the inn part 1

Jingyi, "uh I'll just-….get another room, I'm sure I h-..have the money." He knew he didn't have the money, he left his pouch at the Cloud Recesses.

Sizhui, "i-it's alright, I guess….we'll just sleep with separate blankets."

Jingyi, "r-right."

The two boys went downstairs to find Zizhen and Jin ling, who were casually sitting and drinking alcohol. Jingyi smelled the alcohol, "ugh! That shit stinks like your dog's ass!" 

Jin ling, "this is pure delight right here!" He pointed to the shot glass, slightly drunk. Zizhen laughed drunkenly, "is this heaven?"

Jin ling, "come have a drink, unless you want to waste your years away!"

Jingyi, "Hanguang-Jun will blow a fuse if he finds out!"

Zizhen, "does he have to know?"

Sizhui, "but we would be breaking two rules of the sect, 'lying is prohibited in Cloud Recesses' and 'alcohol is prohibited in Cloud Recesses'."

Jin ling, "two key words: 'prohibited in Cloud Recesses'." 

Both Jingyi and Sizhui still debated on whether or not they should be drinking but in the end, Jingyi gave in. The Lan sect was known for its abstinence in basically everything but especially, their intolerance towards alcohol, Lan wangji could knock out after one sip so just imagine these juniors' tolerance. Wrong, they could tolerate much more then just a few shots, they already drank a whole bottle.

Sizhui was a 'lightweight', at least for the other three juniors, but Jingyi was surprisingly heavy on alcohol. He had already drunk three bottles and was on his fourth. Jin ling, "aren't you from the Lan sect? How can you tolerate alcohol so well?"

Jingyi, "I don't know, young mistress Jin." He was still sober enough to bicker with Jin ling.

Jin ling, "fuck off."

Even though Sizhui was half-drunk, he could still comprehend what was going on, "if Hanguang-Jun finds out, we're fucked."

The whole group was stunned, frozen in place, Jingyi even dropped his empty shot cup.

Jingyi, "did-did you just cuss? Our legendary, ascetic, Hanguang-Jun like, abstinent Sizhui?!"

Zizhen, "I guess he's the uncensored foreshadowing drunk."

Zizhen and Jin ling looked at each other, they both winked like they were plotting something but Jingyi and Sizhui were too focused on each other, "Jingyi, you should take Sizhui back your guys' room, me and Jin ling will pay and go to our rooms soon too."

Without realizing it, Jingyi agreed.
