Summary
The second the door to the apartment clicks shut behind them, Yibo is all over Xiao Zhan.
Yibo, with his hair impeccably styled, still dressed in his tailored designer suit, and his makeup pristine — Yibo looking every inch of the celebrity he is.
As if Yibo scrubbing away the traces of the evening was not precious time he was willing to sacrifice.
As if Yibo couldn’t bring himself to do so.
As if all Yibo wanted to do was come home running to Xiao Zhan, because Xiao Zhan’s words were all that mattered.
Yibo’s arms reach around Xiao Zhan’s waist to tug him closer. “Baobao, let me take care of you tonight. Please…”
The ‘if you trust me’ is implicit.Or: The one where the boys are celebrating Xiao Zhan’s birthday, and as a gift, Xiao Zhan learns to let go and trust Yibo to take care of him.

Summary
“Oh, there goes another one.” Nie Huaisang mentions with a sigh, snapping his fan open and gently fanning himself.
“What do you mean? Do you know what’s going on?” Wei Wuxian asks, his gaze still on Lan Zhan and the person. They wore the Lan sect robes, so maybe they were talking about a night hunt, but if that were the case why did Lan Zhan look so… uncomfortable?
“You may not know this, Wei-Xiong, but Lan Zhan receives a lot of courting gifts when The Cloud Recesses invites other clans for the lectures every year.”
Or, after finding out Lan Zhan gets courting gifts, Wei Wuxian decides to his own gift.

Summary
“Well—maybe you’ll get lucky, and Lan Wangji won’t like you at all. Then he might send you home and keep up his part of the deal anyway!”
Nie Huaisang meant it as a joke, but Wei Ying sees potential.
After all: if there’s one thing he’s learned in the months since the engagement, it’s that he is utterly unsuitable for a place like the Cloud Recesses.
All he has to do is act like it.
(...After a century of war, the great sects are looking to make peace by the most common means: marriage. When Wei Wuxian is promised to the Lan Clan, it is thought to be a grave insult.
Things do not turn out the way anyone expects.)

Summary
[Rien ne va plus: "All bets are off / the stakes are set"]
When does years of pretending get too much to bear? When does it start to effect a friendship? And what happens if you slip before you get the chance to talk about it?
When Yibo begins noticing cracks forming on his friendship with Xiao Zhan, he knows it must be because they are not being honest with each other. It's definitely not the lack of love, because there is a little bit too much of that, enough to lead to a slip. Terrified of losing even what he does have of him, Yibo takes a risk and jumps. Now the only question is: will Xiao Zhan take the plunge with him, or will he lose him for good?

Summary
As graduation nears, college sweethearts Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan find their paths taking very different turns. Despite best efforts, their relationship ends. Five years later their paths cross again. Past choices are reckoned with, new choices are made.
In Chongqing, there is a saying that in every adult’s memory, there is a huangge tree. For Xiao Zhan there are two. The giant one in the courtyard of the compound apartment he lived in as a child. Hot summer days were spent under its shade drawing chalk figures on the grey slate floor while his yeye sat with the other neighbourhood grandpas drinking tea and playing mah-jong.
And there was another one, tucked away on the side of a rugged mountain road, grown gnarly from the side of a stone wall, aerial roots hanging greedily from its branches, grasping at life. Under this huangge tree, Xiao Zhan had felt the first stirrings of spring in his heart, sensed its bud and felt it bloom, and had, with a small pocket knife, painstakingly carved the numbers 1823 into its trunk.

"You're sure this is okay?" Yibo mumbles now, curling his knees beneath his chin on the toilet seat.
"You don't have to check in with me every time," Xiao Zhan says, sounding warm over the fuzzy connection. His face is clear and his eyes are bright. Yibo feels himself relaxing. "Just tell me all about it later, yeah?"

Two big business giants in the jewelry industry in S city have joined together in marriage, but the honorable younger master Xiao chose not the heir of the Wang family but the illegitimate son, Wang Yibo, who was looked down on by the upper class.

Summary
The hushed words Yibo whispered three weeks ago ring in his ears again; they were right here, on this same bed, side by side, but not touching, scared of creating an explosion should any part of them touch where there’d be no reason to hesitate or look over their shoulders or ever stop.
The last thing Yibo said before Xiao Zhan leaned in and swallowed him whole.
You won’t regret me, ge. Promise.

Summary
"It's not my fault, alright?"
"I never said it's your fault."
"Still you're mad at me."
"Whom should I be mad at then? Our neighbors?"
There's something about Lan Zhan being upset with him that never sits well with Wei Ying. It leaves him feeling wrong, unguarded, untethered. He does not like it, in the least bit, when Lan Zhan gets genuinely angry. He does not like fighting with his husband.
or: Lan Zhan does not want to understand this time.

Summary
As if all the breath was knocked out of him, he gasped loudly, taking in the sight before him. The nighttime skyline of Beijing was beautiful, he always knew that, but to see it from the top of this building, reflected in the river below them, caught him off guard. His eyes hurt with how brightly the city lights cast a glow against the dark blanket of sky, but he kept his eyes wide, taking everything in. The way the city moved, the way the city breathed, the way it winked at him, it was the most perfect view.
He felt the hand, still in his, squeeze, bringing him out of his reverie.
Scratch that, the nighttime skyline was not the most perfect view.
The boy standing in front of him, arms outstretched, hand in his, hair flying in the wind as he smiled widely back at him with the city lights behind him. His lungs screamed with the way the wind seemed to punch the air out of them. His heart pounded as Yibo’s smile grew impossibly wider. Despite the absence of light on the rooftop, he somehow caught a glint from his eye flashing at him, asking, begging him to come closer.
That.
This was the most perfect view.

Some time ago, answering a fan's question of whether he would admit his feelings once he fell in love with someone, he said, that that would be too much of a risk, that he wouldn't do it. And he believed in what he said back then.
But he had no idea how hard it would be to keep this to himself once it actually happens.Series
