Comments:
The current year’s cluster of disciples were watching from a distance near the trees, as nearby, Wei Wuxian tugged on Hanguang-jun’s sleeves for one thing or another, but mostly for attention. Hanguang-jun appeared as frosty as his younger counterpart, but it was hard to deny the soft regard and the doting manner he handled their fellow classmate. Wei Wuxian preened under his attention.
Jiang Cheng scowled at this sight, but he felt shivers up his spine as nobody wanted to acknowledge the donkey in the room.
That donkey was their Lan Wangji who had also been watching the interaction between his older self and Wei Wuxian with a stoic expression. That was nothing new. What was new was his tightly clenched fists and the murderous aura he was failing to repress.
Jiang Cheng truly worried that Lan Wangji might actually kill Wei Wuxian. Indeed, it was certainly embarrassing and Jiang Cheng and everyone else felt it on Wei Wuxian’s behalf for the way he acted around Hanguang-jun. Dare he say it - like a lovesick maiden .
He’d never seen Wei Wuxian like this before, so clingy and whiny and all, “ Senior Lan~”, “Master Lan~”, “Hanguang-jun~”, or “ Lan-laoshi~” with hearts in his eyes.
No, not true. He’d been like this to Lan Wangji, Jiang Cheng remembered, albeit to a lesser degree. But he’d always thought it was in a teasing manner to get his reactions.
Jiang Cheng watched Lan Wangji out of the corner of his eyes. Apparently he was wrong, because right now? Wei Wuxian was completely and utterly infatuated. Did that mean Wei Wuxian also held… certain inclinations to their current Lan-gongzi?
Well, Jiang Cheng had not realized that Wei Wuxian had cut-sleeve tendencies and it definitely grossed him out, but he would not stand by silently for Lan Wangji to just casually kill him! Even if Lan Wangji was mortified by this affection, should he not just reject him politely instead?
See there- Lan Wangji was visibly scowling now and--
CRACK.
Every disciple gasped and stared open-mouthed as Lan Wangji casually pulled his fist back from the tree he had just punched a hole through. He blinked back at them in an almost lazy manner.
“....Eavesdropping is against the rules,” he said.
The one where WWX is not so oblivious, rather he’s absolutely whipped for one Hanguang-Jun and LWJ is very jealous of his future self. This fic is so much fun to read❣
