Grande Amour

Chapitre trente et un : Écouter la suite de la coulée

Lan Wangji was getting ready to sleep as he changed in his night robes. Wei Wuxians' red silk at the side of his pillow, hair down to his waist as he neatly folds his forehead ribbon. Jumping when he heard a thud coming from outside his chamber, he quickly unsheathed Bichen and went out to see.

"Who's there?!"

Lan Wangji dropped his sword when he saw Wei Wuxian down on the floor, rubbing his head in pain.

"Ouch, I didn't concentrate my spiritual energy correctly... Oh! Lan Zhan!"

Lan Wangji remained still in his position, watching Wei Wuxian standing up with a smile.

"Wei Ying? What are you-"

"Haha, I don't know too but when I was thinking, you suddenly came into my mind."

Wei Wuxian smiled at him. Lan Wangji felt his ears heat up as he looked away.

"Shouldn't you be home?"

"Well yeah I should be but I don't want to disturb my parents for now so~ Mind if I crash by?"

Lan Wangji let out a breath before he picked Bichen up from the floor.

"Suit yourself."

Wei Wuxian grinned even wider as he followed Lan Wangji into his bed chamber.

"So Lan Zhan, were you going to sleep?"

"Getting ready."

"I see~ Then, then can we still talk?"

"Mn."

Lan Wangji sat down on his bed as Wei Wuxian sat down next to him.

"Hahh, I've never been into your room. Do you let people enter here too?"

"No."

"Ohh, should I get out?"

"It doesn't matter."

Wei Wuxian chuckled as he leaned closer.

"So I actually came here to talk cause the archery contest is in two days."

"I know."

"Mhm! And I wanted to cheer you on. Even though we'll see each other there haha."

Lan Wangji sighed before giving Wei Wuxian a small nod.

"Good luck to you too."

"Thank you, Lan Zhan."

An awkward silence washed over them, just the sound of the candle flickering could be heard.

"So uhm, can I play with your hair while I'm here?"

"Okay."

Wei Wuxian awkwardly laughed as he shifted on the bed, now behind Lan Wangji as he stroked his straight hair.

"You have very beautiful hair."

"Thank you."

Wei Wuxian took a comb from his qiankun pouch as he started combing through Lan Wangjis' hair.

"Do you still keep your hair up in a ponytail?"

"Mn. I still have Wei Yings' hair tie."

"Well it actually suits you, but I like the loose haired Lan Zhan better."

Lan Wangji didn't speak but the tip of his nose started to turn red.

"Wei Ying suits loose hair too."

"Oh do I? Then I should keep it that way!"

Wei Wuxian giggled before he sat back down next to Lan Wangji. Serene silence now taking over.
