( living close to each other has its perks — wen qing visits as often as she's invited, making a habit of spending date time with jiang cheng once she's more settled in her own space. on a particular day she brings the gift of a new tea set to the yunmeng jiang brothers' household, helping herself to steep the tea, offering wei wuxian a cup if he's around. it's only been a slight change, but lately wen qing has noticed jiang cheng's attention ... elsewhere, but also not, like something sits on the tip of his tongue ready to bite, and yet he withholds himself.
wen qing's patience runs dry today, it seems. they're sitting across from each other as they drink their tea — but wen qing sets her cup down with a clack of finality, and scoots in to sit against him, gaze equal parts imploring and demanding. )
[ The sound of teacup striking table causes Jiang Cheng to jolt, to start and sit at attention, eyes wide in the way of a boy who's grown up to being savaged at the dinner table without cause or warning. Sensing displeasure in Wen Qing, his body language tenses further still, scanning her body language for signs of the source of her irritation even as he keeps his head low so as not to make any more missteps.
She's not his mother, but she means just as much to him and offering her this deference is all the love he knows. ]
I... I don't, um. ...have I appeared very bothered, Lady Wen...?
