Wei WuXian bought a bunch of quirky gadgets in Caiyi Town and took them back to the Cloud Recesses. After he arrived, he shared everything between Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli.
Because Lan QiRen went to Qinghe and there were no classes for a few days, all of the boys played around in complete chaos.
The waterborne abyss in Caiyi Town created a great deal of trouble for the GusuLan Sect. It was impossible to completely destroy it, and the Lan Sect couldn't chase it to somewhere else like the Wen Sect did. The sect leader of the Lan Sect was in secluded meditation most of the time, so Lan QiRen used all of his energy on this matter. With the lessons becoming shorter and shorter, Wei WuXian's time spent with his friends and family and especially Lan Wangji in the mountains became longer and longer.
Today, Wei WuXian intended on going outside with a group of seven or eight people again. As they passed the Lan Sect's Library Pavilion, he looked through the drape of magnolia branches, and he could just about see Lan WangJi sitting alone by the window.
Nie HuaiSang spoke in a puzzled tone, "Wei-Xiong, why are you looking at him? Don't tell me you are going to go in and spend the moon with him."
Wei WuXian, "It does not sound bad, right?"
Jiang Cheng interrupted, "So, Young Master Wei is finally in love with the Second Master Lan. Is that so?"
Wei WuXian, "Not yet but the idea does sound bad."
Jiang Cheng, "Don't you dislike how he's boring and how he's not fun? You should stop teasing him and get back to your senses before it's too late. This is like pulling whiskers from a tiger's mouth—stop looking for your own death."
Wei WuXian replied, "How could this be looking for my own death?! It's not a sin to like your husband!"
"Exactly!"Nie Huisang said.
"It's not a sin to like your husband. But your husband is a Lan. For how long do you think he will tolerate you and your stupid behavior?"
Wei Wuxian clicked his tongue not wanting to think of Jiang Cheng's words. He believed in Lan Wangji and his feelings. Lan Wangji would not wrong him!
Wei Wuxian glanced one last time at Lan Wangji and then he turned around to leave.
They only returned to the Cloud Recesses when the time almost reached noon. Lan WangJi sat before the desk, organizing the stack of paper which he wrote on, as heard a creaking noise coming from the window. He looked up to see someone hop inside.
Wei WuXian came up by climbing the magnolia tree outside of the Library Pavilion. His face was beaming, "Lan Zhan, I'm back! Did you miss me? Huh? Is it boring without me, Lan Zhan?"
Lan WangJi seemed like an old monk in a state of meditation, seeing everything as nothing. He was organizing the pile of books with a numb expression and upon seeing Wei Wuxian, he smiled at him.
"Wei Ying,"
Wei Wuxian said, "I know, even if you don't say it, I know that you definitely missed me. Or else, earlier on, why did you look at me through the window?"
Lan WangJi immediately shot him a glance, his eyes filled with embarrassment on being caught. Wei WuXian sat atop the windowsill, "Aiyaa, Lan Zhan, you don't have to be shy. What are you being shy for?"
Lan Wangji tried to mask his embarrassme t and said, "Get down."
Wei WuXian, "If I don't get down, will you carry me down?"
Looking at Lan WangJi's face, Wei WuXian suspected that if he spoke one more sentence, Lan WangJi would really abandon the small amount of self-restraint he had left and nail him onto the window at once.
Wanting to tease Lan Wangji more, Wei Wuxian said, "Lan Zhan, seems like, your mind is full of dirty thoughts. Who would have thought that the well known Lan Wangji, Second Master Lan could be so pervert minded that he cannot restraint himself in the day light."
"Wei Ying!"
"Alright, alright. Calm down. Lemme get down first."
He hoped down the window and came up to Lan Wangji.
"Er gege, Don't be so scary! I'm here to apologize for that day by giving you a present."
"What day?"
"That day when we went to Caiyi Town. I hurt you then. So here is an apology gift."
"No need for any gifts. I forgave Wei Ying already."
Wei WuXian, "Are you sure?" Seeing that a guarded look leaked from Lan WangJi's eyes, he fished out two rabbits from his arms, as if he was performing a magic trick. As he held onto them by their ears, it seemed like he was holding two round, chubby snowballs. The snowballs even kicked their legs around. He lifted them in front of Lan WangJi's eyes, "It's actually quite strange here. There aren't any pheasants, but there are lots of wild rabbits. They aren't even scared of people. What do you think? Aren't they fat? Do you want them?"
Lan WangJi stared at him, parting his lips and in astonishment.
Wei WuXian, "Fine. If you don't want them, I'm gonna give them to other people. We aren't having much flavors in our mouths, anyways."
After he heard the last sentence, Lan WangJi spoke, "Stop."
Wei WuXian extended his arms, "I'm not going anywhere."
Lan WangJi, "Who are you giving them to? Wei Ying brought if for me."
Wei WuXian answered, "I'm gonna give them to whoever's good at roasting rabbit meat."
Lan WangJi, "Killing is forbidden in the Cloud Recesses. It is the third rule on the Wall of Rules."
Wei WuXian, "Fine, then. I'll go down the mountain, kill it outside, and then bring it back to roast it. You don't want it, anyway, so why do you care so much about it?"
"..." Lan WangJi spoke one word at a time, "Give. It. To. Me."
Wei WuXian grinned, "Now you want it? Look at you—you're always like this."
Both of these rabbits were chubby and round, appearing to two balls made of fluffy snowflakes. One had bleary eyes, and lay on its stomach, remaining motionless even after a long while. As it chewed on the lettuce, its pink mouth moved in a leisurely manner. The other one seemed as if it was actually a cricket, constantly hopping up and down. It played around with its companion, wriggling and leaping nonstop. Wei WuXian tossed over a few pieces of lettuce which he took out of nowhere. He suddenly called, "Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan!"
The energetic rabbit had stepped on Lan WangJi's inkstone and left a line of black footsteps on the desk. Lan WangJi was unsure of what to do, holding a piece of paper and considering different ways to wipe it off. He didn't want to pay Wei WuXian any attention, but hearing the exaggerated tone, he thought that there might be an issue, "What?"
Wei WuXian, "Look at how one is on top of the other... Are they...?"
Lan WangJi, "Both of these are male!"
Wei WuXian, "Male? Oh, seriously?" He lifted them by the ears, examined them, and confirmed, "They really are male."
Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji's reddened ears and couldn't help but tease him more.
Slowly he inched closer to Lan Wangji who stared at him in confusion. "Lan Zhan, I just told that they were on top of each other. But you already..."
Wei Wuxian sat by Lan Zhan, eyeing him. "Lan Wangji," he said, trailing a finger over Lan Wangji's cheekbones, "Aren't you a little too much..."
"Wei Ying!"
