Don't Send Me Flowers

Chapter 6: Yellow Carnation

Upon walking around the land, Wei Wuxian was eagerly searching for Emperor's Smile and leaving Jiang Cheng behind when it was his idea to go out in the first place.

"Oi, Wei Ying, don't go too far, remember we still have to go back to Gusu Lan before curfew," said Jiang Cheng but he doubted Wei Wuxian heard that and just shook his head.

Wei Wuxian went from shop to shop as the shop that he usually buys the drink ran out.

Soon, he gave up, and instead, they just walked around. Jiang Cheng would ask Wei Wuxian if he was feeling fine once in a while. Wei Wuxian felt a bit annoyed but glad that his brother was worried about him, which rarely happens.

Wei Wuxian simply placed his arm around Jiang Cheng's broad shoulders and said he was just fine when Wei Wuxian knew deep inside his chest was in pain and crying for help.

He acted so well that Jiang Cheng believed his words and smiled at his dumb brother.

The Lan brothers were also walking around and talking about some serious stuff.

"So, what do you think about them coming here? Especially Young Master Wei Wuxian? Is he doing fine?" Lan Xichen asked his younger brother with the usual smile on his face.

Lan Wangji, as usual, with his poker face, answered, "I don't mind them being here but he is just too shameless. I guess he is feeling better, but only when Young Master Jiang Cheng is around".

Lan Xichen had a slight idea that his younger brother got jealous of Jiang Cheng. 

While the Lan brothers were strolling around, Wei Wuxian spot two tall cultivators wearing mourning clothing. He walked closer to see it was Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen.

Wei Wuxian thought of the idea of jumping on Lan Wangji to surprise him.

Jiang Cheng already lost his brother and searching for him.

Just when Wei Wuxian was about to run up to Lan Wangji, he heard his name being called by one of them.

The Lan brothers went to an area that is not so crowded with people.

"Wei Ying, he is unruly, playful, doesn't attend to lesson. I sometimes, wonder how Jiang Cheng can take care of such a person," said Lan Wangji. Just before his brother was about to say something, Lan Wangji continued.

"But he is thoughtful and kind. He puts others before himself," Both of Lan Xichen's eyebrows raised. To hear Lan Wangji have said more than two words in one sentence, let alone saying another sentence and complimenting another person was quite surprising. He could tell his younger brother does not disapprove of Young Master Wei Wuxian completely.

Lan Xichen wanted to know how his brother's feelings and popped up the question.

"Then, do you like him? Young Master Wei Wuxian that is." Lan Wangji's eyes widen a bit before being composed again.

Lan Wangji stopped walking and just stared at his brother. Lan Xichen faced his brother.

"Of course not," Lan Wangji knew he was lying to himself. He was already aware of what he was feeling. And Lan Wangji knew the fact that Lan Xichen could tell if Lan Wangji was lying.

"Oh really? Then why do you take care of him?" Lan Xichen asked his brother who was feeling pressured.

"It is because Brother told me to. I would rather not. Since he has Jiang Cheng to take care of him."

Lan Xichen finally knew why Lan Wangji was feeling frustrated. He was just simply jealous of Jiang Cheng, who is close to Wei Wuxian.

"Do I hate him? I do," said Lan Wangji.
