Title: Just Trust Me

Author: kippalittlefox

Universe: Modern AU

Status: Complete

Rating: Mature

Length: Epic (24+K)

Summary:

Wei Ying is a first year student at Gusu University. He often goes to the local convenience store where Lan Zhan works. They bond over casual conversations during Wei Ying's trips to the convenience store, but an unfortunate incident with a bully named Wen Chao brings them much closer together.

The idea for this came to me after reading a sugar-daddy LWJ fic. I've read a lot of modern AUs that use the rich LWJ/poor WWX or homeless WWX tropes (not dissing, I like these too!), but I've never read an AU that makes WWX rich and LWJ poor; so I wrote one.

Comments:

If you ever wanted to read a role reversal fic where WWX is rich and LWJ is poor, look no further. This is a cute modern AU where WWX takes care of LWJ throughout the whole fic.
