"How do I look in this outfit, be honest with me." Wei Wuxian turns around to show his brother and friend.

"You want me to be honest?" Jiang Cheng yawns lazily. "Wear something else. My eyes hurt looking at that."

"Jiang-xiong, don't be mean."

"What? He told me to be honest."

"What about his leather jacket?"

"That's a motorcycle jacket, you don't even own a motorcycle." Jiang Cheng rolls his eyes.

"Maybe I will one day!" Wei Wuxian shoots back. "They're cool and stylish. And I bet I'd look good driving one."

"Sure sure," Jiang Cheng answers back. "Are you going to wear anything other than black and red? Add some purple to your wardrobe, I'm sure you'll look good in it."

"Nah, it's not my favorite color. I've tried purple before and I just don't feel it."

"Green then?" Huaisang suggests.

"No offense, but definitely not. Anyways, I'll go check out now, then we can go grab some grub from the food court."

"We're not finding our sister first?" Jiang Cheng questions.

"Let her have her fun with MianMian. Girls do their own shopping." Wei Wuxian goes to pay for the clothing he'd picked out: a red and black striped flannel, black leather pants, a black cap, and an 'Antisocial social club' sweater.

"Well, we'll have to find them before the movie starts and this place is huge," Jiang Cheng says as he makes his own purchase, a purple and black striped flannel. They then walk to the food court together. The first thing they do is purchase bubble tea from Kung Fu tea before getting in line for Chick-fil-a.

"Where are the girls?" Huaisang asks once they've sat down at a table. "Shouldn't we all eat a meal together before heading to the movie theaters?"

"I've texted them both already," Wei Wuxian says, his mouth full of chicken. "They're in the food court somewhere. They probably went to get teriyaki."

As he speaks, he scans the food court, looking for familiar faces.

"Hmm, isn't that Wen Ning?" Jiang Cheng say suddenly.

"Who?" Wei Wuxian blinks.

"Wen Qing's brother..." Jiang Cheng scratches his head awkwardly. "I've seen pictures of him...on her Instagram."

"Oh?" Wei Wuxian raises his eyebrows at him. "You're stalking her social media now?"

"I'm not stalking." Jiang Cheng punches Wei Wuxian in the shoulders. "She shared it with me!"

"Then Wen Qing is here too then? I didn't know she lived around here."

"Same state, just a few towns over." Jiang Cheng's face flushes again. "This is the biggest mall in the city. And the most popular. Why are you surprised?"

"Are you asking us that or yourself?" Wei Wuxian muses. "You just want to see Wen Qing, don't you?"

"She's a friend," Jiang Cheng retorts. "You think I don't know she's talking to MianMian?" He sighs outwardly.

"You found a hot girl, then found out she's lesbian."

"Shut up!"

"Okay, Huaisang. Don't tease ChengCheng about this. He's sensit-,ow!"

"Quit making a scene please," Huaisang says as he watches the two brothers poke and jab at one another.

"He started it!"
