A thousand flutters of butterflies flew inside his stomach and Wei Wuxian thought he would die at any moment. Lan Zhan, His Lan Zhan. Did he save a country in his past life to get this blessing? To get this man, who adorned the dreams of every maiden in the cultivation world, as his love. To enjoy this overflowing river of love and loyalty. He must have.

"You heard about me?"

Lan WangJi's ears turned red and the color slowly spread to his neck as if a jar of claret had poured over his face, "Mm" he hummed .

You wanted to meet me?"

"Mm"

"Then why did you avoid me?" This time he didn't get a reply. Wei Wuxian was looking at that face all this time and didn't fail to notice how his eyes were not reaching his. "You made me think you hate my presence, Lan Zhan but you actually waited to meet me?"

With a small pout only visible to his eyes, Lan WangJi glanced at him through his lashes. "Wei Ying had many friends. WangJi was nervous. Wei ying always flirted with maidens"

"After all those times I tried to make friends with you?", a Chuckle escaped from Wei Wuxians lips and it reached Lan WangJi's. "One was nervous to confess and the other was oblivious to realize !! What a duo", Lan Xichen exclaimed. Only then our love birds came back to earth from their dream land.

"He never tried to get anyone's attention like he tried to get yours", Jiang Cheng commented.

At once, it was as if the ten-or-so mouths were silenced. They quietly entered the room, quietly picked their seats to sit, and quietly avoided the desks around Lan WangJi.

Jiang Cheng patted Wei WuXian's shoulder and whispered, "He's after you. Hope for the best."

"My words have never been more accurate than this ", Jing Cheng sighed out, making the others laugh. While Lan QiRen looked at his model student. Oh !! how much he wished to get the now love-sick boy back into this model Lan WangJi.

When Wei WuXian turned his head, he could see the side of Lan WangJi's face. His lashes were long, appearing to be extremely delicate and elegant. His posture was also very upright, looking straight ahead. As he was just thinking about starting a conversation with him, Lan QiRen walked into the room.

Lan QiRen was tall and thin, standing with a straight back. Although he had a long, black goatee, he was definitely not old. And, according to the tradition of the Gusu Lan Clan producing beautiful men each generation, he was definitely not bad-looking either. Yet, unfortunately, with the pedantic and stiff air that surrounded him, nothing would feel wrong if one called him an old man. He entered with a scroll in one hand. The long scroll of paper rolled all over the ground as soon as he opened it, and he started to talk about the rules of the Lan Sect. The faces of everyone in the room started to grow dark. As Wei WuXian was bored, his gaze flew everywhere, and landed on the side face of Lan WangJi. He was shocked as he saw concentration and seriousness that were nothing like a facade, "How can he listen so attentively to something so boring?"

"What you said is boring is the essence of the Lan clan", QiRen said visibly not happy about the way Wei Wuxian treated their clan rules.

"But it is boring. For the kids who grow up inside the Lan sect, it would be easy as they haven't seen and experienced the outer world but students from other sects won't find them interesting and practical", Wei Wuxian argued.

Immediately, in the front, Lan QiRen slammed the scroll onto the ground and smiled bitterly, "I am only repeating this one by one because nobody reads it, even though it was carved onto the rock wall. Hence, nobody will be able to violate them using ignorance as an excuse again. Even if I do this, there are still people who do not pay attention. Very well, I will proceed to talk about something else."
