Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji headed back to Qingfeng.

Outside the dormitory,

There, they had to separate.

"Ha, guess I'm not going to be in your dorm for my stay. Qingfeng is way bigger than I thought and generous too! Can't believe they gave us our own dorm rooms!"

Lan Wangji: "... Mn."

Better not tell Wei Ying that the dorms that their class was staying in were the abandoned wing that was probably haunted by an unrest ghost that had died a horrible death in the very halls decades ago. (according to Shi Qingxuan.)

Lan Wangji: "......"

Lan Wangji does not believe in such rumors.

Wei Wuxian turned around and said,

"Well then, good night, Lan Zhan!"

"Wait."

Wei Wuxian turned back around. "Hmm?"

"Wei Ying," Lan Wangji said. "Don't forget about the student orientation tomorrow morning."

Wei Wuxian blinked. "Oh- of course!" Wei Wuxian grinned. He totally did not forget.

"Don't oversleep," Lan Wangji added.

"Heyyy, I don't always oversleep, Lan Zhan! Don't do me dirty like that!"

Lan Wangji: "Okay."

Wei Wuxian grinned again. "Good! See you tomorrow morning then!"

"Good night, Wei Ying."

"Mn, good night!"

Wei Wuxian walked away, humming, "If we ever meet again, are we ever meant to be?"

Lan Wangji smiled.

。。。

。。。

。。。 Guys, he smiled. 😍

。。。

Wei Wuxian flung the door open. "GUESS WHO'S HERE?!"

Luo Binghe looked up. "Oh, hey, Wei Ying."

"Hi." Wei Wuxian walked over and sat on the bed. "Where's Hua-xiong?"

Luo Binghe was unpacking his suitcase. "He's in the washroom. Speaking of which, you should go take a shower after him. I'll cook dinner."

"Oh, okay." Wei Wuxian glanced around. There were two bunks' beds. Between them was a window and below it was a wooden desk and chair. Luo Binghe was putting his clothes into the wooden wardrobe.

"So, how was your day, Luo-xiong?" Wei Wuxian asked, already forgetting this evening's phone call to Luo Binghe.

"Oh, it was amazing," Luo Binghe said dreamily.

Wei Wuxian: "..."

Luo Binghe coughed. "I mean it was great."

Wei Wuxian: "...!! Oh yeah! I forgot! You had a date today, right?"

Luo Binghe sighed. "It wasn't a date," he said, stuffing the suitcase at the bottom of the wardrobe.

"Ohh, then do Luo-xiong have a crush?" Wei Wuxian teased.

Luo Binghe spun his head around. "Yes," he cried.

Wei Wuxian: "..."

Wei Wuxian: "O-oh, that's great, Luo-xiong! Yeah, that's great!" Wei Wuxian gave Luo Binghe the thumbs up from where he sat on the bed.

Luo Binghe looked at his suitcase, suddenly depressed. "It's great if he likes me back."

Wei Wuxian now feels bad. He hopped up from the bed and hurried to pat Luo Binghe on the back and said, "Of course, he'll like you back! Even if he doesn't, the worst he could do is reject you and call you ugly! And we all know that's not true!"

Luo Binghe stared at him. Wei Wuxian felt like he should just shut up. It seemed as if blood was about to trickle down from Luo Binghe's mouth. Shen Yuan rejecting me? Shen Yuan-ge calling me ugly???

Wei Wuxian: "...L-Luo-xiong..."

Hua Cheng came just in time to save him. Hua Cheng walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his neck.

Wei Wuxian jumped up. "Um, I'll go take a shower now!!"

Hua Cheng felt the air blow as Wei Wuxian sped past him to the bathroom. "...What's with him now?" Hua Cheng commented. Hua Cheng took the towel off his neck. They heard the shower faucet turning on and an oh crap! came from within the bathroom.

"It's nothing," Luo Binghe said glumly, standing up. "I'll go make us something to eat."

Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow as he watched Luo Binghe drag his feet to the kitchen.

Then he walked to the bed and sat down. He took out his phone. Xie Lian had sent him a text.

。。。

。。。

。。。

In the kitchen, Luo Binghe was having some trouble. The kitchen looked clean and neat but it couldn't fool Luo Binghe. Everything was clearly not updated. The stove wouldn't turn on.

"..."

Luo Binghe walked out of the kitchen. "Hey, you guys... You guys don't happen to pack anything edible in your bags?"

Hua Cheng and Wei Wuxian (who just came out of the shower) looked up.

Wei Wuxian: "No."

Hua Cheng: "I got some goldfish."

Luo Binghe: "..."

Luo Binghe: "The stove doesn't work."

Wei Wuxian's face turned startled. "Luo-xiong... Don't tell me we have to eat goldfish crackers tonight!"

Hua Cheng: "You won't."

Wei Wuxian sighed. "Thank god!"

Hua Cheng continued, "I don't have enough to share, guess you'll starve."

Wei Wuxian gasped.

Luo Binghe: "..."

Luo Binghe: "We can go to the cafeteria, you know?"

"Noo, I don't want to have cafeteria food!" Wei Wuxian fussed. "Oh!" a lightbulb appeared near Wei Wuxian's head. "I know! Hold on, you guys." Wei Wuxian whipped out his phone- oh wait. His phone was still at Aunt Luo's.

Wei Wuxian sighed. Not having a phone is surely inconvenient! "Hua-xiong, gimme your phone."

Hua Cheng: "How about no."

Wei Wuxian turned to Luo Binghe. "Luo-xiongg."

Luo Binghe gave Wei Wuxian his phone. Wei Wuxian thanked him and quickly punched in Lan Wangji's number.

After a while, Wei Wuxian looked up. "Great news, guys! My penfriend said we can go to his dorm to cook!"

Luo Binghe looked confused. "Your penfriend? The one that never showed up?"

Wei Wuxian waved a hand to diminish. "Oh, we are good now. Turns out his phone broke and he was at his music competition thing."

Luo Binghe only looked even more confused. "So, you gave him your phone? Is that why you don't have your phone?"

"What, of course not! Ah, never mind, let's just go!" Wei Wuxian pushed a perplexed Luo Binghe out of the dorm, with Hua Cheng following languidly behind.

The three boys went up a floor and stopped at the fourth door on the right.

Wei Wuxian knocked and the door opened and a pair of golden eyes met his.

"Hiya, Lan Zhan!" Wei Wuxian greeted. "We met again!"

"Wei Ying." Lan Wangji stepped aside to let them in.

As he walked past, Hua Cheng spoke up. "Do I know you?"

Lan Wangji: "...?"

Hua Cheng looked at him up and down. "Aren't you Lan Xichen? We shook hands at the art competition ceremony."

Wei Wuxian laughed out loud. "Hua-xiong! This is Lan Zhan! Xichen-xiong is his brother!"

"Huh." Hua Cheng commented.

Lan Wangji: "..."

"Wow, anyway, nice place you have here, Lan Zhan!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed. It was so neat and orderly that Wei Wuxian wanted to knock over a book or vase for it to look more natural.

"Mn. Thank you."

"Alright, so who's cooking?" Wei Wuxian asked.

"Me." Lan Wangji and Luo Binghe said in unison.

"..."

Before anything else can happen, a voice call from the front door.

"Wangji-xiong! Your door was unlocked so we are letting ourselves in! We don't feel like having takeouts today, do you mind cooking for us??"

"..." Lan Wangji closed his eyes in dismay. Suddenly there were seven people in the tiny dorm.

Wei Wuxian was pleasantly surprised. Shi-xiong, Xie-xiong, and Shen-xiong! What are they doing here?? Wei Wuxian turned to Luo Binghe to introduce them to him.

Except Luo Binghe had disappeared. "E-eh?" Wei Wuxian turned to see Luo Binghe in front of Shen Qingqiu.

"Shen Yuan! What are you doing here? It's so nice to see you!" Luo Binghe exclaimed, clasping his hands together.

"Hello, Binghe." Shen Qingqiu looked at him. "Um, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, the kitchen from the dorm my classmates and I are staying in doesn't work, so we decided to cook here," Luo Binghe explained.

"Ah, I see." Even though it wasn't Shen Qingqiu's fault, Shen Qingqiu still felt a bit responsible for that. After all, he was part of Qingfeng and the school should have done restorations.

To make it up to Luo Binghe, Shen Qingqiu said, "So, I suppose I can try your cooking soon?"

Luo Binghe was smiling from ear to ear. "Mn!"

On the other side, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian met eyes to eye.

They mouthed, "Gege!" and, "San Lang!"

They smiled knowingly at each other.

Shi Qingxuan: "..."

Shi Qingxuan: "So!!"

Everyone turned to look at him.

The boy grinned.

"Who's cooking?"

。。。

。。。 (Who's voting?) ^o^

。。。

Luo Binghe stood in front of the stove.

Today was the day he will put all his cooking skills to the test. Luo Binghe must make sure that Shen Qingqiu will be impressed with his cooking!

Perhaps Shen Yuan would fall in love with his cooking and perhaps in return, Shen Yuan would...!!! o(≧▽≦)o

Lan Wangji: "... excuse me." Lan Wangji slid a tray over the counter.

Luo Binghe: "..."

Lan Wangji: "..."

The two worked in silence.

Meanwhile, the ones that were cooking, were on their phones. Waiting for the food to be served to their mouths, I supposed.

"Hmph!" Shi Qingxuan suddenly voiced.

Xie Lian looked up from playing Fruit Cultivators with Hua Cheng. "Something wrong, Qingxuan?" he asked.

"I text He Xuan to hang out but he said he'll pass," Shi Qingxuan said, upset. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes and said loudly, "I guess he just can't be bothered."

Xie Lian: "Ah..."

Truthfully, Xie Lian thought it might be better that way. Any more people and they really would have no space in the tiny living room.

Soon, the food was ready.

There were not enough chairs so they scrapped the table idea and sat in the center of the room in a circle, eating from their laps. Luo Binghe made sure he snagged the spot next to Shen Qingqiu.

But before anyone could really dig in, Shi Qingxuan had to take some photos to post on his Weibo.

Click, click, click.

Okay, now, everyone can eat.

"Wow, Wangji-xiong and Luo-xiong, these are so yummy!"

"Mn. Thank you."

"Shen Yuan, do you like that? I made that."

"It's not bad. It's good."

"San Lang, have some water."

Then there was a knock on the door.

Shi Qingxuan hurried up and said, "I'll get it!"

Shi Qingxuan hurried to the front door and opened it.

A boy with black hair and dark brown eyes was on the other side. He was holding a phone.

"I changed my mind."

Shi Qingxuan: "..."

Shi Qingxuan: "Aw, He Xuan-

He Xuan: "Where's the food?"

Shi Qingxuan: "....."

。。。

。。。

。。。

After a while, not even a speck of food was left.

Everyone had eaten their fill and a little bit more. And no one felt like moving.

"Ah... I'm bored," Shi Qingxuan groused.

He Xuan stood up. "I'll leave now."

"No!" Shi Qingxuan grabbed his ankle. "You are staying!"

"..." He Xuan sat back down on the floor.

Wei Wuxian clapped his hands together.

"Let's play truth or dare!"

Shi Qingxuan's face lit up.

The next day, things started a bit hectic.

Case in point:

"Ugh! What is this ugly thing?!"

"It's just our school uniform, what are you saying, Wei Wuxian?!"

"If no one's going to take the last blueberry muffin, I'm eating it."

"School uniform? School uniform?? What is school uniform??? Our school never has such things!"

"Well, ours does! So shut up and wear them!"

"I'm not even part of your school, why do I have to wear them?? They are tracksuits! Tracksuits!!! Are you telling me this is a prison??"

"How dare you! Prison tracksuits are orange!!"

"I thought they were black and white-!"

"Qingxuan, that's pajamas."

"Anyway, I don't want to wear this!!"

"Well, either you wear them or I'm forcing them on you!"

"Wei Ying, I think you should just listen to Shen Yuan-ge."

"Oi! Luo-xiong! I can't believe this! Whatever happened to bros before hoes??"

"Excuse me? Are you calling me a hoe?!"

"Gege, let's just leave them."

"Ah..."

"..."

To Luo Binghe

Truth: If you have to save either Wei Ying or Shen Yuan-ge from being thrown into a gigantic container of green tea, and you can only save one, who will you save?

P.S.- So I timed how long it takes me to edit a chapter before publishing (checking grammar and the annoying stuff) and it's nearly an hour! It's almost 11 pm already... =o=
