9 Lie (1/2)

”ZeWu-Jun - !”

”Sect Leader Lan - !”

”Lan Xichen - !”

”Aaaaaah - !” Jiang Cheng screamed after he buried his face on his pillow. The past few days, he kept hearing about Lan Xichen's name around him.

After the moment he realized his embarrassment, he kept avoiding the other person as possible as he could. His face always goes red in embarrassment every time he sees that person's smile, thinking that the person smiled at him because he remembers that 'smile' of his (JC).

And now, he's at his wit's end. Seems like he can't avoid the person anymore. After all, they're both sect leaders, and their brothers (WWX and LWJ) are married to each other.

Ah. He thought. This makes them (JC and LXC) brothers-in-law, right? he thought, then dark lines covered his face.

This just makes him unable to avoid the person more.

The next day.

”Sect Leader Jiang.” Lan Xichen said and smiled brightly at him as he bowed.

”Sect Leader Lan.” Jiang Cheng said and bowed, keeping his face as blank as possible.

Like what he expected, the day for them to cross paths arrived sooner. It's the meeting between the sect leaders.

”Sect Leader Jiang.” Lan Xichen called him when he passed by him.

”Hm - ?” Jiang Cheng said and turned.

”May I speak with you after this?” Lan Xichen asked.

”… eh?” Jiang Cheng said and looked at Lan Xichen's gentle face.

But, his gentle face is serious.

”I have something important to tell you.” He told him, then bowed. He walked towards his seat.
