Different Paths, Same Destination [Battle Through the Heavens: Yan Chen]

The teacher and his little Yan's secret dating life in Zhongzhou (OOC warning). Their story of how they met is in "A Withered Heart Meets Spring."

Xiao Yan accidentally catches sight of a thick stack of envelopes hidden under his teacher's desk. Each envelope carries a different scent, all of them the sort of powdery fragrance that comes from women's makeup. The envelopes are beautifully designed, and several are especially flashy, sure to catch the eye.

Xiao Yan is immediately filled with a terrible premonition. These must be from his teacher's old flames in Zhongzhou!!!

He knows it isn't polite to read his teacher's letters, but curiosity gets the better of him. He carefully opens one...

Yao Chen and Feng Xian drink and chat until midnight, when they finally decide to head back. They'd had a wonderful time drinking today, and Yao Chen muses that nothing beats the liquor at home. He staggers back to his room, opens the door, and sees that Xiao Yan is still awake. He calls out, "I'm back! Why aren't you asleep yet? Were you waiting for me?"

Xiao Yan doesn't answer. He stares coldly at the letter in his hand.

"What are you reading? Why are you ignoring me?" Yao Chen says with a laugh, walking over. He picks up a letter Xiao Yan has already finished reading and set aside. "What's this?"

Still tipsy, Yao Chen glances at the letter, clears his throat, and reads aloud: "My dear Chen, I hope this letter finds you well! I miss you so much..."

Yao Chen's smile freezes on his face. After a moment, he looks up and sneaks a glance at Xiao Yan's dark expression, then picks up another letter.

Yao Chen skims the contents. This one is so bad he doesn't dare read it aloud, and it sobers him right up. He hurriedly snatches the letter from Xiao Yan's hand, sets all the letters on the table ablaze, and stammers, "No, that's not it! Don't listen to their nonsense. Let me explain!"

Xiao Yan snorts. "What is there to explain? You had the nerve to accuse me of flirting with everyone I met."

Yao Chen laughs helplessly. "You only pick out the parts you want to hear, don't you? They make things up in their dreams, and I'm the one who gets blamed?"

"I don't care!" Xiao Yan throws a tantrum.

Yao Chen: "..."
