When the parcels start appearing, Jiang Cheng can’t help thinking they’re for Wei Wuxian. But each and every time, they’re brought to him.
“Open it, open it, open it!” Wei Wuxian cries, latching onto him and grinning. Nie Huaisang watches from behind his fan, gaze bright and curious. Absently, Jiang Cheng registers the sweep of long eyelashes as Nie Huaisang looks away, begins to fan his face.
“Let him open it how he wants,” Nie Huaisang says. Wei Wuxian withdraws, pouting but still vibrating with excitement. Jiang Cheng takes that moment to turn away and unfold the wrapping.
Before it had been things like pressed flowers and scenes painted on polished stones. Today, it’s a small wooden carving of the most adorable puppy. Jiang Cheng holds it up, marveling at the fine detail.
Wei Wuxian exclaims in delight. “The maiden after your heart has quite good taste in gifts! In men, not so much—”
“Shut up!”
“It’s cute,” Nie Huaisang says, placating. “Do you like it?”
It reminds him of his three puppies from before. Distantly, he thinks he had told Huaisang the story after drinking one night. But the more he tries to remember, all he can think of is red-cheeked laughter.
