A life of cold tea and dreaming. (It’s only in your head you feel left out.)

Hey I love your Hidden Track au so much!! The characters are super well written and the pining is so amazing!! Could you please write Jiang Cheng figuring out that Wei Wuxian likes Lan Wangji and maybe talking to Lan Xichen/Jiang Yanli about it? Thank you!!
Tragically, Jiang Cheng would never talk to Lan Xichen about it in this verse, because literally no one except the Twin Jades knows how Lan Wangji feels. Which makes telling Lan Xichen seem like a pretty bad idea!
This is not actually about him talking to Jiang Yanli about it either, but, uh, points for effort?
Do not ask me when this is in the timeline, think of it as a extra rather than a part of the fic proper (since it’s not from either Lan Wangji or Wei Wuxian’s POV, which is where all the real content is). It’s just a snippet of something happening in the background at some point.
.
In Jiang Cheng’s defense, at least he times his dumbass eureka moment fairly well, even if he feels like an absolute fucking moron about it. Oh, wow, the fact that his brother acts like a lovestruck idiot every time Lan Wangji so much as glances in his direction is because his brother is actually a lovestruck idiot.
Wow. Who would’ve seen that one coming. Apparently not fucking Jiang Cheng, that’s for fucking sure.
But he comes to Jesus while they’re just sitting around Wen Ning’s hotel room and going over the bridge to a new song that Wei Wuxian thinks might be fun to test out at a couple concerts before they bother recording it (Mianmian’s going to kill them, but that’s nothing new). So it could be a lot worse. And fine, so he responds to this apparently earthshattering goddamn revelation by yelling, “What the fuck,” but Wei Wuxian just pouts—without removing his eyes from Lan Wangji’s jawline at any point, naturally, fucking fuck—and says, “Look, I know the rhythm there is a bit weird, but I figured you’d have fun with it.”
Which. What the hell. Yeah, fine, there’s a cool polyrhythm that Jiang Cheng’s actually extremely into, but that’s not the fucking point. The point is that it’s been ten fucking years, and Wei Wuxian has apparently chosen now to fall in love with the most boring person in the entire world. While they’re pretending to date.
seeing this makes it look like such an obvious thing that should be installed all over the place.
“The turbine is designed vertically with long blades. It covers less area on the ground and is easy to handle. It can easily be assembled and disassembled which makes it durable. Solar panels are fixed at the top of the turbine to generate extra electricity. The device is capable of producing approximately 1 kilowatt per hour of electricity. A single ENLIL turbine can easily provide the average daily electricity needs of two households.
Apart from that, the turbine also contains inbuilt sensors like carbon footprint sensors, to detect earthquakes and IOT platform. The safety and comfort of the city are also ensured.
The turbine can be installed in parks, near seashores, rooftops, households but the roads are the ideal locations for the device. The big vehicles like buses can provide a lot of wind energy. The speeding vehicles on the highway can provide enough wind for these turbines to work all day and night without stopping. The energy generated can be transported to places or it can be used for maintenance of roadways.“
