"So this is something I should be ashamed of? Don't tell me that you've never looked at such a thing before." Said Jiang Cheng as he looks at the book beside him.

[ At the Garden ]
Jiang WuXian who was enjoying the breeze of it night wind blowing through his skin and hair a she relaxed his whole body from the peace here in cloud recesses..
"..." Lan WangJi who passed by from the garden spotted Jiang WuXian at the stone chair with a tea on the stone table for him.
"...." Lan WangJi walks towards to his beloved as he stand beside but far away from Jiang Ying.
"It's almost 9, you should be inside of your room.." said Lan WangJi. Jiang WuXian was surprised from the sudden voice.
He turned his head beside him and saw Lan WangJi there standing as his hand was at his back, "Lan...Zhan.." said to WuXian.
Lan WangJi heard this and flustered from the call of his birth name from his beloved. "He... Called my name.." Lan WangJi was happy for hearing his loved one called his name for so long..
"Jiang Ying.." said Lan WangJi as he stared at Jiang Ying on the eyes. Two eyes each other as the moon brighten them making it more romantic between the two alone together in the middle of the night.
"...." Jiang WuXian blushed after hearing Lan WangJi called his name.
Jiang WuXian felt flutter on his chest and his heart was pounding so heard after that call.. Lan WangJi saw this reaction of Jiang WuXian as he felt also flutter on his chest and his heart pounding as his face start to heat up from embarrassment.
"Uhm... Hanguang-Jun.." hearing this again Lan WangJi expression change as he was though that Jiang Ying will finally call him by his name but he was wrong. The call of his titled Hanguang-Jun was making him mad.
"I.. I will go back to my room after this... I'm sorry I didn't know what time is it now." Jiang WuXian said as he was gonna say again but was cut off by Lan WangJi's.
"But-"
"It's about 9, go back to your room and sleep." He said as he turned around making Jiang WuXian stared at him in confused from the sudden change attitude, "it's to dangerous for you wondering around alone with a weak golden core.." this hits Jiang WuXian a lot..
Since he has a weak golden core his Father FengMian been more over protective of his safety whenever they go out of Yunmeng sending a lot of discipline to guard him. Jiang WuXian look down as he didn't say anything.
"...." Lan WangJi peeked behind him as he saw what Jiang WuXian was making, his eyes wide to see his beloved cried silently as tears escape from his eyes. Lan WangJi turned around and his full body was facing towards Jiang WuXian. As he walk towards him and kneeled, Lan WangJi panicked as he remembers what he just said. Lan WangJi didn't mean to say those words to his beloved and hugged Jiang WuXian.
Jiang WuXian was surprised form the hug but he hugged back, it also been years since he felt that hug from Lan WangJi... Everytime when Jiang WuXian cried, Lan WangJi always by his side to hug him, comfort him until he stop crying..
"...im sorry..." Lan WangJi whispered through Jiang WuXian's ears as, Jiang WuXian was also surprised from the apologies..
"... It's okay... You have a point.." said Jiang WuXian as he pulled away from the hug and pushed little bit Lan WangJi away from him, "I shouldn't have cried... Your right... I should probably go back to my room, it to dangerous for my life wondering here outside in the middle of the night... I should stay at the room for my safety.." said Jiang WuXian, hearing it makes Lan WangJi hurts he doesn't mean it.. he doesn't mean for Jiang WuXian's having a weak golden core and being weak on his strength...
"...." Jiang WuXian stood up as he bows at Lan WangJi with respect before he leaves, "sorry for my bother, Hanguang-Jun. I will taking my leave first..." Jiang WuXian start to walk away back to his room leaving Lan WangJi alone, this time Jiang WuXian is walking away not even looking back as Jiang WuXian continue to walk forward...
[ Jiang WuXian - Room ]
Jiang WuXian opened his room door and immediately closed it as he tears was escaping on his eyes. He was hurt for leaving Lan WangJi and not looking back.. it was a huge misunderstood between them.. it was a mess between them.
"I'm so stupid..!" Said to himself as he hit himself a little on the chest tears more escape on his eyes.
"I'm so, so stupid..." A knock was heard at Jiang WuXian door.
"Xian-da ge?" It was Jiang Cheng who was at outside of his room. Jiang WuXian immediately wipe out his tears and cleaned himself as he wipe more his tears away so Jiang Cheng wouldn't find out that he was crying.."
"Xian-da ge, are you in here? It's me A'Cheng." Said Jiang Cheng as he keeps knocking on his Da ge's door.
Soon the door opened revealing his older brother Jiang WuXian with a smile on his face, "Da ge."
"A'Cheng, what's bring you here? Aren't you supposed to be at your room by now? It's almost bedtime, what are you doing here?" Asked Jiang WuXian.
Jiang Cheng who saw his Da ge walking pass them far away, he was walking really fast as he was to late to called out for him.
"I saw you pass by, so I decided to come here and visit da ge" said Jiang Cheng with a smile but soon that smiled fades when he saw Jiang WuXian's eyes was little red from crying and he immediately knew that his Da ge was crying.
"Something happened to da ge." Said to Jiang Cheng's thoughts.
"Did that cold hazard bastard Hanguang-Jun came here and bullied Xian-Da ge! That bastard! How could he hurt da ge!" Jiang Cheng who seems so angry that Jiang WuXian notice the face on Jiang Cheng making makes him laughed a bit for how cute his didi-cheng,cheng were.
"Don't worry A'Cheng.. it wasn't Hanguang-Jun. A small rock went through my eyes making me to cry." Said Jiang WuXian as he makes excuse so Jiang Cheng won't make a fuss or trouble on Lan WangJi.
"Da ge. Your to soft on that bastard Hanguang-Jun! He needs to teach a lesson for making you cry! He should be punished." After hearing that Jiang WuXian stared at Jiang Cheng.
"No. Jiang Cheng.. this matter is between adults... You didn't know what actually happened, don't make actions before you knew the truth." Jiang WuXian said as he scolded Jiang Cheng from saying such things about Lan WangJi...
Jiang Cheng who seems a bit surprised from a scolded from his Da ge and soon nodded as he look down, "sorry da ge... I won't do it.." Jiang Cheng said head down feeling sorry for his da ge.
"...." Jiang WuXian sighed as he didn't mean to scold Jiang Cheng.. he calm himself down first and wine to Jiang Cheng and hug him.
"I'm sorry too... I shouldn't have said those.. but please. A'Cheng don't make any trouble from Lan Zhan, his already been busy from work and I don't want him to handle another matter.."
"Yes, da ge... I won't do it.."
Jiang WuXian smiled and hugged once more Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng hugged back and smiled at him as will...
"That's it for now." Said Jiang WuXian as he pulled away from the hug.
"You should probably go back to your dorm and sleep it's already pass 9 now, what if some Lan discipline finds out a young master Jiang WanYin was here out wondering in the middle of the night alone." Jiang Cheng laughed at his Xian-gege's little joke.
"They won't."
Jiang WuXian patted Jiang Cheng's head once more...

"... I saw brother-in-law at the hall.. he seems look crying." Said Lan XiChen as he told his brother Lan WangJi about Jiang WuXian.
"...it's my fault.. I hurt Jiang Ying." Said Lan WangJi.
Lan XiChen was surprised from what his brother said. Just by staring at his brother WangJi he can feel the emotion on him and how he didn't mean it to what he just do to hurt Jiang WuXian...
"... I trust you Brother.. I know how you felt on senior Xian and how much you cared for his safety."
Lan XiChen who knew the condition about Jiang WuXian having a weak golden core. Lan XiChen decided to help his brother WangJi to have a good moments nor bonds with the Senior older Jiang WuXian together with his brother WangJi.
