    Summary

    They both turned to Lan Qiren in pure horror, Lan Zhan’s body instinctively leaning over Wei Yingʼs to shield him from Lan Qiren's furious gaze and to protect him from the unwanted presence of another alpha in Wei Yingʼs safe place despite the blanket hiding both of them anyways, only Lan Zhan's shoulders being visible.

    But that was enough for Lan Qiren to notice first thing, his nephew's bare shoulders, then his nephew's bare forehead, and the omega lying under him that was probably also naked underneath the duvet, before Lan Qiren's face started taking a deeper, concerning shade of red, his nostrils flaring as his chest heaved rapidly, his scent spiking and sharpening as a vein popped out on his forehead.

    He parted his lips to probably give Lan Zhan the worst and harshest yelling and lecturing of his life, only for him to drop to the ground with a loud huff of robes.

    latibule (n.):
    a hiding place; a place of safety and comfort.

    Lan Zhan's once safe and comforting hideout gets found by an orphic stranger, and then Lan Zhan finds home.

    Summary

    “Biologically, Xingchen and I are brothers,” Song Lan had said, and Xue Yang’s world had frozen in place. “Blood related.” Just so there was no misunderstanding.
    “I’m sorry we didn’t tell you before,” Xiao Xingchen had said. Fingers twisting in his sweater, like he was going to tear a hole in it. “That wasn’t okay. I understand if you’re—any feelings you have are valid.”
    Brothers.
    “Twins?” Xue Yang had barely recognized his own voice.

    Summary

    Xiao Xingchen’s other hand comes to rest on Xue Yang’s shin above the one already rubbing circles into his skin. “Ah,” he says, low and pleased and pitched for Song Lan’s ears as well as Xue Yang’s. “He likes you, little fox.”

    The sharp thing in Xue Yang’s chest settles warily. He does not, for the moment, ask what would your boyfriend not liking me look like?

    Summary

    Xiao Xingchen’s shrug is elegant. “Haven't you ever invited a bunch of friends to an event, just in case some of them don’t show up?”

    “No,” says Song Lan, who doesn’t have events.

    “No,” says Xue Yang, who doesn’t have friends.

    Xio Xingchen’s mouth twitches. “I was hoping you would both come, if that’s any consolation.”

    (xue yang and song lan work at a bougie café. screenwriter xiao xingchen takes an interest.)
