MDZS Characters Watching the Future

22. Picture Book

During his stay at Gusu, he left his sword all around the place, and was never seen carrying it properly. Yet, he took it with him today, loudly slamming it onto the desk. He even went as far as to start writing without a word, contrasting his usual behavior of relentlessly harassing Lan WangJi in every way possible. He was so obedient that it was strange.

"Strange. I can feel something unexpected will happen." said Jin Zixuan.

"When it comes to Wei Wuxian, nothing is unexpected at all." said Jiang Cheng.

"Now when you found out that you married shijie in the future, you always team up with my friends to make fun of me." said Wei Wuxian glaring at Jin Zixuan.

"What I said is right that Lan-er-gongzi even said that it's strange." said Jin Zixuan.

Lan WangJi didn’t have a reason to silence him, so he took a few more glances at him, as if he didn’t believe that Wei WuXian was finally willing to behave himself. As he had expected, after a short while of sitting down, Wei WuXian repeated his past conduct again, giving Lan WangJi a piece of paper for him to see.

Lan WangJi originally thought that it was going to be a mess of lame phrases again, but after a coincidental glimpse, he was surprised to find the drawing of a person, sitting upright and reading by the window, with a vividly realistic expression on his face. It was himself.

"Lan Zhan, I drew you so beautifully!" exclaimed Wei Wuxian.

"Mn." Lan Zhan only said feeling something strange in his stomach.

"Next time we should paint together, Wei-xiong." said Nie Huaisang returning to his previous seat.

"Sure sure but, what about Jiang Cheng?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"What about me?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"You don't know how to draw so how can you enjoy with us?" asked Wei Wuxian with a pout.

"Don't worry I'll teach him." said Nie Huaisang.

Jiang Cheng just scoffed.

"I'll teach how to draw Xichen-ge beautifully." teased Nie Huaisang.

"Right, I'll help you with that." Wei Wuxian added making the man blushed so hard.

"Shut up!" yelled Jiang Cheng making his friends laugh more loudly.

Seeing that he didn’t avert his gaze at once, Wei WuXian curled his lips, and raised his eyebrow with a wink. No words were needed, since the meaning was plain to see—Does it look like you? Is it good?

Lan WangJi slowly spoke, “You have spare time, yet you scribble instead of copy the text. In my opinion, the day of your release from this punishment will never come.”

"Just Wangji saying something different from his thoughts." said Lan Xichen.

"Why? What is Lan Zhan's thinking about?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Something like 'Wei Ying draw me, it looks so beautiful. My Wei Ying is very talented'. That's what he is thinking about, Wei-daijiu." said Lan Jingyi.

"He already claimed you as his." teased Nie Huaisang making the female cultivators squealed so loud.

Wei WuXian blew on the ink which hadn’t dried yet and spoke nonchalantly, “I already finished copying, so I won’t be coming tomorrow!”

Lan WangJi’s slender fingers seemed to have paused before flipping over the next yellow-tinted page. Surprisingly, Wei WuXian wasn’t silenced. As he didn’t provoke any reaction, Wei WuXian lightly threw the drawing, “It’s yours.”
