Wei Wuxian is officially on his best behaviour - as difficult as that is for him, he knows he's still somewhat in enemy territory here, and he doesn't want to do anything to ruin the event his nephew has worked so hard to build. Right now, that's easy, since nobody is bothering him or making snarky comments, but he knows it's going to be more difficult later.
It doesn't stop him flashing his nephew a grin as he passes, mind, but that's all he does. It does mean he sees the moment that Jin Ling's eyes alight on Yuan and he has to turn away to hide his smirk. It's not quite as entertaining as it would be if the Lan disciple earning that look wasn't his son, but it's still pretty funny.
Yuan hears the gasp and almost stumbles, but he manages to catch himself just in time. When he hears somebody ask if Jin Ling is alright, however, his eyes flick up despite himself. He meets Jin Ling's gaze for a split second as the other young man turns away - so fast he doesn't even know if Jin Ling registered it - and finds himself pausing.
"Um, Sizhui?" A quiet voice behind him reminds him that he needs to keep moving and he forces himself to continue, moving to take his seat and hoping desperately that the attention will be off them in a moment so he can talk to Jingyi.
