Summer memoir (YiZhan FF)

Five

Zhan sighed while his hands were resting at the back of his head, he was laying down the bed.

Yibo was out with Xichen as of the moment because Xichen had to do something with his 'brother' as what he said earlier before they went to the banquet hall.

He reminiced what happened earlier when they were in at the banquet hall, one thing to describe what happened was 'messy'.

He doesn't know if he'll be embarrassed or laugh with the thought of the events earlier.

Ealier, when they reached the banquet hall, everyone was quiet and eyeing their every move, only Xichen interacts with them, Xichen who was beside Yibo whispered that the one infront looking grumpy while eying them sharply is their uncle Lan Qiren, even though he was old you can still see that he was quite a gorgeous man in his youth.

When they reached their own seats, Yibo who remembered that they're husbands and should act like one, took Zhan's hand and pulled him closer to him and made them sit together or rather– made Zhan sit on his lap. Every one inside the banquet hall dropped their jaws at their Second young master Lan's sudden move. Some even choked and the others started to gossip which made Lan Qiren mad. He ordered everyone to be quiet, stated one of the four thousand rules and immediately, not a sound has been heard.

"Y-Yib–Lan Zhan! " Zhan exclaimed quietly, he stared at Yibo and his eyes communicated with him asking Yibo what has gone through his mind or if he has gone insane.

"Wangji.. " Xichen looks like he's calling his brother but it's clearly a warning, he eyed their uncle who looks so mad.

"D-Despicable! " Lan Qiren screamed, almost wanting to slam his table while glaring at them.

Zhan immediately stood up while Yibo looked unbothered, but deep inside he was so nervous, thinking that what he have done was a wrong move. He just sat there stiffly and even drank water from his cup.

But i thought they were clingy to each other? Or is it the other way around? Yibo asked himself.

"Uncle! Please calm down, my brother might just have missed his husband so much that he doesn't want to be apart from him for even a second. " Xichen said, clearly an excuse with a faint awkward laugh.

Lan Qiren looked at the two grimly "Xichen, you better discipline your brother, make him transcribe one thousand copies of our sect rules, it might knock some sense in his brain. "

Xichen looked pale and glanced at the two who were oblivious of what was happening.

Zhan sat down, his face was red all over, even his ears were red. He took a spoonful of the soup that was in his table but choked and had a hard time swallowing.

Everyone looked at him that made him uncomfortable, he just smiled at them awkwardly and continued to eat even though his throat still hurts.

What kind of food is this? Don't they know how to put salt? Zhan thought while trying to eat his food.

Qiren who was watching their every move, let them finish their food, then after that, Xichen had a talk with them both, telling Zhan to head out first because Yibo was being punished.

Zhan almost went to rumble with Lan Qiren if Xichen didn't stopped him first.

" It's my fault ZhanZhan, i thought it's normal for us, i just don't want them to find us out. " Yibo said as the three walked out of the banquet hall.

Zhan groaned "but is it right that he's making you write a thousand copies of those neverending rules? No offense Zewu Jun but i think your rules sounds ridiculous. " Zhan said still fuming in anger.

Xichen sighed " i understand, but Yibo must still do it or else our uncle will send someone to look out for you and invade your privacy even while sleeping. "

"That's even more ridiculous! Yibo we should definitely find our way back immediately I don't want to stay here any longer. " Zhan exclaimed while frowning.

Yibo nodded "we'll talk about it after i come back. "

" I understand that you are still not used of living here but please give this place a chance, cloud recesses might have a lot of rules but it's not that bad to live here, especially with the juniors around, I'll introduce them to the both of you after quite some time. " Xichen explained.

"You may be right, But your food taste bland, do you eat them everyday? Because i can't eat that every day, not now, not ever. I want meat or something" Zhan pouted.

Yibo flicked his finger on Zhan's fore head "can you not be picky? You're older than me but you behave like a kid, are you really a gege? And the food doesn't really taste that bad, you're just being fussy. "

Xichen who witnessed the scene infront of him can help but laugh, thank goodness no one is around or else people might think they have gone mad. They weren't acting like themselves afterall, if someone gets to see this, they might have a heart attack.

"What's funny Zewu Jun? " Zhan asked.

Xichen shook his head "I'm sorry, i can't help but laugh, you act so much like master Wei. Just a little bit less shameless. "

"What was he like? What were they like? Can you tell me more about their..uhm.. love.. story? " Zhan asked curiously.

Yibo who heard what Zhan said felt his face heat up.

"Ofcourse, but as of the moment i need to accompany him to the library pavilion, i will tell more about their love story after we came back. " Xichen assured.

Zhan nodded "great, i want to go with you but i need to go back to sort out what happened to us "

Soon they parted ways, Zhan walked back to Lan Wangji's room while the two walked towards the library pavilion.

"Wangji–i mean Yibo, your ears have gone red. " Xichen teased while on the way.

"It's hot. " Yibo defended, looking forward and walked faster like he knows the way, and yeah he does, he reached the library pavilion without asking where it was.

Xichen who observed Yibo has many thoughts in his mind but eventually shook his head and goes after Yibo.

As soon as he reached the library pavilion, he saw Yibo just standing still at the threshold.

"Are you alright? " Xichen asked when he stood beside Yibo.

Yibo nodded. " I was just amazed " he said while scanning the whole place.

So this is what the an ancient library looks like. Yibo thought.

Xichen explained to Yibo what he had to do, As Xichen further explained, Yibo wanted to faint or just die or anything that can make him disappear. At this moment everything started to sink in.

"W-Wait, is this for real?! You mean i have to do this as punishment? These?! " He exclaimed when he saw how many rules he had to write down. His eyes almost bulged and his face was pale.

He started to regret pulling Zhan earlier but on the second thought, he kinda liked the feeling of Zhan sitting on his lap, with Zhan smelling like fresh air and crunchy autumn leaves, he liked that a lot, Zhan's scent intoxicated him.

" i really have to explain things more accurately next time, sorry for not warning you sooner. " Xichen apologized.

Yibo just sighed. "It's not your fault, Let's start now so i can go back quickly. "

Xichen nodded and offered his help which Yibo gladly accepted because he still doesn't know what to do exactly.

But after a few strokes of the brush, Yibo seems like he was just now doing it naturally like what the 'Second Young Master Lan' always does.

This left Xichen into a conclusion while watching Yibo write, he has written 10 copies so far in a span of 3 hours. He needs to talk to them both. With Yibo's speed at writing now, it seems like he will finish it in more or less, one week.
