A wonderful beginning (On Hold)

How it all began?

Lan xichen had been here more often than before but never got enough courage to knock. It wasn't because Lan zhan wasn't home but what he wanted to talk to his wife, alone. He mustered up all the courage and knocked on the door of jingshi. Wei wuxian opened the door and greeted him.

Wei wuxian smiled brightly at him,"Zewu-jun, Lan zhan hasn't been back yet"

Lan xichen tried not to look at him as he said,"I have something to talk to you only"

Wei wuxian now understood the seriousness of the matter,"Come in, we can talk over some tea"

After an hour of talking Wei wuxian understood the situation completely and he was more than happy to help.

Wei wuxian,"I'm glad that you talked about it to me. I promise to help you with that. Actually let me just do it right now" he grabbed a paper and brush as he started scribbling on it. Once he was done, he rolled up the paper and handed it to Lan xichen.

Wei wuxian,"Here, send it to lotus pier for me"

Lan xichen nodded in agreement and left the house after exchanging goodbyes.

Later that evening in lotus pier:

A disciple came running to Jiang Cheng with a letter in his hand,"Clan leader Cheng, a letter arrived for you"

Jiang cheng took the letter and read it. It was from his troublemaker brother Wei wuxian, saying he'll be visiting lotus pier the day after tomorrow along with his husband and Lan xichen. He never sent a letter to announce his visit before, but Jiang Cheng appreciated to be informed prior to the disaster.

Jiang cheng ordered some of disciples to prepare Wei wuxian's room for him and his husband and a guest room for Lan xichen. He also needed to inform his disciples to prevent going towards Wei wuxian's room while he's staying here because he didn't wanted them to witness his shamelessness.

If Wei wuxian was shameless, his husband was worse. In the eyes of others, Lan zhan was the modest cultivator but Jiang Cheng knew best after witnessing the couple in inappropriate situation he'd rather avoid. Afterall Lan zhan was whipped for Wei wuxian.

Wei wuxian, Lan zhan and Lan xichen arrived in lotus pier at the said time Wei wuxian had informed Jiang cheng about. Jiang cheng greeted everyone at the gate and welcomed them inside. As always, Wei wuxian was clinging on to Lan zhan which was usual. Although the usual was Lan xichen, he appeared to be normal from outside but the way he was looking at Jiang cheng was giving him chills, he couldn't understand if it was good or not.

After everyone was done with the dinner, the twin jade of lan left for a walk while the Jiang siblings stayed in the dining room. Both took a sip of their drink without saying anything.

Jiang cheng decided to break the silence,"So what's the reason behind this surprise visit?"

Wei wuxian acted hurt as he answered,"Can't I just come to visit my little brother?"

Jiang cheng,"You can, but it's less likely now that you're too busy tangling with that husband of your's"

Wei wuxian,"I can arrange one for you too if you want"

Jiang cheng made a face at his statement,"Oh please, I'm okay as I am"

Wei wuxian clicked his tongue,"Your loss" after a pause he added,"By the way, would you like me to comb your hair?"

Jiang cheng looked at him like he had seen a ghost,"what did you just said? Have my ears gone bad because I think I heard you asking me to comb my hair"

Wei wuxian crossed his arms in front of his chest,"Stop being so dramatic"

Jiang cheng,"Fine, do whatever you want"

Wei wuxian clapped his hands at his little victory and left the dining room, leaving a confused Jiang cheng behind.

Later that night:

Jiang cheng was sitting in his room, reading some scrolls that were lying on the table before him. His loose hair cascading over his shoulder as he was feeling peaceful and relaxed. He had several candles and lamps lit in the room to be able to read without a problem.

He had finished half of the scrolls when he felt a hand running through his hair. His first thought was Wei wuxian as he had asked to do his hair. He didn't turn around and focused on the scroll in his hand. He soon felt a comb running down his hair.

'Ah it's Wei wuxian, I don't understand why he asked to comb my hair earlier today. I thought he wanted to spend more time with Lan Wangji. Well, whatever' Jiang cheng thought to himself.

Jiang cheng was feeling good as the comb kept running from his scalp to the tip of his hair. It was so soothing that he started feeling a bit sleepy. Almost all of his hair was untangled by the time he picked up the last scroll. He was halfway through it when he felt a tug at his hair.

Jiang cheng fumed with anger,"Wei wuxian, stop messing around. If you're going to comb my hair, do it properly" he turned around, he was dumbfounded to look at Lan xichen instead of Wei wuxian.

Lan xichen looked at him with soft eyes,"Oh, did I accidentally tug on your hair too hard?"

Jiang cheng didn't knew what to do,"Z....Ze....... Zewu-jun"

Lan xichen apologized sincerely,"I'm sorry, did it hurt?"

Lan xichen,"Ah"

He was expecting an answer not a scroll to the face. It took him a few moments to realize that Jiang Cheng threw the scroll that he was reading right in his face before running away from him.

Lan xichen called him,"Wait, sect leader Jia......." But Jiang cheng was out of the room before he finished his sentence.

Lan xichen sat there,"I didn't even get to braid his hair, even though Wei gongzi set this whole thing up for me"

Lan xichen got up and ran after him, he was able to catch up to Jiang Cheng soon. Jiang cheng was standing outside, bathing in moonlight panting heavily. Jiang cheng noticed his presence but said nothing as Lan xichen stepped closer to him.

Lan xichen put a hand on his shoulder and spoke in the softest tone he could,"Did it hurt?" He was getting impatient as the silence grew for longer than he anticipated.

Jiang cheng finally answered him,"No" after a brief pause he added,"It felt nice"

As soon as he finished his words, Jiang cheng made a run towards his room and locked the door from the inside. That night Lan xichen made a promise to himself, next time he won't let Jiang cheng run away from him.

A/N: After being told to write a separate book for this couple, here I present you one dedicated to them. Something short and sweet as the start of the book. I hope you'll enjoy it and give your love to this book as much as you've given to the other one.
