Lan Xichen felt like shit.
He knows that he shouldn't think this kind of blasphemy, but he really feels like shit.
He wants to meet someone else other than his father, the Elders, his uncle, his brother (sorry Wangji) and everyone in Cloud Recesses.
Instead, they locked him up in his room and gave him a hundred pile of scrolls to work on. Reasons being that he is the next Sect Leader in line, so he should do half of his father's current work courtesy of the Elders. They also emphasized it was only a menial job, and he's not even taking the half of it.
Of course it's not even a half of it! Being a Sect Leader consists of going out for night hunts and surveying the land occupied around your Sect!
Which Sect Leader would be in their right mind to lock themselves in their room and do paperwork all day for the rest of their lives?!
He. Wants. To. Go. Out. And. Have. FunㅡNight. Hunt!
"Brother, may I come in?"
Lan Xichen was busy lamenting his shitty fate that he didn't heard his brother knocking. He fixed himself and sat down appropriately before permitting Wangji to enter.
"Do you need anything, Wangji?"
The younger looked at him before furrowing his eyebrows, as if he found his older brother to be pitiful.
That's right, pity your dada! Pity your dear older brother who have no choice but to be stuck here like the Elders put the mightiest glue in his bosom to make him stay still!
"...Father is sending me to Caiyi town to investigate."
Lan Xichen immediately stopped lamenting before he put on a serious face.
"Because of many fishermen missing?"
Lan Wangji nods, "En."
"So you're going near to a dangerous place?"
Jiangshuai-zun clearly told him to steer off near bodies of water for a while, because there are many sightings of Waterborne Abyss.
Well, Lan Wangji is not weak, but certainly not strong enough to face many of those monsters.
"Wangji...can I...you know..."
Lan Xichen looked at his brother sheepishly before scratching his head, making him look more pitiful.
He could see Wangji slowly become hesitant, making Lan Xichen tap his finger repeatedly in excitement.
"I...I am not sure, brother. Father's words are absolute."
Lan Xichen drooped like a kicked puppy, making the younger feel guilty.
Of course, how would his rule-abiding brother break a command directly from their father? It's the same as torturing yourself with eating a twig.
Awkward silence filled the air around them, making Lan Xichen sigh.
He knew it, just because he acts familiar with Wangji doesn't mean it changes the fact that he lost his memory, along with his past personality.
"...You can leave, Wangji. Stay safe with your investigation."
Contrary to what Lan Xichen had expected, Wangji stayed still.
Lan Xichen looked at him before he looked down to where his younger brother is looking. He immediately felt his hands going cold when he sees the paper doll standing up by itself and moving.
It even had the gall to stretch around as if it was getting used to its current body.
Jiangshuai-zun...this is not the right time to visit!
