Anniversary Gift

6.Huíyì

"I still don't understand why we are in the library now?"

Lan Jingyi said looking at Ouyang Zizhen in confusion while Jin Ling also raised an eyebrow at him. Ouyang Zizhen had dragged Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi into the Lan Sect Library as soon as they had finished their breakfast. Lan Sizhui had once again gone to Lan Wangji to ask about their wedding anniversary before Wei WuXian could wake up.

"To look for inspiration."

Ouyang Zizhen said simply, not looking up from the book he was holding. He was sitting in front of a desk with hundreds of books stacked up almost drowning his figure behind jt. Jin Ling huffed and motioned all over the books and said.

"We can look outside. Not in scriptures and -and old scrolls!!! "

"You are welcome to look outside, Jin Sect Leader."

Ouyang Zizhen said while bowing his head politely to the Jin Sect Leader and with a sweet smile. Jin Ling looked at him with narrowed eyes while Lan Jingyi grinned widely seeing the expression on the said Jin Sect Leader. Jin Ling flicked his sleeves and left without another word.

"I'm coming with you."

Lan Jingyi said dashing after Jin Ling. Jin Ling stopped on his track and turned to look at Lan Jingyi with suspicion. He raised an eyebrow and asked.

"You?"

"I don't want to spend my day inside here, I have done enough copying for many lifetimes already."

Lan Jingyi said shivering dramatically. Jin Ling rolled his eyes at Lan Jingyi's theatrics which looked unsurprisingly similar to Wei WuXian's. They both stepped out of the Library Pavilion to see Lan Sizhui walking towards them.

"Ah? Sizhui, what did he say?"

Lan Jingyi asked holding Lan Sizhui's shoulder. He looked at Lan Sizhui who was silent. Lan Sizhui just shook his head and did not say anything. Jin Ling crossed his hands over his chest and asked angrily.

"Silence and sad face again?"

"Yes"

Lan Sizhui replied. He had tried and failed yet again to make Lan Wangji talk about his wedding anniversary. Lan Wangji satyed silent while not meeting his eyes so Lan Sizhui had left without further prying.

"Go help Zizhen, we'll be back soon."

Lan Jingyi said tapping Lan Sizhui's shoulder twice. He gestured towards the mountains of books at the corner of Library Pavilion where Ouyang Zizhen was sitting, head buried in a book. Lan Sizhui chuckled at the sight and went inside the Library Pavilion.

"Sizhui, Sizhui, Sizhui! "

Lan Jingyi called as he dashed into the Library Pavilion with Jin Ling trailing behind him. He came skidding towards the desk where Lan Sizhui and Ouyang Zizhen were sitting.

"Jingyi did you run?"

Lan Sizhui asked eyeing the panting Lan Jingyi. Lan Jingyi just smiled some more without any care of the rules he had cleary broken. He waved his hands and said with a wide smile.

"We both did."

"Nobody saw."

Jin Ling said dismissively, elegantly taking a seat next to Lan Sizhui. He picked up a book from the table and started flipping the pages without paying any attention. Seeing the silent question in Ouyang Zizhen's and Lan Sizhui's face, Lan Jingyi said.

"We looked around the entire Cloud Recesses."

"And?"

Ouyang Zizhen asked as he placed his book down. Lan Sizhui also sat straight looking at the very excited Lan Jingyi. Lan Jingyi said cheerfully waving his hands.
