In case they ran into any cultivators searching the area if they walked on main paths, the two of them only chose remote, countryside paths on their journey. A day later, Wei WuXian felt somewhat tired and thirsty. As they happened to see a farmhouse by the side of the road, Lan WangJi halted Lil’ Apple.
After they had knocked, nobody answered. When they pushed, the door opened on its own. A handmade wooden table was in the center of the yard, and a bowl of beans that hadn’t been entirely peeled was on the table. A tall mountain of straws stood by the dirt wall, a rake sticking out of it. All over the ground, chicks chirped as they picked at the rice, running around.
"Since no one's there, why did you enter?" asked MianMian.
"Why do you think?" asked Wei Wuxian.
"You shouldn't enter without the permission of an owner." said Lan Qiren.
"We can talk about it to the owner whenever we saw them." said Wei Wuxian.
"Besides, we won't destroy their home." Wei Wuxian added.
"Still." said Lan Qiren.
"It's not a big problem. Lets move on." said Wei Wuxian with a grin.
Wei WuXian saw a few melons piled up in a corner of the yard. He walked over and picked one of them up, proposing in all seriousness, “The owner isn’t here. HanGuang-Jun, let’s suit ourselves.”
"That's not how it works, a-xian." said Jiang Yanli.
"Yeah, that's stealing." said Jin Zixuan.
"That's pretty normal." said Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli looked at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Don't tell me that you did something like that except on stealing foods from stalls of Yunmeng." said Jiang Yanli.
"Well." said Jiang Cheng and looked at Wei Wuxian.
"Way to get naked, ChengCheng." said Wei Wuxian.
Just as Lan WangJi was about to put coins onto the table, the sound of footsteps came from outside of the wall. One in front and one behind, they were probably the owners who had just come home. Wei WuXian didn’t know why, but as he heard the footsteps, he quickly pushed Lan WangJi down, behind the stack of straws.
Fortunately, Lan WangJi had always been calm and collected that he didn’t make a single noise even after having been pushed down. Despite this, he clearly didn’t understand why they had to hide. Wei WuXian also realized, Right, why are we hiding? These villagers from the countryside can’t possibly recognize us. Can’t we just be honest and say that we’re here to buy food? Maybe I’ve done too many bad things and got used to it.
"You two looks like robbers." laughed Nie Huaisang.
"It's truly is a wonder why you two have to hide especially when it's Lan Wangji. He will never steal in his life." said Jin Zixuan.
"Wrong." said Jin Ling.
"As we all know, Hanguang-jun can do everything and stealing is part of it." he added.
"That's because a gremlin tainted him." Lan Qiren grumbled.
"I didn't!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed.
"Wangji is a kind man." said Lan Qiren.
"Zu-shufu, Lan-shushu will do everything even if Wei-jiujiu wouldn't tell him to. He's already tainted even before they get married." said Jingyi.
"He isn't that kind." he added.
