MDZS - Be My hero

Chapter 9: A Brand new Day

*tick, tick*

*tick, tick*

Wei Wuxian was silently sitting on the floor and observing the room while waiting for Lan Wangji who went out of the room as soon as he agreed to stay the night.

Elegant white Queen size bed with no bedframe, bookshelves that has books for studying only and one novel which Wei Wuxian never seen before, a study table, and an incense burner that filled the whole room with a sandalwood fragrance. Wei Wuxian sighed and smiled, "This guy... there's almost nothing in his room. Not even a game console" He said.

"Where is he? He's taking too long and it's not even right to leave a guest alone! Where's his manners!" Wei Wuxian leaned on the bed, he listened to the sound of the clock on the wall, enjoyed the sandalwood fragrance of the room. There's nothing but boring stuff in his room, but staying there is comforting and relaxing. His eyes grow heavy, he's losing all his strength, he never experienced such weakness before nor prepared for it. He tried to resist but his body has long surrender to the invitation of the cold night. As his brain was about to resign from the day, he heard a voice, it's so close as if someone was whispering beside his ear.

"As the night gets darker and colder, let your worries fades, let it go along with the wind or maybe let me carry some of it. Sleep peacefully, knowing you've done all you can do for today. You did your best, good job." Wei Wuxian don't know whose this voice belongs to, he's not sure if it's real or maybe he's already dreaming, he heard it before somewhere, that phrase... he heard it multiple times but he cannot remember... still, it made him happy. Even if it's just a dream, to know that there is someone who knows he's been working hard, it made him happy.... At least in his dream, there is someone who acknowledges his efforts.

The sandalwood fragrance made him felt light headed, and a sweet smell woke him up. He opened his eyes and slowly, he saw a white silhouette of a man in front of him.

"Lan zhan?" Wei Wuxian called while half asleep.

"Mn" The cold yet soft voice of the man echoed in his ears, it made him form a faint smile. He stood up and shouted Lan Wangji's name to give him a fright. But, Lan Wangji didn't flinch a bit, he looked at Wei Wuxian and gestured to him to come.

Wei Wuxian sat in front of Lan Wangji, there are dishes on the table, still hot and smells good. Without holding back, Wei Wuxian dig in without further ado. He gobbled those hot and steamy buns one after another, and took a mouthful of the creamy and delicious soup. When Lan Wangji stood up and left, Wei Wuxian realized that he acted poorly. The Lan family practices a good etiquette, and Lan Wangji never failed to follows them, he knew it because Lan Wangji always nag at him for every improper actions he does at school whenever he get the chance.

Wei Wuxian stopped eating and sighed. "I should have acted more proper in front of him" he murmured.

After minutes more, Lan Wangji opened the door holding some dessert.

"Why did you stop?" Lan Wangji asked. He walked towards Wei Wuxian and sat at the same spot. He put the dessert on the table and looked at Wei Wuxian, "Eat" He said, and opened the book he was reading earlier.

"You're not eating?" Wei Wuxian asked.

Lan Wangji only shook his head without giving him a glance. Wei Wuxian smiled and started to pick the dishes and this time, he's  eating slowly. "He prepared these dishes just only for me? He woke up the maid to prepare these for me?" He can't stop grinning with the thought, he looked at the clock and realize it's almost 4am. Just how long did he sleep? But the foods are still warm... Did he make sure that it is keep reheated?

"This guy... I really can't believe him, he's such a caring person." Wei Wuxian let out a short laugh and it did not escape Lan Wangji's vision.

"Eat properly" Wei Wuxian pouted when he got scolded by him.

"Chee! So strict!" even so, he was not scolded for his action earlier, instead Lan Wangji even brought him dessert. Cornetto....he never expected that Lan Wangji is the type who would eat this, as for him he always eat this at school so he has no problem with it.

--

And finally, the sun blooms on the horizon, filling the sky with shade of orange and pink. Wei Wuxian move his fingers through the air, the place is getting brighter and warmer with each passing moment. The warm breeze hit their skin, Wei Wuxian mood also become brighter compare to yesterday.

"AH! It's morning, I think it's time to prepare for school, though I feel like not going." He sighed.

"If you don't want then there's no need.." Lan Wangji closed his book and stood up.

"Eh?? You mean... it's good to skip classes?"

Lan Wangji shook his head in correspond to Wei Wuxian's question. "Not always" He answered. Wei Wuxian also stood up as he smiles. "Sometimes is okay?" He asked with a smug face. Lan Wangji only answered with a "Mn" and before he could leave the room Wei Wuxian pulled his arm and gave him a mischievous grin.

"Then, Let's hang out for today? Hehe"

--

At school, Jiang Cheng is still waiting for Wei Wuxian to show up but not even his silhouette was seen.

"Where the hell is he? He didn't even come home last night! And there's no one to hang out with after the 2nd subject since Nie Huisang have a different major." Jiang Cheng sighed.

"Jiang Cheng! Someone's here for you!" a female classmate of them called.

"Huh? Who is it? Is it my sister?" he asked.

"No... it's..." before the girl could finish her sentence, a man spoke up behind her.

"WanYin, can we talk?" Lan Xinchen said with his usual smile.

--

Since it's lunch time, they went to a café near school to talk but Jiang Cheng has no idea what the conversation would be about.

"Order whatever you like, my treat" Lan Xichen smiled.

"Oh ok" Jiang Cheng ordered a drink and a light food. "So, what do you want to talk about?" he asked.

"Did master Wei attended any class today?" Lan Xichen did not waste time and directly asked what he came for.

"No, why?"

"Well, Wangji also did not attend his classes."

"HUH? Does that have something to do with Wei Wuxian? And Lan Wangji has been absent for almost a week now." Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"No, Wangji wasn't...."

Lan Xichen's answer made Jiang Cheng confused, what does he mean he wasn't? Lan Wangji is their classmate and it's been a week since the last time he attended school.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked.

----------------

While on the other hand, the two spent the whole day trying different things. Playing in the arcade, going to the karaoke, trying different rides in the amusement park, eating different street foods, buying and eating candy from an old candy store and all of these was a first for Lan Wangji.
