I Know We're Not in a Drama

[Do you know how I know we're not in a drama?] Wei WuXian wrote while flopped on his bed and thoroughly enjoying the cool air wafting over his body. [Carolyn brought in sodas, water, and iced teas today, and you just drank your tea like a normal person.] He pressed the back button a few times on his tv remote and rewatched the male lead of this particular drama drink from his water bottle. The camera shot was definitely set up as a thirst trap: the lighting created almost a mini-halo around his head, condensation dripped off the bottle, and the way the actor held the bottle up high, exposing the length of his throat and bobbing Adam's apple? It set the female lead, and probably female viewers, drooling.

[How else does one drink iced tea?] Lan WangJi responded a few minutes later.

[You obviously don't watch enough dramas to not know what the ML looks like when he's drinking from a bottle.]

[That assumes the object of my affection works with me, was there watching me, and I wished to seduce him. I'd also have to ensure the label faces the camera and wasn't blocked by my fingers. That's simply too much effort to go into drinking something while on a short break at work.]

Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi are roommates in college. then colleagues at work. They are definitely not Main Leads acting in a drama. As evidenced by what does not happen to them.
