

Uranus rules innovations, freedom, independence, surprises, unexpected things, sudden changes ,upheaval, originality, scientific discoveries, It rules over aquarius and 11th house. Some say it can be exalted in either Scorpio, fall in Taurus and detriment in Leo. It’s analysis is limited to western astrology only, vedic practitioners don’t include it in their analysis(yet).
🔭 Uranus in 1st-
These natives are quite innovative and eccentric which also describes the Aquarius rising person. They are smart and one of the few interesting people when you know them. They might not seem very interested in a lot of things or like they aren't paying attention but that's usually because in their mind they are having their own conversations, that being said they may often get lost in thought. They also have some of the most unexpected changes or glow ups. They may like having tattoos or piercings. They are adventurous and want to know about a lot of things. Often they are interested in things of other cultures. Are true humanitarians and like working for a larger cause. One thing that may irk them is the sense of stubbornness others might show when it comes to matter of opinions, even though Aquarius is a fixed sign, Uranus energy in its true form is accepting and non-judgemental. They work for community and has many hobbies of their own as well. Most likely to change something in appearance or get a haircut at smallest inconvenience. Can create havoc especially in their own life, overthinks a lot. They cannot stand restrictions and just the thought of being control can be triggering.
🔭Uranus in 2nd-
These natives are eclectic when young, can be outcasts or discriminated against even, they are different from their family. They might enjoy exploring diff foods and doesn't like restrictions on their food, could also non-traditional way of eating food like eating rice with fork, (ik a lot of people who do this but ykwim), could also have eccentric foods they eat together like rice with ketchup or ice-cream and fries. Someone in their family may have been an inventor of some kind or did something new or native could be that person. They might have had a rich collection of hobbies when young, either they had so many hobbies they never got bored or it was hard to keep them from getting bored. Might have been rebellious and restless as a kid. Parents might have suspected neurodivergence or are neurodivergent. You may have something you value but others don't understand why. I feel with this one, people close to you misunderstand you or doesn't fully get you and you may feel alone. Adoption might happen in family. Can show sudden deaths in family or a sudden gain/downfall especially monetary. An action of yours might feel like a shock to family. Their self worth might be attached to something they create. May have playes with tools when young. Lack of independence can be detrimental to self esteem and financial independence is the ultimate goal for them.
🔭 Uranus in 3rd-
These tend be misunderstood when young, quite rebellious or let's just say difficult to understand by some people. They may have been treated differently than their peers or siblings. They may have been an outcasted by their peers, teachers, in school or even at home. Could have a hard time making friends. May have had a best friend come into their life unexpectedly. Says the most eccentric thing, people can be fascinated by you or the way you speak. Could have speech related issues. Your friends may be weird. You may have been the nerd kid or very smart compared to others. Eccentric hobbies. May have accidents when young or played with tools. You or some one your age could have neurodivergent behaviour or simply didn't have good attention span. Could be nail biters. Siblings might have been adopted. Could have had a special needs pets adopted at home. Some of them have great memories or their idea of learning is different from others, or diff processes had to be adopted to teach you. Good indication for programmers, engineers or people dealing with computers. Influencer placement as well. You may invent something out of a hobby or invent a new hobby. May like impromptu travel plans or had a lot of sudden travel as a child. Something unexpected might have happened with a peer,cousin or sibling. Enjoy having no rule book and are self dependent learners.
🔭 Uranus in 4th-
These people are often not what people want them to be, they don't conform to standards of the people they grew up with or especially in a society they grew up in. They trigger a lot of people around them just by being themselves. Their relationship with parents can be either distant while growing up or they were controlled to the point they want an independent life away from them. Most of these people will eventually move out of their home and also probably birth land. They can't be in the same space for long and enjoy traveling and mingling with new other people. They might like solitude when dealing with emotions and feelings, like to process it than talk. Mother may have been an independent and eccentric personality who also did not conform to tradition. There may be a sudden family incident, someone in your family can be adopted. It's also possible that the family dynamic is very rare and unusual compared to your peers. You may be one of the first people to Innovate or introduce new things into your family. Can be different from other family members, your may like tech and car gadgets and invest in them, you like advanced mechanical vehicles. You may try to use technology or social media to not deal with emotional matters. Your family might keep suprising each other often.
🔭 Uranus in 5th-
I believe these natives tend to grow into their real self when they hit their 20s or there's a drastic change in personality or how others see them. They might do college education in engineering, computer science, or anything to do with machinery, computers and even heavy mathematics. There minds are brilliant and quick thinking, creative thinking is an important theme here which is why they can be quite quick to make witty comebacks. They might do an usual college education or none at all, their education might be unconventional than what they have seen. Might choose a difficult subject. There can be upheavals or shocks in education, disruption as well. Their love life can be different as well, different from others, they are attracted to people different from them, and have friends different from them, or from foreign lands. Lovers can be foreigners, innovative when it comes to sex, may like trying new things, may have long distance romance or online. Kids might be conceived using unconventional methods, suprise pregnancies is from different partners. They may also find the idea of relationship too constraining hence be single is there tea, they can be detached from romance in their 20s as well just different priorities and are busy exploring other things. Romance may unexpectedly enter your life. So it's long lasting friendships. They can do lot of things they enjoyed doing as a kid, or use tech for that. Might travel a lot or vacations or leisure times are often unexpected. They are intelligent and have vivid self expression. Considered outcasts by others, and surprises might make them happy. They are a unique friend who will suprise you even when people might not expect them to show up for support. They are busy thinking about things to try and enjoy while they get this sense of freedom, that they forget about romance. Might like heavy metal/rock music and engages themselves in humanitarian work.
🔭 Uranus in 6th-
They can be very meticulous towards their duties. They might have a hard time sticking to a routine or their routine is unconventional and sometimes unhealthy. They may sleep late or eat at odd times. They are often busy which can deter them form their normal hygiene and diet as well. They can be picky eaters or eat vivid combinations of food. They can be overthinkers and may have anxiety which is often their work related. Their jobs may involve working in fields of science, mathematics or technology. They make good programmers and Excel in fields of engineering and science. Later in life, they can become very healthy and trying healthy recipes as they cannot stick to same old same old. So they can spruce up their lifestyle as well. They can do well with having a pet, particularly cats. Their co workers may be different than them or these natives might be treated differently at work place, you are one of the smartest in your work place. Your intelligence and mind is an employer's dream, people might look to you to solve tech related issues. Might suffer from unexpected health issues. You are also likely to unexpected come across an animal and adopt them. Your charity work may involve climate, science, or philanthropy. Change is good for you mental health, and you might enjoy spending time alone or atleast away from family in your own freedom.
🔭 Uranus in 7th-
They are very intelligent and perceptive when it comes to dealing with the audience unless afflicted. Even with business and partnerships in general it's easier for them to separate personal from professional and are very clear on their boundaries. They are balanced people in it's developed form and unable to handle stress well when under-developed, they prefer specialisation over generalisation and focus on one thing at a time. They may invent something and go into business selling it, or manages product or tech related stuff of s business. As lovers and partners, they are introverted and may not seek others when under-developed or even think about romance and love as they tend to be attached from it, they may rationalise their emotions and try to make sense of it. But when developed, they are one of the caring souls, who believes in having healthy boundaries and a relationship where each has freedom to be an individual and have their own lives, they would like someone independent and a brilliant thinker as well, someone not a bore and matches their interests. These natives might gain a lot of knowledge through interacting with others or have an audience for their creation. Marriage may be unexpected or business can happen unexpectedly. You may be prone to law suit unexpectedly or even fame. You can create something related to romance or trade or law. They value originality over pretentious partners and likes honesty in relationship. Might attract intelligent and nerdy people.
🔭 Uranus in 8th-
These are likely to be introverted and shy, or socially awkward. I feel the major cause for this is others fail to recognise the true Uranus in 8th person for who they are, which is why I think they lack acceptance or people don't see them for who they are. This may be constraining for them. They may fear their independence or freedom being taken away from them. Claustrophobic possibly. They are so passionate and intelligent about certain things but this quality is likely hidden from others and people may be shocked on discovering this. These individuals might contemplate after life, spirituality, quantum physics, aliens and all other things that may not be in front of us. In an underdeveloped state, native is likely to refuse spirituality and only focus on the real world. They may also enjoy crime and forensic shows or knowing about such stuff. They are also likely to come up with innovative ways to kill, not because they are psycho but they are very creative and innovative. This placement is likely to experience sudden accidents, financial debt or even had experience of a sudden death. This placement might bring unexpected gains or inheritance as well and spiritual inclination and introspection might boost your intelligence and connect you more to your passions. They have some hidden talent. Possible indication of asexuality. Although one's sex life is likely to be experimental and may utilise toys. Sometimes freaky as well, whatever the case they will try to keep an exciting sex life. There might be sudden changes or unwelcome changes in life. Private life might have a upheaval or be a shock for some people. Might develop some sudden or unexpected fears. Private life may become known unexpectedly. Can do research in STEM, quantitative fields. You might have some minor or secretive neurodivergent behaviour which can be undetected.
🔭 Uranus in 9th-
They are intuitive, intelligent and open minded, or atleast wants to believe that they are. They crave independence and exploration, they are learn by practicality or experience. They might enjoy travelling or knowing about different cultures, heritages to make sense of the world. They might be advocates of social issues and promote justice, they are not the ones to just stand and be bullied, they stand up for the weak and had one fight response. They can be intellectually aggressive and will want to correct others if they think other person is wrong, sometimes even when it doesn't concern them or there it is a gray are. They can be self righteous and believe in the right and wrong order of things. If other things in chart supports, they are likely to travel abroad. Can have education from abroad or have a foreign teacher. Might be interested in the languages. They are rebellious and also innovative. They thrive from being free and in an environment that allows them the freedom to explore their curiosities as they have many. Might be into foreign rock artists. They can be tempted by the idea of space exploration. When under-developed they fail to accept spirituality or understand people who do. They might not be religious but likes knowing the meaning of how life comes to be. Might study higher education or research in STEM subjects or quantitative heavy subjects. There might be a sudden change in life philosophy or spiritual/religious beliefs, higher education, when you are abroad or make sudden plans to go abroad or study. There might be some upheaval during higher education. Might invent something abroad or through inspiration by foreign sources. They might be the first ones to go abroad in family or achieve something big in their family. You make people ask different questions and don't conform to standards and society.
🔭 Uranus in 10th-
While few other Uranus placements are outcasts, this one will be known as the outcast or the outlier or the undergod. People will know you for being "not-normal" "non-mainstream", something about you will be different on the public eye. This can be your looks, how you behave, how you work. You will also be seen as as an innovator and a creator, your profession might be related to being one. Your fame can be because you invented something. Most likely to work in the field of science, research, social work, mathematical fields, engineering. You will also be known for your philanthrophy. People with this placement might come across intimidating because you might present a new image or idea to them to which they may feel uncomfortable. Your work might involve dealing with computers a lot. You might get a job suddenly or sudden fame. You will be one day in the shadow and in the limelight another, your creation might get famous over night. Your public image can go through sudden changes. You are also likely to attract bad name without any hint. You like having a space to breathe in your workspace and like working independently or where your ideas are appreciated.
🔭 Uranus in 11th-
They are unique and unconventional. Their education or the way they are is unconventional to their peers. They may have a hard time setting in especially as a child or finding their tribe but they are one of the resilient and smartest people. They may come across as detached or unemotional but are emotionally rational and may decisions mostly based on the brain than the heart, they are good people to go to if you want serious practical advice. They are creators and has ability to start revolution or convince others with logic. Peera might attracted to them because of their calm demeanor as they are very nonchalant when they deal with others which borders on "idgaf about you". They do have some issues dear to them which they might promote, they do well when socially engaging and helping others. Someone in their peers could be neuro divergent. They may be known for their philanthropy and has network with people who do. They are a calculated socialiser, they know how to charm others and know exactly what to say to get inside the door. After work, your resources might go towards a lot of social work. You are a great friend. There might be upheavals in jobs and social circles. Friendship might occur unexpectedly or break suddenly. Friends might live in different countries or cities. You may enjoy talking science with friends or someone in your friends might work in STEM. You aren't a clingy friend, and have a life of their own. You are that good friend that even if you don't talk for years, friendship remains intact. Your way of friendship is different and uncommon. You like being independent and want to create through your work, one of your goals can be invent or create something.
🔭 Uranus in 12th-
Often for these natives, this can be an untapped potential placement as 12th house themes aren't well known to the outside world and also the native themselves. Uranus is a mind stimulating energy that presents in the form of over stimulated thoughts when in 12th house, which can make it harder to fall asleep or using a lot of technology and gadgets before you sleep, just about anything that tires out your brain into sleeping but contrarily it just makes it even more hard. You might enjoy reading or learning something before you sleep. These may be people who are constantly learning and perfecting or exploring their interests. They might be interested in the meta-physical world or subjects that are unknown, although they like knowing the logical and science behind some things that happen. They might think best at night or when alone. They can be late-sleepers, or likely to pull an all nighter. You might even pay attention to the engima you can be or are, you ll find out a solution to some big problem or create something that could potentially save the world and you ll be really unaware about it, unaware about your talent. You may hav felt sidelined because you were different or unique, which often makes you want to be alone. You prefer solitude than hanging with mainstream people who just gossip, you like to hang out with people who add value to your life. For some even if you are aware of your differentiating characteristics, you refer not to be treated as one. You might be into cosplays or sci-fi roleplays or games/fantasies. You may do volunteer work or help out less - privileged in your own time without telling one. You are introverted and sometimes too self-dependent, you may not seek help from others but wouldn't mind getting it. It can be hard to know the real you as you may not open your deeper selves to about anyone. You can have falling dreams or your dreams might often change. There can be unexpected changes in your sleeping, dreams and even a change in your sub-conscious self of how you are and how you feel. When under-developed you may not be open to the idea of spirituality.

I would like to share a few head canons for Gale Dekarios being in love with tav/you. If you liked this one and have a request for another character let me know. These ones have just been percolating for a bit.
Tumblr media
In Battle
He tries very hard to stay near you. He doesn’t like it when you go off on your own. He knows he doesn’t quite have the strength of Karlach or the sure footedness of Astarion, but he’s not just going to let you fight everyone on your own.
Sometimes he gets a little hurt that you always put yourself in harms way/take so much of the damage on the battlefield. Don’t you know that losing you would destroy him?
You have never witnessed it, but according to the other party members he goes feral if you’re knocked unconscious.
When you wake up it’s always with your head cradled in his lap as shadowheart works on the worst of the wounds.
He does this thing with his magic where he makes his hands really cold. It feels nice on your feverish skin as he gently smooths your hair away from your face, you don’t know why you feel so nauseous and sweaty after you black out but this little gesture helps you come back smoothly.
He has a hard time sleeping after a rough encounter. He keeps waking up and making sure you’re still breathing. In the end he gives up on sleeping and just reads by the fire, calming his nerves to the sound of your steady, stable breathing.
In Camp
He is hilariously fussy about what you eat.
“No, you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT subsist off of a loaf of bread, three olives and a bottle of wine. We are no longer young scholars barely SCRAPING by—“
Very resourceful when it comes to what you can scrape together out of barrels around camp. You were very skeptical when you watched him putting a variety of different bones into a cauldron as you left him back in camp one day. But you came back to a rich stew full of potatoes, some wild rice and even some cut up apple in the mix.
He likes it when you play with his hair. But he has to very pointedly avoid it if he’s in the middle of reading up on something.
“Darling, are you certain you’re not practiced in the arcane arts? I do think you’ve got some magic in those fingertips of yours, at the very least, with how quickly they can put me to sleep.”
When You’re Alone
It’s simple. He worships you. Perhaps it’s because his last lover was a goddess but it seems to come easy for him; the reverent words, the gentle touches, the utter devotion. Sometimes you catch him just… looking at you. His eyes softly hooded, a relaxed curve to his lips. It’s your favorite to ask what’s on his mind when he looks at you like that.
“Hm? Oh, nothing much. I’ve just been observing. Did you know you purse your lips when you’re reading something that you disagree with? Yes—hah—just like that.”
He loves to read WITH you. Especially loves to show you some of his favorite tomes. He’ll get you all nestled up against him and hold the book down in front of you. He reads much faster than you, so he busies himself kissing behind your ear or playing with your hair until you turn the page.
Gods does he love it when you ask him questions about something to do with magic. He loves watching the glint in your eye when he’s helped you understand something.
You love it when you get him rolling on a topic of theory that you know he doesn’t get to talk about much. Sometimes he loses you when he gets into the minutiae, but he’s so damn cute when he’s ranting about the wonder in the world.
In Intimate Moments
(Potential NSFW below.)
Of course it is not a surprise that he’s a generous lover. What is a surprise is how demanding he can be when he feels like it. He knows you are no stranger to a challenge and he loves to make things more exciting by presenting you with one.
“Of course I’m aware of our companions in camp. But it’s not as if we can afford ourselves more privacy. You’re just going to have to quiet those lovely little sounds you make while I touch you… let’s see… it was here wasn’t it? Ah, ah… shhhh, my love. Those pointy ears of Astarion’s might pick even that tiny sound.”
Gods does he know how to string words together to leave you completely undone.
Sometimes foreplay is mostly talk. He can get you going without even touching you.
“My love, I’ve not been able to stop thinking of the ways I want to touch you all day. Shall I tell you what’s been on my mind?”
His breath tickles against your ear as his hands smooth over your clothed body, telling you how he wants to take you. It’s all the more flustering when you know he always keeps his word.
Love making always starts with a kiss, deep and slow.
You feel him smile into the kiss when he slips his fingers into the front of your trousers and he feels just how aroused he’s made you.
“You are exquisite. A delicacy of the highest quality. Do you know that?”
He’s not one to bang it out for a quickie. He doesn’t like to feel like he’s stealing his time with you, or like he’s a young man again and hastily getting whatever he can before heading back to the dormitories. Every touch, every word, every thrust is slow and deliberate. He wants to relish the feeling of it all. He wants to soak you in.
Somehow, he always smells good. Like cinnamon and tea and… some earthen, herbaceous scent you cant place.
So many cuddles after you’re done.

One afternoon while Wei Ying is preparing dinner, A-Yuan looks up from his toy trucks and asks, “Baba, how comes lots of people in my class have a mom, but I don’t?”
Wei Ying’s hands falter at the chopping board. “Every family is different,” he explains carefully. “One mom, two moms, one dad, two dads. There’s loads of options.”
“But who decides?”
“What do you mean, baobei?” Wei Ying asks.
A-Yuan looks at him like he’s being silly. “Who decides who gets one baba, or two babas, or ten babas?”
Wei Ying laughs. He’s relieved A-Yuan only seems curious and isn’t upset. “Well, grown ups usually decide if they want a husband or a wife. And then they have baby radishes together.” He gives A-Yuan’s nose a gentle poke, making the boy giggle. “But some people like me decide to do it alone.” His explanation is probably not the best, but A-Yuan’s questions have admittedly taken him by surprise.
“So grown ups can have a husband or a wife…” A-Yuan holds up two sticky fingers to demonstrate. “And Baba still doesn’t have anyone?”
“I—” Wei Ying is gobsmacked. He stares at A-Yuan with his mouth agape. A-Yuan looks at him expectantly, like he’s waiting to hear an explanation as to why his Baba is incapable of finding love. Wei Ying quickly turns away and starts plating out their food. “Dinner’s ready.”
“Aunty Yanli said—”
“Eat up, baby.” Wei Ying grins wide and feeds A-Yuan a mouthful of rice, effectively shutting him up. And that’s the end of that.
Or so he thinks.
The next morning on the school playground, A-Yuan escapes from Wei Ying’s hold the second he spots Lan Jingyi, running into his friend’s arms like they’ve been separated for years. They see each other every weekday, and sometimes on the weekends too.
Wei Ying laughs and spots Jingyi’s dad looking similarly amused. The sun is out today and Lan Zhan’s pretty eyes sparkle in the sunlight. He’s utterly breathtaking. Wei Ying's heartbeat still stutters every time they see each other, and they see each other almost every day. It’s humiliating, really.
“Good morning, Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan greets, voice as rich and low as ever.
“Morning, Lan Zhan.” Wei Ying gives him a big, beaming grin. “How was your weekend without us?”
Lan Zhan doesn’t quite smile, but there’s laughter in his eyes. “Messy. Jingyi got into—”
“Mr Lan! Mr Lan!” A-Yuan runs back over and attaches himself to Lan Zhan’s leg like a limpet, creasing up his neatly ironed slacks.
“Yes, A-Yuan?” Lan Zhan’s hand instinctively goes to A-Yuan’s head, patting it like he does his own son’s.
“Baba needs a husband, Mr Lan,” A-Yuan says.
Wei Ying’s blood runs cold, his whole life flashing before his eyes. “A-Yuan, no—!” he splutters, trying to get the boy to stop.
But A-Yuan forges ahead without a care, voice filled with glee. “Can you marry my Baba please, Mr Lan? Then me and Jingyi can be real, actual brothers and be together forever! And then— And then we can all live happily ever after!”
“That’s enough, A-Yuan!” Wei Ying exclaims. His body feels like it’s on fire and he can hear the blood rushing in his ears. He crouches down to be at eye level with A-Yuan, despite the shakiness of his legs. “Remember what we said about thinking before we speak?”
“Ummm… that we should think before we speak?” A-Yuan blinks his innocent doe eyes up at him like he hasn’t just ruined Wei Ying’s life.
“Exactly,” Wei Ying sighs. But he doesn’t have it in him to get upset or annoyed with his son. “It’s time for you to head into class. Your teacher’s waiting for you.” He kisses A-Yuan on the forehead. “Bye bye, radish. Love you.”
“Bye bye, Baba! Love you too!” A-Yuan gives him a fat, slobbery kiss right back and then skips off to his classroom, hand in hand with Jingyi.
Wei Ying grits his teeth and slowly stands back up. Time to face the music. “I’m so sorry, Lan Zhan. I promise I didn’t put him up to it.” He doesn’t quite have the courage to meet Lan Zhan’s eyes. “He’s been asking questions about families and moms and dads and I don’t know, maybe I didn’t explain things properly. I’m so sorry, Lan Zhan.”
“No need to apologise,” Lan Zhan tells him.
“No, but there is!” Wei Ying insists. “Tell me how I can make it up to you?”
When there’s no response, Wei Ying braces himself and hesitantly looks up. Only to find that for some strange, inexplicable reason, Lan Zhan is smiling. “Let me take you out to dinner, Wei Ying.”
“What?!”
“A date,” Lan Zhan explains, like it isn’t clear enough already. “To make it up to me.”
“But Lan Zhan, I— You—” It seems that all Wei Ying is capable of today is sputtering and making a fool of himself.
Lan Zhan steps closer, still with that amused glint in his eyes, and gently brushes away a strand of hair that’s blown into Wei Ying’s face. “Don’t you want to live happily ever after, Wei Ying?” he asks.
Wei Ying feels like he’s died and gone straight to heaven.
