SangCheng Week

Day 7 - Secrets/fake dating

This is for the same AU as day 4, where Nie Huaisang saves Jin Rusong from being killed and allies with Jiang Cheng to bring Jin Guanyao down.  

Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang take advantage of the busy atmosphere at the cultivation conference in Koi Tower to sneak around and go into the Jin’s private  area to look for incriminating evidence on JGY. Unfortunately, JGY comes back way earlier than they had expected so they are forced to improvise.

NHS: what? we? looking for proof of your numerous crimes? NOOOOooo. We were just here because it’s a secluded place and we wanted to kiss. We were kissing. Because we are in a secret romantic relationship San-ge. Obviously.

Its amazing but it does work. Jiang Cheng is blushing ultra hard and not saying anything so he does look genuinely ashamed of having been caught, and Huaisang was kissing him quite ardently so even though the idea of them surprises JGY he believes it. NHS tells JC to go back to the guests quarters cause he is going to have a convo with JGY. 

Our Jin Guangyao is a bit skeptic about this relationship being good for Huaisang. After all Jiang Zongzhu is famous for his anger outbursts and his severity. Huaisang answers doing what he does best: mixes some truths with lies so it is all believable.  He tells Jin Guangyao that he’s been in love with Jiang Cheng since they met at Cloud Recesses. He is the only friend he has left from that generation with wwx and jzx being dead and wangji being in seclusion. He also tells him that Jiang Cheng understands grief, and remembering loved ones, and even though they are very different they complement each other. He even tells him that Jiang Cheng can be very sweet when no one is around looking. So he obviously asks JGY to please keep the relationship a secret.

JGY accepts.

Jiang Cheng is waiting for NHS to show up back in his quarters. When he does he has a meltdown because JGY now has something he can use as leverage against him. Blackmail him to get more time with Jin Ling than him. They have a bit of a fight because Jiang Cheng shouts “I’m not a cutsleeve!” and nhs shouts back at him “Well, I AM”. That surprises and shuts JC up.
After the shouting match they kinda calm down and JC admits that it was very clever move on Huaisang’s part, and that if they are “secretly dating” even if JGY spies on them he will only know that they are visiting each other and travelling together to random places. Everything they do now has that façade 

When all the tension is out Huaisang jokes

“You know, you could at least have kissed back JC, you are a shit lover”

JC blushes hard again and snarls “YOU GAVE ME NO WARNING WHATSOEVER”
Nhs probably riles him up a bit more until he dares to prove to him that he knows how to give a goddamn kiss. You know JC’s competitive ass. 

They kiss now properly and when they part JC doesn’t want to admit it but he kinda has butterflies in his stomach. He says nothing, obviously, but nhs stares at him kind of star struck. 

Nothing else happens that day but something has changed between them and then things will end up evolving.

I love this AU so much I will probably end up writing a fic in the future. I just need to finish the two that I’ve started publishing first and all the wips in my google drive
