His heart aches at that sharp laughter. The world may think what it wants of Wanyin's temper - and not without reason, Lan Xichen is not so blind to pretend that isn't true - but he has still seen Wanyin turn his disdain onto himself more than he has anyone else.
And he is most certainly not going to let this drop, though he doesn't stop Wanyin from kissing him.
"Yes," he whispers against Wanyin's lips, without quite breaking this kiss, though he pulls back after another few moments.
"A-Cheng, you know how worried I have been that I will be too much for you, that my devotion will overwhelm you. Do you truly think I would have any difficulty repeating it every day?" He cups Wanyin's face again, thumb stroking along his cheekbone. "That I would not cherish the opportunity to repeat it multiple times a day, even if you didn't need it? We are a match, my heart. No matter how much you think you may need of me, I want it. I want you to need me, the way I need you."
It's a quiet admission, said only because he doesn't want Wanyin to doubt himself - and because his own shadow self has already said as much already.
