Notes:
This took me so much longer than I originally wanted, and for that: I apologize! Last week was when I realized that today was going to be Lan Xichen's birthday, so I decided to try and finish this fic up before now and publish it today, and I did!
I apologize for all of the possible grammatical and spelling errors, I suck at English lol. Also, I made the effort to not use courtesy names, but it was just as I was fixing to publish this that I realized that I used Wei Wuxian instead of Wei Ying, so please try to let that slip by lmao!
I hope you guys enjoy this, especially you, Honey, since this is a gift fic for you!

It was when Jiang Cheng was walking one of the biggest dogs he's ever had when he got a random message from a number he didn't recognize. The context was also straight out of the blue—and the person didn't even introduce themself?
(XXX) XXX-XXXX:

Hey so I know it's really short notice, but would you be available to watch my son in a few hours? I have to head to work and I can't find anyone to sit for him.
Who the fuck was this person? Did they accidentally type in their babysitter's number wrong or something? He wouldn't be able to question them right now, though. He was on a job, and he still had to pet sit at the same person's house for another half an hour or so. So, this mysterious person would just have to wait and be patient before he gave any semblance of an answer.
Me:
[10:17]
I have no clue who you are, and I was in the middle of something, so if you could take the time to explain who the fuck you are that would be great.
(XXX) XXX-XXX:
[10:18]
Oh, you are completely right I apologize for that. You see, my brother recommended you to me since he knows that you babysit your nephew a lot, so he thought that you would be a good choice to watch my son for the duration that I'm working.
Me:
[10:19]
Yeah that's cool and all but I still don't have any clue as to who you are
(XXX) XXX-XXXX:
[10:19]
Ah, you're right again; my name is Lan Huan. A pleasure to meet you!
Me:
[10:19]
You're painfully optimistic
Me:
[10:19]
What makes you think I even want to look after a kid right now?
Lan Huan:
[10:19]
I'll pay you ¥712.
Me:
[10:19]
WWX pays me more than that to babysit A-Yuan
Lan Huan:
[10:19]
Per hour.
Me:
[10:19]
Deal
Lan Huan:
[10:19]
Thank you! I won't be home when you get there, so I do apologize for that; I have to leave pretty soon.
Me:
[10:20]
Mood flip much?
Me:
[10:20]
God I'm already starting to regret this
Me:
[10:20]
Is there anything I should know beforehand? Like, his allergies, any possible pets I might have to take care of while also looking after your kid, plants that I need to water, rules of the house that I need to be aware of—those types of things?
Lan Huan:
[10:20]
That would be a smart idea to give that information to you, wouldn't it?
Me:
[10:21]
I mean if you want me to accidentally poison your kid while you're away I'll do it, just thought I'd ask before I did or something
