    Summary

    Look, it wasn’t like Wei Ying meant to get so deep into the lie.

    He'd started out by simply saying ‘sorry, I’m taken’ when anyone asked him out.

    He hadn’t really been expecting to have to answer follow up questions from his co-workers like: ‘Is it serious? What do they do for work? Do they live in town? How did you meet? What are they like?’

    Wei Ying did not have a great memory for things outside of engineering and product design, so there was absolutely no way he was going to be able to keep his story straight if he really just made everything up.

    He'd just needed a… a mental model of what a potential partner for him could be like. So his brain had pulled up the memory of a guy in college that he'd always vaguely thought that—if he ever did settle down with someone—it would be like him.

    He possibly didn’t realize just how far things had snowballed until one day when one of his colleagues said:

    “Hey! I was talking to my cousin the other day and she actually knows your husband. Small world right?”

    Summary

    “Would you mind telling me how long it’s been?” Lan Zhan asks.

    The client meets his gaze. “Um… I— Is it relevant?” he says. “For— for you to do the job, I mean.”

    Lan Zhan doesn’t answer him, not immediately; for a moment, he watches the man squirm. He really wants to believe he’s not being scammed, not just because it would save him a ton of paperwork or because it wouldn’t be the first time — people seeking a cleaning job that is easier to explain and get away with, but then balking at the price and refusing to pay it, since it’s not just a clean up service —, but because this feels, still, a little weird.

    He doesn’t seem to be lying, but Lan Zhan doesn’t think he’s getting the full truth.

    So, he gives him a half-truth too, “Yes.”

    “Um,” he repeats. “I’d say it’s been a few days. Three. Maybe five.”

    Lan Zhan nods. He puts down his bag, starting to set up his things.

    Summary

    The Cloud Recesses Guest Lectures were held every three years for disciples between the ages of fifteen and eighteen. They had three purposes.

    The first (and the reason it was hosted by the Lan) was to provide a shared baseline understanding of the core cultivation topics that underpinned every sect while not divulging clan-specific approaches.

    The second was to create opportunities for friendships and alliances that would reduce the chance of war between the clans.

    The third, and most important, was for the clans to replenish their bloodline by finding compatible mates with strong cultivation skills. In the last month of the lectures, challenges to test compatibility could be issued.

    Wei Wuxian challenges Lan Wangji, sure that they are compatible mates. The Lan refuse to allow the Challenge.

    They come to regret it.
