Lan Jingyi watched as Lan Sizhui gave Jin Ling food, smiling brightly. He said something and, as expected, Jin Ling's face went red and he frowned as he looked away, blushing furiously. And, as expected, Lan Sizhui chuckled.

Lan Jingyi's brows raised. "Young master Lan?" Wen Ning, who saw Lan Jingyi sitting alone, called. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Lan Jingyi turned. "What do you mean 'what's wrong', ghost general?" he asked. He knew he's the only one the ghost general calls 'young master Lan' aside from Lan Wangji. Lan Sizhui is called 'A-Yuan', while Lan Xichen is called 'sect master Lan' by the ghost general.

"I saw young master Lan is deep in thoughts." Wen Ning answered. "Is something bothering young master Lan?" he asked.

Lan Jingyi didn't answer. He looked at Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling again, then turned to Wen Ning. "Well... you've come at a right time. I had something I wanted to ask, but can't. I wanted to ask senior Wei, yet he's busy being a wife to Hanguang-jun, so..." he said and looked at Wen Ning.

Wen Ning nodded. "I will answer according to how young master Wei answers." He said and sat on the ground when Lan Jingyi patted the ground next to him.

Thus, one youth dressed in snow-white clothes while one walking corpse clad in ragged black clothes seated side by side. "I wanted to ask..." Lan Jingyi said after a while. "Well, how to say this... I think I'm the only one who doesn't have a 'pair'." He said.

"'pair'?" Wen Ning asked.

Lan Jingyi nodded. "Hanguang-jun has senior Wei." He said. Hearing his answer, Wen Ning understood. "Zewu-jun has sect leader Jiang – " Lan Jingyi added.

This, Wen Ning somehow has to cut him off. "Uhm, sect leader Lan and young master Jiang hasn't that kind of..." he didn't continue.

Lan Jingyi looked at him. "Well..." he just said, then continued. "Sizhui has Jin Ling." He finished.

Wen Ning looked at Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling, only to agree to Lan Jingyi's words. "So young master Lan's problem is..." he said and looked at Lan Jingyi.

"I don't have a 'pair'." Lan Jingyi sighed. "I am always the third wheel... I have no one to talk to." He said and pouted, resting his chin on his palm while his elbow on his lap.

"How about young master Ouyang?" Wen Ning asked, referring to Ouyang Zizhen.

"Zizhen has his father reining him. I can't always pull him out to accompany me." Lan Jingyi said.

"Then..." Wen Ning said. Aside from Lan Sizhui – but he already has Jin Ling, there's no... one – "How about me?" he asked and looked at him.

Lan Jingyi looked at him. "The ghost general...?" he said, then realized it. "That's right!" he said. "I still have the ghost general! And the ghost general at that! Hahaha – ah. The sentence doesn't make sense – " he said and laughed.

Wen Ning looked at him. He wanted to share the youth's happiness yet he can't even smile and so he nodded his head. "Young master Lan can talk to me anytime." He told him.

"Yes, ah..." Lan Jingyi said and grinned. He made a V-sign with his fingers. "I still have the ghost general." He said and smiled brightly, his hands on his hips. "Thank you!" he told him.

Wen Ning stared at him, then nodded. For some reason he felt something hitting against his chest inside – though it is impossible. For the heart to beat, it's impossible for him. "Yes." He answered and bowed.

Lan Jingyi smiled. "Jingyi! Uncle Ning!" Lan Sizhui called them.

Lan Jingyi turned. "Right there!" he said and ran towards them.

Wen Ning watched as Lan Jingyi ran and joined Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling. Afterwards and he followed. "What happened to you? You're grinning stupidly." Jin Ling told him.

But, Lan Jingyi's smile widened. "No..." he said. "I just suddenly thought it would be great if the ghost general is still alive." He said.

"Why?" Jin Ling asked. Lan Sizhui fell silent.

Lan Jingyi smiled. "Because – " he said. " – he'll be my favourite senior!" he answered and grinned.

Jin Ling frowned. Meanwhile, Lan Sizhui smiled. "Uncle Ning is the kindest uncle." He said and looked at Wen Ning following behind them. "But, Jingyi. Even if uncle Ning's not a cultivator anymore... he could still be your favourite friend, right?" he asked.

"Ah – " Lan Jingyi said, then laughed. "You're right!" he said.

Jin Ling frowned. "Weirdo." He told him.

Lan Jingyi just laughed, holding his stomach while Lan Sizhui chuckled. The sound of the youth's laugh is music to the silent corpse following behind then. So warm... he thought, feeling his cold body suddenly somewhat became alight.

He smiled.
