Journey to the Beautiful Ending

C5 - Wen Yuan

Chún Fángjiān - pure room
Chun - pure
Fangjian - room
However, all the rooms in Cloud Recesses ends in 'shi' so I used the mandarin pinyin of room which is shi.

Note: I don't speak chinese. This is thanks to Google! 😅

*______________*

The library pavilion at Cloud Recesses should be the most quiet place except for the sound of books being flipped to the next page or the soft sound of brush. Lan Sizhui can't help but to stopped reading and raised his head to look at Jingyi who has been sighing simce they entered the library. It's a little disturbing but he's worried that his friend might have a problem. He stood and walked towards his desk.

"Jingyi." Sizhui tried to call for his attention but the boy sighed again. He snapped his fingers on his face and succeeded to gained his attention. "Jingyi, what's wrong?"

Jingyi sat properly and looked at Sizhui's worried face. Jingyi always thought that Sizhui was thoughtful and has soothing personality. He's well-aware that their HanguangJun was the one who raised and guided him. In spite of being raised by a cold and stern personality, Sizhui grew up being gentle and kind. Always smiling.

Few days ago, Jingyi was invited in the Hanshi. Something that rarely happens. Lan Xichen talked to him about replacing Lan Sizhui as a head disciple. He was shocked to hear those but what made him shock more was he was chosen to replace his friend. He tried to remember if Sizhui has done something that so unacceptable in the past but he couldn't remember anything. He first doesn't understand what was going on so he asked.

"ZewuJun, I don't think it is fair for Sizhui to be thrown out from his position. He has been a great leader. Upright and gentle. May I know the reason of suddenly doing this?"

Lan Xichen smiled at him. He expected this reaction from the boy. "Jingyi, do not worry. Sizhui will just take another position."

"What position? Is he aware? Why did he not told me?"

"He is not aware yet. I wanted to first inform you so you could help us out from moving his things."

"To where?"

"Chunshi."

Every Lan disciple knew why that chamber was built. Even if he doesn't ask what position Sizhui will fill, it was very obvious that he will be the new childe of the main family of Lan Clan. He was very happy for him but sad too. Sizhui has been his room mate. HanguangJun paired them up since they were childhood friends. Lan Xichen told him that his room will be renovated to make it as his own room but he still prefer a company.

"Jingyi? Why are you spacing out so early in the morning? Are you sick?"

Jingyi pouted, "Sizhui, my birthday is coming. You have to treat me with chicken wings."

The gentle boy chuckled. "Alright.You can have a bucket of it after our night hunting tomorrow."

Jingyi smiled widely. He suddenly got excited. "Promise?"

"Mm. Stop dazing now. Finished what you're copying. You haven't started anything yet."

"Okay, okay. I'm doing it now." He said as he grabbed his brush.

"Will you not share me your problem?"

"I don't have a problem. I'm just a little worried but with you treating me, I'm all good."

"Are you sure?"

Jingyi sighed. "Aiya! Sizhui, I'm just worried that you may not get married. Many sects have asked you to be betrothed to their daughter but you kept on declining."
