[[[忘羡 | WangXian 1]] : The Second Kiss That Came Too Soon

[3.] Lunch break. (I)

- It is too hot.. I hate summer... - Wei Wuxian was mumbling. 

He was bored out of his wits as Lan Zhan would not answer to any questions or smart and witty things he was throwing at him, as polite people would, to keep the conversation going, so finally he gave up. He looked up at the blazing sun, and wondered if he was the only one sweating like a pig. Lan Zhan always looked cool and serene as a winter lake.

- I hate noon time... I hate summer... - he rumbled on. – Hey, hey, Lan Zhan, let's take a short break! I am so hungry! Aren't you hungry?? – the boy complained. Sometimes he wondered if Lan Zhan ever slept or ate – the tall boy looked like a perfect doll at times. 

"Who am I kidding? He looks like a doll made of wood at all  times!" –  Wei Wuxian pouted.

There were 3 horses, riding along, one per cultivator, and one carrying their belongings. The horses, too, were tired and hot – they all had started very early in the morning, and there were no evil-spirit-possessed anywhere in sight.

Wei Wuxian was really bored, they were riding for a couple of hours now. Often, in the deafening silence of hot dead noon, his mind would wonder back, to that incident, as he was sitting, blindfolded in the forest, and somebody mysterious pushed themselves on him and kissed him with great passion. 

He was so bothered about the whole thing that last night he couldn't bear it any longer and told his Shijie the whole story. She seemed very happy for him, and really excited that there was a girl who liked him so much that she would kiss him with such passion. Because, even Wei Wuxian had to admit to himself, he could be extremely annoying at times. Jiang Yanli was beaming with happiness  –  she really wanted the best for her baby brother, as she knew well he had a heart of gold...

- That's it! That IS IT.  

Wei Wuxian was done. He spotted a large tree on the side of the road, providing enough shade in the heat, so he pointed his horse in that direction, dismounted, and threw himself directly on the ground, panting.

Lan Wangji ignored him, and continued down the road.

- Lan Zhan! Lan Zhan!  Come on, it is so cool here! Don't be so stuck-up, I am sure you are hungry too! – he shouted after him. – Hey! I am NOT going on, until I get some rest! You hear me?? – Wei Wuxian laughed. He was sure that even Lan Zhan was not that  obstinate and would turn around and join him.

Yet, the minutes passed, and then more minutes passed, and just as he was starting to get worried and ready to chase the boy down the road, he saw a very grumpy Lan Zhan riding back. He grinned, content.

- Ah... I knew this idiot would come back.
