[ Lan Wangji had a solemn promise to himself to never lie. It was better to say nothing than to speak something that was not true. That Sizhui had been his son in spirit - that was true. But the formal recognized bond was not one that had been granted to him, and thus not one he could outwardly claim. Now, however, he had it signed, sealed, confirmed. By law and by personal acknowledgement. No longer a quiet sentiment shared only with Sizhui - this was a public, open commitment.
So there was no reason to mince words around it any longer.
He watched Jingyi with a careful eye - he understood the emotion it could cause. And he was proud for the relatively restrained way Jingyi was approaching it.
At least until the last comment.
He didn't smile. Not because he didn't find it amusing, but because he certainly did not want Jingyi to find it amusing. He'd seen the two of them together. He suspected it was something very different. But he was not about to call him on it, right now.
Instead he just nodded. ]
Your brotherhood undeniable, regardless of formal connection.
[ He knew how close the two boys were. Official brothers or not, they could rarely be separated. ]
If you do not wish such close association with Hanasaki Miu, placing Zewu-jun's name next to yours is clearest option.
