Summary
“What for?” Jiang Cheng says with a small shrug, and even that motion tugs on the wounds on his chest. “It’s not like being dead wouldn’t be easier,” he mutters, lost in his thoughts of how little his family really cares for him.
“No one is going to die on my watch,” Nie Mingjue decisively says and sits down in the chair next to Jiang Cheng’s bed. “I never failed a client.”
“Then you really shouldn’t be here, I would hate to break that streak for you,” Jiang Cheng bitterly says and Nie Mingjue levels him with a look that pins him into place.
“Then don’t fucking die.”

Summary
Nie Mingjue pinches the bridge of his nose. He feels like at this point succumbing to a fit of rage would be the easiest, but he doesn’t want to yell. Not yet, anyway.
“Absolutely not,” he says, his voice tightly controlled, not for the first time and Jiang Cheng hums.
“Mingjue,” he says and Nie Mingjue has to take a deep breath so that he doesn’t lose it right then and there.
“Wanyin,” he gives back, because two can play that game.
“It fits perfectly,” Jiang Cheng tells him for at least the third time in the last five minutes and that’s it.
Nie Mingjue has had enough.

Summary
“Huaisang went to Wei Wuxian to ask what you would like in a partner, because you know Huaisang, he always goes about these things in the most complicated way possible.”
“Oh,” Jiang Cheng breathes out, because he can guess where this is going.
He knew that damn list would come back to bite him in the ass eventually.
“Wanyin, why do you love me?” Nie Mingjue asks and suddenly all traces of humour are gone from his voice.

Summary
Jiang Cheng stares at the letter in his hands.
“You can’t be serious,” he says, but when he raises his eyes at Nie Mingjue he seems deadly serious.
“Of course I am,” Nie Mingjue replies and pushes a scroll towards him. “My courtship gift.”
Jiang Cheng blinks but doesn’t move.

Summary
Jiang Cheng knows what’s going to happen a moment before Lan Xichen steps away from the camera.
Lan Xichen gives him a reassuring smile, but Jiang Cheng can tell that he’s annoyed and he clenches his teeth.
It wasn’t his idea to come here and pretend to be a model. He told Lan Xichen over and over again that he couldn’t do this, that he might have the looks of a model—even that is debatable—but he sure as fuck can’t work as one, and now it’s going to prove Wei Wuxian right.
At least that what Jiang Cheng thinks is going to happen but then Nie Mingjue steps up behind the camera.

Summary
Jiang Cheng is going through his correspondence when suddenly his second in command barges in.
“Jiang-zongzhu, it’s—Nie-zongzhu is here,” he stammers and Jiang Cheng frowns at him.
Sure, after what happened, everyone should be wary of Nie Huaisang, but it certainly doesn’t require this amount of fear.
“Did Huaisang say what he wants? He didn’t send a letter,” Jiang Cheng grumbles, getting up because surely letting Nie Huaisang wait, despite his lack of an announcement of his impending arrival is not the right answer.
“Not—not Nie Huaisang, Jiang-zongzhu. It’s—Nie Mingjue is waiting for you,” his second stammers and okay, that finally gets Jiang Cheng’s undivided attention.

Summary
“I was just wondering—you didn’t get to see Baxia last time and I wondered if you’d like to? You seemed to be interested and today there are no vet visits on the agenda.”
“That would be awesome,” Jiang Wanyin breathes out, his eyes lighting up and suddenly he seems as eager as a kid that was promised a treat.
Nie Mingjue will have to invite him over more often.
When they get back to Nie Mingjue’s apartment and into the living-room, Baxia is nowhere to be seen. Which—on the one hand it’s to be expected, she’s a cat after all, but on the other hand it’s goddamn strange because she’s as huge as some dogs Nie Mingjue has seen and she really shouldn’t be this good at hiding.
And she doesn't show up at all for the whole afternoon.

Summary
Nie Mingjue is still shaking out his hand when they leave Jiang Cheng’s family’s manor.
Jiang Cheng is unnaturally still at his side and Nie Mingjue knows that he fucked up, big time. But it just couldn’t be helped. Yu Ziyuan and Jiang Fengmian were absolutely trash parents and Nie Mingjue would not let that stand.
“I’m not sorry,” Nie Mingjue says when they reach his car. “I mean, I’m sorry I so clearly upset you, but I’m not going to apologize for decking your father. Or yelling at your mother. They deserved it,” Nie Mingjue huffs out, but his heart sinks when Jiang Cheng can’t meet his eyes.
“Can you just drive me home?” he asks and Nie Mingjue is certain that this is it.
Jiang Cheng was always so afraid that he would be the one to fuck up their relationship but in the end it turns out to be Nie Mingjue.

Summary
“I know that you’re not angry with me, not really, but whatever it is it’s eating away at you and I guess I just want to—if you’re going to break up with me, just tell me, alright?” Nie Mingjue whispers, not able to meet Jiang Cheng’s eyes over that.
“Why would I break up with you?” Jiang Cheng asks him and he sounds genuinely confused, so Nie Mingjue dares to hope that he’s not going to do that.
“You’re avoiding me; my touch, my eyes. You’re not even talking to me over dinner anymore; I miss your rants about work,” Nie Mingjue huffs out with a small laugh. “I don’t know what to think.”
There’s a long silence in the kitchen, one that worries Nie Mingjue more than anything before, but then he can hear Jiang Cheng standing up, his chair scrapping along the floor and before Nie Mingjue can snap at him to properly lift the chair Jiang Cheng wraps his arms around his middle.
He presses close, presses his face right into Nie Mingjue’s shoulder and then he just breathes there for a moment.
Nie Mingjue dares to think that they will be alright.

Summary
“He’s the Chief Cultivator!” Jiang Cheng says again. “He has duties and responsibilities. Just like me and Mingjue. We are our own person first, and then we are Sect Leaders, and sometimes even that gets swapped around. We’re only husbands third and we understand that.”
“That doesn’t sound very loving at all,” Wei Wuxian grumbles and Jiang Cheng rolls his eyes at him.
“Because you are entirely too spoilt already. It’s not—it’s not all or nothing, Wei Wuxian. Just because he can’t be here in two days doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me. Just because I can’t be there when it’s his birthday doesn’t mean I don’t love him. It doesn’t change anything about our love for each other, it just means we have other priorities.”

Summary
Jiang Cheng can’t let the monster get to him, but he’s also too far away to push Nie Mingjue out of the way or to block the monster.
His only choice is Zidian.
He swings the whip wide and hits Nie Mingjue square in the chest, a split second after Nie Mingjue noticed the danger he’s in.
Jiang Cheng could see in his face that he already accepted his fate in that moment, but he will not allow this.
Nie Mingjue will not die on him on a stupid night hunt of all things.
Zidian’s force flings Nie Mingjue backwards, right into a tree and Jiang Cheng does not have the time to be worried about him.
The worry—and the regret—will come later.

Summary
Jiang Cheng is disoriented. He doesn’t know where he is and he doesn’t know where he’s stumbling towards, but right now it doesn’t matter.
Right now he just needs to get away.
From Wen Qing and Wen Ning, but especially from Wei Wuxian who is planning something so horrifying that Jiang Cheng’s stomach churns with fear and horror at just the thought of it.
Jiang Cheng will not allow Wei Wuxian to rip his own core out just because Jiang Cheng is too weak and lost his.
He will not allow his brother to suffer the same.

Summary
Jiang Cheng still isn’t entirely clear on how he ends up at a restaurant, waiting for his blind date, but he hopes that Nie Huaisang is adequately smug about it.
Nie Huaisang was especially tight lipped about his date today, citing over and over again that if he gave Jiang Cheng even a hint it couldn’t be considered a blind date anymore and Jiang Cheng can’t deny that he’s a tiny bit nervous.
It doesn’t help that he’s way too early and his date is running–he checks his watch again—late by two minutes now.
Jiang Cheng is reluctantly reading the menu for the tenth time when a light knocking on the table alerts him to look up – and keep looking up until he is met with the charmingly bashful smile of Nie Mingjue.
No one can blame Jiang Cheng if the first words to leave his mouth that evening are, "I'm gonna kill Nie Huaisang."

Summary
Jiang Cheng really wishes he could be anywhere else but here.
Nie Huaisang not only picked his clothes and the date, but also time and place. And letting him do that turned out to be the biggest mistake Jiang Cheng has ever made, because he’s sitting in the restaurant he used to frequent with Nie Mingjue and Jiang Cheng desperately doesn’t want to be here.
He hadn’t realized it before, because he lived in a city that Nie Mingjue had never stepped a foot in before, but he still remembers so much of his time with Nie Mingjue. Especially now that the reminders are everywhere.
Jiang Cheng still remembers the first time they came here, the food they usually ate, how fun the drive here could be if they took the sub. Just. Little things. All of which tear at Jiang Cheng’s heart and he already knows that no matter who will come for this blind date, he will snap at them unnecessarily just because of that.
He really wishes he could forget all of his time with Nie Mingjue. And that wish only intensifies when the one Jiang Cheng is supposed to meet for a date is Nie Mingjue himself.

Summary
“How can you betray me like that?” Wei Wuxian howls. “You’re going to walk these—these beasts? And you’re choosing them over me? You know I’m afraid!”
“I can maybe—” Jiang Cheng starts and Nie Mingjue knows where this is going.
He’s going to offer to call the shelter to tell them he can’t make it today and Nie Mingjue has had enough.
“No,” he says and reaches behind him to open the apartment door, pushing Jiang Cheng inside before closing the door again.
“Now listen here,” Nie Mingjue says as he turns back to Wei Wuxian. He's getting a piece of his mind now, if he wants to or not.

Summary
He had always known that Nie Mingjue is a very attractive man—only a blind person wouldn’t see that with one look—but now it’s the little things he keeps noticing about him. Like the laughter lines. Or the dimples. Or the way he slightly cocks his head when he listens to someone and the way he tries to give all of them the same attention.
Over the course of the evening Jiang Cheng also realizes that Nie Mingjue’s teeth are very straight and very white and from that point on it’s nearly impossible to take his eyes off Nie Mingjue.
It takes Jiang Cheng a little while longer to realize that beneath the perpetual tan Nie Mingjue seems to sport there are freckles to be found.
They are dusted all across his cheeks and nose and Jiang Cheng has to fight the urge to do something stupid.
He has never seen a man this attractive and he doesn’t even know where it’s coming from because he wasn’t that smitten with Nie Mingjue when he first met him. Or just four hours ago.

Summary
“Why can’t you just tell the truth?” Jiang Yanli asks. “You’re obviously hungover as hell. I don’t know why you think lying would help you here.”
“I’m not lying,” Jiang Cheng says, again, the despair almost choking him up. “Why can’t you just believe me? I know I was supposed to drive, and I’m not allowed to drink with my meds. So I didn’t have a drop of alcohol all evening.”
Jiang Cheng pleadingly looks at his sister but he can tell just from her face that she doesn’t believe him.
“I’m disappointed, A-Cheng,” she says and it almost feels like she slapped Jiang Cheng in the face.

Summary
“You’re a menace,” Nie Mingjue grumbles, but when he walks past Jiang Cheng to his own room—no doubt for a change himself—he puts his hand to Jiang Cheng’s shoulder and squeezes. “I’m glad you’re here,” he says, his cheeks a little pink and it makes butterflies erupt in Jiang Cheng’s stomach.
Maybe today is the day he’s gonna take a risk for a change.
“Same,” Jiang Cheng mutters, and once Nie Mingjue is gone he gets up to go into the kitchen.
He’s nervous all of a sudden, even though there’s no reason for him to act if he doesn’t feel like it, but when Nie Mingjue comes back, freshly showered and changed into more comfortable clothes Jiang Cheng thinks that he wants to take that risk.
It’s not even that much of a risk, not when it’s Nie Mingjue, because no matter what his answer will be, he’ll still be Jiang Cheng’s friend afterwards, that much Jiang Cheng is sure of.

“How are you doing? I feel like we didn’t have a chance to talk at all lately,” Nie Mingjue says and settles right in at Jiang Cheng’s side.
It’s a heady feeling, having Nie Mingjue this close and his full attention on him, but Jiang Cheng tries his best not to let it get to him.
It doesn’t mean anything. They are friends, and that’s it.
Sometimes, he even believes it.

Summary
“Huaisang,” Jiang Cheng hisses, and he’s sure his face must be absolutely pale because from all the possible options, getting yelled at by Nie Mingjue and disappointing him must be the worst of them.
They are on the verge of something, Jiang Cheng is aware of that—has to be really, with all the flirting they have been doing—but this is going to ruin everything. He would take being yelled at his by mother anytime over disappointing Nie Mingjue and ruining whatever chance he has with him.
“Don’t worry, da-ge has our backs.”
