lan jingyi is actually a mini lan qiren. the temper, the frequent calling out of rules, protecting lwj's honor, and being annoyed with mxy/wwx? that's mini lan qiren except he's more fun and actually likes wei wuxian lmao
Lan Jingyi admonished him, “All right! Quiet down. Clamor is prohibited in the Cloud Recesses!”
It was precisely because he didn’t want to enter the Cloud Recesses that he was making such an awful racket!
Lan Jingyi was going to explode. “Killing is prohibited in the Cloud Recesses! Shut that donkey up quickly; the morning study groups came to ask so many times already! Keep this up and we’ll get lectured to death.”
Lan Jingyi was pleased. “Uh-huh. Of course Hanguang-jun is awesome; he just doesn’t like to flaunt it everywhere. He’s super low-profile, am I right?!”
The “am I right” was directed at Wei Wuxian, who was perplexed. “Why ask me? What’s that got to do with me?”
Lan Jingyi grew upset. “You don’t think Hanguang-jun is awesome?!”
Wei Wuxian stroked his chin. “Mm, yes, awesome, of course. Super amazing. The most formidable!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but laugh as well.
“That’s not all. It gets weirder! Sect Leader Su… All right, I know I should be quieter, gosh! Sect Leader Su doesn’t just copy everything—it’s also a sore spot with him if you say he’s just mimicking our Hanguang-jun. He gets really hostile about it. How can such a person really exist?!”
He was talking louder and louder. Resignedly, Lan Sizhui admonished him again. “Jingyi!”
He didn’t know that this “decent” new flute was the very spiritual weapon he’d always been dying to catch a glimpse of—the legendary hell flute, Chenqing. He merely thought to himself with glee, This is great! At least now when he and Hanguang-jun play duets, he won’t look as much of a disgrace as he used to. Good god, that old flute was really ugly and horrible-sounding!
He stood up and patted the hem of his robes. “All good, then. They can keep that up. You guys can go back to playing around, I’ve got something else to do.”
“You never do anything in the Cloud Recesses,” Lan Jingyi said disdainfully. “So what do you need to attend to?”
Without even looking back, Wei Wuxian answered, “Gnawing on cabbage!”
BONUS: lan jingyi and ouyang zizhen fanboying over lan qiren
Ouyang Zizhen did not remain in his father’s grip for long before he charged over again, sword in hand. “Wooow! I had no idea that Lan Qiren-xiansheng knew how to use a sword. He’s so awesome at it too!”
Lan Jingyi responded as loudly as he always did. “Of course! Who do you think taught Hanguang-jun and Zewu-jun the art of the sword before they were sixteen?!”
