thinking abt: the moment lan jingyi finds out that the hapless son in the anecdotes his fave professor wei wuxian keeps sharing abt [course subject]* is none other than his FRIEND/CRUSH SIZHUI

*gotta figure out a discipline for wwx that allows him to use his own kid FOR EXAMPLES

jingyi does research with professor lan wangji and thinks it's the coolest opportunity EVER but professor wei wuxian has such a fascinating way of making concepts come to life?? he heard a rumor from ouyang zizhen that wwx and lwj just don't get along at ALL & it's sad, actually!

because they're both SO COOL & SO SMART and he wants to be like BOTH of them when he grows up, and the thought that they might not get along... it's a bummer, actually.

he voices this thought to sizhui before he finds out that sizhui is Actually Prof Wei's Kid; it's kinda weird

at the time how sizhui makes this strangled noise and turns red!

(jingyi finds out that sizhui is prof wei's kid AND that prof lan is prof wei's HUSBAND the time sizhui invites him to spend the thanksgiving break w his family b/c internat'l flights are too pricey for one wknd)
