    Summary

    Summary

    "What exactly did he say, didi?" Lan Xichen asks gently, while already hatching elaborate revenge plans in his head.

    Wangji reverts to his mumbling.

    "I couldn’t hear what you said," Lan Xichen says, not without regret. He wants to be able to help, but if whatever this Wei Ying boy told his little brother is truly so horrible…

    "He said," Wangji says, loud as if to defy him — defy this Wei Ying boy, maybe — "that one day, he and I would get married."

    Ah.

    That was, indeed, very rude of him.

    Lan Xichen is an older brother, first and foremost.

    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.
