Kneel down

(The extras have nothing to do with the main text, please rest assured to eat.)

That was the first time Lan Xichen saw Jiang Cheng.In the empty classroom, the boy lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking. The sunlight shone through the window, casting a layer of light on every part of the boy's body.

"They're all gone?" Lan Xichen held a computer in his hand and looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile, "It's getting dark, are you okay going back alone?"

Jiang Cheng raised his head in response, squinting his eyes to confirm whether the person in front of him was Lan Wangji or Lan Xichen.Now it’s officially the summer vacation of the second year of high school, Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian went to Lan’s house to make up lessons as usual.At the end of the summer vacation, Lan Qiren took a test to test how well everyone mastered the knowledge taught this summer vacation.But Jiang Cheng was a little out of order today. After lunch, he was still dizzy during the afternoon exam. Naturally, he failed the exam.

After the exam, Wei Wuxian greeted Jiang Cheng and left behind Lan Wangji with a laugh. According to Wei Wuxian's usual temperament, he won't be going back to Jiang's house tonight.Jiang Cheng also happened to be able to go home later, so he stayed in the classroom and looked at this test paper again.

This person should be Lan Xichen, the boss of the Lan family.Jiang Cheng thought so.Although they look very similar to Lan Wangji, but from what other people have heard, their personalities are completely different.Because Lan Xichen has been studying abroad for many years since high school, even Wei Wuxian has rarely met him, let alone Jiang Cheng.

"Brother Xichen?" Jiang Cheng didn't know how to address Lan Xichen because he had never met him.

"Yeah. Isn't Ah Cheng going home yet?" Lan Xichen sat next to Jiang Cheng with his homework book in his arms, turning sideways to see what Jiang Cheng was reading just now, "Examination paper? The exam in the afternoon?"

The opponent's sudden approach made Jiang Cheng feel a little unnatural, so he moved to the side indiscriminately, but he still couldn't stop the sandalwood scent coming from his nostrils when the opponent approached.He had also heard this smell from Wei Wuxian before. He heard from Wei Wuxian that sandalwood was always burned in the bedroom of Lan's house, and he would naturally get a little bit of it after staying with Lan Wangji for a long time.However, unlike the cold sandalwood scent on Wei Wuxian, the sandalwood scent on Lan Xichen's body is softer.

"Ah... yes, I didn't do well in the exam in the afternoon."

"Hmm, let me take a look." Lan Xichen put down his homework, and went to Jiang Cheng to collect it again.Now Jiang Cheng has no place to move, and if he moves, he will move outside the aisle.Jiang Cheng had always disliked being too close to strangers, and besides Wei Wuxian, he didn't have two good friends and classmates at school, and Lan Xichen's sudden intimacy made him feel really uncomfortable.

"This question is still very simple. You start here, create an equation, and then substitute the relational expression of y in, and you can solve x first." Lan Xichen took a pen and sketched twice on the test paper, looked up the book Wanting to see Jiang Cheng's reaction, Lan Xichen knew why Jiang Cheng failed the exam.

"You have a fever?" Lan Xichen reached out and touched Jiang Cheng's forehead, as expected.

Jiang Cheng naturally knew that the question was easy, after all, Lan Qiren had taught a similar question, but Jiang Cheng couldn't solve it during the exam, as if his head was clogged with glue.Even when Lan Xichen was explaining to him, he couldn't concentrate his thoughts.When he was in a daze, a warm hand was pressed to his forehead. Jiang Cheng was so startled that he subconsciously moved to the side, dodging Lan Xichen's hand.

"Well, I'm sorry." Lan Xichen also felt that he might be a bit abrupt, so he withdrew his hand and smiled at Jiang Cheng, "Would you like to go and rest first, I can call your father."

"No need." Realizing that he had overreacted, Jiang Cheng pulled the test paper from Lan Xichen, got up and ran out of the classroom.

"Hey! Jiang..." Before Lan Xichen finished speaking, Jiang Cheng disappeared.Lan Xichen shook his head helplessly, picked up the computer and left.

"I don't eat people."

"Knock knock knock."

"Who is it?" It was already noon when Jiang Cheng was waking up, and he may have had a fever yesterday due to heatstroke, so he has been sleeping until now.After washing up, he went downstairs and slumped on the sofa, not knowing what to do. Today his father and mother went out to deal with company affairs, and Wei Wuxian didn't know where he went wild and hasn't returned from Lan's house.Just when Jiang Cheng was going to heat milk and prepare lunch, there was a knock on the door.

"It's me, Lan Xichen."

Jiang Cheng couldn't make up his mind, even though he was rude and left first yesterday, why did he come to his door today.

"Hello." Lan Xichen still had a smile on his face, and lifted the thing in his hand, "This is the textbook you left in the classroom."

Jiang Cheng froze for a moment, took the bag from Lan Xichen, and sideways invited Lan Xichen into the house.

"It's so troublesome for you, but there's no need to send it here, just let Wei Wuxian bring it back." Jiang Cheng said while busy pouring tea for Lan Xichen, "It's just a book, and I went so far on purpose."

"No, no trouble." Lan Xichen took the teacup, thanked Jiang Cheng, and continued, "Didn't you have a fever yesterday? I heard from my uncle this morning that Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, the Lan family, and the Jin family were going." I went to other provinces to deal with things, so I am a little concerned."

care?What do you care about?The one I've only met once?

Jiang Cheng froze in place, not knowing how to answer, he rubbed his hair after a while, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.Walking to the door of the kitchen, Jiang Cheng stopped, his back turned to Lan Xichen, "Let's have lunch at my house."

"Okay. I'm sorry." Lan Xichen held the teacup, staring at Jiang Cheng who was busy in the kitchen with his back turned to him.He also couldn't explain why he came to Jiang's house on impulse, and he had only met him yesterday.

It's too weird myself.

Since that meeting at Lan's house, and after lunch at Jiang's house, Lan Xichen saw Jiang Cheng several times intermittently, but each time it was just a few simple greetings.Later, Lan Xichen asked Wei Wuxian for Jiang Cheng's contact information, but it was limited to a few dry and dry conversations without any content.It happened that Lan Xichen was in the gap period when he just graduated, and he was still studying some company content at home, and spent a lot of spare time, so he developed the habit of hanging around Jiang Cheng High School when he had nothing to do.

Although this looks like a pervert... But Lan Xichen will be more concerned if he doesn't go.

Finally, on Saturday, Lan Xichen stayed at the bookstore in front of the school as usual for Jiang Cheng, who was home from vacation. However, from noon to evening, Lan Xichen still didn't see Jiang Cheng's shadow in the crowd.So, driven by the devil in his heart, Lan Xichen walked into the third year's teaching building through the school's side door.

"...I don't seem to know which class Ah Cheng is in..." When Lan Xichen stepped into the seven-story teaching building, he suddenly remembered this fact. It's in his bag.In desperation, Lan Xichen had to search from one classroom to another.

"Class [-]...Grade [-]... Hey! Who!" Lan Xichen was about to go to the classroom of Class [-] after checking the classroom of Class [-], when he was suddenly dragged into Class [-] by his clothes classroom.When Lan Xichen came back to his senses, Jiang Cheng had already pinned him in a corner.

Lan Xichen is a bit taller than Jiang Cheng, so Jiang Cheng has to look up at Lan Xichen slightly.Jiang Cheng surrounded Lan Xichen in a corner, and said in a bad tone, "What are you doing at my school?"

"That me..." Lan Xichen rubbed his nose, moved his gaze away from Jiang Cheng, his eyes wandered uneasily.

"Lan Wangji doesn't seem to be in this school, does it? You've been squatting in the bookstore opposite the school for nearly a month. Do you really think I can't see you?"

"I didn't follow you." Lan Xichen was startled, and quickly defended, "I just..."

"Just what?" Jiang Cheng leaned forward, staring at Lan Xichen.Lan Xichen found out when he went to the bookstore for the second time, maybe it was his own illusion, Jiang Cheng went a little closer to the bookstore in the next few weeks, as expected.

"It might be scary to say it..." The action of the two of them is really dangerous now, Lan Xichen tried to stick himself to the wall as much as possible, "You might not believe it...I...maybe...like you..."

Now Jiang Cheng's emotional management has completely collapsed, and he doesn't know what expression to put on his face.Jiang Cheng's reaction was also expected by Lan Xichen, after all, when he realized this, he also found it incredible.

"Master Lan, you took the wrong medicine." Jiang Cheng twitched his mouth, "I'm a man, did you say something like this through your brain?"

"I……"

"Okay, don't talk about it. It's too late and I'll go first. Young Master Lan, don't... forget it, you can do what you want in the future." Jiang Cheng said and ran away as if tossing his schoolbag aside, leaving only Lan Xichen didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Lan Xichen, Lan Xichen, you're an adult now, have you thought about what you're talking about?"

Later, Lan Xichen discovered that Jiang Cheng had also blocked his contact information.Lan Xichen couldn't find a reason to see Jiang Cheng, so the matter was put on hold.After Lan Xichen's study period ended, he began to go to the company for an internship, and Jiang Cheng also graduated from high school, and entered the longest vacation of the entire student period.

"Xichen, there is a child waiting for you downstairs."

"Who is it?" Lan Xichen was busy processing the documents assigned last night, without looking up, he asked, "Didn't he look for Wangji?"

Lan Wangji was helping Lan's company during the holidays, and Lan Xichen thought it was Wei Wuxian who came to the company to play with Lan Wangji again.

"No, I just said I was looking for you. It seems to be the second child of the Jiang family... Hey! Xichen? Xichen!"

"Ah Cheng?" Lan Xichen hurried downstairs, wandered around the lobby on the first floor, and found Jiang Cheng who was sitting in a daze in the reception room in the upper right corner.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Cheng glanced at Lan Xichen who was sitting next to him, "Does what you said before still count?"

"What I said...what did I say...do it, do it!" Lan Xichen was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand, but Jiang Cheng grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

"Huh? Ah Cheng?"

Jiang Cheng ignored the surprised Lan Xichen, pulled him into his arms, whispered in Lan Xichen's ear,

"Then, I like you too, Lan Huan."
