ℹ️ This is an AU where literally nothing happens except for the lessons in Gusu.

I also recommend reading the translations on this song^ and keep the lyrics in mind as you read this. I tried to incorporate the lyrics with this one shot. The song was more for the lyrics than vibes.

Wei Ying had heard about him, the Second Jade of Gusu Lan, known for his prowess in battle. Rumours about his grace and unbeatable beauty was the image woven by the people who had seen him. Lan Wangji was said to be the pride of the Gusu Lan clan, an idol for their disciples, the person who was the literal embodiment of what the Lans were known for.

Wei Ying didn't exactly know what to expect then, since in a week, he will attending the lessons in Gusu.

He gazed into the sunset, the water turning a bright orange and the sun setting.

"Wei Wuxian!! You'd better be packed!!" A voice scolded.

"Jiang Cheng my shidi, of course I am!!" He replied laughing, pinching his little brother's side.

Jiang Cheng shrieked and quickly retaliated by pushing him in the water. Wei Ying just grinned and grabbed Jiang Cheng's robe pulling him in.

They played around in the water, as the sun set.

"Are you looking forward to going to Gusu Jiang Cheng?" Wei Ying asked, plucking some lotuses out of the water.

"I'm happy enough to get away from here for a little bit" Jiang Cheng replied wistfully.

Wei Ying tossed the rest of the flower in the water and stood up.

"We should get some sleep, we have a long day of travelling tomorrow" he said pulling Jiang Cheng roughly to his feet.

"I can walk by myself thank you very much!" Jiang Cheng sniped.

They walked back to their rooms, shoving each other playfully, bringing an end to that day.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Wangji mused quietly as he sat in a field. All the bunnies he had saved frolicking around him, jumping on him, begging for attention.

The guests for the lessons were due in 3 days, and the Gusu Lan sect was getting ready. Today was harrowing, he thought. All the preparations were stressful since his uncle demanded everything be perfect.

A black bunny jumped onto his lap, and looked at him adoringly.

He giggled gently and stroked his ears, the bunny making itself at home in his robes.

Disciples from every sect are coming, he thought. The most important ones are Nie Huaisang from the Nie sect, Jin Zixuan from the Jin sect and Jiang Cheng from the Jiang sect.

But he had also heard that Wei Wuxian, known troublemaker and notorious ladies man, would be coming as well. Best to keep an eye on him, he thought.

"Wangji!!" His brother's voice called.

"Coming da-ge!! " he replied, standing up and gently placing the black bunny down.

Walking away, he found the bunny was trying to follow him.

"Go back little one, you can't come with me" he said softly, gently shoving it back in the direction he came.

The bunny gave him one last head butt and hopped back out of sight.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

"I'm going out to feed my bunnies da-ge," Wangji said to his brother, tugging on his robe.

"Sure Wangji, but be back for the guests," Xichen said distractedly, talking to one of the elders.

Wangji happily rushed off to see his precious bunnies.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Wei Ying groaned annoyed, "how long till we find this stupid place!! it's taking ages".

Trudging along beside Yanli and Jiang Cheng, he was getting more tired by the second.

He was especially irritable after the encounter with Jin Zixuan at the inn yesterday.

After finally climbing up all those steps to the gate, they just happened to realise they lost their pass!! 'For gods sake', he screamed internally.

"This day is getting worse and worse" he grumbled to himself angrily.

Gentle, light footsteps were heard.

He turned around quickly to see who it was. "If it's Jin Zixuan I'm going to have a-" his thoughts were cut off by the most beautiful being he had ever seen grace his eyes.

Porcelain skin, dark hair like silk flowing down his back, dressed in a pristine white robes, complete with a blue headband with cloud patterns. He gave off an ice cold aura, his face devoid of expression.

Jiang Cheng leaned in beside him and whispered, "This Young Master must be Lan Wangji, one the two Jades of Lan."

"Wei Wuxian" Jiang Cheng hissed, shaking him, "have you even heard what I just said? And why are you looking at the young master like that?" He asked, noticing Wei Ying was not responding.

"What is happening?" The beauty said, his voice enchanting him like a siren.

"They have forgotten their pass," the disciple guarding the gate said, bowing low.

"Look I can explain," Wei Ying stepped forward quickly, looking to converse with the young master.

"No pass, you cannot come in, I'm sorry," The young master replied shortly.

He swished past Wei Ying, the smell of sandalwood infiltrating his senses.

As soon as he disappeared out of sight, Jiang Cheng grabbed him roughly and shook him like a stalk of rice.

"The hell was that Wei Wuxian!!!!" "You look dazed, did he affect you that much?" Jiang Cheng and Yanli asked in unison.

Wei Ying just gave them a stink eye for interrupting his daydreaming.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

After trying to get accommodation in a nearby inn, bumping into the peacock Jin Zixuan again, Lan Wangji appeared before them and brought them into Gusu.

Noticing that Wei Ying had some Emperor's Smile with him, he said "Alcohol is forbidden in Gusu, you must throw it out," while pointing to the stone with all the rules onto it.

"But-" he tried to protest, as Lan Wangji plucked the alcohol out of his hand and drained its contents.

Wangji cut off all other protests as he strode ahead through the gate. He led them into the heart of Gusu where the place was busy with disciples walking around to where they were needed.

They followed him to what was clearly the guest quarters, and he showed them their rooms. He bowed quickly and left them on their own.

Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying took one room, and Yanli took the other.

They all took a nap after an eventful day.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Running into the lesson room, Wei Ying hurriedly did his hair.

"Your late Wei Wuxian, and no running in cloud recesses!" Lan Qiren scolded. " Copy down the rules later 2 times, my nephew Wangji will supervise you."

The lesson continued, and Wei Ying was bored out of his mind. He absentmindedly watched Lan Wangji as he took down notes on the class. 'He's so pretty,' he thought. 'Look at that face! The rumours about his unparalleled beauty is definitely true and those that think not are idiots.'

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Later that night, he lay awake chatting with Jiang Cheng.

"You seem distracted" Jiang Cheng commented. Wei Ying could feel him rolling his eyes from where he lay.

"I am." He replied. Jiang Cheng spluttered. "I didn't think you'd admit it." He laughed.

"It's Lan Wangji," he admited to Jiang Cheng. "And don't think I didn't notice your puppy eyes at the my shidi."

Jiang Cheng just groaned and shoved his face into his pillow. "We're hopeless."

"Yeah we are." Wei Ying agreed.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Wangji invited himself into his brothers room. "Da-ge?" He asked.

"Hey Wangji" his brother said, holding out his arms, Wangji sitting beside him and burying himself into his embrace.

"How do you know you like someone?" He asked tentatively.

"I think I just found out today myself Wangji," Xichen laughed "Who was it?" He asked teasingly.

"You tell me first." Wangji said stubbornly. "Together then" Xichen compromised.

"1,2,3...."

"Wei Wuxian"

"Jiang Cheng"

"No way.." Xichen said, looking at his little brother in shock.

"Can't say much yourself da-ge!" Wangji shot back.

"Okay tell me everything," Xichen asked curiously.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Wei Ying quietly copied down those annoying rules, sneaking glances at Wangji, who was also studying himself.

"Psst- Lan Zhan!!" He whispered.

Lan Wangji showed no sign that he had heard him and kept working.

"Lan Zhannn" he whined. He walked over to him and lent over his shoulder. He then wrapped his arms around him.

"Wei Wuxian!! What are you doing?!!" Wangji yelped, his ears going a bright red.

"Aww you're blushing Lan Zhan? Looks like I have an effect on you after all!" He grinned.

Wangji for once, lost his ice aura, spluttered and rushed out of the room.

"Ahh stop running away!" Wei Ying groaned, after another failed attempt at flirting.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Wangji avoided Wei Wuxian as much he could now. It was the fact he lost all control to that man every at every interaction they had. It made him feel weird and unlike himself.

His brother however, seemed to be getting along swimmingly with his love interest. Whenever he would go to find his brother for some comfort, he'd always be with a bright red Jiang Cheng with his face pulled into a slight smirk. He felt kind of bad for Jiang Cheng, since his brother was a menace in those areas.

He once again found himself surrounded by his cute bunnies, his second comfort place, the first being his brother who was clearly on a date with the Jiang heir. He felt so tired, the week had drained him more than he would want to admit.

'Maybe if I just rest a bit...' he thought, as his body succumbed to sleep.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Wei Ying was lost.

He didn't mean to go adventuring around Gusu, but he was bored, as per usual. He also didn't have his little shidi to annoy since he wasn't around.

So he followed the path he was on in hopes he would find his way back.

He came to a little pond, a small waterfall trickling down the face of the rock.

His eyes were drawn to a figure in white sleeping, its robe falling around them, like and angel. Surrounded by fluffy creatures they looked like a goddess.

He was overcome with curiosity, so he quietly moved forward to see who the person was.

He was shocked when he realised that it was-

It was Lan Wangji!! He looked.... Cute. He face was relaxed, his posture lax, free from his usual stoic stature.

'Sleeping beauty alright' he thought fondly.

Looking up at the darkening sky, it was getting late.

Not wanting to wake Wangji up, so he gently scooped him up bridal style and made his was back to the rooms.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Passing by Lan Xichen, who showed him the way to Wangji's room, seeing that Wangji was passed out. In return, Xichen asked where Jiang Cheng was.

After his conversation with Xichen, he went into Wangji's scarcely decorated room, and lay him gently on the bed.

As he turned to leave, he found that Wangji's hand was clutching onto his robe. He cooed at him softly, and sat down beside him.

Gazing down upon the graceful being beside him, he slowly joined him in dreamland.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Wei Ying woke up to a half asleep Wangji, cuddling closer into him.

'Oh god he is not good for his health!'

He watched as Wangji woke up with jolt looking around wildly just to realise he was in his room.

A second later, his eyes came to rest upon Wei Ying. He quickly released his grip from Wei Ying's robes.

"Thank you so much for taking me back!" He said quickly.

"No problem darling," Wei Ying winked. "You were cute".

Wangji just blushed at that.

"I need to get dressed for today" Wangji said quietly in a way of dismal.

Wei Ying just grinned, grabbed his chin, and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

Wangji was sure he was a tomato by now!!

"See you later sweetheart!!" Wei Ying called as he left Wangji's room.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Later on:

"I saw what happened earlier, Wangji" Xichen said teasingly.

"You were spying on me?" Wangji asked offended that his brother would stoop so low.

"Nah" Xichen grinned, " It was me Jiang Cheng"

Wangji just groaned and shoved his face into his hands in embarrassment.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

As soon as Wei Ying leaves the room:

"I saw that Wei Wuxian" Jiang Cheng said seriously.

"I know, but he's too cute." Wei Ying said, fast walking to their room.

"Shameless bastard" Jiang Cheng scoffed, rolling his eyes as he followed Wei Ying.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Later that day after a date, they realised that the other was very different from the rumours.

Wangji was not as cold as he seemed, in reality he was a cutie that loved bunnies, and Wei Ying was not as much of a ladies man that Wangji thought he was, but a gentleman who was clearly whipped for him.
