"Are you okay Sizhui?" Sizhui snapped when Wei Wuxian tapped his shoulder, "you can go to the infirmary and rest for a bit..."
Sizhui smiled and gently shook his head, "thank you Sir Wei but I'm fine..."
"No, you're not..." Wei Wuxian answered, "you're feeling down... Did your girlfriend dump you? Or did young mistress Jin dump you?" 
"Hey!" Jin Ling shouted, "who are you calling Young mistress Jin?"
"Who else if it's not you?!" Jingyi retorted, "your temper's worse than a girl with a period."
The class laughed. Sizhui heartily smiled, "now you smiled..." Wei Wuxian said, "if you're not feeling well, we can have young mistress Jin take care of you... Look how cute he is in a maid outfit.."
"I swear I'm going to kill you if you utter another shameless word..." Jin Ling huffed.
"Why?" Wei Wuxian innocently, "Sizhui is also thinking you're cute... Right Sizhui?"
"Mm." Sizhui playfully smiled, "if he's a girl.. no wonder.. he'll be the cutest wife..."
"Kyaaaaaaaahhhh!" The whole class roared and laughed, while Jin Ling continuously scoffed at his classmates.
Lan Jingyi places a hand on his shoulder, "Young Mistress Jin... It's the perfect student council vice president Lan Sizhui who said it... And there was no instance that he ever lied... If he says you're cute then you're cute... Right?!" Jingyi winked at his classmates which made everyone laugh when Jin Ling kicked him, literally.
Jin Ling, "try another word... Idiot Jingyi..."
Sizhui burst out laughing. Wei Wuxian was also on his stomach trying to suppress his laughter.
"It's okay A-Ling... I'll take care of you..." Sizhui joked. It made Jin Ling hold his breath, cheeks turning red when Sizhui took his hand and intertwined their fingers, "I'll be a good husband... I'll take care of you..."
"WHO'D WANT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY YOU!!! FUCK OFF!!" Jin Ling screamed in horror. He immediately runs away from the classroom.
"WAIT JIN LING!! THE SKETCH!!" Wei Wuxian shouted.
"SHUT UP!" Jin Ling answered while running away. 
The boys laugh, while the girls giggled. They even laughed hard at Jingyi's statement, "Sizhui! You rock up the rank of shamelessness with Sir Wei! "

Lan Wangji had an early afternoon. He went to the market to do some groceries. He was picking some fruit when he noticed a lotus scent coming from behind. 
"Good afternoon Mr. Lan... Fancy meeting you here." Wei Wuxian said.
Wangji turn to him and gave him a slight nod. His eyes were fixed on the bottles inside the other person's cart. His brows twitch with assorted alcoholic beverages, "your groceries?"
"Yes..." Wei Wuxian answered, "It's been so long since I drank one..." His eyes met the gaze of another person.
"Mr. Wei... Did I not tell you to refrain from drinking while teaching in my school?" Meng Yao said as he approached them.
"Mr. Meng... Mhmm... It's not mine... It belongs to Mr. Lan..."
"No, it's not.." He coolly replied. Wei Wuxian jerked and glanced at him hoping for some assistance.
He pinched Wangji's arm, "Lan Zhan... It's aged wine... If I share a bottle with you, can you pretend and help me for a while?..."
Suddenly, a memory flashed before Lan Wangji.
