Having already finished more than half of the plate of peanuts, the waiter responded, "Of course! Our shop is honest to everyone, from the old to the young. Leave 'em here and don't worry. We'll wait until you come back to close our shop. Hey, Young Masters, are you going to the Chang Residence right now? Whoa, now that's pretty cool—I'm from the area and I haven't even been there! I've only dared to sneak a few looks at it from far away. Are you two going inside? What are you going to do?"

Wei Wuxian, "We're also just gonna sneak a few looks, from far away."

The young waiter had an outgoing personality, getting friendly with strangers a bit too quickly. Although they only chatted for a short while, he was already treating Wei Wuxian as if they were friends.

He came over to put his arm around Wei Wuxian's shoulder, "Is the work that you two do hard? Do you earn lots of money? Probably a ton, right? What a respectable job. Let me ask you something—is it difficult to get started? I..."

As he babbled, he suddenly shut his mouth, nervously looking to the side. He whispered, "Young Master, why is the one beside you... staring at me?"

Wei Wuxian followed his gaze just to see Lan WangJi turn around, stand up, and walk outside the liquor shop, "Oh, him. This friend of mine was brought up strictly. He absolutely hates it when other people are being too comfortable with each other in front of him. Isn't that strange?"

The waiter awkwardly took away his arm, replying in a hushed voice, "Strange indeed. The way he looked over, you'd think that I was putting my arm around his wife..."

...

"Because he does," Wen Ruohan interjected and then shouted at the screen, "Wei Wuxian is already claimed buddy!"

Some chuckled at his comment and some groaned. Wei Wuxian couldn't help but be amused by it all.

...

With Lan Wangji's hearing ability, it was impossible for him to not catch something just because it was with a lowered voice. Imagining how he'd feel right now, Wei Wuxian tried so hard not to laugh that his stomach hurted.

He quickly said to the waiter, "I finished a jar."

The waiter, "I'm sorry?"

Wei Wuxian pointed at himself, "I'm still standing."

Finally recalling the "if you can still stand after you finish this, I'll adopt your surname" that he said earlier, he blurted out, "Oh... Ohhh! Uhm... Wow! I'm not kidding, but this is my first time seeing someone who can still stand and speak properly after downing a jar. Young Master, what's your surname?"

Wei Wuxian, "My surname..." Suddenly remembering the "Wei WuQian" that the waiter mentioned, the corners of his lips twitched. He smoothly transitioned, "Is Lan."

...

"I mean he is technically not wrong anymore," Wen Ruohan said.

"Lan Wuxian, Lan Ying," Wei Wuxian said out loud, "how does that down, Lan Zhan?"

"I love the way it sounds," Lan Wangji answered, "you should make it official. We are married."

Wei Wuxian blushed, "really? You want me to change my name?" He asked.

"Only if you want to, of course," Lan Wangji added.

"Of course I want to, I just wasn't expecting to ever potentially change it. I am married to you, but I am not sure I am worthy enough to be officially called a Lan," Wei Wuxian told him.
