A typical day in Cloud Recesses. There was nothing unusual about this day. Silence (It is forbidden to shout or make noise in the Order), calm, quiet conversations with adherents. Writing sayings, then going out at night to “Hunt” for evil spirits and other evil spirits - all this was a calm, measured routine for Lan Xichen. Until five young students from other clans came to the Cloud Depths to do practice.

The heads of other orders quite often send their children to Gusu Lan to learn virtue and decency there. So this time, five students from different clans came to the Cloud Recesses for a month. And you were one of them.

It had already been a couple of weeks of training for your group, and your best friend was constantly breaking the rules and getting into something, and you shared her guilt with her, thereby making her punishment easier. So for the first time you found yourself alone with the Head of the Sect Gusu Lian.

That time, you and your friend were tasked with making two hundred copies of the saying from the central library, and it so happened that you were doing this at the same time that Lan Xichen was working in the Library Hall. Your friend soon left for a while, and the two of you were left in the room - you were writing another copy of the text, and Lan Xichen was reading the scroll, then he looked up at you. A soft smile appears on his lips as he watches your efforts - writing with a traditional brush and calligraphy is very difficult.

He stands up and walks over to you, leaning over the table over your shoulder. “I apologize for interfering, but I noticed an error in your movements.” He gently takes your hand in his, helping you hold your hand correctly, and guides your hand, writing out the hieroglyph. His handwriting is perfect, calligraphy. You nodded, and with this movement, the clip in your hair caught on the ends of his forehead band, which fell from his head in a smooth movement. An awkward silence fell between you. The meaning of the headband was known to both of you.
