Yanli rolled her eyes at Wuxian's threat. "We're working on communicating better, so hopefully I don't end up as such a crybaby."
"I'm judgmental because one thing my mother didn't scold you enough for was your alcohol consumption." she spanked him again.
She absolutely lost it when he mentioned a car haunted by sex toys. "I don't even want to imagine what that experience would be like."

"Well if he wasn't such a jerk to you you wouldn't be crying in the first place!" Wuxian protested.
He pouted. "Hardly. How can she scold me when I do it behind her back?" He realized after saying it it didn't help his case on the argument. He patted at his mouth as if telling it to be quiet.
His grin returned as his sister burst out laughing. "An awful experience, I'm telling you. Plus, could you imagine noticing the car has a weird noise and trying to figure out what is causing it and it turns out to be a vibrator? That'd be mortifying." He said, shaking his head. "Even worse if it's a haunted one that doesn't turn off because the batteries melted or some shit."

"I don't cry because he's a jerk. He could never be a jerk, he's too sweet for that. I'd cry because I took something he said the wrong way because we're both super vague with each other. I mean, he called Jiang Cheng hot once and I spent months thinking he was gay instead of bi," Yanli covered her own mouth as well. She really had to stop outing Zixuan.
She pointed at Wuxian, "I knew you drank more than you should," she said, bringing him back out to the table so he could resume eating.
"Yeah, it would make it difficult to figure out exactly why your car was making that noise. Is something loose in the engine or is it the haunted vibrator?" she giggled.

Wuxian followed his sister back out to the table, piling a second helping onto his plate, though it didn't end up quite as full as before. "I don't know if I'm more surprised he's bi or that he thinks Jiang Cheng is hot. He clearly has terrible taste in men." He said, shaking his head and taking a bite of food.
He pointed at himself as Yanli did, shaking his head. "I'm innocent." He argued around the mouthful of food. "And just 'cause I've snuck alcohol before doesn't mean I do it all the time. I mean, the last time I had alcohol was over two months ago." Of course once he could buy alcohol for himself that would probably change, but until he turned 21, the only time he had access to drinks was at college parties, and those were exhausting even for him, so he didn't go to them often.
He nearly choked as he laughed, shaking his head. "Exactly. That is why I'm going to bring the bag into the dorm temporarily while I figure out what to do with it. I'm not going to just leave it out in the open for anyone to come across - intentionally - so it shouldn't be a problem. Besides, it's a lot less embarrassing, and much funnier, if my roommate finds those items than a random car mechanic."

"Why is that terrible taste in men? Acheng is very handsome and he's got that broody face," Yanli tried to defend him. "I'm sorry, you're both my brothers. I can call you handsome or attractive but I just can't call either of you hot, it feels weird."
Yanli shook her head at Wuxian's last drink, "don't think for a second that I believe you won't be drinking all the time once you turn 21." She tried to think about the last time she had a drink. She didn't mind drinking, and in fact there were several bottles of wine and liquor in the kitchen, but all of it was for cooking.
"Well I hope you don't traumatize your soulmate too bad. He may be your soulmate, but that doesn't mean you should push him. Things can go wrong, even when they're meant to be..." she found herself trailing off thinking about all the things that could and had gone wrong so far for her and Zixuan. Maybe the universe was trying to send her a sign? She really needed to stop overthinking things.

Wuxian shook his head, "It's because he's my brother he's not hot. Also, Jiang Cheng would jump to conclusions even faster than you supposedly did." He protested. "They'd fight constantly. There'd be no reconciliation because Jiang Cheng doesn't let go of things."
He pouted at her, "Not all the time. There's still work, and school. I can in fact be a responsible adult when it's necessary." He argued. "And it's not like Uncle and Mrs. Jiang are giving me money outside of paying for my college. So I need to keep up the responsible adult act so I like... Have money saved for once I graduate to live."
He noticed Yanli trailing off as she spoke, which usually only happened when she was overthinking something, so he tried to reassure her. "I almost lose my appetite saying this, but would you believe me if I said you and Zixuan are probably soulmates, too?" He said. He meant it, deep down. There had to be a reason they found each other again beyond one lifetime, after all, as much as he hated to admit it. "No one gets through a relationship without work, soulmate or not. Sometimes bumps in the road happen." Or, you know, dying for 13 years... Or being killed by your in-law's fierce corpse or your adopted brother... He felt a bit choked up at the final thought, shaking his head and making a face before digging into his food again.

"Acheng would try to fight him, but Zixuan wouldn't rise to the occasion. He's not the biggest fan of confrontation, and neither am I thanks to mother." Yanli said.
She narrowed her eyes at Wuxian when he talked about saving money, "where are you planning to live when you graduate? You know I'm always here for you, so if you need a place to stay that isn't back with that devil woman I call mother, you can stay here." She didn't know what she and Zixuan would be doing in a year and a half, but whatever it was, she knew she'd make room for her brother if he needed it.
She smiled softly at Wuxian's comment, "thanks... I don't know sometimes, but this isn't about my potential soulmate, it's about yours. What are your next steps, other than traumatizing him with a bag of sex toys?"

"Why couldn't Jiang Cheng follow in your suit?" He asked, but also knew if he didn't have Jiang Cheng to bicker with he would've been quite bored.
He shrugged as she starting questioning him. "I don't know. I'll bully Huaisang into letting me stay at his house or buy a one bedroom house with ten of my coworkers so we can afford rent." He said, only half joking. "Or once I get my degree, I'll go teach in China and not have to worry about rent at all."
He coughed as she casually mentioned the sex toys again, but ended up laughing at the way she phrased it. "I don't... I don't know. I don't know how to proceed from here, honestly. Any tips for your silly little didi?"

"You wouldn't even consider moving in with me?" Yanli asked, a little hurt. She knew that he'd probably be uncomfortable here, but she still wanted to take care of him. "You know you could stay here, right?"
She tried to think of tips but wasn't confident because of her own lack of experience. "Be open and honest. Share yourself," she reached over and took his hand, "just be yourself, because you deserve all the love in the world."

Wuxian back tracked and waved his hands desperately, "I would love to stay with you! But jiejie, you're living in a one bedroom apartment... Where would I stay here?" He asked seriously. Maybe if they had a bigger home by the time he graduated, one that allowed him to avoid Zixuan to the best of his ability, he'd be more willing to try that suggestion.
"That's what I always hear. I was hoping you'd have some wise jiejie advice for me." He pouted.

"We'd figure something out. You could stay in Zixuan's room or something," Yanli said. She wasn't sure how she felt about sharing a bedroom, or a bed with Zixuan but she was much more amenable to the idea now than when they'd first moved in.
"I'm not sure what sort of advice you're looking for. What are you looking for?" she asked.

"Then where would he stay? Cause you know we would not share a room." Wuxian protested.
He looked down, playing with his food. "I don't know..." He whined. "How do you act around someone who you've essentially just met, but feel like you already know?" He asked. He was quiet for a moment before waving his hand, "Sorry, now I'm getting too introspective and rhetorical. Your advice was fine." He told her simply. "I guess I'm just kind of weird about him..."

Yanli blushed, "he'd stay with me, and you'd stay in his room."
She thought about what he said for a bit, "if you feel as though you already know him, do you need to act a certain way? Even if you feel like you know him, you need to actually get to know him. Try not to confuse your expectations and wants with reality."

"Oh..." Wuxian said, then, louder, "Oh. Oh no. Hard pass. I'd rather sleep on your living room floor, hell, kitchen floor, than to think of something like that." He said stubbornly. He knew his sister was engaged, and eventually they'd be married, and was pretty sure Mrs. Jiang would be perfectly happy if they had a child out of wedlock, but it was the last thing he wanted to think about.
He returned his attention to her as she spoke, and after contemplating her words for a moment, smiled at her. "Thank you. You're right, and I've already caught myself doing that a lot." Not that I've necessarily been wrong... He thought to himself, biting his lower lip. He waggled a finger at her, "that was the type of advice I was hoping for."

Yanli swatted at her brother, "you're a pervert. Sharing a room doesn't mean all that." She covered her face, embarrassed.
"I'm glad that was better advice. I want the best for you Axian, so try not to be your own worst enemy here."
She paused for a little bit the asked quietly, "Have you ever... you know... done things? The things in that bag didn't seem super surprising to you..."
