“Then we’ll find you one.”

RELATIONSHIPS: Jiang Yanli / Jin Zixuan BLURB: pre-relationship beach trip

SUMMARY:

“Do you think I can get away with staying back here all afternoon?” Jin Zixuan asks. Mianmian looks up from where she’s rummaging through her bag.

“I mean, you can, but what’s the point of coming out to the lake with all of us if you’re just going to sit here like a lump?” The point is that he’s only here because Mianmian guilted him into it, and also mentioned that Jiang Yanli would be there, and that was enough for Jin Zixuan to agree to something he has exactly no intention of enjoying.

alternate universe - modern: no powers, day at the beach, background lan zhan | lan wangji/wei ying | wei wuxian, even more background jiang cheng | jiang wanyin/nie huaisang, tattoos, pre-relationship, no beta we die like jzx

Lan WangJi ✔ @lan_wangji

Some of you have never fallen in love with a boy only for him to go missing after his parents die and pine away for three years waiting for him to come back, then continue to pine when he’s back after you realize you’re too scared to confess, and it shows.

23,043 retweets | 73,328 likes

Lan Zhan’s face pales and he buries his head in his hands, letting his phone drop on the table.
