Lan Zhan was in Yumeng as he had accidently gotten lost from Lan Xichen, his older brother. Suddenly, he came across a small child shivering in fright as multiple dogs had surrounded him. Lan Zhan quickly shoos the dogs away as he immediately runs to the child who is none other than Wei Ying.

"Hey.. are you okay?" Lan Zhan asks the child worriedly as the child looks up at him as Lan Zhan immediately sees lovely silver eyes that he felt like he would get lost in.

"Y-yes.. t-thank you for helping me..." the child says as he was still scared.

"What is your name? I am Lan Zhan, courtesy: Wangji." Lan Zhan introduces himself to the small and frighten child.

"W-Wei Ying.. my courtesy is Wuxian.." The child introduces himself as Wei Ying, which made Lan Zhan smile internally.

"What are you doing out here, Wei Ying?" Lan Zhan asks Wei Ying worriedly.

"I-i.. don't have a home..." Wei Ying mumbles as he teared up.

This broke Lan Zhan’s heart as he wrapped his arms around the crying child, holding onto him, comforting him.

Wei Ying held on Lan Zhan as he cried his eyes out.

Lan Zhan kept holding Wei Ying until he had calmed down as he wiped his tears away. "Hey.. it's okay... you can stay with me in Gusu..." Lan Zhan said, trying to comfort Wei Ying, who had stopped crying.

"R-really?" Wei Ying ask as he wipes his tears away.

"Mn. Come on!" Lan Zhan says as he helps Wei Ying stand up as he sees how ragged Wei Ying's clothes are if they were even called clothes as they were only rags. Lan Zhan takes his Gusu cloak off, wrapping it around Wei Ying. Lan Zhan took a mental picture of how cute Wei Ying looked in his robe with his cute Fox ears sticking up while his tails wagged side to side slightly.

"Lan Zhan.. are you here alone?" Wei Ying asks as he looks up at Lan Zhan with stars in his eyes.

"No. I came with my brother but.. I seemed to have lost him.." Lan Zhan replies as Wei Ying looks at him.

"Do you have anything that belongs to your brother, Lan Zhan?" Wei Ying asks as Lan Zha. nods before handing him a small piece of cloth(a handkerchief) that belonged to Lan Xichen. Wei Ying took the piece of cloth before sniffing it as he caught a lead. "Come on, Lan Zhan! I can smell him!" Wei Ying says as he grabs Lan Zhan’s hand, dragging him with him as he leads Lan Zhan to a man who looked exactly like Lan Zhan.

"Gege!" Lan Zhan quickly runs over to Lan Xichen as he hugs him tightly.

"Wangji! Where were you?! Do you know how worried I was?!" Lan Xichen says worriedly as he hugs Lan Zhan back. "Are you okay?! Are you hurt?!" Lan Xichen asks worriedly as he looks at Lan Zhan.

"No, Gege.. I am fine, " Lan Zhan replies as Wei Ying felt like he was going to cry as he never received any love like this from anyone. "Gege.. I made a friend.." Lan Zhan says as he points at Wei Ying, who was fidgeting with his hair as he looked nervous.

"Hello there, little one.." Lan Xichen crouches down in front of Wei Ying, who backed away slightly. "Hey, I won't hurt you.. trust me, I won't.." Lan Xichen says as he slowly wraps his arms around Wei Ying, hugging him. "Wangji, why is he wearing your cloak?" Lan Xichen asks Lan Zhan, who was watching him with envy.

"His clothes are..." Lan Zhan looks at Lan Xichen, who looks at Wei Ying, who had ended up falling asleep in his arms from how tired he was after not having slept for 4 days straight.

"Come on.. let's bring him back to Gusu." Lan Xichen says as he gently picks Wei Ying up in his arms, going back to Gusu with Lan Zhan right beside him.

>{}——————————♡——————————{}<

As soon as Lan Xichen reached Gusu with Lan Zhan, they were both immediately greeted by Lan Qiren, elder of the Gusu Lan Clan, known for producing outstanding students, even out of the most hopeless cases.

"It seems that you are back from your trip, Wangji! How was it?" (I don't know how to talk like Lan Qiren- O^O ) Lan Qiren asked.

"Good... I made a friend." Lan Zhan says as he points at Wei Ying, who was fast asleep in Lan Xichen's arms.

"Wangji found him in the cold he was barely wearing any clothes, so Lan Zhan lent his robe to Childe Wei," Lan Xichen explains as Lan Qiren gasps in shock and horror.

"W-why is he here?!" Lan Qiren yells out.

"Uncle… He was freezing. Please let him stay!!" Lan Xichen says as he bows down while still holding onto Wei Ying.

Lan Qiren was stunned as he didn't know what to say or do. "I..."

"Uncle, please! Please let him stay!" Lan Zhan begs, which shocked both Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren.

"Fine! But if he causes too much trouble, he is out!" Lan Qiren yells out as he crosses his arms.

Even though Lan Zhan wasn't showing it, he was excited that his best friend was finally accepted to stay here.

"Come on, Wangji! Let's take care of Childe Wei!" Lan Xichen says as he and Lan Zhan both run off, leaving Lan Qiren standing there thinking.

"God... why do I have the child of a calamity and a god on my shoulders now.." Lan Qiren asks himself as he knows that he would definitely be in trouble if Wei Ying was hurt or anything.

>{}——————————♡——————————{}<

Soon enough, Wei Ying was now part of the Gusu clan, and only Lan Qiren knew that Wei Ying was the child of Hua cheng and Xie Lian.

 "Gege... It seems like our son had finally got accepted into a clan.." A man with a handsome youth of eighteen to nineteen years. The childish aura of his younger form is one of calmness in true form, although there is still a wild playfulness to him. He has skin as white as snow and wears maple-red clothes along with exquisite, silver vambraces.

"It seems that you are quite right, San Lang.."

a handsome individual who currently wears a conical bamboo hat in honour of a nameless farmer who showed him genuine kindness and compassion at his lowest point in life. He is also dressed in simple, white Taoist robes and bandages to hide his Cursed Shackles. One of the bandages he wears is his weapon, Ruoye.

>{}——————————♡——————————{}<

"Wei Ying.. Time to wake up." Lan Zhan says, shaking Wei Ying, who didn't want to get up.

"Nooooo.. let me sleep, Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying whined, wrapping his tails around himself.

"No, we are going to be late for our sword practice now. Get up." Lan Zhan says sternly as he pulls on Wei Ying's tail, making him get up immediately.

"Ow! Lan Zhan, that hurt!" Wei Ying cries out quietly, whining softly.

"Wei Ying.." Lan Zhan says, threatening as Wei Ying gets up before yawning and stretching his limbs out.

Wei Ying soon got ready as Lan zhan waited for him outside.

"Come on. We are going to be late." Lan Zhan says as they both walk towards the sword practice arena.

"You are both late!" Lan Qiren yells out in rage as he glares at Wei Ying and Lan Zhan. "Wei Wuxian! This is the 4th time! Get to class late again, and I will punish you!"

>{}——————————♡——————————{}<

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying were both listening to Lan Qiren talk as Wei Ying was getting bored as he wrote something on a paper before crumbling it and throwing it at Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan glares at Wei Ying as He opens the paper, and it wrote, 'Lan Zhan! I am bored..' and that made Lan Zhan sigh as he stuffs the paper(it autocorrect 'paper' to 'baby'- what the heck-) into his pocket as he starts to listen to Lan Qiren's lecture.

>{}——————————♡——————————{}<

After the class Wei Ying immediately runs out of the room with a young boy with violet jianxiu robes of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan and it made Lan Zhan feel jealous seeing Wei Ying and the kid from Yunmeng Clan both run and play together.

"Wei Ying is mine..." Lan Zhan walks over to Wei Ying as he wraps his arms around him. "Wei Ying.. who is he?" Lan Zhan asks as he glares at Jiang Cheng, who had stiffened up from how scary Lan Zhan looked.

"Oh, Lan Zhan! Meet Jiang Cheng! He is my new friend!" Wei Ying exclaims happily.

Lan Zhan glares at the boy known as Jiang Cheng as he wraps his tail around Wei Ying.

"Lan Zhan? Are you okay? You are usually not this clingy.." Wei Ying asks as he looks at Lan Zhan worriedly.

"I'm fine." Lan Zhan replies as snuggles into Wei Ying's neck.

"A-ah, Lan Zhan—" Wei Ying says, not expecting Lan Zhan to be acting like this

"Wei Wuxian, it is getting late, so I will be taking my leave." Jiang Cheng adds as he bows down before leaving quickly, not wanting to be near Lan Zhan at all.

"Good riddance.." Lan Zhan thought as he held onto Wei Ying tightly.

"Aiyaa… Is Lan Zhan jealous~?" Wei Ying asked,

teasing Lan Zhan, whose ears were now red.

"Mn." Lan Zhan just says.

"Come on, Lan Zhan. You can let go of me now." Wei says sniggers as Lan Zhan just tightens his grip around Wei Ying's waist. "Lan Zhan.. if someone finds us like this, they would tell your uncle..."

"That doesn't concern me." Lan Zhan says nonchalantly.

Wei Ying sighs as he just pats Lan Zhan’s head.

"Lan Zhannnn! Come on! Let's go!" Wei Ying whined.

"Fine." Lan Zhan says as he feels sad, just still decided to follow Wei Ying to god knows where-

Lan Zhan followed Wei Ying to the woods where they found a cave house.

(Imagine it is real.... HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY EXPECT ME TO FIND A CAVE HOUSE WHILE I AM LITERALLY LAZING AROUND THE HOUSE TRYING TO FIND SOME GRASS TO TOUCH?!- Nvm- Y'all forget what you just read-)

"This was not here last time... Wei Ying.. Did you make this?" Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying, who just stuck his tongue out playfully.

"Maybe~" Wei Ying replies with a smirk as he drags Lan Zhan in. "Come on, Lan Zhan! We can have all the fun(Ahem) we want here!"

(help- dunno what to write next-)
