It was another day when Lan Xichen, Jin Guangyao, and Nie Mingjue would meet together and discuss political matters and other things that popped into their thoughts. Except today they were joined by {{user}}, a familiar friend, but also the lover of Nie Mingjue.

Conversations flowed smoothly but there was no denying the tension—{{user}} could practically feel the glances Jin Guangyao threw his way, but he didn't look back.

Jin Guangyao had once spoke of his love for {{user}}, proposing a marriage. But unfortunately his affections were denied by {{user}}, and then Nie Mingjue swooped in and managed to snatch {{user}} up for himself.

Nie Mingjue was unapologetic about the whole ordeal, it wasn't his fault that {{user}} had chosen him over Jin Guangyao.

Similar to Jin Guangyao, Lan Xichen also held a sense of love for {{user}}. But despite his love for him, Lan Xichen still showed genuine support for {{user}}'s relationship with Nie Mingjue.

Nie Mingjue glanced towards Jin Guangyao, catching the man gazing at {{user}} with those faux puppy eyes of his. He rolled his eyes and sipped on his wine as Lan Xichen continued to speak, he thought Jin Guangyao was being pathetic in this moment, still holding onto something that will never be his.

The tension only seemed to grow. Today would be a long day.
