#sangchengyao bittersweet birthday fluff.
Jin Zixuan realizing (possibly with his wife's help) that if he doesn't intervene, his brother will be stuck planning *his* lavish birthday party and getting nothing for it, so he enlists Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang to kidnap A-Yao for
a week so his mother and father can't dump the party planning on him.
Nie Huaisang comes up with a surprisingly plausible (complete bullshit) story about investigating a Wen artifact that's been dug up because the possibility of power is the only thing that would get
Jin Guangyao out of Koi Tower without Jin Guangshan accusing him of neglecting his filial duties.
So Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang drag him off to Lotus Pier for a few days of relaxation and spoiling.
They have to go back to Koi Tower for the official party because Politeness
Obligations-
-(According to Jiang Cheng's specifications, Huaisang even made a mockup of a busted artifact that looks authentic, to make their apologies that the experiments were a failure ring true. Jin Guangyao can't help but be impressed.)-
-but after the annoyingly stuffy
banquet is over, they join his brother and sister-in-law, baby nephew, and even both of his sworn brothers for a much quieter and more comfortable nightcap.
He winds up dozing off snuggled between his partners, content with his birthday for the first time in years.
(I know I'm posting this early according to US time, but I wanted to get it typed while I was having a good brain day.)
