WEI YING'S POV

Hey isn't that Lan Wangji? Oh yes, this might be my lucky day, I should go and sit with him, it's time to see if he's as cold as they all say.

-Hey, can I sit here? I am Wei Wu Xian by the way, you are Lan Wangji, right? It's a pleasure to finally meet you- Now I'm siting next to him, I turn as I continue talking to him and guess what, he's not even looking at me. Maybe he's even colder than the rumors say.

The teacher comes in and the class starts, I really love science specially when we have to do crazy experiments. Since I was a kid, I've been curious about how my surroundings work and how I can make them better, with science everything is way more interesting. But even if it's my favorite class, I still hate homework like every normal student, the science teacher left us a whole individual investigation for Monday. I thought that teachers were going to be good people for once and wouldn't leave homework, I mean is Friday and first day of school.

Finally the day ends and I go to the library to do some research for my science investigation, I know a lot of you might think, why would he go to the library instead of using internet? And yes, using internet is the most reasonable thing for an investigation, but that old lady always says that using "technology" to do our job will make us lazy people. So we always have to read thousands of books and write the whole work by hand, which in my perspective is a total waste of my precious time.

When I enter the library he is there again, maybe it's true that you only see some people once you are interested in them. I swear in my years of high school I've only seen Lan Wangji few times, but now that I want to talk to him, he is in one of my classes and now also in the library. I was going to talk to him but then I realized he looks so concentrated, so immersed in the lecture and so handsome. Wow, he really looks nice when he is not frowning like a grumpy 70-year-old man, he seems relaxed and in peace, his yellow eyes keep scanning the book and his lips don't look tighten up as always. I sigh delighted by the look I have at this moment, and oh shit he looks at me.

Okay Wei Ying calm down and act like nothing happened just now, it's not like you were stalking him, right?

-Hi, are you here to do the science homework too? - I say sitting in front of him with a nervous laugh , he just follows my movements and gets back to his lecture.

After some time of reading I'm really bored, stupid Jiang Cheng he didn't came to help me, huh instead he went to a party with Huaisang, so unfair. Why did I chose advanced classes? Am I stupid? I should be having fun with my friends right now, but I have to do this boring investigation in company of someone who doesn't even pay a little attention.

-Lan Wangji... Wangji-xiong... Er-Gege...- he didn't even flinch, fine you want to do things difficult, so be it...- LAN ZHAN! – I shout, everyone turns to look at me, including my objective. I give him a sassy smile that says I won, he seems a little bit angry.

-Wei Ying, sit, now- he whispers with a severe deep voice

-Hey you called me by my birth name, that's not polite we are just classmates, but oh wait I called you first by your birth name, well then that makes us closer if you don't mind I'll keep calling you Lan Zhan, you can call me Wei Ying as well- incredibly he doesn't reject me, but keeps ignoring me.

Seriously this man is incredible, I tried everything to get his attention but nothing worked. I finished my investigation, I look at my phone it's almost 7, since A-Li and A-Cheng are in a party and my dad gets off work at 7:30, only my mom is at home. Maybe I should stay here in the library, the relationship between my adoptive mom and me isn't the best so I don't like to be alone with her in the house. I turn to look at Lan Zhan, he still looks concentrated, with that white shirt he looks ethereal, I can't help but smile as I grab a piece of paper and start to draw him.

When I finish the drawing I slide it to him, it's a really great drawing after all, not trying to sound presumptuous but I'm a man of many talents. He looks at the drawing and then at me, he sighs and says "boring", all my efforts to draw him beautifully and he just says boring. I take the draw away from him and add a little flower over his ear, it makes the drawing ten times better. I give it back to him.

-Please don't say boring, if you say that again I'm going to die, could you just add something or change that word?

-Extremely boring

-Huh unbelievable you actually added a word, I thought you weren't going to fulfill my request- I give him a bright smile, he looks surprised with my reaction- oh, it's already seven thirty, I should get going, bye Lan Zhan see you on Monday.

LAN ZHAN'S POV

I look at my clock, he's right it's pretty late and I did almost no progress in my research, but who can blame me. He looked so cute when he was studying and he kept humming a song with his beautiful voice, I wasn't able to concentrate at all. I look at the drawing he gave me, actually it's pretty well made, it has a heavenly air, the strokes are smooth yet firm. It might be my new treasure. See you on Monday, Wei Ying.
