People Around: Chapter Twenty-Seven

Many can speak about you behind your back, whether it's good or bad. Whatever they may say, nothing is ever wrong when you know you are doing right. It's just their perspective.

The sky was now growing dark as they entered the Jingshi.

"I've never really been inside your room since how many years now, right? It's so simple in here."

"It will be messy if there are a lot more of things inside."

"I understand that, but it'd be better if there were more furniture! Just like in the Gentian house, there are flowers on the table and oh! There's also a table for scrolls."

"Have that all."

"Oh? Where are the flowers then?"

"Here."

Lan Wangji carried Wei Wuxian and into the bed chamber.

"Lan Zhan! You're so shameless!"

They both laid down on the bed as they faced each other. Hair tangled as Wei Wuxian leaned on Lan Wangjis' chest.

"The last time we slept like this was when I was ten, right?"

"Mn."

"I missed cuddling like this. It feels really warm."

"Missed you too."

Wei Wuxian closed his eyes as he listened to Lan Wangjis' accelerating heartbeat, a smile forming on his lips.

"Lan Zhan... Were you lonely when I was asleep?"

"Very..."

"Did you miss me?"

"Mn..."

Lan Wangji kissed Wei Wuxians' forehead.

"Will never let you go."

"Alright alright, I won't too."

Lan Wangji swallowed the lump in his throat as he began to hum. Wei Wuxian can't deny, Lan Wangji really has a good singing voice, he just doesn't show it. He loves it when his Lan Wangji sings for him.

"A lone rose growing on the ground. Surrounded by snow all around... Spirit so youthful and aglow... Oh how I wish I'll keep you close~"

Wei Wuxian giggled as he hugged him tighter.

"Smile so big and so bright. Nothing it does is wrong nor right... Everything is fun and joyous. Growing up so beautiful and glorious~"

Wei Wuxian then cleared his throat as he hummed along with the melody.

"A lone orchid growing on a stem... So stoic, so righteous and stern. Spirit so strict and dull... Oh how I wish I'll make you smile~"

A hand drawing circles on the jades' back.

"Smile so dim and small... Eyes almost closed like the fall... Everything so simple and well, okay... Growing up so anxious and away...~"

Lan Wangji closed his eyes as he buried his face in Wei Wuxians' hair.

"Two different flowers, so different and unfitting... But when they tangled with one other, they saw what's missing...~ That new color, that oh so sweet feeling... Growing together with love and understanding~"

"Oh Lan Zhan..."

Wei Wuxian giggled as he aswell, closed his eyes. Lan Wangjis' voice now growing quieter.

"A lone rose growing on the ground... With an orchid now above it in sound... Spirits so lovely and true... A love so strong and in hue...~"
