Oh My, How Extra!

A Special Day

Author's Note: Happy new year, everyone! As promised, here is another OMF special 😊 It's a short and sweet one with only one part. I'm not sure when I'll post the next one but I'll probably give an announcement on my profile when it's time ~

---------------------

Xiang Yu pursed his lips and looked at a certain dragon.

Xin Lan waited for him to speak up but nothing happened. His brows furrowed together. "What?"

Xiang Yu's lips pursed further but he still kept quiet.

"What?!"

"You forgot."

Xin Lan's brows twitched. Why couldn't this person talk normally? Was it really so hard to just tell him what he wanted? Why should they waste time dancing around like this? "Forgot what?"

"What day it is." Xiang Yu's brows furrowed together as well. Why couldn't this guy remember? It was just one day!

Xin Lan didn't know what to say. What day it was? He was probably not referring to the day of the week? Was it some special date? Maybe there was a festival in the Nine Heavens he wanted to go to? "Could it be ... the Mei Xin festival?" That couldn't be, could it? The Mei Xin festival should only be a month from now.

Xiang Yu's gaze darkened and he leaped up from his seat. "You really forgot!"

Before Xin Lan could ask any further, Xiang Yu stormed out of the room, leaving a dumbfounded dragon behind. This guy was so mean! How could he just forget? He wouldn't talk to him anymore!

Xin Lan stared at the door, not quite sure what to make of this. It seemed ... he had really angered him this time? He paused and then shook his head. Forget it. Xiang Yu normally overreacted like this. It was nothing new. In a while, he would have calmed down and would come back.

With that thought, Xin Lan went back to leafing through a book, not at all worried about this 'day' he had forgotten. Unfortunately ... even after several hours, there was still no sign of Xiang Yu returning home.

Xin Lan put down the book and frowned. Why was he still not back? Don't tell him he was really mad this time? He got up and paced up and down, glancing at the door every now and then. Even after five rounds through the room, nothing could be seen of that fallen god.

Xin Lan stopped in his tracks and gritted his teeth. What should he do now? Go and search for him? But where? Xiang Yu wasn't using a transmission stone and would just randomly appear whenever he wanted to and disappear in the same manner.

Xin Lan groaned and brushed through his hair, making the white strands scatter over his shoulders. What to do? What to do? He shook his head and then rushed out of the building, hurrying over to his Master's place.

Jinde raised his brows at Xin Lan's distraught expression. "Don't tell me you had another lover's tiff with Xiang Yu and made him run away crying?"

"It's not a —" Xin Lan wanted to retort but interrupted himself. "How do you know?"

"Oh? So it actually was like that. I wouldn't have thought." He smiled happily and supported his chin, watching Xin Lan's dark expression as if he was taking delight in his troubles.

Xin Lan took a deep breath and sighed. Obviously, Xiang Yu had run over here to cry to Jinde after he had treated him so 'badly'. "Where is he?"

"Let me ask you a question instead: Do you know what you did wrong?"

Xin Lan's gaze darted around and he turned away. Well, he had apparently forgotten something but as for what that was ... "What day is it today?" He turned back to Jinde, his brows tightly furrowed.
