Summary: In Gusu, there is a story about the most beautiful man in the world—and the wager he gives to anyone who wants to take his hand in marriage. Being from Yunmeng, however, Wei Wuxian doesn't hear a word about this story until his aimless wandering brings him to the outskirts of Caiyi Town. (in which there is wei wuxian, a rabbit, and a secret.)

Kay's comments: Ah, this story! I've originally read the thread-fic on twitter; it was one of my favourites and the ao3 version doesn't disappoint either! The summary says it all and Wei Wuxian, during his time in Caiyi, befriends both Lan Wangji and his rabbit, xiao-tuzi and their interactions are very adorable. It's a very sweet, short get-together story and of course, who else could ever hope to gain the key to Lan Wangji's heart than Wei Wuxian?

Excerpt: When he unties Little Apple from her post the next day, Wei Wuxian isn't surprised that Lan Wangji didn't show up. What he is surprised by though, is the white, floppy-eared bunny perched on Little Apple's saddle. "Hi there," Wei Wuxian says cautiously. "You're not—Lan Zhan's rabbit, are you?" The bunny only twitches its tiny nose and tilts its head adorably. There's also a key attached to a chain around its neck, nearly hidden in the thick fur. …It's Lan Wangji's rabbit. Of course it is. Wei Wuxian sighs. "You can sit there if you'd like," he tells it, "but we're gonna have to share the space." Wei Wuxian is mildly disappointed that he's spending his morning with a donkey and a bunny, rather than a donkey and a beautiful man, but he appreciates the company nonetheless.
