Sect Clan Chronicles

".....and this is the dorms. Refrain from hiding or bringing liquors. Be reminded, wake-up call is 5:00 AM. Curfew is 9:00 PM and lastly Lights out at 10:00 PM." Lan Sizhui stated as he showed Cheong Myeong, Baek Cheon, and Lee Songbaek where they would be residing for this semester. "there's a cold spring nearby where you'll bathe, we often use it to heal our bodies and improve our cultivation as well." Sizhui smiled as the three settled in their new rooms looking around, it smelled like aromatic herbs, something like sandalwood, lavender, and jasmine.

Sizhui watched as they took out their stuff from their bags and started filling the dressers and cabinets. Sizhui noticed that Cheong Myeong took out a plum pink colored pin and wondered.

"Cheong Myeong?"

"Mn?"

"I noticed that you're using a green ribbon....I wonder why you don't use that plum pink pin....is it for special occasions? Since you're from Mount Hua, I expected that you match your hair dress as well....well it's just my assumptions." Sizhui said politely not sounding too prying.

That perked up Baek Cheon's attention as he looked over at Cheong Myeong. "Now that you pointed that out senior....I'm curious as well. When did you even start wearing that ribbon? Of all the other colors that can match our Mount hua uniform why green? Is it your favorite color?" He asked curiously, although rather too much.

Lee Songbaek remained silent as he looked at them. Cheong Myeong sighed and glared at Baek Cheon, "You ask too much." He averted his eyes towards Sizhui. "It's just...something I both cherished....the ribbon was given to me....while the pin...belongs to someone else....if by chance...I will get to meet them again hopefully....I can give it back." He said as he hid the headpin in a box and hid it under his pile of clothes.

"I see..."

"Senior?"

"Hm?"

"Does green suit me?"

Sizhui was caught off guard...this scene gave him deja vu. The same scene where his Fuqin tried to wear a red ribbon...when he was mourning his dead husband. It's so much alike.

Cheong Myeong was about to laugh it off and say it's a stupid question when Sizhui had cut him off.

"It looks good on you......green. It suits you so well." Sizhui said smiling. It caught Cheong Myeong off guard before looking away and scoffed before smirking. Sizhui knew....Cheong Myeong wanted to hear that but it was still unexpected.

"Thank you Senior." Cheong Myeong said as he stood up from his bed.

The four eventually made a plan to wander around the Cloud Recesses for now.

Ouyang Zizhen had just shown Yoon Jong and Jin Geumryeong around. They were currently at the back mountain of Cloud Recesses where the bunnies of Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian lived to scatter around.

"Why....are we here Senior?" Jin Geumryeong asked as he looked around while Zizhen went inside a shed and got a bucked of seeds and handed it to him. "I...umm?" Jin Geumryeong looked at him confused to say the least.

"Go and throw it by hand in different places so we can feed all of them."

"Feed??? Feed what exactly???"

As the two talked Yoon Jong felt something tugging on his robe, he looked down and saw a black rabbit. "Why hello there little one." He cooed at the rabbit although it wasn't small he still called it little. He carried it in his arms and stroke it.

"....who knew blacky would like you. He usually bites, not me tho but the Lan disciples except for Sizhui. Well technically he doesn't bite the hands of those who feeds him. It's a surprise since you haven't fed him." Zizhen said with his hand on his waist looking at Yoon Jong.

"ACK! HELP! TOO MANY!" Their attention soon moved towards Jin Geumryeong who was on the floor with food on his clothes as rabbits huddled on top of him. Zizhen immediately helped him stand up and pat the dirt away from his robes. "Why are there so many rabbits!?" Jin Geumryeong exclaimed before looking at Yoon Jong who was holding one.

"Who needs this much rabbits??? Do the Lan's eat them?" Jin Geumryeong asked looking at Zizhen. "These rabbits are pet types not meat types, there's a difference. Besides it's owned by the second young master Lan. The Clan Leader's younger brother." He explained carrying a white rabbit stroking it's fur.

Yoon Jong then looked at all the rabbits and noticed something. "Everyone here is white....and owned by the second young master Lan. Then what about blacky?" He asked confused.

"Blacky is owned by.....my teacher." Zizhen rubbed the back of his head and chuckled. Jin Geumryeong and Yoon Jong looked at Zizhen curiously. "You mean the Sect leader of Yiling Wei?" Zizhen nodded. Both were curious but didn't ask further.

"But why isn't there other more black rabbits like Blacky? Wait...is Blacky even a guy?"

"He is."

"Then...doesn't he mate with female rabbits? They said rabbits are active with mating with other rabbits." Jin Geumryeong said crossing his arms.

"Well... Blacky is a different case you see--"

"How so?"

Blacky suddenly jumped out of Yoon Jong's arms as it ran towards a really pristine white rabbit. The whitest among all the white rabbits, it's size was a bit big as well.

"Wait.... who's that rabbit? It's so big and so white." Yoon Jong said looking at the two who are touching each other's noses.

"That's Whitey....and well--"

Zizhen was cut off when Whitey mounted Blackey and started mating with him. Zizhen sighed as Yoon Jong and Jin Geumryeong looked at the two rabbits as if they're scarred for life.

"--he is Blackey's husband." The two young disciples whipped their head at Zizhen. "HUSBAND!? THEY'RE BOTH GUYS!?" Zizhen sighed and nodded.

After mating they went back to their cave. "I didn't know male rabbits like to mate with the same gender....." Yoon Jong said in disbelief. Jin Geumryeong groaned,"tell me about it...."

Zizhen chuckled awkwardly.
