finding love.

•🌿-🌿-🌿•

Lan Zhan narrows his eyes at the girl, and she would be lying if she said she wasn't intimidated by him. A little cough escapes her as she rummages through her bag for her phone.

" What do you mean by that? ", the lad mutters, his deep voice sends shivers down her spine. And not in a good way, yes, she is scared.

" Haha, by what? "

" You know what I'm talking about. "

" No, I don't. ", She denies, shaking her head with an awkward laugh.

Wangji softly sighs, leaning his back against the seat. " Why would he be jealous of me? It's not like I'm even interested in you. ", He let those words left his mouth ever so easy, even though this heart basically throbs inside its cage.

The girl blinks her eyes twice while looking at him in disbelief, ' He can't be serious.. '

" You shouldn't act like this either. ", The lad glares, his voice cold. " He clearly likes you, why do you need to play with his feelings like this? "

She brings the back of her hands to her mouth, not that close to her lips to avoid smudging, as she tries to hold back the giggle that was about to escape her mouth. " I assure you, handsome. ", She picks up and unlocks her phone. " I'm not interested in him either. "

" Then why are you here with him? "

" Dude chill. What if we're friend? I met him just for the money. ", She shrugs to which Lan Zhan frowns at.

" He owes you money? "

" Eeh, not quite but you could say so. "

Lan Zhan was quiet for a moment, thinking why would Wei Ying reacted like that if they're just a friend. ' He's clearly jealous, it's obvious that he likes her or else why would he dashed away from the table like that. ' His eyes fall on the girl next to him which is busy typing on her phone, ' She's so oblivious. '

" Why are you looking at me like that? Still doubting me? ", She jokes without tearing her gaze from the phone, " He's not my type. He's not even that cute. My cat's way cuter. ", She grins stupidly.

" Nothing could tops Wei Ying's cuteness. ", Lan Zhan blankly replies.

The girl psh-ed, scrolling through her phone, " Nah. That's not true. "

" It is. "

She chuckles, leaning her face against her palm, " Aye bro, you like him so much. You're whipped. ", She points her index finger at the boy with a smirk plastered on her face.

Lan Zhan's face is as impassive as ever, despite the red pair of ears. " There's no need to make it more obvious. "

She laughs, " Sorry bro. ", she apologizes, dusting off the invisible dust on the taller's shouder. " You must be so uncomfortable haha, sorry again. "

" Am I really that obvious? ", Lan Zhan mutters loud enough for the girl to hear.

" You being uncomfy? Really obvious dude. "

" I mean ..my feelings for him.. "

An oooh comes from the girl as response. She pats the the latter on his back, to which the boy cringed at. " Oh god, you really hate girls. ", She withdraws her hand back.

" Not hate. Dislike. "

She nods as she takes a sip of the strawberry Fraps the waitress sent to their table when they were talking, " By the way, yeah. It was very obvious you like him. "

" ..ugrhh.. ", A groan so small comes from the student as he covers his face with both hands. ..Ah ..How can I face him after this..

" Hey, don't be so frustrated. I don't think that boy knows tho. "

" He knew. ", His voice muffled by the big hands covering his face.

" He doesn't know. Trust me. Or else why would I be here- ", Her eyes immediately went wide as she coughs uncontrollably, bringing her palm to cover her mouth.

Lan Zhan pries his palms off his face to look at the girl, " What do you mean? "

" Nothing. Haha. "

She clears her throat, scooting slightly before nudging the taller with her elbow, " Why don't you confess your feelings to him? "

" I've tried.. ", He mumbled without looking at her.

" So what happened? Rejected? "

" He doesn't remember. "

" How even? "

" He fainted. "

She opens her mouth, only to close it back before nodding slowly, " I'm not gonna ask why. "

A moment of awkward silence surrounds them. The girl clears her throat before fixing her gaze on Lan Zhan, eyeing him with her big doe eyes.

Lan Zhan stares at her without any emotions evident in his eyes. " What? "

" I think you should confess. "

" No, he likes you. "

" For god's sake. ", She sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose in distress. " I bet you a thousand dollars. He doesn't likes me. "

" I don't need your money. "

" Bro, I'm not gonna lose any anyway. "

Lan Zhan appears unconvinced, staring at the girl with his usual poker face. The girl sighs, before draping her arm around the boy shoulder.

" What are you- ", Lan Zhan tries to pry her arm off his but she cuts him off.

" What if he likes you back? What if he ran away because he's jealous of me instead? ", She questions, staring at his eyes with her serious ones.

Lan Zhan doesn't knows how to respond to that but he surely felt the way the heat rushes to his cheeks as he grits his teeth.

This caused a snort to escape the girl, " You're blushing. "

" That's boring. ", He mumbles, frowning. His eyes then wander around the cafe, searching for a certain black haired boy. ' He's taking way to long.. '

His time froze when his eyes locked with the boy he's been looking for. He's about to call for him but his heart dropped when he saw the look on the latter's face. The atmosphere becomes heavy all of the sudden. The betrayed look and dissapointed frown on Wei Ying's face when he looks at his friend who has an arm of the girl around his shoulder is killing Lan Zhan inside.

Lan Zhan stands up from his seat, " Wei Ying.. "

The latter scoffs angrily before his legs take him to the exit door of the cafe, rushing out without looking back.

Lan Zhan shoves the girl off him, causing her to frown. He grits his teeth, " Did you see the look on his face? He likes you, not me. Happy now? ", He mutters under his breath.

The girl stares at him as he dashed out from the cafe, shouting his crush's name with eyes filled with worries.

She sighs, " They're so oblivious. ", She shakes her head. A cold hand makes its way to her shoulder causing her to flinch before turning her head to look at the culprit. A handsome tall guy with his hair slicked back stood there with his other hand rubbing the back of his neck.

" Hey.. ", He starts, his eyes avoiding hers.

" How can I help you? ", She asks.

" Can I... number...? ", He mutters under his breath, his voice is so soft, sounding not more than a whisper.

" Excuse me? "

He mustered up his courage to looks at the girl in her eyes, with an obvious blush on his face, " Can I have Wei WuXian's number?  "
