You sit in the Library of Cloud Recesses again, already have passed a lesson of using your Ruan, (I/N), and it seems like you'll be able to use it in battle! How amazing is that?..!

The door swings open once more, and you narrow your eyes, "Young master Lan," A booming voice rings in your ear. And it seems to be Jiang Cheng, "Come." You say, placing down your Ruan gently
On his back, was Wei Ying. After being flopped on the back for than ten times, he seems to have an ache, and Nie Huaisang stands beside the two others, "What is it?" You ask, fixing your sitting posture, straight. But all Jiang Cheng does is drop Wei Ying beside you, bowing before the two leaves

You raise a brow, staring at the Wei who rubs his sore bottom after being dropped carelessly by the angry grape, "Ow.. Why did that angry grape have to do that!" Wei Ying complains before slowly sitting up, holding his aching back, "A-Y/N..! Why did you and Lan Zhan have to punish yourselves!" You give the other a deadpan, "You were the one who pushed us off curfew." But Wei Ying pouts, "Sure, but still!- You're a Lan, you didn't have to take the hit for me!"

"And you also took the hit," You retort, letting out a huff of your breath, "A-Ying, you're stubborn. A rule breaker." A sigh leaves your lips, hinted with frustration, "You were lucky Wangji let you off the first time you broke 3 rules."
Wei Ying awkwardly giggles, "But rules are so boring!" He exclaims, until you put a finger in front of him, "No yelling in Cloud Recesses, A-Ying." Wei Ying continues to pout, "See what I mean...!"

His constant pouting almost makes you giggle your head off, "A-Ying, sit up straight." You simply say, seeing him wince, "But I can't! My back is so sore!!" He complains, getting a sigh in return, "A-Ying," You start, standing up and putting away the book you were reading, then grabbing your Ruan, "Tonight, there's a small waterfall where you can heal in just a few hours, hmm... Has Xichen-ge told you already?"

Wei Ying blinks, "Hey, how did you know?" "Just a guess, but now I see the truth. He has," You're about to walk off, but a hand tugs at the fabric of your robes, "Hey! You know I can't walk, carry me!" Now what can you do, leave this boy crying loudly in the library and get in trouble, or drag him around back to where his friends are?

"Fine, you're lucky I'm being nice." You lean down, feeling the man get up on your back eagerly. With your effort, you stand up with Wei Ying on your back

The cold, crystal clear water glows underneath the moonlight. You place your folded clothes down at the side, and you slowly step in. You shiver a little from the absolutely coldness of the water, but you immediately get used to it, "A-Zhan, you can turn around now." You say with nonchalance, but the male doesn't budge an inch. And you don't know if it's out of embarrassment or if he just doesn't trust you. Seriously, you've bathed in this water with him multiple times! How shy can he be?

You shrug, dipping your hair in the water, your (H/C) locks flowing in the water, then becoming thin like noodle strands. But just in a few minutes, you hear somebody's voice. "Lan Zhan!~ Y/N!" Immediately, Lan Zhan snaps his head to the side, and water splashes, it was Wei Ying.

But Wei Ying quickly pops out and hugs himself, "It's so cold!" Lan Zhan hums, "How did you get in here?" And he gets a chuckle and grin from Wei Ying, "Zewu-Jun told me to come! And.." He turns to you, but you say nothing, "Y/N did too!~"
Wei Ying waddles in the water, closer to you and Lan Zhan, "What are you doing?" You both say together, you furrowed your eyebrows. Slumped in the water, sitting on the nearby seating

"It seems warmer over here." Wei Ying laughs, walking up closer, "It's not." Lan Zhan retorts, but the Wei ignores, "Lan Zhan, it's not fair for you to heal yourself in the Cold Spring without telling me. Even Y/N's here..!" Once Wei Ying comes closer, Lan Zhan turns around, his back facing him. While you wrap your arms around your bare torso

"I came here to cultivate. Not heal myself." Lan Zhan simply states, while Wei Ying was staring, right at his back. Looking deeply at some bruises and cuts, "Honestly, Lan Zhan, Y/N, you've really impressed me." He rubs the back of his neck, "Being as serious and stubborn as you guys were, is not something I could do.~ You're so good"

This boy.. he did something, clearly. He broke four rules, "A-Ying, you broke four rules. You drowned, and gotten punished. How can you say you're not stubborn?" You huff, and Lan Zhan looks like he's agreeing, but all Wei Ying does is pout, tapping on the other's shoulder, "Hey, Lan-Gongzi, let's be friends.~" He must think he's already your friend.. well, you guess you two are friends already...

Lan Zhan moves forward, away from Wei Ying, who pouts even more, "Don't give me the cold shoulder! There are many benefits of being friends with me!" The shorter male with the ponytail turns to you, "Even Y/N's my friend!" You stiffened, of course he had to call you out

"I can take both of you to Yunmeng, to pick lotuses, catch chickens!~ It would be fun!" Wei Ying suggests to Lan Zhan, and you. But Lan Zhan doesn't seem so interested, "I won't go." He answers back at the male, but you don't say anything. Wei Ying moves to the other side of Lan Zhan, "Stop saying "no"! Girls don't like it. I'm telling you!" He nudges Lan Zhan with his elbow. But what the hell does this topic have to do with women?

"A-Ying, what does women have to do with this?" You ask, finding the confidence and courage, you shuffle yourself closer to the two, but keep a good distance away, and hiding your body from them, "Hm.. Girls in Yunmeng are very pretty! You sure you won't come?"
You don't get his statement at all, not one bit, is it all about beauty? Physical looks? "A-Ying, you're too-"

"Silly? Stubborn?" It was like he could have read your mind. Lan Zhan shuffles away, "I'm sure." He coldly answers from the previous question Wei Ying asked him. And he pouts, puffing his pink cheeks

As you try to relax, you can hear shuffling, like clothes rustling, you turn your head around, seeing Wei Ying put on your robes, and grabbing Lan Zhan's outer robes and boots. The fuck?
"What are you doing?" Lan Zhan asks immediately, you look at Wei Ying, with the same question on your expression, "You always refuse me, and I'm not happy with it~" He turns around, in Lan Zhan's robes, and yours together, "Enjoy your bath, Lan Zhan, Y/N~"

"Wei Ying, give them back." You slightly move in the water, gritting your teeth, "Huh? What if I don't?" Wei Ying says back, chuckling, "Lan Zhan, Y/N~ you guys are really in good shape~" The robes barely even fit Wei Ying's body, due to Lan Zhan's broad body and your physical appearance on yours

Lan Zhan turns around, and you can see his ears slightly blushing, "You...!" This compliment made him go mad, unlike your praises and compliments, he's never been this flusters in his whole life! It's almost amusing, yeah, he likes him.. Definitely~ You can't deny your own general feelings for Wei Ying too, can you?

In an instant, there's growling and screaming heard, it was similar to an animal's cry, "Huh? What was that sound?" Wei Ying asks, quite surprised, "It sounded like zombies.." "Shufu brought back some fierce zombies, and asked me to lock them up in Meditating Hall." Lan Zhan explains, you furrow your eyebrows, standing up, your hair covering your chest/pecs/bosom, "How come they came out like that?"

"Neither of us has our weapons," Wei Ying's expression turns serious, "This is gonna be hard.." He starts to head to the noise, but, "Wei Wuxian..! Wait!" "What?" Lan Zhan steps out, "Give us back our clothes."
