#and he's both a PDH student in Mechatronics studying underwater drones

[besanii]

If you are still doing hc for au. Then modern Professor/ detective wangxian au? Only for a change Wwx is the prof! 😄😄😘

Detective LWJ gets assigned a case that requires expert knowledge in the programming trajectories of underwater drones and WWX is the preeminent expert in the field (his papers are well-known, often cited, his courses are always jam-packed full of wide-eyed first years because he’s engaging and funny and makes mechatronics easy to understand)

He’s also a massive nerd, likes to drink and smoke and dresses in ripped skinny jeans and oversized shirts and his hair is a disaster and LWJ mistakes him for a student at first and is horrified that this unkempt troll of a man is the celebrated Professor Wei Wuxian (’I’m looking for the professor’; ‘I am the professor!’)

When WWX starts getting caught up in talking about the details of the case though, he’s lightning-fast and extremely observant, and even LWJ (who is by no means dumb) has trouble keeping up with his techno mumbo-jumbo so he starts reading up on the subject and ofc that means he ends up reading WWX’s papers and is irrationally upset that this hobo-looking man who he can probably bend in half like a twig is such an amazing writer as well (he’s very upset, guys)

Somehow this turns into some weird James Bond shit and they get ambushed by thugs hired by some rich weirdo who wants to hack underwater drones used for research to bomb other countries and steal their shit or something dramatic and first-world-problemy like that, and that’s when LWJ also finds out that WWX knows Wing Chun (think Ip Man 1: “我要打十個!”) so if he wants to bend him over he’ll probably need to work for it

They fight their way out of the situation, save the day, the rich weirdo gets arrested and later tried for treason, and LWJ rejoices when he finally gets to bend that snarky, raggedy twig gremlin in half after a sparring match
