Alright, there were things Wei Wuxian would always struggle with, among them was people's mania of blaming him for everything, but this time? Yes, it was his fault, he completely accepted it.
Who wanted to go to that town when he found out there was a festival? he
Who convinced the others to go to the festival to celebrate that the night hunt had gone well? he
Who had cried and kicked until the angelic Lan Xichen spoke and decided everything? he
Who had to start showing off his skills? he
Thus, the angry look that Lan Zhan was giving him was only his fault and no one else's, but he tried to escape by giving him a smile, which made the man look at him even more furious than before or well, his expressionless version of anger.
Well, at least Lan Xichen seemed to be having fun with his brother's ribs, so he wasn't the only evil one.
It was a small town, hosting a group of cultivators was great news and having Gusu Lan's twin jades among them only served to make the party more boisterous, with people coming from all over to see the group of cultivators. .
Quickly a group of small children ran towards them and started giving ribbons to the cultivators, tying the colored ribbons on everyone's hands and arms, even some at their feet, Wei Wuxian noticed an older child approaching Lan Zhan and he tied ribbons on his hands. and feet like his brother after many smiles and bows, it seemed curious that he was stoic and meek at that but a couple of colored ribbons weren't much of a thing, right?
As expected quickly, the village leader introduced himself, it was a small sect but it seemed to be organized enough for someone to speak for them, people dressed in orange approached them in an accusation and the man who bowed He appeared before The Lan. Kindly, or rather cordially greeted, Lan Xichen seemed to know the man and acknowledge him to the delight of him and his family, of course Xichen's thoughtfulness and generosity was shown even in those little details like remembering the name of a sect leader lost.
-We are sorry we came to bother you Mr. Kang, we finished a night hunt and the young people saw the fireworks, we did not want to disturb them- the polite and perfect bow only seemed to embarrass the man who did the same followed by everyone in his group.
-Zewu-jun! It has not caused us any problems! His presence and that of the young master has only made this celebration magnificent! Please come by and have fun, we were about to start the festivities! - He gestured for them to go with them and that was how the group began to walk, the Kang seemed to be kind and respectful people, they had greeted each of the cultivators and led them to the banquet area.
The place was an open square with many lamps and everything was arranged in a U-shape around a large area, so Wei Wuxian could say it was a great party, they had a lot of fruit and food in addition to drinks, he could see very happy people and happy to receive them, they all seemed to have different dishes with meat and sweets that they offered to each person at the table in rounds and when they arrived with their lord he gave them money and praised the skills of the cultivators and hunters.
He was very happy but at the same time there was something that bothered him and that was that next to Lan Zhan had sat Mr. Kang's eldest son, he was a boy who had a bright smile and beautiful eyes that adorned his hair with an ornament It seemed to be a simple feather adorned with a small stone, he could accept that the boy was handsome but he was very noisy, he was conversing with Lan Zhan with that high tone despite having him by his side, really annoying.
-It is the gratitude of the harvest, everyone offers something to everyone in the town to share, so everyone can try different things and maybe decide to make deals with a family and make friends, farmers do not like to hunt and those who hunt do not have time for the farms, they reach agreements like this, in the end what has not been taken is given to our orphanage, everyone must give a part for the homeless children! -His smile was truly radiant full of pearly teeth, for a moment Wei Wuxian thought that Lan Zhan would hit him for getting so close but to his surprise he did nothing, he actually seemed comfortable next to him.
-I think it is a festive full of generosity - were his short but loud words to the surprise of all those present, which made the boy's smile even bigger as he continued to describe the different dishes that were presented, recommending one or the other to Lan Zhan and he seemed to follow some of his advice.
Wei Wuxian was starting to get annoyed more and more, he had to accept that yes, the idea of a festival that would gather food for children seemed very nice and generous but that boy was getting between his ribs and he did not understand how Lan Zhan hadn't silenced him, he had used the silence spell on many for less! Why not with that boy ?!
Was it his pretty green eyes that made him stop? It did not seem reasonable to him, while the others laughed and ate the music began to play, Jiang Cheng noticed his discomfort quickly and elbowed him trying to change his face.
-Don't start causing trouble!
-Hey?? I did nothing!
-I know, but I know you, you're about to do something embarrassing, eat and stay calm!
In all his childish acting Wei Wuxian taught his brother his tongue and continued eating, the truth was that he did not have to get angry, it was not against him his anger, he looked at the two who were talking and felt left out, on a couple of occasions He tried to get into the conversation but was that boy ignoring him ?! He was getting more and more angry, he was going to throw something at him when he noticed how Lan Zhan noticed his actions and touched the boy's arm to make him look at him and it almost dried his mouth.
Lan Zhan initiating a touch with a stranger. The world was going to hell!
The surprise was such that he was speechless while the other two watched him, he had to receive another nudge from Jiang Cheng.
-Yes, yes ... ah, I think we were not introduced, I am Wei Wuxian and he is my brother, Jiang Cheng - he said with a smile, trying to recover, the boy looked at them very carefully and took a little longer but he also smiled in the end though obviously not as much as he had been smiling at Lan Zhan.
-I apologize, I am Kang Zirui, it is a pleasure that such talented cultivators like you join us, I hope it is a sign that this year will be prosperous for everyone, we are very grateful -the boy, Zirui was so polite that really Wei Wuxian wanted to be angry but did not feel value from them because he knew that his anger came from his jealousy over that apparent closeness he had with Lan Zhan.
-We are from the lotus dock, please, if you ever need help feel free to look for us- Jiang Cheng added, who seemed determined to save the conversation, Kang Zirui's eyes seemed to light up once more.
-the famous lotus pier! We have heard from him many times, we will be extremely honored by young Jiang Cheng's kind words! -Having that strong voice directed towards his face was something Wei Wuxian was really starting to hate and as always, he had to open his mouth.
-Why are you screaming so much ?! we are by your side, it is not necessary to leave us deaf! -Just after saying the last word Wei Wuxian regretted it, the boy's smile fell slowly, looking down from him and then raising his hands, smiling sadly.
-I apologize young Wei Wuxian .... I had an incident with a curse as a child and almost went completely deaf ... the merciful Zewu-Jun released me with his Liebing but the healer could not repair the rest of the damage ... to Sometimes I forget that it is only me who does not listen well ... I apologize very much ...- the boy's puppy eyes made him want to kick himself, pointing out something like that had been extremely cruel and Jiang Cheng's blow only made it known.
-I apologize for my brother, he didn't mean to offend him, young Kang, please excuse him! -the sad gesture of the boy made him do the same as Jiang Cheng who kept looking at him angrily, he tried to refuse and get them to get up to let that go but his discomfort was noted, the rest of the meal passed in silence, Kang Zirui was with His gaze lowered as he ate, Wei Wuxian didn't want to see but he was sure Lan Zhan looked at him with rejection.
-Now that he has finished the meal it is time for fun! -The strong voice of the leader Kang startled the boys who looked ahead, relieved by that interruption Wei Wuxian wondered what activities there would be, he noticed that several musicians approached with drums and began to play rhythmic and joyful music, the vibrations were sensitive all over his body and Wei Wuxian couldn't help but think of the young man sitting next to him, it was sure that he could feel and maybe hear that music, he had raised his head and seemed to cheer up, he stood up and smiled at Lan Zhan, offering him his hand to get up, which he took very lightly to stand up.
-This time I will win young Lan! -He said cheerfully giving a couple of slight jumps as if preparing, Wei Wuxian saw them confused as they went to the front, apparently there were several people who were also there, he got up but Jieng Cheng made him sit down again.
-Leave them alone! This seems like an important tradition!
-but Jieng Cheng! He just wanted to know what it was about! -the bustle seemed to attract attention and Mr. Kang laughed looking at them.
-Young masters I apologize, I was really so anxious for you to start that I forgot to explain our holiday. -I point out to those who were gathered, they all seemed to be looking at the different tapes that the others had, as if making sure - each person has four tapes like the ones given to you, the objective of the game is that when the song ends the dancer that have more tapes wins, if you run out of tapes you must take a seat and wait for the second part of the activity ... -Wei Wuxian looked at that surprised, looking at the front, the music began to play and all the young people began to dance.
-Young master Lan has been the only one who has managed to finish the game with his four tapes intact - the patriarch informed with a big smile as if admitting defeat was nothing but taking into account their way of being for them it was normal to be defeated For someone as talented as Lan Zhan and they did not resent him, Wei Wuxian really wished he had participated and his desire seemed to be evident because the man smiled at him and encouraged him - then comes the second game, there I invite you young masters, I hope make it fun for you too.
Maybe the second part of the game could be enough to appease him and well, seeing Lan Zhan dancing was an activity that he never thought he would see and now he was performing in front of him.
Like everything in Lan Zhan's life, his dance was elegant, but his eyes were attentive around him, with graceful movements he went through the crowd, preventing them from touching his ribbons and taking the ribbons from others, little by little Lan Zhan's hands were filling themselves with ribbons, forcing people to sit down, they all seemed happy, laughing and joking about who had perhaps even managed to touch young Lan's ribbons.
While fewer people were left, it was evident who was the other strongest competitor in the game: Kang Zirui had many ribbons and if his eyes did not deceive him he also kept his own, he twisted his face annoyed by it.
-If he were there he would have already removed all the ribbons of that boy- he complained, looking angrily at his glass before drinking.
-Shut up, it seems there are only the two of them left. - said Jiang Cheng who seemed to have tried to follow the game attentively, Lan Zhan and Kang Zirui kept moving around each other in a way that almost didn't seem like a dance anymore, rather it seemed like a sneak battle and that's how it looked, the two of them were trying to reach one of the other's ribbons and Wei Wuxian was really upset, Lan Zhan couldn't be beaten by that boy! If he did he would mock him endlessly, but even though Lan Zhan seemed so close to grabbing the green-eyed ribbons these whimsical ribbons seemed to move just an inch out of his fingers, in the end it was the music that stopped, The dancers stopped among the cheerleaders, being congratulated by all, the winner had to be decided by the number of ribbons and indeed, Lan Zhan had won the fight by just a few ribbons, in the end he was awarded with a beautiful arrangement of fruits that I do not hesitate to hand over to the person in charge of collecting the food for the orphanage.
-Our journey is long, they will be wasted and you will put it to good use- he said kindly and everyone nodded and cooed at the kindness and intelligence of the second jade.
-This was interesting - said Jieng Cheng who was looking at the ribbons now with curiosity, Wei Wuxian looked at him without understanding until he noticed it ... the ribbon followed Jiang Cheng's finger, he looked at his and had a stamp on it, that was not It was just a standard ribbon, therefore Lan Zhan had won more than just one game.
-that seal, this thread ...! He looked surprised at Patriarch Kang who saw them with a big smile and nodded to them, pleased that they had discovered him.
-the ribbons spun by our people are sensitive to spiritual energy, being light you do not need much to be able to manipulate them but depending on the length of these the control falters, it is a defensive method of our people, the ribbon dance -sigh smiling- our founder was an expert dancer who was stolen from her family, she was not allowed weapons but managed to escape thanks to her ribbons, she was our teacher and rests with her husband, in honor of her silent battle, her cunning and courage we celebrate this festival, what they saw was his dance and now comes the escape - the young people seemed eager to continue, they took the ribbons and tied them to make a single ribbon of four pieces while the patriarch spoke, this time out loud for everyone.
-the four ribbons represent courage, cunning, tenacity and love, Kang Liu surrendered to the enemy to save his family showing his courage, he had the cunning to carry his weapons hidden in simple ornaments, he endured tenaciously until he was sure that hers were safe and she saved herself thanks to the love that beat inside her, in honor of her gifts I ask young people to follow her example and be worthy representatives of our lady. -The story was beautiful, Wei Wuxian the truth seemed really touched, it could be a game but it had a strong background, he could understand the solemnity of Lan Zhan to agree to participate in it.
-Today we are honored by the visit of some great master cultivators and we again receive the blessing of the twin jades in our most beloved party, on behalf of our lady I extend the invitation if you want to participate in this game, the goal is very simple -I point out the field that opened in front of them was a small expanse of forest lit up by the moon and some lanterns set up for the game apparently - they must run until they reach the stream on the other side of the hill and reach it with their slats, avoiding that they steal theirs, they must arrive with the four pieces tied together, they can be tied in the arm, waist, hair or leg but must hang in the air, I warn you that there is a labyrinth spell, so do not think that it will be so simple -he warned, that made people laugh and encouraged the boys to get ready to participate.
Nie Huaisan refused to participate fearing he would be humiliated and the rest of the cultivators seemed more interested in eating or listening to the music, so it seemed that only Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian besides Lan Zhan would participate, they did not count on Lan Xichen to get up and he would approach with his ribbons tied in his hand, looking at the boys with a calm smile.
-Do your best but remember to have fun - pointed out to them, which seemed to really embarrass many, they did not expect to compete against the famous twin jades, even so many still seemed willing to play, Wei Wuxian did not care much, he just wanted one ribbon and it hung efficiently from Lan Zhan's waist.
That was smart, with the amount of fabric on his clothes catching the ribbon would be difficult, in case reaching it did not seem like an easy task.
-Remember guys, don't fool too much, the spirits of the forest like to joke -the patriarch warned but before they could ask the drum that marked the exit sounded and everyone started to run, Wei Wuxian had two very clear objectives: to take the ribbon Lan Zhan and preventing young Kang from taking it, he had the upper hand! He knew Lan Zhan and his possible moves so it would be easy for him.
Or maybe not so much.
When entering the forest the place was illuminated, yes, but much bigger and deeper, I knew it was an illusion but I had to keep running, I looked around and although about 20 people or more had entered, I did not see or hear Nobody, it was a very good illusion, he walked quickly trying not to stumble while he went from one side to another, observing the place he decided he needed a better perspective and climbed a tree to see better, he found it curious, he hoped that people would go running all against all but instead he could see some who were going from one side to the other.
They went in pairs almost always, they were rarely more, the couples laughed and ran playfully, when one hunted the other ... they kissed him, then they pushed each other and kept running.
-Look ... that ...- he murmured feeling the color rise on his face, under the tree when he noticed a couple who had started doing something more than just kisses- shameless ... what kind of game is it this ...
-one of matchmakers. -Kang Zirui's loud voice made him scream in turn from fright, he looked at him as he was standing calmly several steps away from him, he did not seem willing to touch his ribbon or worse.
-Tell me you're not coming for my ribbon, young Kang - he said, feeling the blush rise once more, the boy laughed and denied several times, both with his head and hands.
-Our lady was courted by her husband with her ribbons, playing in these hills, she did the labyrinth spell and the spirits of the forest reinforced it, they are playful and mischievous, they are happy to see love, it is said that if you can take a kiss of a person and their ribbons in this forest the spirits of the forest will bless their marriage -the young Kang spoke in a normal tone, perhaps he thought he was whispering, the laughter began once more between them, the pain of his first words had erased, although he did not like something about that story.
-If you didn't come for my ribbon it means that ... -I look at his clothes ... white ... like those of ...- you thought I was Lan Zhan! - he pointed out alarmed and could see how the boy blushed totally, he did not answer, it was not necessary.
-You know ... what the Lan band means? He asked on the spot, he remembered Lan Zhan and his seriousness regarding his band and he nodded, the boy looked at him still blushing but with a determined expression. - means Young Master Lan has two ribbons! So I'll take two kisses from him! -said that smiled at Wei Wuxian and pushed him, although it had not been strong the intention was evident -sorry young master! -He yelled before running away, Wei Wuxian was so surprised that he only saw him run but he quickly recovered to run after him.
Or well, he would have done it if it were not for the pull he had on his foot that made him fall, confused he looked down and saw a vine that had appeared out of nowhere, tying his foot, he began to pull it, struggling to get loose when he saw it Apparently Kang Zirui had made a small makeshift altar with some candies to ask the forest spirits for a favor.
-You little cheater! Cheat!! -He shouted indignantly, he managed to free himself and run but while he was doing so he could hear laughter and saw petals fall, surprised he looked around, all over the place colored petals and leaves were falling, he smiled a little and kept running, he had to concentrate, surely it would be able to find Lan Zhan before that boy and while running he couldn't help passing near a scene that made him turn back silently, covering his mouth with his eyes almost popping out.
Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen ?! they were kissing !! and they were putting a lot of desire on it although he had to hold his laugh, he could see how the hand of the first jade caressed Cheng's hip ... but his other hand worked on the ribbon on his ribbon and untied it before running between laughs, leaving Jiang Cheng with a gasp, his lips red from the kiss and his face totally flushed, it looked like he was going to go look for him but suddenly the man ... seemed to have disappeared, he laughed a little and started to jog to do noise, approaching his brother making noise as if he came running.
-A-Cheng! A-Cheng! What a horror ... this forest is huge ... and that brat from Zirui is a cheater! him catch me with a weed! ... A-Cheng? ..- the other looked at him as if he feared the worst but seemed to calm down as he spoke, perhaps thinking that he hadn't seen anything, so he couldn't help but annoy him- A-cheng, you are red and with swollen lips ... ah! Your ribbons! Did they catch you already ??
-no!! idiot ... I ... I ... lost them ... I did not tie them well ...- Jiang Cheng was terrible at lying, Wei Wuxian could tell that he was trying to explain himself.
-and your lips?
-I fell, head-on and in the fall I lost the ribbons ... -he laughed and patted him on the shoulder looking at him, it was really fun to make fun of him.
-You can tell that you fell, your clothes are unkempt.- He gave him a couple more blows on the shoulder in a playful way.
-shut! Better get out of here! -He rebuked trying to impose himself, Wei Wuxian laughed more and turned away from him to continue on his way but decided to be good to his brother.
-you know? The rule says that you must leave the forest with your ribbon, so if you recovered it, it would count as if it was not stolen, right? -I walk taking long steps, having fun - also ... someone told me that the Lan were at a disadvantage because they have two tapes ... so you can steal them twice, right? -He ran out before his brother threw something at him, but he heard his indignant stutter, he hoped that he understood his words, they were sensitive topics he could not speak directly.
- "I hope this time if you are lucky A-Cheng!" -He laughed and continued his own search, he had to be careful, he had lost time and was afraid that the Kang boy had found Lan Zhan since he had the favor of the forest spirits.
-that's not fair! I saw it first! Working with spirits is unfair - he complained aloud and he could see a flower opening on a branch, he observed how it unfolded gracefully and he smiled to approach her carefully, climbing the branch to be able to speak to her.
-Will you help me find my love? If that boy cheated then I can too ... I promise to give you some really good candies ...! -Wei Wuxian searched among his clothes and took out some candies that he had brought since his departure from the lotus dock and smiled when the flower seemed to move to see those candies, then it opened completely and began to defoliate, for a moment he feared that he had offended them but then it him notice.
The petals began to fall orderly from the flower but floated in the air and began to move playfully, as if prompted to follow them and decided to trust and go.
He began to run behind the petals smiling, little by little it seemed that he was coming out of the forest but he did not see the stream that they had mentioned, he was in a clearing in the forest, he observed that and how the petals moved, falling to the ground and joining in a single flower again, carefully picking it up and looking at it, sighing a little.
-Cheats .... and my love where is ...-he complained pouting when he suddenly appeared, making a elegant jump backwards, Lan Zhan appeared in the clearing, confused, on guard, looking around, then he saw who else was there. .
-Wei Ying -He greeted looking at him, it was nothing subtle, he looked from head to toe at Wei Wuxian and when he finished his examination he sighed, standing upright, Wei Wuxian did not wait and approached him, obviously his gaze went to his belt, where he rested colored ribbon, that also drew a sigh of relief from himself and he smiled, he was sure it was the same as the second jade had felt.
-Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan! How good that you are here! I've been looking for you everywhere! -He had chosen the wrong words because Lan Zhan was on guard, he could notice how his body became tense, ready to flee, that made him pout- Lan Zhaaaan! Do not be bad! Would you rather stay here alone? ... or is it that ... would you rather have someone else from the company?- He sounded a bit more irritated than he wanted to sound but he couldn't help it! Thinking of that brat near Lan Zhan put it like this!
-No- was the other's sure answer but even so when he took a step Lan Zhan took one step back, putting distance.
-Why are you moving away? ... wait..when you arrived you were running away -I look at the other, he seemed to have run a bit, his hair was slightly tousled and although his headband and it were in place the latter seemed slightly twisted, that did boil his guts with jealousy. -That .... that brat touched your headband ?! How make him think he have the right !? -He wanted to go hit him but he didn't want to get away from Lan Zhan either, he would lose sight of him.
-no, him try to snatch it using his art -that made Wei Wuxian think ... technically it was not a touch ... it was to give some energy to a cloth garment so that it was manipulable, even so he was still annoying.
-He is a cheeky and a cheater, he manipulated the forest spirits to help him and tied myself with a herb to have an advantage ..- he complained looking at Lan Zhan and he did not seem annoyed, he just stared at Wei Wuxian, putting him a little nervous.
-him take your ribbon? -Lan Zhan's stern tone made him blink, denying several times, but it reminded him of the point of the conversation.
-He is not interested in another ribbon than yours Lan Zhan, so I imagine you were running away from him ...- he crossed his arms annoyed, kicking a non-existent stone.
-mmn -the confirmation did not help his bad mood at all, if he saw that brat again he would strangle him with his ridiculous ribbons! -but my ribbons belong to Wei Ying ... if he wants them ...
Suddenly Wei Wuxian felt that the world became silent, he could only hear something and that was his heart, beating hard, he looked at Lan Zhan, his beautiful Lan Zhan, shining in the moonlight, with his reddened ears, embarrassed, saying things that could only silence the universe with that soft voice.
-Lan Zhan .... Lan Zhan! Don't say that if you don't want to! -He said feeling ashamed at the same time, the nerves invaded him totally.
-I wanted to say what I said ... -Wei Wuxian wanted to hug that man and kiss him until he forgot his name but when he tried to get closer he backed off again -... but I won't give my ribbons easy.
Laughter bubbled up in his chest at the adorable challenge, he looked at Lan Zhan and as they began to turn around him he thought well how he should act.
-So .... will you give me ... your ribbons .... both?- Him smile from his was still playfully on his face as he tried to find Lan Zhan's blind spot, but he was attentive, waiting.
-If you can take them ...- he was enjoying that game, he looked at the beautiful jade and bit his lower lip.
-You know that if I take your ribbons then I can claim two kisses, right? -It was really funny I didn't think Lan Zhan would be cheeky but then he opened that lovely mouth.
-Wei Ying can take all the kisses he wants if he can take both ribbons -the challenge had been said, Lan Zhan was a man of his word, he knew that he did not lie and he did not play, it was all that was needed.
Wei Wuxian attacked as if his life depended on it, he was a hungry beast and they had offered him the best of dishes, he would fight to obtain it, he tried to reach Lan Zhan but he managed to go between his fingers like water, he laughed while he kept trying to catch him, turning and trying to catch up with him in that beautiful game of hunting.
It seemed that they were not the only ones who were watching because then he could notice petals that began to fall around him, these seemed to shine in the moonlight, it distracted Lan Zhan enough for Wei Wuxian to catch him, throwing himself on him. To tear off the ribbon at his waist and the ribbon from his hair, he held him against the floor, his white clothes gave him a halo that seemed almost ethereal and he did not move, looking at Wei Wuxian, his ears were red again but he did not say nothing, just hoped.
- I Win Lan Zhan, now I'm going to take my prize- he murmured, approaching him, no doubt, taking his face in a gentle caress, joining his lips in an intense kiss, finally devouring those warm and soft lips.
And to think that when he met him she thought he was cold and insensitive but there he could feel an intoxicating warmth, Lan Zhan's mouth was the sweetest thing he had ever tasted and he couldn't stop kissing him, the petals kept falling around him and he couldn't stop. He kept kissing him over and over again, after all Lan Zhan said that Wei Wuxian could kiss him as much as he wanted, so as the winner he would take his prize.
Maybe he took something more than just kisses but that was another story, he had playfully put the flower in Lan Zhan's hair and he did not complain, he left it there.
At the end of that night, watching the sunrise when they reached the stream an old woman was waiting for them, smiling at his appearance, she said nothing, she took the ribbons from the cultivators and blessed them, wishing them much happiness.
The two of them were very red before that blessing but at least they were not the only ones, one thing was to see the young Kang sitting on a log with another cultivator, smiling with his hands clasped but another very different was to see Jiang Cheng arrive terribly red, terribly disheveled and being carried by Lan Xichen, who was smiling angelically despite the marks on Jiang Cheng.
Wei Wuxian was totally open-mouthed, it looked as if a tiger had attacked Jiang Cheng, he had scratches, bruises on his neck, his hair was loose and he could see some torn clothing ties as well and he could swear that he had tie marks on his wrists. He had no evidence but no doubts, when Lan Xichen passed near them, he smiled and made a slight movement of his head, he had his hands occupied as if to say hello and before they asked, he answered.
-He fell headlong, I'll take him to the inn- he said nothing more and continued on his way, he looked at the first jade and then at his brother and thanked all the deities, apparently his was the peaceful brother.
They walked towards the town and as they arrived at the place Wei Wuxian noticed the small laughs and the gestures to the couple, Wei Wuxian was sure that he had the shame written all over his face but when people began to approach he became uncomfortable, it was not so bad ! Many other boys and girls were in the same or worse condition!
He looked at Lan Zhan worried to see him embarrassed and had to look at him twice.
At some point the little pink flower that he had put in Lan Zhan's hair had grown and not only that, he had a whole crow of flowers on his hair, a wreath of white flowers that made him look ... beautiful. .
Mrs. Kang when she saw them squealed with joy and went to call her husband, confused and scared they stayed still and when the man returned and the woman ran after him with an antique mirror they finally had an explanation from her.
-the spirits of the forest will bless us this year! The lady's crown has appeared to give her blessing! -they bowed to Lan Zhan who was extremely red at that moment -the forest spirits will bless his tender and noble love, giving them a fruitful home! -and that was all that the second jade could bear, Lan Zhan did not run but he knew how to walk fast and that was what he did, Wei Wuxian was dying of laughter but the truth is that even after they will punish him he could not help it, he was very happy, very much.
What was better than receiving the blessing of the forest spirits in your relationship? He hoped Lan Zhan would at least let him explain himself, but he wasn't too worried either.
Because in the end, all of Lan Zhan's kisses were just for him.
