When Wei Ying arrived at Lost in the Clouds, he was just a soft and tender four-year-old, like a little white dumpling.
"Really want to take a bite" This is Lan Zhan's first thought upon seeing Wei Ying.
Constrained by family rules, Lan Zhan still managed to maintain a poker face, as he was already accustomed to doing so. Moreover, the Gusu Lan family rules were deeply ingrained, and his uncle Lan Qiren was right there, so he dared not overstep, lest he face punishment. Nevertheless, Lan Zhan couldn't help but stare at the little white bun without blinking.
Wei Ying On the way here, Uncle Hu said that he has two nephews, one who is two years older than himself, and the other who is about the same age, just nine months older. Well, they are all older than him, so they are all older brothers. At this moment, Wei Wuxian, who has just arrived in a new place, is hiding behind Lan Qiren, grabbing onto his sleeve with his small chubby hands, unable to hide his nervousness in his eyes. But even so, when he saw the young man in front of him, dressed in white and with a headband, he couldn't help but feel happy, squinting his eyes and smiling sweetly.
"Ah! So cute! I want it!" This is Lan Zhan again.
He was still young and didn't understand what kind of emotion it was. But when he heard Lan Qiren discussing with the head of the household where to place Wei Ying, for the first time, he spoke up on his own.
" Jing Shi!"
Lan Qiren was surprised that his usually quiet little nephew would take the initiative to speak to Wei Ying whom he had just met, and it sounded like he wanted Wei Ying to live with him. But both of them were just four-year-old kids, what if something happened...
"I will take care of my little brother!"
Lan Zhan seemed to see uncle's concern, worried that uncle would place Wei Ying elsewhere, and anxiously spoke up. Lan Qiren found it strange that his own nephew would take the initiative to speak up again and again, and figured that he must really like Wei Ying. Considering that Lan Zhan had few peers since childhood, having the two children together and assigning a few more people to look after them would be fine.
" Ying, would you like to live with this young man in the future?"
"Living together?" Ying was puzzled.
"Living together means eating together, sleeping together, studying together."
"With this little brother?"
"Yes."
"I'm willing!"
Looking at Wei Ying smiling sweetly at himself again, Lan Zhan's mind only heard a loud bang, and he couldn't hear any other sound. He didn't even react when Lan Qiren asked him to take his brother back to the Jing Shi, he just kept staring at Wei Ying. In the end, it was Wei Ying who patted his little legs and gently took Lan Zhan's hand.
"Brother, let's go!" Ying said sweetly.
" Ying, you can have this piece of cake too."
"This is the last piece, don't you want to save it for your older brother?"
"My older brother is getting old and doesn't like sweet things."
Lan, getting old, was about to step into the Jing Shi with one leg, his mouth twitching in speechless dismay. This little brother really can't be kept!
" Zhan, Ying."
"Elder brother." This is Lan Zhan.
"Big...brother." This is what Wei Ying wanted to call his big brother, but he was glared at by Lan Zhan and instantly changed his words.
At this moment, Lan Huan of Yazheng had the impulse to beat up his little brother. Originally, Ying would still call himself "big brother" in a grandmotherly way, but just two days after being happy, his ungrateful little brother insisted on calling Ying "big brother" and pouted if he didn't agree. Big brother, big brother, becoming less and less cute!
" Ying, it's okay. You can call me 'big brother' as well."
"Brother, manners should not be neglected." This is Lan Zhan.
"Well, Second brother is right," said the obedient Wei Ying.
"In that case, shouldn't Ying also call Zhan Second brother?" said the fake-smiling Lan Huan.
(Elder brother, are you trying to start a war?) said Lan Zhan in his mind.
( Zhan, elder brother, this is called reciprocity. Can't neglect courtesy, right?) This is Lan Huan's OS.
Lan Huan and Lan Zhan inexplicably started staring at each other, leaving Wei Ying completely puzzled. He looked at one, then the other. In the end, he thought for a moment and said, " Second brother is Second brother, elder brother is elder brother, they're not the same."
" Ying is right!" This is the victorious Lan Zhan of this battle.
( Ying, you will lose me like this.) This is the defeat of Blue Huan without fighting.
"Brother, why did you come to the Jing Shi?"
"Uncle said he wants us to take Ying down the mountain to the Tsaiyi Town to get familiar with the style of Suzhou..."
Before Lan Huan could finish, Wei Ying pulled Lan Zhan out of the Jing Shi like a gust of wind, leaving only a silhouette behind.
"Sigh... ( Ying, did you forget that there's still a big me here?) I thought I gained a little brother, but it turns out I didn't gain any. Hmph! Lan Huan feels so pitiful.
The fastest thing in the world? Time."
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years since Wei Ying arrived at the Gusu Lan. The little lad from back then has long since grown up into a dashing and handsome young man. A decade is enough time for a person to undergo earth-shaking changes, such as transitioning from obediently following family rules to repeatedly testing the boundaries of those rules, or from being too timid to speak a single word in class to asking dozens of questions in one breath, leaving the teacher questioning life itself. However, the one thing that hasn't changed is that he is still as clingy to Lan Zhan as ever.
"Second brother, I want to eat this!"
"Second brother, I want to buy that!"
"Second brother, I want to..."
Everyone in Lost in the Clouds knows that whenever Second Young Master and The Third Young Master appear together, it will definitely be filled with " Second brother". Lan Zhan has always been a man of few words, but under the cover of his wide sleeves, his hand must be holding Wei Ying, and even if he's not holding it sometimes, his hand is always protecting Wei Ying on his left and right. This little rascal really causes a lot of trouble, often walking without looking, accidentally bumping into things, and it's still himself who feels the pain.
Nie Huisang, also known as Second Young Master, is considered a childhood friend of Wei Ying, although not as close as Lan Zhan, who is referred to as "green plum" and "childhood playmate." They visit Lost in the Clouds five or six times a year, and each time, Nie Huisang stays for about ten days, causing Lan Zhan to look at him with a cold gaze.
The first cup of Emperor's Smile that Wei Ying drinks is encouraged by Nie Huisang. Wei Ying, who has never drunk alcohol before, quickly becomes intoxicated, making his cheeks look rosy and adorable. The drink is spicy but extremely refreshing, with a lingering aftertaste. As the two of them get drunk, their conversation becomes increasingly irrelevant.
"Ying, you're always sticking to Zhan. Have you ever thought about what you'll do if Zhan gets married in the future?"
"Married?"
"Yes, once married, Zhan will have to eat and sleep with someone else. By then, Zhan will be someone else's husband."
"Um, no! Lan Zhan can't be someone else's!"
"Ying, don't joke around. People have to get married eventually."
"Do I have to?""Mm.""Then I'll marry Lan Zhan! Yes! That's what I'll do! I'm going to marry Lan Zhan in the future!"
Came to arrest Wei Ying for breaking the rules, just injected spiritual power into the voice transmission talisman, and heard such a powerful sentence, which shook me standing in place, unable to remember why I came. But after not seeing him for half a day, did Little Yu Mu's brain suddenly open up? What trick did Nie Huaisang use? A few cups of Emperor's Smile and he managed to do something that he hadn't been able to do for years?
Lan Zhan was very surprised, but Lan Zhan was very happy.
"Wei Ying."
"Second Brother Lan! You're here to pick me up!"
"Okay."
"Let's go!"
(??? Did you forget there's still a big me here!)
This is Nie Huaisang who has embarked on the same forgotten fate as Lan Xichen.
Lan Zhan is not yet fifteen, but surprisingly strong. Even carrying Wei Ying on the mountain path for almost an hour, there is no sign of swaying. Jokingly, what he's holding in his arms is his whole world.
On the second day, Wei Ying woke up to see Lan Zhan holding a note, staring at him intently. As he scratched his head, trying to remember if he had broken any family rules due to excessive drinking, he heard his own voice in his ear:
"I'll just marry Lan Zhan! Yes! That's what I'll do! I'm going to marry Lan Zhan in the future!"
Wei Ying is very shocked, but why is Wei Ying still a little bit shy?
"Let's go."
"??"
"See uncle."
"Ah?"
"Engagement.
So, the future Lord Hanguang has found himself a wife before reaching adulthood, while the future The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation has carelessly sent himself away before reaching adulthood."
If childhood playmates can revolve around green plums, then this must be the fate.
