Summer memoir (YiZhan FF)

Six

Zhan tried to peek inside the library pavilion, he's getting bored because it's been two days since he last saw Yibo and Xichen. He can't see where they are, so he thinks that they might be further inside covered by the shelves.

Are they still not done yet? He asked himself.

He went around and peek through the window on the side, and there he saw Yibo still writing, sitting gracefully while Xichen was observing him.

Zhan made himself comfortable while staring at Yibo, the latter seems to have sensed that he was being watched by another person so he looked up and glanced at the window.

His face lit up when he saw Zhan staring at him.

"ZhanZhan! " He called happily.

Zhan who realized that he was staring at Yibo while his mind started to wander, fell out of shock. Both Yibo and Xichen ran quickly towards the window.

"A-Aiyah.. oww " Zhan rubbed his back and helped himself up.

"Zhan are you okay? " Yibo asked, looking out from the window.

"Hehe I'm fine " Zhan assured them with an 'ok' sign.

"Master wei, you should've just went inside. " Xichen said.

"I don't want to disturb you but i guess i diaturbed you even more. " Zhan explained.

"It's alright, please come inside and make yourself comfortable. "

Yibo smiled and went back to his seat to continue what he was doing. It's been 2 days since he started writing and he was so bored, but now that Zhan is here it might won't be that bad anymore.

Zhan went in and sat with them. He nudged Xichen and asked "how many copies have he written? "

"The one he is writing now is the 387th book, he may be done within a week. "

Zhan nodded and watched Yibo writing, Xichen saw how Yibo's mood changed when Zhan joined them. He can't help but smile.

While Yibo was writing Zhan asked Xichen may questions such as

" Why don't i see clouds when this place is called clouds recesses? "

" Do you always wear white robes like that? I can't help but think that you're all mourning for someone here. "

" Why are there so many rules? Some of them doesn't even make sense. "

" Is Lan Qiren really that grumpy? Or was he just born like that? "

"Is the real Lan Wangji the first gay in Gusu? "

"Are you gay too? "

Xichen doesn't know how to answer the last question because he himself is confused about his sexuality, he just can't sort it out because first, his uncle is an Homophobic man and second he is the leader of their sect and he needs to have an heir.

When the darkness covered the sky and the moon rises, Zhan decided to go back to Lan Zhan's room. While on his way he heard chains dangling and soon, from the dark side of the road, emerged a man dressed in black, his hair was messy and long, chains were handcuffed in his wrist, on his back were a few deciples of Gusu, wearing white robes and each have white headbands on their forehead. they looked years younger than most of the desciples that he saw earlier.

"Master Wei? " The man in black asked.

"Senior Wei! " One of the deciples called happily. He looked like a trouble maker and a rule breaker but oh well, he can't judge anyone just based on their looks. He smiled at them awkwardly then turn his back on them.

He almost curse when he realized that the ones infront of him are Wen Ning and the Junior desciples of Gusu. He doesn't know how to react in front of them.

Zewu Jun! I need your help!

He is certain that the man dressed in black that looks like an innocent cinnamon roll is his loyal servant Wen Ning, so he called him and the latter obediently walked towards him.

"What is it master Wei? " Wen Ning asked.

He sighed and looked at the juniors who were busy in their own world before looking back at Wen Ning, he put his arms around his shoulder and pulled him closer so no one can hear what they were talking about.

"You're Wen Ning right? " He asked.

Wen Ning tilted his head as if he was wondering why his master asked him that but still nodded aggressively after a few seconds.

" And those little brats are the junior desciples? "

Again, Wen Ning nodded aggressively.

"Can you tell me which one is Sizhui? "

Wen Ning looked at the juniors before pointing Sizhui to him. "That one master Wei. "

Wen Ning pointed to a youth that looked handsomely cute, he was holding a sword in his left hand while talking to the one who called him earlier, the one that looked like a trouble maker.

"Who's the one next to him? " He asked again

"That's master Jingyi " Wen Ning answered.

Sizhui realized that he's being watched by Zhan and Wen Ning so he looked at them and smiled "do you need anything Senior Wei? "

Zhan smiled "nothing my son! I just missed you hehe "

The Juniors looked at him like he's some sort of an alien.

Did i said anything wrong? Why are they looking like that?

"Senior Wei are you drunk? " Jingyi asked.

Zhan frowned "why do you think so? "

Jingyi made face " nothing, i forgot that you always do something unexpected. "

Sizhui who went silent, looked overwhelmed. It's the first time that Senior Wei called him son. He liked it though. 

Zhan glanced at Wen Ning and went closer to whisper " Am i not supposed to call him my son? "

Wen Ning just shrugged. "Aish, you're no fun. " Zhan pouted.

"Where's Hanguang Jun, master Wei? " Wen Ning asked while looking around, he looked kinda alert.

"Why? You looked scared, did he beat you up or something? " Zhan asked.

Wen Ning shake his head "no, he just doesn't like me getting close to you. "

Oh? So Lan Wangji is the possessive type. Zhan thought while nodding his head.

He looked around before whispering to Wen Ning, "He's just here, hiding, watching if a certain someone named Wen Ning will get close to his husband. " He teased that made Wen Ning take a few steps away from him.

"I am certain that you are really drunk senior Wei. " Jingyi commented.

"Alright, alright. Drunk if drunk, do you still have anything else to do? If so, i will now excuse my self because i feel like procrastinating. " Zhan said, waving his hands goodbye and walked out, leaving the Juniors and Wen Ning dumbfounded. Jingyi scratches his head in confusion while watching their Senior Wei walk away, but eventually turn his back away when Sizhui nudged him to walk because Wen Ning is leading them for their night hunt today.

Zhan finally let out his breath that he's been holding on for too long. His heart beating like crazy because of nervousness. He looked back at the juniors that is marching away.

They didn't found out.. right?
