As the year-end approaches, the prominent families hold almost daily internal meetings, and the Lan Family is no exception. At the hour of the Dragon, the stewards from both inside and outside the gates must report on their respective household affairs to Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji, consolidate the information, and make estimates for the coming year.
The internal meetings in the past few days were nothing out of the ordinary, but today's meeting seems to have a "special flavor."
Due to oversleeping and being a bit absent-minded, Lan Wangji arrived late. As soon as he stepped in, all the elders, stewards, and disciples present turned to look at him, including Lan Xichen, who regarded him with a strange expression.
Members of the the Lan Family were not very talkative, so they began discussing internal affairs as soon as everyone had arrived, and it took almost an hour to finish. Strangely, as each person left, they all made a point to glance at Lan Wangji, leaving him puzzled.
"Wangji, did you use Perfume today?"
"No, I did not."
Lan Wangji indeed does not use Perfume. He has only had the habit of burning sandalwood in the Jing Shi since he was young. If the scent is a little stronger, he will feel uncomfortable.
"Then how come you have a scent of Gardenia Perfume on you?"
"Gardenia flower" - three words, and Lan Wangji instantly understood.
Yesterday, Wei Wuxian somehow obtained a large box of dried Gardenia flower and soaked in it in the bathtub for the whole afternoon. As a result, Wei Wuxian exuded the fragrance of Gardenia flower all over his body. In the evening, Wei Wuxian inexplicably became clingy, continuously trying to push himself towards Lan Wangji, provoking Lan Wangji to take him several times.
Perhaps...maybe...probably...it should be like this. Lan Wangji also carries the lingering scent of Gardenia flower that won't dissipate for a short time.
"Wei Ying used dried Gardenia flower for his bath yesterday."
"Wuxian Taking a bath, how come your body... oh~"
Lan Xichen suddenly thought of something, nodded, immediately stopped talking, and looked at younger brother with a playful expression, showing a "so you're this kind of little brother" smile. Lan Wangji was teased by his older brother's mischievous smile, feeling a bit embarrassed, pretended not to know anything, and picked up the teacup to look to the side.
On the second day, Lan Wangji came again with a fragrant scent, but this time, the Gardenia flower fragrance was replaced with a sweet and strong osmanthus fragrance. On the third day, it was a light lotus fragrance. On the fourth day, it was the faint floating plum fragrance. On the fifth day, it was the elegant jasmine fragrance. On the sixth day...
The the Lan Family had already become accustomed to Lord Hanguang's arrival with a floral scent, but only Lan Xichen would sneak a few glances during the daily report, making Lan Wangji have to use small gestures like drinking tea or clearing his throat to cover up his guilt.
On this day, the absence of any floral scent on Lan Wangji actually felt strange, with only a hint of sandalwood lingering on his robes. After the internal affairs meeting, Lan Xichen decided to ask out of concern for his younger brother.
"Wangji, why is there no floral scent today? Did you have a falling out with Wuxian?"
"No."
"Why not? With Wuxian's temperament, it would take at least another half month for him to lose interest."
"Well, just a change of target for his affections."
Lan Wangji's tone was as usual, but Lan Xichen still caught a hint of... pride in his younger brother's words and expressions. But what is there to be proud of? The implication of someone else's scent... Lan Xichen's intuition told him not to ask, or he might end up feeling sour to the bone.
At this moment, where is Wei Wuxian?
It's not yet the hour of the Snake, so naturally he's still in bed. It's just that today, he might have to sleep until it's dark, after all, a certain "avenger" last night tirelessly fought all night to make him smell like them inside and out.
