"Not exactly, no," he concedes, "but saying Hanguang Jun is someone who kisses people senseless in the forest but he's also the stoic, rule-abiding, no-nonsense second jade of Gusu... I can't reconcile them."
The alcohol wasn't exactly helping him make a cohesive point. Besides that, besides that, the Lan Wangji he knew had rejected anything close to flirting from Wei Wuxian! And especially then, especially when they'd been at the archery competition, it felt like they'd barely been on speaking terms!
"It's like... you and I are... both rice wines. But if one is made in Yiling and one is made in Yunmeng, they'll taste different, but they're both rice wines at their core, yes? But saying Lan Wangji is... is like comparing a cup of wine with... with a pickled plum. They might both be aged for their flavor, but they're not the same thing at all!"
The metaphor had made a lot more sense in his head than the rambling nonsense he'd spouted, which meant he was probably well and truly drunk at this point, but he couldn't be bothered to care. It was little wonder this Wei Wuxian hadn't wanted to share! Tried to seduce Lan Zhan? It seemed a blurry line between Lan Wangji trying to teach him a lesson and actually returning any sort of advances.
But, his mind helpfully supplied, hadn't he also said this Lan Wangji had kissed him again in this body? And why did the thought bring that uncomfortable jealousy back?
