Lan JingYi usually didn't have much luck. Even so, he could deal with the shit that happened to him pretty well.
But this time?
He was so screwed.
And the worst part is that Jiang Wanyn is too. Although, maybe not to much, 'cause he is a powerful sect leader and he can do whatever he wants.
Then, he remembers A-Yuan, Senior Wei, Hanguang-Jun, Zewu-Jun and Shufu Qiren and changes his mind.
Jiang Wanyn is so screwed too.

"JingYi, what's that on your finger?" SiZhui asks and he swears. He was hoping he could talk with Wanyn first. To have some kind of back up at least. "Why does it look like a bonding ring?".
"SiZhui, please, I can't explain right now. Let me go and I'll explain everything to you later. Please?" he begs and his best friend eventually nods.
He tries not to panic on the way to Wanyn, but he can't help it. He knows that bonding rings are rare and - which is more concerning - permanent and very visible.
He is so terrified he doesn't even remember to knock. He just opens and closes the door as fast as he can.
"What the..." Wanyn starts, Zidian sparkling, and then relaxes when he sees JingYi, a fond and amused look on his face. Zidian, however, keeps sparkling until it curls comfortably around his right middle finger and hand. "Guess you saw it too, judging by the way you enter here".
JingYi blinks, taken aback by the way Wanyn is handling with the situation. He definitely didn't expect the older man to look this calm and pleased. Although maybe he shouldn't be worried at all, considering what a bonding ring means.
"Yeah, I wanted to talk with you first before someone else saw it. I didn't want to do something about it that you wouldn't agree with," he admits, blushing a little. He still feels flustered sometimes, even after three years. "So... What do you wanna do?" he asks, just for clarification, all the fear gone.
Wanyn looks at him. Amused and undeniably fond. Adoringly even. "Whatever you decide, I'll suport you" it's the (obvious) non answer. It's been a while since the older man let him decide things, always following, never leading.
Not this time, though. JingYi needs to know what Wanyn really wants, because the love of his life deserves to be heard and have an active voice in their relationship. Later, he can go back deciding all the little things alone if Wanyn is okay with that.
"I want to hear what you want first, before I make a decision, please" he says, knowing too well the 'please' is kinda useless at this point. He just uses it as a habit and a reminder that he should be careful with the things he asks. He doesn't want to take advantage of the man who would give him the world if he wanted too.
"I want you, baobei. I don't give a fuck about how we are going to do that, as long as I can have you".
JingYi heart swells and melts and he can't suppress the grin that spreads to his whole face. For a moment, a teeny tiny moment, he thinks about teasing him and saying something playful. He doesn't, because he knows he'll have better occasions for that.
"Very well, then. In this case... Gege, do you wanna get married?".
Wanyn doesn't say anything, just laughs and kisses him.
JingYi thinks that means "yes".
