The Flowers in Your Garden Part 2

Lan WangJi was excited and trying not to show it.

There were many things to do and organise before the disciples would get to Cloud Recesses, some from the nearby smaller clans were already here, and Lan WangJi had to remind himself that Suibian had mentioned it would take him two weeks to get here.

In his head, he was having a mini countdown and every morning he would knock off one day at a time. The arrival of letters was erratic and he wasn't sure whether this was because Suibian was a little chaotic by nature or if there was a genuine delay.

So every chance Lan WangJi got, he was heading back to the Jingshi to check if anything was waiting for him.

Even XiChen noticed.

"You seem excited, Didi..."

They were having breakfast in the dining halls. Lan WangJi didn't look up from his bowl of soup.

"Mn."

"Is it because we are to have new guests in Cloud Recesses?" He smiled warmly when he noticed a pair of gradually reddening ears.

Lan WangJi hated him sometimes....

XiChen loved to tease him, just like their mother used to.

Lan WangJi ate as fast as he could and speed walked to the Jingshi.

There on his little table, were three letters.

Three...

Lan WangJi hoped he would be able to open them in order.

Dear Bichen,       Day 14

I am so excited, I really can't wait to reach Cloud Recesses. My brother was so annoyed at me, he yelled that if I didn't stop moving around so much, I was gonna capsize our boat.

As if...

I love swimming...I've never asked you, do you swim? Can you? Is there somewhere you are able to?

I love the way I can glide through water, just like the tiny fishes that gather in big groups. I like opening my eyes under water and seeing all the different colours, especially if there are corals. It's so pretty, Bichen.

Don't worry if you can't swim, I'll teach you one day. I'm good at teaching, at least there's something I can do...

We're going to moor the boats at night, each night, because the further away we get from....um, nearly gave away the name of my hometown, haha...anyway, the further away we get, the river becomes choppy with a nasty undercurrent, especially at night.

This is actually great because as long as we are on land, I'll be able to send you my letters and get yours.

Oh, Bichen...I'm kind of nervous too...

Sincerely,

Suibian.

Lan WangJi frowned and carefully opened the next letter, after pulling out a fresh piece of parchment and writing down his question.

Dear Bichen,     Day 14 (still equals sad faces)

We passed by some lovely fishing villages, all their homes were decorated in flowers, so they were really pretty to look at.

We're travelling quite fast, but it doesn't feel like it. I hate sitting around doing nothing, and I get told off if I stand up. I'm told I'm too restless...but really, is that my fault??
