MDZS Chat Fic

Summary:

Lan Xichen: Welcome everyone! I would like to congratulate you all on graduating from GusuLan Institute! I know that you will now all go back home, and I thought you would like to keep in contact.
Lan Xichen: So here is a group chat for you, so you can maintain your friendships despite the growing distance <3

ft. lots of matchmaking attempts, too many secrets, very bad flirting, lots of obliviousness and dna tests

Chapter 1: In which plans are made. And mistakes, too

Notes:

Lightly beta-ed by my gf (thank you!)

Geography notes:
Qinghe and Lanling are two neighbourhoods of the same city (this city has too city centers oupsie); Gusu is on the extremities of the city; Yiling is another city; Yunmeng is another city, but far

Also the Gusu Lan Institute is more of a summer school for kids of rich families?? None of it makes a lot of sense (plot what plot) but know that it is the end of summer and most of them are now starting uni. (Wen Qing is older than them but delayed her studies at the GLI to be there at the same time as Wen Ning.)

Also, the story spreads over a year or so, so the conversations that take place don't necessarily happen back to back.

I don't usually like chat fics because too many conversations happen that shouldn't be held by chat. As such, not every conversation/event will be written, and there will be references to conversations that happened either in person or over the phone.

Also, this is a chat fic, so please bear in mind that not everyone can write (*looks at nhs and mianmian*)

Wangxian

Lan Xichen created a group.
Lan Xichen added Nie Huaisang and Meng Yao.
Lan Xichen named the group Wangxian

Lan Xichen: You all know what this group is about.
Lan Xichen: My brother and Wei Wuxian have reached new heights of oblivious.
Lan Xichen: I do not know how long I will last, surrounded by Wangji’s constant state of obliviousness.

Nie Huaisang: wow, er-ge, drama queen much?
Nie Huaisang: but yeah, I wasn’t expecting them to flirt even in a group chat
Nie Huaisang: wait no, actually, it isn’t even surprising

Meng Yao: what do you want us to do, er-ge?

Lan Xichen: We have to help them.

Meng Yao: We’ll need more operatives.
Meng Yao: Er-ge, you are close to Wangji, you can work on him.
Meng Yao: But we will need someone else, to help with Wei Wuxian.

Nie Huaisang added Jiang Yanli to the group.

Jiang Yanli: Oh hello everyone! What is this?

Lan Xichen: Yanli, you should read the previous messages.
Lan Xichen: We are burdened with an important mission.

Jiang Yanli: Oh, this is so exciting!
Jiang Yanli: Meng Yao is right, Xichen is the best spy on the Wangji front.
Jiang Yanli: However, I won’t be able to help you much.
Jiang Yanli: A-Xian pretends to be three years old when he speaks to me.
Jiang Yanli: And I am soon moving to Qinghe, so I will be far from him.

Nie Huaisang: oh, right, I forgot. You’re taking an apartment with Dage, right?

Lan Xichen: Ah, yes, I remember, Mingjue mentioned it to me.
Lan Xichen: It is because your parents don’t want you to live alone, is it not?

Jiang Yanli: Yes?
Jiang Yanli: I am moving to Qinghe to work
Jiang Yanli: I finally convinced my father to let me move out
Jiang Yanli: Qinghe is the best place to study/learn cuisine, after all
Jiang Yanli: But my father thinks I shouldn’t live alone
Jiang Yanli: With Mingjue, I will be the safest <3

Nie Huaisang: well, he is the ceo of the biggest security firm

Meng Yao: and he looks terrifying

Nie Huaisang: yes, but like terrifyingly hot

Meng Yao: …

Lan Xichen: ...

Jiang Yanli: if you say so
Jiang Yanli: I am mostly excited to go live with such a good friend!
Jiang Yanli: Xichen, you should move in with us!
Jiang Yanli: we could be the entire squad, as we were at the Institute <3

Lan Xichen: Sadly my work keeps me in Gusu
Lan Xichen: But I will try to visit as often as possible!

Jiang Yanli: great!
Jiang Yanli: but to go back to the wangxian matter
Jiang Yanli: (which is a really cute name by the way, thank you Xichen)
Jiang Yanli: Wei Wuxian will be moving to Yiling for his studies
Jiang Yanli: the Wen siblings and he will all be studying medicine
Jiang Yanli: not the same kind of medicine, but it’s all the same faculty
Jiang Yanli: so they are taking an apartment together

Nie Huaisang: I forgot about that, too
Nie Huaisang: I only remembered what Jiang Cheng will be doing

Meng Yao: aren’t you two moving in together?

Nie Huaisang: wow you make it sound like we’re a couple
Nie Huaisang: we’re not
Nie Huaisang: just because we’re both gay doesn’t mean we’re dating
Nie Huaisang: he’s rude but he’s my bff
Nie Huaisang: he tries to be scary but I’ve lived with Dage my whole life so…

Jiang Yanli: wait
Jiang Yanli: A-Cheng is gay?

Nie Huaisang: ….
Nie Huaisang: would you believe me if I said that we are both gay as in happy
Nie Huaisang: happy to be moving in together
Nie Huaisang: as two very heterosexual friends
Nie Huaisang: str8 bros
Nie Huaisang: 8ft apart because we’re not gay

Meng Yao: real subtle

Lan Xichen: Next time, just say it was the autocorrect.

Meng Yao: it’s not really better, er-ge

Jiang Yanli: I’m not angry
Jiang Yanli: As long as A-Cheng is happy, so am I <3
Jiang Yanli: As long as he is gay hihihi
Jiang Yanli: whether it is gay gay or ‘str8’ gay hihihi

Nie Huaisang: asdfbhjklpgfd

Jiang Yanli: at least we will all be close, despite not being in the same neighborhoods <3
Jiang Yanli: @Nie Huaisang, isn’t your apartment like half an hour away from Mingjue and I’s?

Nie Huaisang: more like 40min? with the subway?

Lan Xichen: If you are moving so close to each other, why didn’t you all take an apartment together?

Jiang Yanli: because our didis are sick of us :(
Jiang Yanli: also their apartment is close to the campus
Jiang Yanli: and ours is close to Nie Corp and my workplace :)
Jiang Yanli: also Mingjue is glad that Huaisang won't be too far from him for his first experience living alone <3
Jiang Yanli: I am also happy, for the same reason. my little A-Cheng won't be too far from me
Jiang Yanli: and I can count on Wen Qing to take care of little A-Xian

Nie Huaisang: "little A-Cheng" "little A-Xian"
Nie Huaisang: what about us
Nie Huaisang: the ones who really are small
Nie Huaisang: like @Meng Yao

Meng Yao: hey you >:(

Jiang Yanli: children, don't fight!
Jiang Yanli: I have to go now
Jiang Yanli: I will practice my surprised face, for when A-Cheng decides to come out :)

Nie Huaisang: asdfgjklp

Jiang Yanli: wait, before I forget!

Jiang Yanli added Wen Ning to the group

Wen Ning: hello?

Meng Yao: read up

Wen Ning: oh no
Wen Ning: you want me to be your operative?
Wen Ning: I'm not a good spy
Wen Ning: I can't lie

Nie Huaisang: we know
Nie Huaisang: do you think your sister would help us?

Wen Ning: let me ask her

[...]

Wen Ning: she said no :/
Wen Ning: she also said that I should not do anything related to politics or espionage

Lan Xichen: This is a matter of love, not of politics.
Lan Xichen: The espionage is only to help your good friend be happier <3

Wen Ning: true
Wen Ning: let me ask her

[...]

Wen Ning: she said no :/
Wen Ning: she said that I am too young to know about such matters
Wen Ning: she also said that Wei Wuxian can make himself happy
Wen Ning: or that he can stop being a dumbass and charm Wangji himself

Nie Huaisang: i'm gonna do my mianmian but
Nie Huaisang: lol

Nie Huaisang set the nickname for Wen Ning to

my sister said: Huaisang you don't have a sister ??

my friends said: is your mother the Violet Spider??

mama said: yes! <3

my friends said: wow
my friends said: I am a huge fan
my friends said: maybe not a *fan*
my friends said: what she did with Yao Technologies was amazing
my friends said: she is honestly a brilliant businesswoman

mama said: I will tell her that
mama said: if you are ever looking for an internship or something I can give a good word for you <3

dage said: hey he is already promised to dage

mama said: !!!!?????!!!!!!!!

mama said: they're just a bit slow
mama said: and love is never dumb <3

my uncle said: Says the one who had a crush on a dumb kid since forever.
my uncle said: *pretentious, I would never say that someone is dumb.
my uncle said: Even though the word fits.

dage said: and here's the tea

my friends said: er-ge can be so rude <3

my uncle said: I am never rude. I am only polite and truthful.

dage said: whatever makes you sleep at night
dage said: now, Xichen-ge, you should start encouraging Lan Wangji to be more self-aware
dage said: when he realizes that it is okay if he has feelings, half our job will be done

my friends said: that is a big half, though
my friends said: Er-ge, find yourself a lover
my friends said: Wangji will be less stressed when he sees how happy you are
my friends said: and he will be jealous. he'll want that with Wei Wuxian

dage said: a-yao you are so intelligent
dage said: i love u
dage said: this is brilliant

my uncle said: I will try my best :3

mama said: yess!!!! <3

my sister said: I'm not sure I understand
my sister said: our matchmaking technique
my sister said: is to find Xichen-ge a partner??
my sister said: to make Lan Wangji jealous??

dage said: I see your point

my friends said: the goal is to make Wangji want a relationship
my friends said: he has to be jealous of the intimacy, of the domesticity of it

dage said: or he has to be super horny
dage said: either works

mama said: it's my didi! :((((

my uncle said: ^

mama said: also A-Cheng and A-Xian are arriving!! <3
mama said: ttyl <3 <3 <3

Just bros being bros

Xichen: So you told Huaisang to date me?

Mingjue: sorry
Mingjue: he misinterpreted my message

Xichen: huh-huh

Mingjue: do not huh-huh me
Mingjue: I simply…
Mingjue: I guess I panicked
Mingjue: He has been strangely insisting today

Xichen: It might be my fault.
Xichen: Su She was being weird in the class group chat that I've made, and I ended up admitting that you are more than just a best friend.
Xichen: I told them that you are my best best friend <3

Mingjue: A-Huan
Mingjue: What are we, 12?

Xichen: Well, no one questioned it. Therefore, it was a success.

Mingjue: Huaisang questioned me
Mingjue: So it wasn't that much of a success

Xichen: Well, seeing as you told him to date me, I can safely assume my success was much better than your humiliating failure.

Mingjue: You know I have a hard time saying no to Huaisang :(((

Xichen: You know he won't break if you refuse him something, right?

Mingjue: Yes, but he might cry

Xichen: He will pretend to cry because he knows he has you wrapped around his finger.
Xichen: You are soft, A-Jue.

Mingjue: It is normal
Mingjue: He is my baby brother

Xichen: I never said that was a bad thing.
Xichen: You are an amazing brother to Huaisang.
Xichen: I like it. It's a good look on you.

Mingjue: Gods
Mingjue: A-Huan
Mingjue: Can I call you? I want to hear your voice

Yaoi: dage really told you to date erge?

Hoesang: why wouldn't he?

Yaoi: idk
Yaoi: it's just
Yaoi: I really thought something was happening between them
Yaoi: so I'm just surprised, I guess
Yaoi: especially because it isn't like dage to encourage you to date

Hoesang: ok. I think Dage was mostly joking when he told me to date Xichen-ge
Hoesang: but I do what I want, so
Hoesang: I don't actually want to date erge
Hoesang: at least, I don't think so
Hoesang: he's too much like an older brother to me
Hoesang: but if this is what it takes for dage to realize that I am old enough to date (and to be sexually active)
Hoesang: then I'll go for it

Yaoi: uh
Yaoi: ok
Yaoi: so you don't think there is something going on between them, then?

Hoesang: well, dage vehemently opposed the idea
Hoesang: so I guess it's safe to say that they are really just best friends

Yaoi: oh oki then
Yaoi: then maybe we could matchmake them
Yaoi: maybe not together
Yaoi: but you know
Yaoi: matchmaking is nice

Hoesang: *scheming is nice
Hoesang: but yass!
Hoesang: count me in
Hoesang: who did you have in mind?

Yaoi: not su she

Hoesang: hahaha we'll keep him in mind in case we are angry with erge
Hoesang: but su she's crush is mostly on wangji, anyway

Yaoi: mostly on wangji, but I think he'd accept anyone with the lan surname

Hoesang: next step: su she + lan qiren

Yaoi: I hate u
Yaoi: this is gross
Yaoi: why would you do this to me??
Yaoi: but honestly, I was thinking maybe jiang cheng and erge

Hoesang: umm really??

Yaoi: yeah, they really got along well during our classes at gusu

Hoesang: they didn't interact much

Yaoi: not when the whole group was around
Yaoi: but you know how jiang cheng gets in group settings
Yaoi: but I saw them talk, once, when it was just the two of them, and I think there is potential

Hoesang: I see your point
Hoesang: ok, let's do this

your wei ying: still a but of a ride :(((
your wei ying: but we'll make do

BFFs forever and ever

nhs: so

jc: what do you want
jc: also change that chat name
jc: it’s stupid
jc: the forever is already in bff
jc: not that we’re bffs or anything

nhs: ah, my cute tsundere

jc: stfu before i block you

nhs: wait
nhs: I come with very important business

jc: ?

nhs: on a scale of 1 to 10
nhs: how good do you think xichen would look on his knees?

jc: wtf
jc: huaisang
jc: wtf
jc: wtf
jc: why would you ask that?
jc: isn’t he dating your brother?

nhs: dage said that they aren’t dating
nhs: and told me to date him myself
nhs: but I don’t really want to date him
nhs: you know my tastes
nhs: xichen is handsome and perfect and everything, but he isn’t it for me
nhs: also i’m not one for relationships
nhs: but you are one for relationships
nhs: and xichen is your type

jc: i don’t have a type
jc: also xichen isn’t an object, stop trading him around

nhs: you HAVE a type
nhs: ok no
nhs: you have a praise kink
nhs: it’s not a type
nhs: but xichen gives the best praise
nhs: he has a good voice for praise, too

jc: stfu
jc: i’ll block you
jc: why would you even propose something like this
jc: wtf

nhs: but like
nhs: if I were to organize you two a date
nhs: would you go?

jc: no
jc: I don’t date

nhs: that is a sad way to live, my bff forever and ever

jc: urgh

nhs: also i think you are his type
nhs: he likes being the bigger person

jc: bold of you to tease my about my height
jc: you midget

nhs: die
nhs: i say that very respectfully and with all my affection, of course <3
nhs: but die
nhs: what I meant is
nhs: xichen likes taking care of people, being the most mature, blah blah blah
nhs: and you
nhs: deserve to be taken care of

jc: I’m not a child

nhs: asdfghjkl stop willfully misunderstanding me!
nhs: what i mean is
nhs: you are a tsundere
nhs: acting all rough and harsh
nhs: but you like it when people take care of you
nhs: you get all soft

jc: yeah, isn’t being soft a bad thing, tho?

nhs: asdfghjkl i love you
nhs: in romance, soft = good
nhs: but if we’re talking about sex… ;))))
nhs: but also we already established that you have a praise kink, so if I were you I wouldn’t worry about that

jc: omfg
jc: leave me alone
jc: I do not have a praise kink

nhs: mmmm
nhs: from what I have witnessed

jc: it was once!

nhs: if you say so ;))

jc: why would you want me to date xichen, anyway?
jc: we just left gusu
jc: yunmeng and gusu are so far

nhs: yes but soon we will be in lanling :))))
nhs: (living together, yay!!!!)
nhs: and lanling and gusu are just different neighborhoods of the same city

jc: different neighborhoods?
jc: lanling is almost the center of the city
jc: and gusu is completely lost in the woods

nhs: it’s still officially part of the city
nhs: despite being a very remote location
nhs: but xichen has a car
nhs: he could visit you often
nhs: it wouldn’t take too much time for him to cross the city
nhs: he wouldn’t mind driving
nhs: not for that sweet ass of yours

jc: stfu
jc: never say that again
jc: I feel dirty
jc: also isn’t xichen a very bad driver??

nhs: ;))))))
nhs: but yes, dage is always complaining about how bad of a driver he is
nhs: but...
nhs: xichen is also filthy rich
nhs: and the lans have private drivers
nhs: so he could visit you in complete safety

jc: you say “filthy rich” like you aren’t too

nhs: you are, too
nhs: and okay, we all come from prominent families
nhs: which is why we attended the gl institute
nhs: but that’s also a reason why you should date him
nhs: he is a lan
nhs: old family, old money
nhs: well established, good reputation
nhs: your parents will love him

jc: i don’t want to date someone just because my parents will like him
jc: they already think I’m a total failure
jc: even if i were to marry the perfect man they would be disappointed

nhs: i hate your parents so much
nhs: how have they been since your return?

jc: i can’t wait to leave
jc: I love my parents, I really do
jc: but I like them when they’re not in the same room
jc: and when i’m not in the same room as wei ying

nhs: sounds unhealthy but ok

jc: yeah but
jc: they make it really hard for us
jc: mom is mad that wei ying had better grades at the lan school
jc: dad is mad at me for, idk, coming back alive or something

nhs: harsh

jc: they’re just angry that we’re all leaving the house at the same time
jc: jiejie is finally escaping the house to study what she wants
jc: qinghe’s culinary school is renowned and so much better than the cooking academy we have here in yunmeng

nhs: are they still angry about your choice of studies?

jc: yeah
jc: it’s been thrown in my face all day
jc: “why can’t you do med school like wei ying?” or real career this, real career that
jc: I’m so tired
jc: haven’t been home for 24h and I already can’t wait to leave

nhs: soon, freedom!
nhs: and i don’t get why they are so angry. you’re still taking business as a minor, right?

jc: yup. but it’s not enough.
jc: not when I have to compete with wei ying

nhs: is it still okay between the two of you? i know things are always tense when you’re home

jc: we’re doing alright
jc: i know it’s not his fault
jc: he’s brilliant, and he shouldn’t have to stop from doing what he wants to do just because of my parents
jc: I’d die if i had to do biology and med school like he wants to do
jc: and you’ve seen the way he’d dress without me to buy him clothes
jc: studying fashion would bring him no joy
jc: i just hate that my parents are always setting us up against each other

nhs: ugh

jc: at least wei ying stopped doing his little “it’s all my fault if your family is shitty” thing
jc: my parents were ready for divorce before even getting married
jc: he’s just the reason they found to get in an all out war

nhs: do you think the rumors are true?
nhs: that he’s your half-brother

jc: i have no idea, to be honest
jc: it is a possibility
jc: but he doesn’t look any of us
jc: physically I mean
jc: then again, jiejie and I don’t look that much like each other

nhs: you’re a male copy of your mom
nhs: I guess Yanli is more of a mix of them?
nhs: or she got her genes from a grandparent or something
nhs: aren’t there genes that, like, skip a generation?
nhs: like witchcraft lol

jc: oh the evil witch genes? my mom has them all
jc: thankfully they skipped jiejie

nhs: lol

jc: ttyl, wei ying is calling me

nhs: hey you didn't answer for xichen-ge

mianmian: you're from Lanling, too, right?
mianmian: you should have come with @peaCOCK and I
mianmian: the more the merrier
mianmian: when it comes to roadtrips at least

peaCOCK: it's not a long enough ride to qualify as a road trip
peaCOCK: also there are certain matters in which more is not merrier

suck up: sex

souldidi: wrong example

souldidi: orgies or gangbangs?

suck up: Lan-er-ge would never participate in such a lowly activity.
suck up: stop this diffamation

Lan Savage: This conversation is otherwise proof.

New conversation between Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan

Jin Zixuan: I am sorry to disturb you, Miss Yanli
Jin Zixuan: but I thought you would like to see this

[Jin Zixuan sent an attachment : screenshot of the Gusu Lan Institute Summer 2020 Graduates]

Jiang Yanli: oh
Jiang Yanli: oh
Jiang Yanli: oooh

Jin Zixuan: Are you ok?

Jiang Yanli: not really
Jiang Yanli: thanks for asking
Jiang Yanli: I'm just a bit shook

Jin Zixuan: Understandable
Jin Zixuan: I'm sorry if it was a brusque way to tell you
Jin Zixuan: but I thought it would be cleaner to just show you

Jiang Yanli: yes, it is better this way
Jiang Yanli: I'll have to talk it out with the boys, see if it is real or a prank
Jiang Yanli: is it weird that my first thought is to finally get that dna test?
Jiang Yanli: the rumours and doubts have been there for years already

Jin Zixuan: it’s okay
Jin Zixuan: I mean, it’s not too weird
Jin Zixuan: you’re just looking out for your brothers
Jin Zixuan: or *brother and brother-in-law, I guess, now

Jiang Yanli: haha you’re right
Jiang Yanli: a-xian is family either way
Jiang Yanli: and if he is our blood brother, we’ll deal with that bridge when we come to it

Jin Zixuan: how do you think your parents will react?
Jin Zixuan: from what I’ve heard, your mother doesn’t really appreciate Wei Wuxian

Jiang Yanli: oh, right, our mothers are friend
Jiang Yanli: I don’t know how I always forget that
Jiang Yanli: as for the reactions, idk
Jiang Yanli: I think my father will be glad either way. He adores a-xian, so he’ll be happy whether a-xian is his own son or his son’s boyfriend
Jiang Yanli: My mother, on the other hand, will be angry either way

Jin Zixuan: it will be harsh either way
Jin Zixuan: but you all love each other, you’ll pull through

Jiang Yanli: thank you for your kind words

Jin Zixuan: I know I haven’t always been nice
Jin Zixuan: as a general rule
Jin Zixuan: but I’ve also been especially mean to you
Jin Zixuan: and I’m very sorry about the way I acted
Jin Zixuan: you never deserved my anger

Jiang Yanli: it’s okay
Jiang Yanli: the situation was hard on all of us
Jiang Yanli: our mothers were trying to do good
Jiang Yanli: but obviously no child wants to grow up only to be told
Jiang Yanli: “hey this is the only partner you’re allowed to have in your entire life”

Jin Zixuan: still, I shouldn’t have behaved that way

Jiang Yanli: don’t worry
Jiang Yanli: my brothers haven’t made it easy on you either
Jiang Yanli: *brother and brother-in-law, I guess, now :P

Jin Zixuan: ouch, isn’t it too early still for those jokes?
Jin Zixuan: also, I’m sorry, but I am very aware of the distaste your brothers hold for me
Jin Zixuan: and don’t worry, it is returned
Jin Zixuan: tenfold

Jiang Yanli: I don’t know what you mean
Jiang Yanli: my brothers are angels

Jin Zixuan: you misspelled *demons
Jin Zixuan: they call me peaCOCK in every group chat we are in

Jiang Yanli: interesting name
Jiang Yanli: is the joke about the bird or about the size of your genitalia?
Jiang Yanli: or both
Jiang Yanli: asking for a friend

Jin Zixuan: they probably meant it as both
Jin Zixuan: but I’m not worried about my size ;))

Jiang Yanli: asdfghkljgh
Jiang Yanli: I was NOT expecting that answer
Jiang Yanli: I choked
Jiang Yanli: I’m dying

Jin Zixuan: oh shit

Jin Zixuan: Yanli?

Jin Zixuan: Miss Yanli?

Jin Zixuan: oh shit

New conversation between Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixuan

Jin Zixuan: you might want to check on Yanli
Jin Zixuan: I think she choked on something

Wei Wuxian: what have you done to my jiejie
Wei Wuxian: you peacock

Wei Wuxian set the nickname for Jin Zixuan to
peaCOCK

peaCOCK: just go check on your sister, asshole

Wangxian

kombat: ok, so i think we should reconsider our view of wangxian
kombat: also, someone should tell @mama said of what happened
kombat: not @me, because im dying
kombat: i wasn’t expecting this
kombat: im shook

fave baby: ^

twink: I feel like we just stepped into an alternative reality

older man: ^

mama said: no need to tell me
mama said: I’ve just learned of the situation

twink: how?

mama said: I have other spies in your gc mwahaha
mama said: also I can’t talk much right now
mama said: a-cheng is still sleeping, but I’m explaining the basics of safe sex to a-xian

kombat: they’ve had the sex talk before, right?
kombat: right????
kombat: if not, I’ve explained half of it to them
kombat: but like, the kinky half only

twink: unsurprisingly

older man: How is it unsurprising? I am shaken to the core.
older man: Both about the announcement and the sex talk.
older man: @kombat I agree with a-jue, you are too young for this.
older man: The most kinky you should be doing is handholding.

twink: good luck enforcing that

kombat: too late enforcing that

mama said: fuck it, I'm waking up a-cheng
mama said: I'll get the whole family to do a dna test
mama said: a-xian seems to think the sex talk is funny ???
mama said: okay, the situation could be funny
mama said: but doesn't he realize that he might be our brother???
mama said: he's aware of the rumours
mama said: I know there's no possibility of incestuous reproduction, but even he should be able to understand why it is morally reprehensible

older man: Are you alright, a-li?
older man: Is there anything I can do to help?

mama said: no, but thank you
mama said: i'm just freaking out
mama said: a-xian doesn't seem to realize how serious this is

[...]

mama said: I woke up a-cheng
mama said: the three of us and our parents are en route for a clinic that does dna testing
mama said: i might have come on too strong
mama said: no one is talking
mama said: our parents don't know yet, but I guess it's better to wait for the results before telling them anything

older man: How long will it take to get the results?

mama said: idk
mama said: i'll ask at the clinic
mama said: i hope it won't be too long
mama said: but i expect it will take a few weeks

kombat: i hope it'll be fast
kombat: good luck
