#wangxian phone sex operator au where lwj accidentally dials a phone sex hotline and was about to hang up until he hears the voice at the other end of the line (a smooth deep baritone) and stays on the line against his better judgment

idk what circumstances lwj dials the hotline maybe he was feeling a bit lonely, maybe he was a little drunk, maybe he was supposed to dial the number of a takeout place but entered the last digit wrong. up to you. the point is--lwj is not on the phone with a sex operator

"hello yiling adult services. how can this one be of service to you tonight?"

lwj freezes. this is--he's not supposed to be on this line. he should hang up. he should, right? but something compels him to stay on the line

"hello? ah shit if this is another prank call i swear--"

"this is not a prank call," lwj suddenly pipes up and oh what has he done.

"oh," the voice on the other end of the line calms again. "oh, i get it. first-time caller? yeah we get that a lot. that's normal, sweetie. no need to be embarrassed."

lwj does not know how to tell them that he's not a first-time caller so much as he is an accidental one. he's not embarrassed he's just--surprised and he really should hang up and not waste this person's time.

but the person keeps talking and lwj finds himself still on the line, listening. he...likes this person's voice.

"--and it's a normal thing you know? i'm sorry i tend to babble. i gotta stop now or else we wouldn't get anywhere. so anyway, let me take you through the process--"

when the person starts talking about payment options that's when lwj pipes up again, "i didn't mean to dial this number."

the person on the other line stops and then "oh. oh, i'm sorry! my mouth ran away from me again i didn't even ask. i just assumed and--sorry."

lwj is intrigued. he's the one who misdialed and wasted 5mins of this person's time, this person who is currently working, and yet they're the one apologizing

"it's okay. i did not regret dialing it now" and it's the truth "and i am interested to hear about the payment options."

"are you sure? you know you don't have to go through with this if you really didn't mean to. really."

lwj ponders on it for a moment and reached the conclusion that he really doesn't want to hang up.

"i didn't earlier, but now i want to."

//this is a good a time as any to say that again i have nothing coherent planned for his except these three (3) scenes i had while i was taking a shower that compelled me to write this thread

scene 1: on names

"hanguang-jun? really? like, from the xianxia novel?" codenames are not uncommon but it's the first time wwx has heard someone use such an obscure reference.

lwj shrugs as if the person on the other end can see them and then he says, "my mother is a fan."

wwx laughs and says, "oh, i'm sure she is. call me laozu then."

lwj falters. other than that he knows it's from a xianxia novel, he didn't expect this person to actually know about the characters. "you know about The Untamed?"

"what can i say? my mother is also a fan."

scene 2:

hgj does not want the sexual aspect. he just wants to talk. again, it's not uncommon but customers like this usually just want someone to vent about their day, their lives, their annoying co-worker. this is the first time a customer ever asked wwx how his day was.
