Summary:

jingyi: is today Be Mean To Jingyi Day or something wtf
young mistress: That's every day

Chapter 1

Notes:

and we're back! this is set ~2.5 years after the end of cmbm. i decided not to say exactly what year it is because i was starting to confuse myself :') if you haven't read cmbm, basically all you need to know is: almost everyone is famous, jingyi and a handful of the characters were in a popular drama called "the untamed," and also, jingyi has an enormous crush on a-yuan that everyone knows about.
i make some user icons myself and find others through random google searches. if i'm using one of your icons and you'd like me to remove it, please let me know!

Chapter Text

Release date set for Director Mo Xuanyu's mainstream debut

15:20, 1 Nov

Mo Xuanyu confirmed in a statement earlier today that Blue Longing, his mainstream directorial debut, will be released in theaters next May. Blue Longing follows a young musician (played by Lan Jingyi) whose career and relationships threaten to fall apart as he comes to terms with his sexuality.

Blue Longing marks a milestone for both Mo Xuanyu and Lan Jingyi. Mo is best known for being the younger half-brother of director Jin Guangyao (The Untamed) and largely remains active in the independent film scene, garnering praise from critics for films such as Painted Face and Resurrection. Blue Longing will be his first film released under his new production company "Mo Village" and his first ever mainstream film. The film is the first main feature role in twenty-year-old Lan's career.

Blue Longing also boasts an ensemble cast, featuring Mo's frequent collaborator Nie Huaisang as well as The Untamed co-stars Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, Jiang Wanyin, Wen Qionglin, and Wen Qing. Rising actor Jin Rulan, son of Carp Tower Productions executives Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli, has a supporting role.

Blue Longing will be in theaters everywhere on 1 May.

A-Jing?

You're still awake, right?

lmaooooo

It went well, thanks for asking!

You know how we're all meeting up for lunch tomorrow?

ofc!!! it's literally ur bday lunch lol i gotta be there!!!

did u think i forgot?? a-yuannn my memory isn't THAT bad

I wasn't trying to imply anything!

I was just going to ask if you want to get boba after we eat.

hell yeah ofc

i'll ask the group chat!! hey tea or yi dian dian? i know u like those the best

Ah no wait

I thought

Maybe we could go alone. I mean, together

I mean, just the two of us

???

what did u do

What?

did u finally snap and kill someone???

it's ok, i'll help u hide the body

LOL I didn't kill anyone!

yeah see that's exactly what a killer would say

it's always the quiet ones

A-Jing...

okok i'll stop

seriously tho are u ok??

I'm fine! I just thought maybe it would be nice if we got boba together.

just the two of us?????

Just the two of us

ok hold on lemme check my schedule real quick


jin ling

HEY DO U STILL NEED ME TO TAKE UR FAT DOG TO THE VET TOMORROW

Hello to you too. Jesus Christ.

And Fairy's not fat

uhhhh yeah she is which is exactly why u asked me to take her

It's not because she's fat, she's just acting weird. Really sluggish

yeah maybe it's bc u feed her like 458436x the amount ur supposed to

nvm sorry i know ur worried abt her i'll stop

ughghfdg why can't u just go on that variety show in like 2 days or something???

let's keep a-yuan's birthday sacred!!!!

Unlike you, some of us are actually trying to promote our movie

I canceled an interview to go to his birthday lunch, what more do you want from me

I thought you're free tomorrow anyway?

wellllllll yeahhhhh but a-yuan wants to get boba

Are you fucking kidding me

Is it really that important

bc it's a-yuan!!!!!

u know that he's like. special. to me or WHATEVER ok

and he was kinda weird abt asking me to go and it's just gonna be us two so i'm thinking, u know

maybe this could finally be my shot

Ok I get that you've wanted to marry him since you were in junior high but you agreed to take Fairy like forever ago

You're one of the few people she feels comfortable with and it's too late to ask someone else now

u sure?

Jingyi. I asked you as a last resort.

It's just one day. Can't you go on a date with Yuan some other time?

it's not a date! probably! idk!!!

sigh yeah ur right, i'm sorry

I'm sorry too

it's ok :') there's always next time

I mean I'm sorry for Yuan. If he really does like you back then he has bad taste

HEY I RESENT THAT

ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES

HEY

Read 10:21 PM


wen yuan

a-yuan i'm so so so so sorry abt this but could we do a raincheck on the boba???

i have to Run An Errand

Ah.

I thought you didn't have anything officially scheduled?

?? how do u know that???

I asked your dad if you were free tomorrow

o lol u could've just asked me!!

Hm.

What do you have to do?

i have to take a-ling's fat dog to the vet uggghhhh

he has to go on some show to promote blue longing and if fairy doesn't make the appointment the next one a-ling can get is in like a month

Ah, I see.

What's wrong with Fairy?

idk she's sluggish?? probably bc the young mistress feeds her like a MILLION KILOS OF FOOD A DAY but he's worried so i gotta go

apparently i'm like the only other person besides cheng-ge and a-ling who can get her into her carrier lol

Fairy trusts you that much? I thought A-Ling said she doesn't like people.

i was over at a-ling's apartment a lot when we were shooting lol i basically lived there

and i still come over a lot so fairy's pretty used to me

she even eats treats out of my hand now!!! a-ling was so excited lol it was cute

Ah.

So you and A-Ling are pretty close now too.

well yeah w the movie and everything it's kinda inevitable

and his apartment is sooo nice

baba said i'm not allowed to move out until after i graduate ://

i'll just camp out at a-ling's until then i guess

Hm.

again i'm really really sorry abt tomorrow

we're gonna start doing more promotions soon but i'm def free next weekend so we can get boba then??

or maybe dinner?

Classes will start picking up so I'm not sure when I'll be free.

oh. ok yeah for sure

I'll let you know.

See you tomorrow.

ok

gn

Night, A-Jing.


CALL CONNECTING...

WEN QING: Hello? A-Yuan? It's almost eleven, what—
WEN YUAN: When can I move out?
WEN QING: ...Did something happen with Ning-gege? Or are you just that eager to get rid of him.
WEN YUAN: Nothing happened! I just— He's been with Wanyin-shushu a while now, so what if they want to move in together? Maybe I should get my own apartment.
WEN QING: Did Ning-gege tell you that they're planning on marrying soon?
WEN YUAN: Well, no...
WEN QING: Then I don't see what the big rush is. A-Yuan, you still have three years of school left, and then your licensing exam. It's best if you don't have to worry about finding a part-time job and paying rent on top of clinicals next year.
WEN QING: You know Qingyang-jiejie and I are always happy to have you at our place if you're really worried about bothering Ning-gege. But I don't think you could ever bother him.
WEN YUAN: I know...
WEN YUAN: Um. What if I got roommates? Or, um, a roommate? Wouldn't that lower the rent by a lot?
WEN QING: Yeah, but living with other people is a big commitment, even if they're friends. Did any of your friends say they're looking for apartments? Is that what brought this on?
WEN YUAN: Kind of?
WEN QING: Hm, well, if you're serious about wanting to move out, I think you should wait until at least after you get hired. That way, you can find an apartment that's close to your workplace.
WEN YUAN: Yeah...
WEN QING: Let's talk more about this with Ning-gege some other time, alright?
WEN YUAN: Okay. Good night, Qing-jiejie.
WEN QING: Night, kiddo. See you tomorrow at dinner. I love you.
WEN YUAN: I love you too.

He's halfway through one of the top med programs in China

I think he has more important things to do

No offense

uggghhfgsdfs i'm so jealous of fudan students

Maybe if you study hard enough in your next life you'll get in

shut up

THAT'S why i'm jealous

And also congratulations I think??

Oh boy

Okay well whatever you do, don't check Twitter


jin ling

HEY WHY DOES TWITTER AND EVERYONE IN OUR LIVES THINK WE'RE TOGETHER

This is your fault

HOW IS THIS MY FAULT

You were the one who said we should get my dad a ring

ok but like i didn't know everyone was stupid???

did ur dad like the ring at least??

Yeah he and Ma couldn't stop saying how thoughtful I am and how nice it looks

aww yay that's good

lol did u tell them i was the one who picked it out

Ma already knew

When I asked her she said to wait until Ba leaves the room

After he went upstairs she told me that Jins are incapable of giving nice gifts

wen yuan

Is there really nothing going on between you and A-Ling?

omg a-yuan not u too

don't u know that lans only love once???

i'm not wasting my +4 card on jin rulan, just saying

lmaoo can u imagine me and a-ling together?

I'd rather not.

yeah bc it would be TERRIBLE

we wouldn't even last 2 hours

Mm.

I have some free time this weekend if you want to get boba?

YES PLEASE

i want to fall into the sweet, sweet arms of roasted oolong milk tea, my rightful reward for existing in the same universe as jin rulan

Hey Tea on Saturday? We can get lunch together too.

oh ABSOLUTELY


ouyang zizhen

u have to help me pick out an outfit on saturday

Outfit for what?

preferably an outfit that will make a-yuan fall in love w me but just a cute one is fine too

What about a carrot suit? Two in one!

As soon as he sees you he'll want to, you know, eat you

EWWWW A-ZHEN WTF




Notes:

a-yuan canonically loves carrots!
"a-yi" sounds a lot like what you would call an auntie/older woman, and after jingyi joked that he felt weird about being called auntie, a-yuan took him seriously and started saying "a-jing" instead. he's the only one who calls jingyi that
a-yuan, oyzz, and a-qing are 21; jingyi and jin ling are 20. a-qing is an idol, a-yuan and oyzz are third-years at fudan university, jingyi and jin ling are actors and taking online classes as second-years
in china, secondary school grads (provided their grades are good enough) go straight into a uni med program and graduate with a bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery. a-yuan is in the 6-year MBBS program at fudan. fudan is one of the most prestigious unis in china!
conclusion: fairy just needed to go on a diet. jin ling was devastated; jingyi was smug

i'm mobeu on tumblr! i'm more active there so if you wanna chat or ask any questions feel free to hmu!
