Refuse

(A/N: was supposed to write this at the end of the Unknown XiYao fic, but I’m afraid XiYao fans would’ve pull my hair so… I made this separately XDXDXD)

Gusu – Cloud Recesses.

Lan Qiren’s forehead knotted and his eyes narrowed when he saw a long strip of white fabric flying in the air. Is that… no. It couldn’t be… he thought as he took a deep breath to calm himself. Their clan’s rule is deeply imprinted in each of them – Lan clan’s mind. Whoever did that joke of letting their forehead ribbon fly like a kite… they’re out of their mind and will be severely punished!

At the entrance of the Cloud Recesses, three people immediately noticed the flying strip of white fabric. Lan Wangji knew that it was their clan’s forehead ribbon. He was about to fly to take it when he stopped. Whoever touched someone’s forehead ribbon will be the forehead ribbon’s owner’s other half. “Huh?” Wei Wuxian said when he noticed the flying white fabric. “Lan Zhan, that’s…” he said. He noticed, too.

However, the third person’s forehead knotted. He didn’t notice the two’s expression and, turning his purple ring to a purple whip, the whip reached the forehead ribbon and pulled it back. “What the hell is this – “ Jiang Cheng said as he took the snow-white fabric off the whip. “A ribbon?” he said, incredulous. He looked at Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian who are looking at the forehead ribbon, their face strange. “Here.” He said and handed them the ribbon. “Your clan loves ribbons so much, to the point they make it fly like a kite.” He scoffed. “What?” he said when the two didn’t move and just continued to stare at the forehead ribbon in his hand. Clearly, they didn’t take it.

“I have mine.” Wei Wuxian said and pointed Lan Wangji’s forehead ribbon. “Jiang Cheng, you realize what’s that you are holding?” he asked.

Jiang Cheng, puzzled, looked at the forehead ribbon clearly. Since it was flying earlier, he just saw white. Now that he looked closer, he saw the blue drifting cloud pattern sewn on the snow white forehead ribbon. “And so?” he just said and looked at the two. “Here.” He said again, giving them the forehead ribbon. Yet, the two still didn’t take it. He started to get pissed.

“Uhm, Jiang Cheng… seems like he still doesn’t know.” Wei Wuxian whispered to Lan Wangji, yet Jiang Cheng could still hear it. A vein popped on his forehead. “Jiang Cheng.” Wei Wuxian called him. “That forehead ribbon… is of the Lan clan’s.” he said.

“I know.”

“And that forehead ribbon is very important to them – “

“Yeah, to the point Lan Wangji almost killed you in the past for pulling his forehead ribbon – “ Jiang Cheng said.

Wei Wuxian almost choked even he’s not eating something. He brushed off the comment and continued. “ – and whoever has it, even just touched it, would be the forehead ribbon’s owner’s other half.” He said and looked at Jiang Cheng’s expression in order to get back at him. As expected, after just two seconds and Jiang Cheng’s face turned green. His eyes narrowed as he glared at him. “Hey, hey! Don’t look at me like that! I’m not the one who made that rule!” he said as he backed towards his husband.

Lan Wangji immediately wrapped his arm around Wei Wuxian, protective. “Sect leader Jiang.” He called. “What Wei Ying said is true. That is our clan’s rule.” He said.

“I don’t care.” Jiang Cheng said, mad.

“But the forehead ribbon’s owner cares.” Lan Wangji said.

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng smirked. “Really?” he said. “Then why should they have to let their forehead ribbon fly? Just for fun? Then, they take your clan’s rules for fun.” He said.
