#the mysterious merchant may or may not have been nhs
Text
WangXian are travelling as they do and they enter this cozy little food place for a bite. Of course everyone starts gossiping, because it's not often you see the Hanguang-Jun and the Yiling Patriarch around these parts - and they all kind of expect the usual mean, outlandish stuff about how the beacon of righteousness of the Lan sect has been tainted etc, etc.
What they don't expect is...
"Oh my God, how is he this hot this time around too?!"
"I know, right? To be so hot across two lifetimes should be illegal, oh my God!"
"You guys haven't seen him back at the Burial Mounds... Heavens, I couldn't think for a week after he looked at me once!"
"I still have that erotica I bought off that merchant... the one with the 'I was kindnapped by the Yiling Laozu' storyline. It still hits."
"I have so many of those! It's a miracle how my spouse hasn't found them yet! They're so good, though - it's like the author met the man himself!"
Wei Ying turns so red he almost matches his hair ribbon. "People used to write porn of me?!"
"Mn."
"... you don't appear surprised."
"Wei Ying is very attractive, he has roused many people's fantasies."
"You would know, huh?" A little smile. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you bought into the sexy evil Yiling Laozu propaganda."
Lan Zhan's ears turn red. "...I have been curious, yes."
"No way! Don't tell me you actually bought the stuff?!"
"..."
"And here I was, thinking you'd never touch anything like that after our time in the library!" Wei Ying laughs, but he is flustered still, his cheeks blushy. "You have to show me your favorite scene from those ridiculous books!"
"I already have."
Wei Ying blinks three times, then realization hits him so hard he almost falls off his chair.
"Lan Zhan!!"
