Yes.

Our little A-Yuan is entering the world of long division.

I wish him well as he continues this journey alone. I am no longer able to walk the path beside him.

Farewell my son.

[i-am-gusu]

I finish putting A-Yuan to bed and then it shall be your turn.

Our little A-Yuan is entering the world of long division.

I wish him well as he continues this journey alone. I am no longer able to walk the path beside him.

Farewell my son.

[i-am-gusu]

I can do without tea if I can have some of you.

Our little A-Yuan is entering the world of long division.

I wish him well as he continues this journey alone. I am no longer able to walk the path beside him.

Farewell my son.

[i-am-gusu]

I shall bring back gifts from the journey, and use the letters you so hate in math to write you poetry that I shall send you during our time apart. 

You will never be forgotten.

Our little A-Yuan is entering the world of long division.

I wish him well as he continues this journey alone. I am no longer able to walk the path beside him.

Farewell my son.

[i-am-gusu]

Worry not, I shall accompany him a little longer on his path.

Our little A-Yuan is entering the world of long division.

I wish him well as he continues this journey alone. I am no longer able to walk the path beside him.

Farewell my son.

I hate these glasses so much. They keep falling off. They get fogged whenever I am drinking something hot. They get smudged so easily, I have stopped counting the amount of time I have to clean them in a day. 

… They get in the way of kissing Wei Ying…

I am already considering Lasik surgery so I will not have to deal with the inconvenience of wearing these daily.

I have been told that I will get used to them fast enough, and I am trying to be patient, but it is getting more and more difficult as my patience is getting tested multiple times a day. 

… The only perk of this is that Wei Ying likes them. Really likes them. It helps, when I am feeling like throwing the damn things in the garbage. The headaches and the squinting were uncomfortable, but somehow this feels worse. 

Mianmian says I am being overdramatic about them. Huaisang agrees. He also wears glasses occasionally just for the look of it, which I still cannot wrap my head around now that I know how it feels. 

…I hate that, as I’m writing this, I still see the frame in my field of vision. I did not choose the right kind of glasses, I should have taken a wider frame…

I can make lunch and think about lunch both at the same time

I would like to take this moment to remind the world about how cute I am. Like I am a legit snack.

I may be a happily married man but that just makes me a forbidden snack!

Y'all want me but only Lan Zhan gets to have me.

Because damn if he isn’t the full course meal.

——————————-

On a side note… okay so I need to tell y'all a story. Ghosty and I went on a date night last night to the movies right?

And we got all dolled up and extra handsome (I know is it possible? Yes. it is. We do get more handsome.)

And well we decided movie first then food so we don’t have to do that awkward time watching thing to wrap up our meal and could just take our time.

So I decide to flirt a bit. I should know better by now. Somehow flirting with Lan Zhan ALWAYS backfires these days.

I look over to him as we get out of the car and say “I don’t know if I’ll be able to sneak you in.”

And he looks all confused like why would you need to sneak me in? We’re paying for the tickets. We’re bajillionairs and don’t need to worry about that.

So I grin at him and say “They don’t let snacks into the theater.”

And yesssss Look at them pink ears. Operation successful! I win! So we watch our movie and I’m all smug.

I should have realized I was in trouble when he didn’t say anything.

He let me sit pretty on that allllll the way until dinner.

I asked him what he was thinking of ordering and he said he wasn’t sure.

Which was odd because Lan Zhan is actually like really decisive. So I look up from the menu to look at him and he has this smug ass expression on his face.

“I’m not sure I need anything since I already have a full course meal right here.”

I… arghhhhhh!!!! :LKFjda;fkjsad;fjda;fja; f Lan ZHaN!!!!

I don’t remember most of dinner after that but I do remember quite enjoying “dessert” when we got home ;)

[i-am-gusu]

I will go with you both. I am curious to see the inside of the establishment. 

Nie Huaisang would like it to be stated for the record as follows: One could not expect him to bring someone as rigid and fancy as Lan Zhan into someplace as low class as a McDonalds

And he would not have been willing to face the wrath of Lan Qiren should he have chosen to try.

He claims that he would be incredibly surprised to find out that Lan Zhan had even set foot in anything so low as an Olive Garden or the like ever in his life as the man would only be seen in a place that had no less than 3 Micheline Stars.

I for one find these to be rather weak excuses, but shall let him off with a warning for now.

Apparently, APPARENTLY

Lan Zhan

My dearest darling husband.

Love of my life

Light of my days

Was not aware before this moment

That going to a private room in any given restaurant was NOT, in fact, the base standard.

All this time I thought he was being all fancy trying to impress and woo me!

I have been disillusioned!!!

[i-am-gusu]

It was never my intention. I like the way the café is now. And if you think our customers like it too, I’ll keep it that way. 

But, you have not told me your preference: would you like me to try McDonalds with you? I can’t say I have the proper palate to appreciate the cuisine but. I can try.

[i-am-gusu]

But. A café is not a restaurant? And I would not want a private room in mine. I would not want hidden places where people could potentially try to steal or harm my bunnies. 

... Although. Should we add a bunny-less private room for our customers?

... Well, I *have* been trying to impress and woo you. Although the choice of the restaurant had nothing to do with it. I was not aware that the presence of a private room was something abnormal in any given restaurants.

[i-am-gusu]

I did not know this specific thing was associated with strict upbringing. I can’t remember Uncle ever mentionning this place, beyond generic terms perhaps. Huaisang did, maybe? 

If it is that important to you, I do not mind trying. 

@i-am-gusu

How could you have hidden this from me for so long? How have I never realized—- Just… We need to fix this immediately!

[i-am-gusu]

Wei Ying. I did not know it was that big of a deal. I was not hiding it from you, and we never talked about that. 

@i-am-gusu

[i-am-gusu]

Will do. <3

@i-am-gusu

Hey Lan Zhan,

I had a talk with A-Yuan. Thanks for calling me to let me know he had my phone. I’m sorry you had to be the parent even when you were off at Xichen-ge’s place.

I know I’m not much of a dad but I figured I’d at least be able to pull off babysitting for a few hours.

I sat A-Yuan down and explained that he wasn’t in trouble but not to do that kind of thing again and that my phone and apps should only be used with our permission and supervision and all that stuff yadda yadda so on and so forth. He got a bit sniffly but he cheered up when I told him he could pick where we ordered out food because of course I burned dinner again.

You got me that nice flameless stove and I can’t even use it right. Sorry I made you waste your money ahh…

Anyway I changed my password since now the entire internet apparently knows how to unlock my phone now. I’m not sure how he found out the password… or knew how to @ you. I didn’t ask. I didn’t want to upset him more and it wasn’t really the point of the talk.

Guess he’s just too smart for his own good.

Anyway just wanted to let you know that I think I was at least able to take care of that much. So hopefully you won’t have to worry and can enjoy your time with your brother.

I’m not sure if you’ll want to talk to A-Yuan too. You’d probably be able to explain things better than I did but at least I don’t think he’ll do it again.

Ugh I hate making that boy cry. :(

Anyway, love you. See you when you get home.

[i-am-gusu]

I am leaving Ge’s home at the time we agreed, there is no rush. 

No, Wei Ying is the best. He thought of me when ordering food, even though I was not there. 

A-Yuan is a good son to his good Baba. That’s what family do. They comfort each other.

[i-am-gusu]

I don’t need to talk with A-Yuan, I trust that you said the right thing to him. You made him smile again, and I know our son will respect your word. 

As for the stove, there is never a waste of money when it comes to my husbun’s care and comfort. 

I will be home soon, Dage is on his way to Xichen right now, I will leave when he arrives.
