Promise - LSZ x LJY fanfic

Task

“We will dutifully execute the task and do our best to save people.” Lan Sizhui, the appointed leader of the group to be sent to the Mo Village, said and respectfully bowed before Lan Xichen – the GusuLan sect leader.

Lan Xichen kindly smiled and nodded to the junior disciples before him. Lan Qiren just stood on the side, touching his long beard. “Then you may go. Remember to ensure your safety, too. Return safely.” He told them.

“Yes, Zewujun!” they answered and immediately left.

“Aren’t the junior disciples promising, uncle?” Lan Xichen asked and looked at Lan Qiren.

“Indeed.” Lan Qiren answered, then paused. “But some lacking in aptitude.” He frowned, displeased.

It must be Jingyi. Lan Xichen thought and just smiled. He turned when he saw his young brother Lan Wangji walked towards the tree, then sat on the ground, placing the guqin on his lap. As Lan Sizhui’s adopted father, Lan Wangj had done his best to foster the child just by looking at how well and proper Lan Sizhui is.

Lan Xichen hopes the junior disciples can go back safely from their task.

Mo Village, a few hours later – night.

Lan Sizhui parried with the evil hand using his sword. He side eyed and saw his fellow disciples are on the ground. Lan Jingyi took up his sword and ran towards him to help him. Then, he suddenly heard his voice called out.

“Sizhui, watch out!” Lan Jingyi called, his eyes wide in shock when he saw the evil hand is going to claw Lan Sizhui’s body.

“Too slow!” a voice behind him said. The next thing he knew he already slammed onto Lan Sizhui. He felt something touched his back and the next second, a bright light flashed around the place. Then they fell on the ground.

The evil hand was suppressed by the protective charm sewn on their sect’s robes they are wearing.

“Whew! That was close!” the lunatic cut sleeve with a ghost makeup painted on his face said as he wiped his nonexistent sweat.

However, the two of them cannot react. One, they just had a freight from almost losing their life. Two –

Their lips are pressed on each other.

(A/N: I felt dubious during this scene on the episode 1 of the GDC donghua. The two clearly hit each other and there was this possibility, thus I wrote this!)
