The furniture in the jingshi was extremely simplistic, without any unnecessary belongings. On the accordion partition, there was a painting of drifting clouds, floating and morphing with its fine brushwork. A guqin table lay horizontally in front of it. On top of the three-legged incense stand in the corner, a hollowed out incense burner made of white jade emitted soft, lingering smoke, filling the whole room with the chilling scent of sandalwood.
To say people were surprised would be an overstatement. There was no surprise to be felt, what else could they possibly expect from Lan Wangji?
What they did feel though, was dissapointment - his room reflected his exact personality, there was nothing surprising or unthinkable, it was exactly what they expected from Hanguang-Jun!
But then again, how could it possibly be a whole switch? Lying was forbidden in the Lan clan, he couldn't possibly fake his entire personality after all...
Lan WangJi went to see his uncle to discuss serious matters, while Wei WuXian was pushed into the room. Right after Lan WangJi left, Wei WuXian also went outside. He strolled around the Cloud Recesses, and found that, as he had expected, without the jade token for passage, even if he climbed up the white walls of a few zhangs' height, he would be immediately flung off by the barrier, attracting the attentions of the nearby patrolmen at once.
Seeing Wuxian attempt to escape only to be hurled back in made the room burst into laughter. He really was one of a kind - even knowing the consequences he still tried!
Wanyin sighed at his brother, "acts before thinking.." he spoke and the two boys next to him burts out into laughter.
Sandu sengshou laughed similarly, no matter what the situation it was, he alway does before thinking.. the man couldn't help but glance at his brother.
Wei WuXian could only go back to the jingshi.
He never really worried about anything, no matter what he came across. He walked around the jingshi with his arms behind his back, firmly believing that, sooner or later, there would be a solution. The refreshing scent of the sandalwood was cold and clear. Although it wasn't sentimental, it had its own way of tugging one's heartstrings. With nothing to do, he started to think random thoughts, Lan Zhan happened to smell like this scent. His clothes were probably tinged with the fragrance when he was practicing his guqin or meditating here.
The patriarch took a long, deep sniff of his husband's scent, still hugging him tightly since earlier.
Wei Wuxian couldn't hold his curiousity, leaning into Lan Wangji ever-so-slightly and taking a light sniff. Only to find that the older boy really did smell like sandalwood!
After these thoughts, he couldn't help but to shift closer to the incense stand at the corner.
Both Jiang Chengs' eyebrows twitched.
With this shift, he became aware that, beneath his foot, one piece of wood was significantly different from the other places. Wei WuXian bent down and started to knock here and there, due to curiosity. In his past life, he did a lot of digging pits, excavating graves, and finding holes in the ground. After a few moments, he turned a piece of board up.
"Wangji.." Both ZeWu-Jun and grandmaster Lan spoke looking at the younger Lan in hopes he'd tell them before they found out whatever it was.
The man didn't even look back at them.
Finding a secretive space in Lan WangJi's room was already more than enough to surprise Wei WuXian. However, after he saw what was hidden inside, he was even more surprised.
