Nie Huaisang smoothly caught the branch and beamed, "I'll do it for you! The copying, I'll do it!"

Wei Wuxian paused, "Hm? But you won't do it for free, will you?" He turned with a smile and crossed his arms, "Say it. What do you want?"

Nie Huaisang nervously chuckled, "Here's the thing, Wei-Xiong," He timidly scratched his cheek, "Lan Qiren  has a bad habit. He likes to quiz us unexpectedly-"

"Hold on!" Wei Wuxian interjected, holding out a hand to stop his rambling, "You want me to take the exam for you?!"

...

Nie Mingjue raised an eyebrow, his voice thundering, "Huaisang?"

Nie Huaisang covered his face with a sleeve as an alternative for a fan.

...

Nie Huaisang grabbed Wei Wuxian's hand and passed him a scroll, "No, telling me the answers is enough! I've got everything prepared."

...

"HUAISANG!!"

Nie Huaisang ran away.

...

Wei Wuxian opened the small scroll and observed the contents with a frown, "Lan Qiren already hates me. If he finds out.."

"Please, Wei-Xiong!" Nie Huaisang pleaded. "It's okay, nothing will go wrong."

...

Jin Zixuan gasped, "I never thought I'd see the day where A-Xian acted like a proper disciple for once. He didn't even take the bait! I have a newfound admiration for him!"

...

The screen switched to Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang dejectedly trailing after an indifferent Jiang Cheng.

"Well.. Sorry, Wei-Xiong." Nie Huaisang spoke.

...

Jin Zixuan's admiration crumbled as soon as it sprouted, "...Nevermind."

Jiang Yanli chuckled. Her husband was adorable.

...

Wei Wuxian crossed his arms with a pout, "Didn't you say it'd be okay?!"

Nie Huaisang lowered his head, "I didn't expect Lan Zhan to suddenly appear.."

...

"Lan Wangji appears everywhere! He's wherever Wei Wuxian goes!"

"It's like he's got a tracking talisman on Wei Wuxian."

"A wife tracker?"

"That sounds cool. Someone please invent that."

...

"Anyways, you're on your own." Jiang Cheng said, gaining their attention. He paused, staring at the building in the distance, "There, the library is right ahead."

...

Wei Wuxian smirked, snuggling into Lan Wangji's arms, "Lan Zhan...They're gonna see..." he whispered.

Lan Wangji glanced to Lan Qiren, then whispered back in response, "As angry as I am at him at the moment, I am worried for uncle."

...

Wei Wuxian walked along the bridge with small steps, "It's only copying a book.. Huaisang."

"Lan Qiren said no one is allowed to help you," Nie Huaisang reminded.
