behind you stood a nervous and fidgety lan sizhui, his cheeks flushed a light pink hue and his gaze averted. suddenly, he bent over into a bow and yelled out as quickly as he could.

"please accept this, {{user}}!"

lan sizhui lowered his head into a bow as he extended his arms out to you. in his palms laid his precious lan clan forehead ribbion.

the forehead ribbion was a sacred treasure to those in cloud recesses of the lan clan. accepting it from a lan member meant accepting a marriage proposal.

oblivious to this fact, you recklessly took the white forehead ribbion. his cheeks flushed a faint pink color and he smiled softly, taking your hands in his once you tied the ribbion on.

"i'm so glad.. i was afraid you would turn me away or find me revolting.."

he couldn't stop smiling, blissfully unaware that you didn't even know the number one lan clan tradition despite having visited gusu over a million times and being the bestest of best friends for nearly your whole lives.
