LXC lost his new phone, while trying to figure out what happened to it a photo showed up on his icloud that is linked to the phone.. It seems someone is using it.

Meanwhile WWX got JC a replacement for his broken phone courtesy

JC worked on LXC suit, for a week he was off and on his phone but it still did not stop him from dropping random updates to LXC. Their talk is rare for a day due to busy schedules but it was enough to motivate him from making this as good as possible.

The next day JC already prepared the suit, placed in a box and carefully packed with a paperbag that had his brand name on it. For some reason he was nervous, he didn't really was screw this up.

The bell rang indicating a new customer and JC head turned to see who it was

Unfortunately it was not the one he was expecting.

"Are you that excited waiting for Mr. Grab?" A-Qing asked with a mischievous smile on her face like the little devil she is.

"No, and don't call him that can you?" the bell once again made a noise and this time LXC walked in

"Mr. Lan" JC greeted and LXC smiled at him handing him the same milk tea that he bought for him last time.

"I told you to just call me Xichen" he chuckled.

"Ah, right Lan Xichen.. Here you go" JC handed him the bag while he took the milk tea from the other.

"Im excited to use this" he looked at him and JC nodded. They stared at each other for a while before Lan Xichen chuckled and took a step back. "I should be going now" he turned around to leave however - -

"Lan Xichen wait!" JC called him.

LXC blinked and he slowly turned around, Did JC wanted him to stay?! Because if he does he is more than willing to do so.

"Uhm.."

Go on, tell me to stay!

"Uhm.. Your payment? You haven't paid yet" JC gave him a half smile gesturing at the suit.

"Oh.. Right"

A-Qing snorted so loud she excused herself and LXC handed JC his card with his cheeks flaming with embarrassment.

"Thanks, try to fit it later just see if it is to your liking and if there is any adjustments you want to do so we could work it out" JC runs his card.

"Thanks I hope you will like it"

"Yeah.. I will.. I will" LXC turned around to leave.

"Lan Xichen"

"Yes?"

"Your card?" he waved the card and LXC smiled snatching it away from him.

Gods! What is going on with him?! He definitely should leave.

"Ill see you next time"

"Bye"

(50: RIP composure)

(51: Muse?)

Jiang Cheng was not joking when he said LXC would every designer's muse. Those broad shoulder, slim waist.. JC could list them all.

He actually felt proud when he saw his work being worn by that man. For now he didn't bother him and perhaps he would just send a message tomorrow

The next morning JC was surprised to see two e-mails, opening it he blinked. There are four clients inquiring about his work, and they are not just any clients they seemed to be big names in the business industry.

"Fuck"

He immediately messaged LXC.

(52: slow)

JC shouldn't feel this excited but he was somehow looking forward to it. He stared at his phone before a small smile crossed on his lips and he stood up looking at his two employees.

"Who wants milk tea? My treat?"

(53: in the mood)

(54: Help me choose)

-The not really date day-

Jiang Cheng arrived at the cafe that they decided to meet up. He didn't know why he was a little nervous, he was just here to help him for his book. Yes it's all for the book, he shouldn't think too much about it.

When the clock hit 2pm the bell on the door rang indicating a new customer and LXC arrived. He was wearing a white button up shirt, three buttons undone to show a patch of his skin. JC immediately looked away.

"Right on time" JC called out and LXC chuckled as he sat down across him.

"Its a little traffic thankfully I managed to get on time" he smiled and JC nodded, calling for the waitress they both placed their orders.

"So... How is this gonna go?" JC asked as they waited for their food and LXC blinked before showing him his phone and a list was there.

"So I did research about the ideal dates"

JC looked at the list and his brows raised at these.. sappy and romantic dates.

"Okay? Well I'll just have to come with you right? And look around for couples or something?" JC asked and LCX chuckled.

"I was expecting to experience it first hand though"

The waitress appeared with their food and JC blinked.

"So... This is a date? A fake date or something?" JC raised a brow and LXC stared at him.

"Sort of"

JC frowned, he didn't understand why he suddenly got upset about it. So yeah this isn't like a date /date/ he is just helping him to experience these dates.. Thats all!

JC discarded those thoughts away and when their food is served they fell in a comfortable small talks. JC is not complaining especially there is a cake in front of him.

LXC showed him some of his works, and JC took note of his pen name. Zewu-jun... Its familiar.

When he realized why it was familiar he wanted to facepalm so hard. A-Qing had been reading his works before, she had all his books and was her favourite author.

He couldn't wait to spoil A-Qing the fact that she called Zewu-jun a grab driver.

"She would literally flip if she found out" He chuckled, imagining her reaction.

"Do I really look like a grab driver? Should I be insulted?" LXC asked taking a sip from his milkshake.

"Nah, you are too handsome to be a grab driver" JC waved his hand unaware that

His praise made the other flush.

"So, Jiang Cheng thinks Im handsome?"

"... What-- I didnt.."

"You said so just a minute ago" LXC smiled seeing JC cheeks staring to change color.

"Well.. I mean, yes. You do look handsome.. You had a great frame.. And body.. Of course im saying this from a designer's perspective!" he gestured at him before focusing on his cake.

"What about from Jiang Cheng’s perspective?"

".. Meh.. So.. So" he murmured and stabbed the piece of cake before shoving it on his mouth so it could be occupied with something and he can stop spewing shit.

"If you say so.. I think Jiang Cheng is very attractive, that's from Lan Xichen's perspective by the way"

LXC smiled at him, there was a teasing lilt on his voice before he turned to finish his egg tart.

JC huffed and looked away, before he fumbled for his phone under the table.

(55. HELP)

(56: HELP 2.0)

JC and LXC left the cafe.

JC swore his braincells will decrease its count by the end of the day. While he was having some inner panic earlier LXC chose that time to reach out and wipe the icing off they corner of his lips.

He nearly dropped his phone.

"Dont surprise me like that again" JC muttered under his breath as they walked side by side.

"Well doesn't lovers do that kind of stuff?"

"Haha.. This is just a play date, you are taking it too seriously" JC shook his head

"What if.. I wanted it to be a real date?" LXC asked and JC paused blinking at him.

"What?"

"I said what if I wanted this to be a real date.. Between us?"

JC stared at him for a moment and he blinked befoe chuckling, he reached out to slap his arm "You.. got me there, tsk. Dont surprise me like that"

Before LXC could say anything he immediately walked taking big strides, he looked back to see LXC following him.

Okay, okay..

What the fuck calm down.

The rest of the afternoon was spent marking LXC checklist.. That ridiculous checklist. After the Cafe they went to visit the aquarium and JC started to relax especially when he saw the stingrays.

"It freaking looks so much like you!"

"I don't see your basis of comparison here..,"

"Wait let me take a picture".

JC started to post the photo online and did not expect for LXC to reply to it even thought they are just right next to eachother.

"Jiang Cheng is such a bully.. You are bullying an old man"

JC chuckled and continued walking LXC is following him observing the other man that started to relax with his presence.

Later that afternoon they arrived on the amusement park. JC had been complaining at first but later on started to participate on some shooting games.

JC earned him a purple pufferfish stuffed animal and LXC had to bite back his laughter because he said it reminded him of JC and the younger male had been so embarrassed and angry.

He had to make it up to him by buying him some ice cream. LXC doesn't mind that much at all and he had forgotten when was the last time he was able to have fun like this, relaxed and comfortable with someone.

"I had fun" LXC said as he parked the car outside JC apartment.

"I suppose it was okay.. I hope it's gonna help your work.. Damn we did a lot of.. cringy stuff" he murmured remembering LXC thumbs against his lips when he wipped the icing clean.

"Cringy? Is this not Jiang Cheng’s kind of ideal date?" LXC asked that damn pufferfish

Is sitting inosently on his lap.

"No"

"What is Jiang Cheng’s ideal date then?"

"Tsk.. I dont know, maybe some pizza while binge watching crime documentaries" He shrugged and glanced at LXC "Is that weird?"

"No.. I dont think so" LXC chuckled.

"Anyways ill be going now"

JC went out of the car and waved at the older male before he returned back the building heading towards his apartment.

Once he arrived he flopped on the couch and looked at his phone, several photos of LXC is there. He stared at the photo for a long time before shaking his head.

"No, no, no.. Get yourself a grip" he slammed the phone on the couch as he groaned. "What the fuck is going on..." he sighed and opened his phone when he saw a new message appeared.

(57: shookt)

(58: The next day)

(59: Work)

(60: Disappointed)

Jiang Cheng placed his phone down and started glaring at his computer, he crossed his arms unimpressed.. Why is he so bothered about this? So what? Its just.. Help they helped eachother so why the fuck is he sulking here unable to finish his work?!

"Fuckin asshole"

He sighed, his mood dropped down to 0 he cant even chat on their GC without being upset.

Knock. Knock.

"Boss?"

It was A-Qing and he was not in the mood to deal with her now "What? I said dont disturb me!"

"Well... Someone delivered a Milktea" she opened the doors anyways and placed the said drink on his table.

"I didn't order anything.."

"The grab dude said its for you"

"Lan Xichen he is here?"

A-Qing raised a brow at this and shook her head "No.. Just the normal grab"

"Oh.." he looked at the milktea and blinked, he didn't order anything, thats freaking weird.

"Were yoy expecting him?"

"No! Go away. Go back to work!"

Jiang Cheng frowned and inspected the item, there was no note or anything.

His phone suddenly vibrated.

Jiang Cheng scoffed after reading the message but it made his lips twitch in a small smile. He glanced at the milktea and reached out to drink from it.

"Idiot"

He murmured unknown to him, a pair of watching eyes is observing him.

(61: The truce)

(62: advice)

(63: attempt)

Jiang Cheng stared at his phone for a moment placing his scissor down on the table as he typed in his response.

A small smirk crawled on his lips as he placed his phone down.

(64: creepy)

Jiang Cheng locked the store, shaking the handle a few times and turning the knob to make sure it was all secured.

Satisfied he shoved the keys on his coat pocket and turned around only to see a figure hovering at him.

"fuck!" he raised his fist ready to strike.

Thankfully he recognized the person.. Its LXC.

"Sorry i didn't mean to startle you"

"No, shit dont come up to me like that I almost hit you" he sighed and shook his head before he placed his hand beside him

"I arrived on time though"

"Indeed, very much on time" JC chuckled as they started walking "You didn't bring your car with you?"

"Ah.. I decided to commute today, and walking with you gives us more time yes?"

"Time?"

"Time to spend with eachother" he smiled and JC felt his face heat up.

He immediately turned away to avoid Lan Xichen's gaze as they walked. They are heading to a small cafe located near the shop, it happens to be JC favourite place as well.

They went inside and he sat on his favourite spot near the window. Thankfully it was empty.

Aftef their orders were taken LXC smiled at him "You have a sweet tooth dont you?"

"No."

"Alright, because I just did not hear you order a chocolate milkshake topped with smores and a strawberry shortcake" LXC repeated his order and JC frowned at that "And its totally fine!"

"I just didn't expect it"

"Whatever you should not tell this to anyone do you understand?" he huffed and LXC nodded. "So how was your work? The book I mean.."

"It was great, i did a major revision my editor is a little against it but.. Its something I must do"

"I see.. Im not keeping you away from work aren't I?"

"Definitely not"

LXC smiled and their order finally arrived. JX was greatful for that because he is not sure if he could sheild himself from that blinding smile.

They spent the afternoon at the cafe, talking about their work and how their day went. JC ranted about a particular customer and LXC shared to him his previous works.

"I dont really read romance novels" JC said after finishing his shake.

"Why not?"

"Im just really.. Not the romantic kind of person, I think its exaggerated." he shrugged.

LXC chuckled. "What is exaggerated?"

"You know.. Feeling those butterflies on your stomach, or time slowing down, seeing sparks everywhere"

"Perhaps its not really literally but it's more of the feelings" LXC smiled and reached out to pick his cup of coffee.

"Did it already happen to you?"

"It haven't happened to me yet but I did feel my breathing hitched when I saw this person smile last week. - -

Its not that intense but its a start yes?"

"tsk.. Considering you write romance novels you might be really romantic then" JC raised a brow.
" you probably had went out with several people before? You seemed to be the kind that is very popular"

LXC took a sip from his cup and leaned on his chair. "Im not sure but A-Yao did say so.."

JC twitched. That name again.

"I went out with him back in college but it just didn't work out figured we are better off as friends, right now he is my editor. He still nags me"

"Ah."

JC reached out for his milkshake sipping furiously at the empty cup, it made some loud noises as he tried to focus on the drink, gods he wanted to chug the ice there to have himself occupied.

"Do you want more milkshake?"

"No im fine"

(65: No chance?)

(66: Sibs meeting)

(67: Zuns meeting)

(68: Baby bro to the rescue)

(69: Baby Bro is the best)

(70: Dont tell me...)

(71: shocking)

(72: WQ IS DONE)

(73: unbelievable!)

(74: report)

(75: help! )

(76: big size)

(77: Lan [Redacted])

Jiang Cheng sighed and shut his phone as he leaned against his chair. The small office he had suddenly felt even more smaller.

That was stupid, whatever Wei Wuxian is telling him it's very stupid.

There is no fucking way Lan Wangji would even look at his direction.

"Dont stress yourself over it Boss, Im sure he doesn't like you" A-Qing smiled with a shrug "I mean who would even?"

"Should I be thanking you? Tsk! Go back to work I have an appointment soon" JC waved his hand to shoo her away.

Picking up his phone he saw tge on the recent message from his client, LXC haven't messaged him yet and he sighed, shaking his head and opened the message from his client today.

He walked out of his office and headed towards the main store just in time the door opened.

(78: Where am I?)

"Oh Hi" JC greeted the customer and gave him a small polite smile. "Meng Yao?"

"Yes that's me, We met at the party Jin Zixuan's party" MY smiled at him and offered his hand for a shake which JC gladly shook.

"Yes, it was your birthday too.. You are Brothers right?"

"Yes.. Ah your shop if very nice" He looked around and JC led him inside. "Im glad I personally visited"

"Thanks, by the way you did not specificy to me in our e-mails if you wanted to get a tailored one or the already made" he asked observing his client who hummed in thought.

"It's actually not for me.. Its a gift for someone" he smiled and JC nodded. "So I will look around for a while and if I cant find anything ill have it custom made"

"Of course sure." JC extended his hand to show MY around.

"How is Lady Jiang doing? No update with the wedding?"

"No, Sister had been busy with the restaurant, im sure they will say something once they decided a date" JC responded looking at MY who skimmed through the rack of coats.

The door chimed indicating a new customer and JC looked back when he heard A-Qing's cheerful voice only to see LXC heading inside.

"What are you doing here?" JC asked because.. LXC did not leave him a message about dropping off which is odd.

"Im here to see someone of course" LXC smiled at him before his gaze fixes from behind him and his face lit up "A-Yao"

JC looked back at MY who smiled at him. "I just sent the message, did you really rushed here?"

JC stared at the two for a moment and blinked.. This. Is that A-Yao? Suddenly he felt like he needed to break something, idiot of course LXC is here to meet.. To meet MY.

He clenched his fist as he observed the two.

(79: What..)

LXC stared at his phone with a frown and glanced at MY with a sad look on his face.

"Whats wrong?"

"He left.. He seemed upset" LXC slipped his phone on his pockets. "What are you doing here anyways?"

"I should be asking you that, you said you are working on a chapter now"

MY gave him a small side glance as he continued picking and choosing a coat.

"... I well am working on it, im almost done"

"Still not done, deadline is next month Er-Ge"

"I know.. I know, you haven't answered my question" LXC stood beside him.

"I thought you aren't coming in today, I wanted to buy a suit for Dage.. Dont tell him, he would just fuss about it" he murmured.

This made LXC raise a brow. "Am I hearing this right?.. You two.."

"Its a peace offering! You left early on my birthday party so you didn't know"

"What happened?"

"Shit dad happened, he got drunk made a small scene, Dage shielded me from a wine spill..So I owe him a new suit"

"A-Yao.."he reached out and gave his shoulder a light squeeze."Come ill help you choose then"

"Or else ill buy something awful, just to spite him"

(80: Not answering)

(81: Find him)

(82: supportive)

(83: ice cream)

(84: ignored)

(85: Angry?)

(86: Are we good?)

(87: keep the phone)
