"In my defense a bunch of stuff happened this week," (you may insert your own 'hello, I'm stuff' joke here) "so I'm not aware of any entrepreneurship going on."

"This Anglo was going to announce it but then a bunch of geopolitics happened." He says the word approximately the way you'd say 'dead rat' if you were not Wei Wuxian.

"Politics is the worst."

"No politics. Only orgasms."

"What a world it would be if that could work. Solve the mal problem with free love, et cetera."

"Well, has anyone tried?" 

"You would have thought, but if they did, they certainly didn't write it down."

"Mmm. Maybe we should. Just to be on the safe side." And now he's kissing Jing Yi's neck again.

"Only one way to find out."

"So are you convinced now or are you going to tell me in five minutes that this is a terrible idea."

"As I said, you're good at sales." And neck kisses. Nie Huaisang has a good neck.

Nie Huaisang isn't necessarily good at the subsequent events but he's a very fast learner.

And Jing Yi is more than willing to teach such a good student.

Especially when teaching him is so rewarding.

As he said: a good student.

Debauching people is so fun.

Finally he curls up in blissful lassitude.

"Sex," he announces, "is great," and attempts to burrow into Jing Yi's shoulder.

"I was about to say 'I'm glad I convinced you,' but I'm not sure you needed that much convincing."

"I'm pretty sure you're the one who needed all the convincing."

"I didn't need convincing of the goodness of sex, I needed convincing of the goodness of having it with people who threw themselves into my bed."

"What? That's the best kind of sex to have."

"--I think you might need to account for the narrowness of your experiences."

"No one has ever thrown themself onto my bed and demanded sex."

"...Give me a couple of days and I can see if I can fix that."

"Excellent. Repeat business."

"Gotta maintain the ties between Shanghai and Xi'An."
