i think lgj/zzl's first time would be very funny because zhuzhi-lang (guy who has been led to believe his uncle's porn books are accurate) is ready for anything, meanwhile linguang-jun hasn't had sex since his wife left him and is ready for missionary

zhuzhi-lang: hopefully this humble one can please you…should we start with cbt? or is that too tame?

linguang-jun whose only kink is being loved: sure that's fine

Their joining may not have been born out of love but Linguang-jun will not mistreat him. Tianlang-jun has made it very clear that he won’t hesitate to kill Linguang-jun if any harm comes to his nephew. The political ramifications be damned. “This humble one is merely thinking,” Zhuzhi-lang says quietly. A candle is still lit—though neither of them need light to see each other in the darkness—and the gentle glow illuminates the slight downturn of his lips, the feathery quality of his long eyelashes, the sharpness of his cheekbones. “Oh?” Linguang-jun tries to keep his tone casual. This is not the first time he has been in bed with a spouse who lies awake at night thinking. His previous wife’s thoughts became actions which, in turn, led to her running off to be with his wretched brother. “Spend a lot of nights thinking when you should be sleeping, do you?”
