It is easy to get caught up in describing someone's surrounding and finding perfect words for the silent atmosphere. But the secret to really capturing beautiful moment is to breathe.

Lan Sizhui and JinLing's breathe were silently interlocking with each other. Hating to part, with the hot breathe of other male.

Sizhui smiled for unknown reason. He gently placed JinLing's bandaged hand that he was dearly holding on table. He moved his face away maintaining a decent distance.

He said, "Its because Zewu jun had personally sent me with you to protect you. So, right now only you should be in my mind, JinLing."

There was a moment of ecstasy before, but as Sizhui's lips shot these words, JinLing felt an itching in his heart.

He sat straight, maintaining his composure. He responded, "Hmm."

Sizhui seemed to wanted to say something, he only had parted his lips.

Knock. Knock.

Came a knocking sound from the main door. The person outside said, "A-Yan open the door." From the voice it seemed an old lady. The old lady outside continued in low tone, "Mom's here."

So, the lady outside was Xiao LongYan and Xiao LongShi's mother.

Sizhui and JinLing looked at each other, because it was obvious Xiao LongYan was in kitchen which was two room away from the living room, and she wouldn't be able to hear her mom's weak call.

No response coming from inside, the old lady knocked again.

Sizhui suddenly got up from where he was, he fixated the hem of his robe and said, "I'll go open the door."

"Then why're you telling me?!" said JinLing with an annoyed expression.

Sizhui smiled and said, "Just thought of saying to you."

"..."

Sizhui walked towards the door, with a click he opened it.

The lady said, "What took you so long- who are you?"

"Ahh... Me...?" Sizhui too didn't know what to say. And ofcourse how could he. But still he tried to answer. "Madam, I'm..."

But before he could say, the old lady kept down the empty bamboo basket she was holding and held both of Sizhui's hands.

She said, "Are you A-Yan's friend?" Though it was dark outside, the excitement in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Sizhui was baffled, he thought he heard something else, so he asked, "...Yes???"

"Wow that's great! For how long do you know her? Since when were you two together?"

"..."

"?!"

Sizhui was ofcourse stupefied with her personal questions. He had only known her for most probably two hours.

Cough. Cough.

Both of them turned their head to look at the origin of the noise.

JinLing had just now coughed on his own saliva for no particular reason. Or maybe just because of the shock that this old lady gave him.

He only wanted to cough a bit, so that they won't continue talking. But he unexpectedly really chocked on his saliva, and coughed violently. He was still coughing.

When he felt someone was patting on his back. When he soothed himself he heard the gentle voice say to him, "Feeling better now?"

He didn't turn around to see who it was, he already knew who it was. He was embarrassed for really choking up. He sat diligently and said, "Yes."

The other man seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief.

At the time, Xiao LongShi came in holding a plate with some chicken wings. He exclaimed, "Mother."

His mother was shocked to suddenly see her son, who had went to train himself in a prominent sect. She muttered, "A-Shi...?"

Xiao LongShi served the plate and asked, "Where are others?"

Sizhui said, "They are in veranda."

"Oh okay... By the way, this is my mom." LongShi said while bringing his mother forward.

Sizhui said with a smile that wasn't like a smile, "Yeah we thought so too. I'll go call the-"

But before he could complete his sentence, he heard Jingyi shouting, "Why was JinLing coughing so violently?" Followed by Zizhen.

Jingyi had an unknown smirk on his face that he was trying suppress but still couldn't hide it. But then frowned, when he saw two unwanted people.

JinLing said, "Oh so you've quite good hearing skills."

Jingyi was about to answer, but before he could Zizhen spat out, "Its not that. He was actually intently trying to hear the conversation behind the door - "

"Oihoi Zizhen look! Chicken wings! Its meat!" Zizhen was interrupted by the un Lan disciple of Lan Sect. Ofcourse that's Jingyi. Plus Zizhen also got a nice smack on his back.

Jingyi dragged Zizhen to the table where yummy chicken wings were kept. Even ignoring the new character that was their host's mother.

"What were you trying to say?" JinLing asked.

Zizhen didn't say anything at first. His eyes unintentionally met with Jingyi, as if they were shouting at each other through telepathy.

Within next moment, Zizhen replied, "Ah, you didn't understood? I said, Jingyi was actually worried when he heard the loud coughing noise of yours, the Sect Leader of Jin Sect! So, he tried to listen it through the doors. Now understood?"

"Ohh" came a respond from both JinLing and Sizhui. Then they both looked at each other, and turned away.

Jingyi sighed in relief, that Zizhen was good in making up things. He could actually made things up within fraction of seconds and told them without hesitation. Seriously, wow.

"Where's Jin ShangLi?" finally the host spoke.

"He must be at veranda." Zizhen replied, "Oh by the way who's this lady?"

Xiao LongShi answered, "Ah she's my mother. Mother they are my friends. He's Ouyang Zizhen. The guys in white robes are the disciples of Lan Sect. And the one sitting there in the Sect leader Jin."

"Ah... Sect Leader Jin." Her eyes widened in surprise, seeing such person in her primitive little cottage, that was not so primitive.

She said, "We're honored that you came to this old lady's home."

"Its no big deal." replied JinLing with an expressionless face.

"How arrogant." ofcourse who in this world would have the guts to bicker with Sect Leader Jin if not Lan Jingyi?

JinLing exclaimed, "Shut up Jingyi!"

Jingyi nonchalantly replied, "You really are an arrogant brat. Who'll marry you if you are like this?"

He though said it nonchalantly, but JinLing was triggered. His eyelashes fluttered and he thought of those gentle eyes, and those beautiful thin lips.

Won't those eyes ever lovingly gaze at him?

Won't those beautiful lips ever smile for only him?

He replied in a voice that was like as if someone was choking him, but Jingyi and others clearly heard it. JinLing actually said, "Sorry" in front of everyone.

Jingyi, Zizhen, Sizhui and even LongShi and his mother were shocked.

JinLing was embarrassed like hell, but thank goodness that he only sweat out of embarrassment, and that his face didn't turn red.

He said, "I'll eat later. I'm going out to have some fresh air."

"Out? Right now? Its dark outside." Jingyi said.

JinLing only looked at him with a frown and an annoyed expression, but didn't said anything. He, the Sect Leader Jin, left the place like that to have some fresh air outside.

As he left through the main door. Jin Shangli entered from the back door.

When he looked at everyone's disdainful expression he was confused. From the moment they entered this building he had experienced enough drama that he hadn't in his entire life.

He straight away went to table and sat comfortably, and took a huge bite of the precious chicken that wasn't touched yet.

Everyone looked at him with wide eyes without saying a word. Having been the centered like this, he was embarrassed.

He said with a violent voice, "What?!"

At that moment everyone must have snapped back into the reality, and they all shifted their gazes. Jingyi, Zizhen, LongShi and ShangLi dug into the chicken wings. The lady went inside to help her daughter with food.

Jingyi was worried but nevertheless he still ate. When he saw Sizhui not eating, he asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Sizhui took some time to process what had happened. He only shook his head in response. Jingyi said, "Fine then. Eat later."

Eat? How could he? When he was busy thinking something that made his mind into chaos?

Why did JinLing suddenly apologized when Jingyi mentioned that he won't get married?!

The heck! Was there someone in his mind?! No way. Is the girl beautiful? More than him?! Or what?!!

Like seriously what?!

Yo guys! So, what do you think Jingyi was actually doing hahaha.

EDIT: Btw I see some readers were kinda not satisfied with the part where Sizhui said, ''Its because Zewu jun had personally said me to protect you. So, right now only you should be in my mind, JinLing'' But then well aren't you curious of the next part?? Where he was about to say something but was interrupted by a 'Knock knock' well yk what hw was about to say?? 

"Well even if Zewu jun hadn't sent me, I would still come to protect you." 

And why not right. After all HE's Lan Wangji's son🤷‍♀️ and yk what he said after that... "Zewu jun's order is just an excuse, you're always in my mind."🤣🤣🤣 jk

AHAHAHAHA I should've written it earlier I guess... but doesn't matter or does it🤔. Well as they say half information is dangerous like that half flirt is also dangerous😂😂 did it make sense? I hope it did lo. Well I just hope that was a satisfactory line cz yk I don't really have much skills when it comes to flirting.
