Summary: Lan Xichen felt like there's lacking in his life. After both his sworn brothers died, he realized. He needed a partner, someone to spend the rest of his life with. He had always been with his sworn brothers, and so he didn't notice. Even if Jin Guangyao, the best candidate to be a partner, is there in front of him, yet he still didn't realize. After he lost his sworn brothers, he knew of the word 'loneliness'. However, when he finally noticed the person who had always been there but he never saw, he realized how blind he had been. He had taken for granted that person's presence. After that meeting with Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen finally knew the word 'love'. The love that he always sees on his brother and Wei Wuxian, yet never really understood. This time, when he saw Jiang Cheng standing tall among the sea of people, he realized. His long asleep heart that always wanted to help people can't help but to beat for him. The man he always thought as a stranger, he never knew he wanted to be his partner now. However, as he had said, they are strangers to each other. Even now that they are brothers-in-law because of Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian's marriage, they didn't have something common between them. Can Lan Xichen overcome this obstacle between him and Jiang Cheng? How will he obtain Jiang Cheng - this 'stranger'? (A/N: just as I finished the Name, this popped up in my brain. It's because I reread the Refuse when one reader commented and I read it along the way. But, I think this ff will be the most realistic for me XD you'll see once you read this ^_^) P.S.: sassy Jiang Cheng is back! Yep, because of the readers' request on Refuse. I just hope I won't disappoint you, though. xD) Credits to the zerochan for the fanart! https://www.zerochan.net/2434439

He decided to hide his feelings. Years later and Wei Wuxian came back. He then decided to fall in love with Wei Wuxian, since they already have a past. But, Wei Wuxian is in love with Lan Wangji. When Jin Guangyao died, Lan Xichen came to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng's feelings became torn. Will he continue loving Wei Wuxian even though the other was already taken? Or... will he give himself another chance to love Lan Xichen again, even if he might be hurt again?
