Shen Yuan opens his mouth -- and closes it again, pursing his lips in a prissy little huff. "Lan-gongzi knows exactly what this one meant," he pouts, refusing entirely to engage with the question of his age because hell if he knows!! Probably somewhere in his mid-to-late 20s? He stopped tracking his birthdays in the world of PIDW!

(Don't mistake him; Shen Yuan knows perfectly well that Lan Xichen is merely teasing him. It's just that Shen Yuan is constitutionally inclined to be dramatic when he doesn't get his way, sort of like somebody else Lan Xichen knows.)

"If paying is so important to Lan-gongzi, then fine! He can pay!" he says ungraciously, pulling out his fan to pout behind it some more. "But this one insists on paying the next three times, since Lan-gongzi called this meal a banquet! It's only fair!"
