#zhancheng co-parenting is just lsz & jl weighing their options to pick the more lenient parent when they want smth (depending on what it is, one of them is more of a pushover). ex: lwj caves in when it comes to buying meals/sweets but jc is "we have proper food at home" + jc is okay with the boys going out as long as they tell them where they will be and when they'll be home (he knows they're gonna try to sneak out anyway bc he's done it too) but lwj is way overprotective and they know it'll be a NO so why bother asking him in the first place?? +

#zhancheng childhood friends, crushes, fluff

'he loves me not-' a petal is torn off the stem. '-he loves me.'

and so goes the mantra in his head until there's only one petal left. the answer from the universe is: 'he loves me not.'

lan zhan purses his lips, feeling upset. + that's not right! he knows in his heart of hearts that jiang cheng loves him!! they shared a box of blueberries at lunch yesterday!!!

with renewed vigor, he wades through the dewy grass yet again and plucks another daisy out of the ground. he has to double check. +

i understand the appeal of hs au's but im old and can no longer relate so i present to u: GRAD SCHOOL AU but make it zhancheng. jc and lwj are studying at a prestigious university in different programs and are housemates, sharing an apartment off campus + they didn't know each other prior to the day each moved in. lwj barely talks and is a bit of a homebody. jc appreciates the peace and quiet, it's kind of like he lives alone but he's also not used to being around people /this/reserved. lwj comes off as cold and disinterested +
