()

Everyone had congratulated Sect Leader Lan, for his sudden announcement of Marriage just a few months after the end of his seclusion.

The woman he is to be wed to is known to be soft-spoken and beautiful.

The say she is the perfect Lan Furen, perfect for their gentle Zewu-jun who had his heart already broken by the past. She would certainly help the first jade of lan return to his true self.

Jiang Wanyin knew the future Lan Furen, they had been introduced to each other when he—

had visited the Cloud Recesses for sect matters and to visit his close friend.

The woman loved teasing him, pointing at his usual scowl, giggling at his threats to his nephew. She said he's always mad and that its very cute.

She always follows him whenever he visits in CR.

And sometimes, Lan Xichen would also come to join them in those moments. The man would sit between him and her.

Lan Xichen would laugh at them both but smiles gently at Jiang Wanyin.

"He is just shy." Lan Xichen would always say when the lady grumbles something about him.

When the day of the engagement was announced, Jiang Cheng stared at the two, the lady had this bright smile on her face while Lan Xichen had his usual gentle one.

Jiang Cheng turned to leave, his back facing the engaged couple.

His heart hurts.

One day, the lady had approached him. She had ask him for help in preparing for her wedding.

Jiang Cheng had accompanied the lady to the shops to choose fabrics, he had helped her settle the ceremonies, food that will be served—together they had organized the ceremonies.

The Future Lan-Furen had smiled at him sweetly, as she tried her red robes for him to see.

"Do you like it, Wanyin?" She asked.

"Is it okay if I call you Wanyin?"

Jiang Cheng couldn't speak anymore and nodded. A different voice ringing on his head everytime she says his name.

The Wedding Day had arrived. Jiang Cheng had been chosen to be one of the lady's helper.

He had helped her walked towards the ceremony, wearing the red robe they chose. He saw Lan Xichen, waiting for them.

The lady gave him a bright smile as he led her.

"Thank you, Wanyin."

He had watched the entire ceremony. He planned to leave early but he was surprised to see Lan Xichen looking for him.

"Come, Wanyin! We need to be in a painting together." The man smiled at him and took his hand.

Jiang Cheng let himself be pulled, he saw Lan Furen waiting.

The Lan Furen tiptoed to fix Lan Xichen's hair. A white-ribbon wrapped on her wrist.

Jiang Cheng inhaled, fixing himself.

The three of them stood for a painting.

With the Lan Furen in the middle.

He walked away after but he felt someone held him back.

It was Lan Xichen.

"Wanyin, Thank you for all your help." The man gently said, his brown golden eyes staring intensely at his own eyes.

Jiang Cheng nodded and gave a small smile.

"It's nothing, Huan-ge."

A few months after the ceremony, a package arrived on Lotus Pier.

It was a copy of the painting.

Jiang Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, he tore the painting into two breaking the trio.

And slowly putting the two pieces together.

Lan Huan and Jiang Cheng.

"Huan-ge."

-END

Lan Xichen watched as Jiang Cheng walked away, gripping his hand who had held the man's arm.

"Huan-ge?" He heard someone call him.

But it wasn't coming from the person he loves,

If only he was brave enough,

He wanted to hold his lotus,

His Wanyin.

The painting arrived, but no one knew—He had commissioned two.

The first one, a painting of the three of them which he had given to the Lan Furen.

And the most important one, a painting of him and his beloved.

Lan Huan and Jiang Cheng.

"Wanyin."
