"Come in."
"Little brother, can you really do it?"
"Mm, but..."
Lan Wangji sighed, not knowing how he had become so soft-hearted as to bring the person back home, even though just two hours ago they had been fighting fiercely on the stage. Well... to be fair, it seemed like he was the only one fighting, otherwise this person wouldn't have ended up with a swollen nose, having bled twice on the way back home.
Probably because this person is also very pitiful, definitely not because I think this person looks good. Hmm!
Lan Wangji raised his hand and pretended to cough, unconsciously swallowing his saliva.
"What's the matter?"
Wei Wuxian is best at being clever and acting pitiful. This is a trick he has never failed to use since he was a child, and anyone who sees it will feel a sense of pity. Now, he stands slightly hunched at the door, twisting the sleeves of his shirt, lips slightly pursed, lifting his timid yet hopeful peach blossom eyes, looking at Lan Wangji with watery eyes.
I can't help but feel sorry for this. In Lan Wangji's eyes, Wei Wuxian felt extremely scared of making any unreasonable requests and regretting his offer to stay at his place. Otherwise, Wei Wuxian would have to sleep in the park.
"Don't be nervous, I just don't like it when you call me 'little brother.'"
"Why?"
"I'm not little anymore."
"So, are you very big then?"
Wei Wuxian's gaze naturally fell on Lan Wangji's crotch, but quickly swept past, revealing a shy confirmation of a certain fact that he was embarrassed to admit. This left Lan Wangji momentarily stunned, immediately realizing the ambiguity in the words.
"No... no, I meant age."
"What I said was about age, you thought it was something else, little brother?"
"......"
Wei Wuxian then put on a triumphant smile, and his body naturally relaxed a lot, sending a signal to Lan Wangji—you make me feel safe.
Lan Wangji noticed Wei Wuxian's teasing, and from his relaxed movements, it seems like he's trying to ease his nervousness... right? Speaking of which, he's only known Wei Wuxian for less than three hours, and apart from knowing his name, all the other information he's gathered has been from those helpless eyes. In other words, he knows almost nothing about Wei Wuxian as a person.
" Lan Zhan, just call me Lan Zhan."
" Lan Zhan? Is that your real name that your family calls you?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, then I'll call you Lan Zhan from now on. And since you've told me your real name, you can call me Wei Ying in the future."
"Wei Ying?"
"How is it? Is it nice to hear? Like a carefree and innocent baby, not needing to envy others' lives."
"Mm."
"Your parents..."
"Oh, my parents are not around. There's a distant sister at home, but she's too busy with work and often scolds me. I'm afraid, so I often run out to find something to do on my own."
Wei Wuxian said with his head down, hiding in the dim light, so Lan Wangji did not notice the blatant guilt on his face.
However, from a certain perspective, he didn't really lie. His parents really aren't around, well, not at home, not in Demon City, but are temporarily vacationing abroad; the so-called recognized sister is also real, that is Wen Qing, a promising young doctor who is definitely busy, every time he scolds him it's because he was in the wrong first, but he never scolds for long, he definitely teams up with Wen Ning and runs away.
In fact, this is just Wei Wuxian's one-sided account, but with his extensive experience and excellent acting skills, Lan Wangji believed him.
" Lan Zhan, so you don't live alone after all."
Lan Wangji had just finished showering when Wei Wuxian asked him while holding a group photo from the end of last year, showing the three uncles and nephews together.
"Well, there's also my uncle and my brother."
Why didn't he ask about his parents? Because just now, Wen Ning sent a message saying that he had found out that Lan Wangji's parents had passed away when he was very young, so Wei Wuxian obediently did not touch this wound. Moreover, in Lan Wangji's eyes now, he is also a child without a father's love or a mother's affection, so naturally he cannot take the initiative to mention his parents, as it would shatter his image.
"Then can I stay at your place tonight? Will your uncle and your brother mind?"
"They won't. My uncle is on a business trip out of town, and my brother is working overtime, so he won't be back tonight."
"Oh, I see."
"You go wash up, I'll go change the sheets and duvet cover for you. Tonight, you'll sleep in my brother's room."
"Huh!?"
"What's wrong?"
"Um... well... you see..."
They've already reached the crucial point. If they don't sleep in the same room, all their efforts will be in vain! But at the moment, they can't think of any logical reason. Sigh, what should they do?
At this moment, a thunder and lightning provided the perfect excuse!
"I'm afraid of thunder! It's dark and thundering when I'm alone, and I'm scared!"
"......"
Lan Wangji Obviously didn't expect that Wei Wuxian, who is only half a head shorter than himself but also 1.8 meters tall, would be afraid of thunder and darkness. Even so, he didn't have the intention of letting Wei Wuxian sleep with him.
At this point, it's not about having a strong fist, but having thick skin.
" Lan Zhan, can I sleep with you?"
"I... I have never slept with anyone before."
"I have slept with someone before."
For some reason, Lan Wangji felt a sudden tightness in his chest and subconsciously furrowed his brow. Unhappy, but why?
"However, that was when I was very young. Every time there was thunder and lightning in the summer, my parents knew I was scared, so they would sleep with me. Actually, there were a few years in the middle when I wasn't afraid, but the night my parents left, there was also thunder and lightning."
Wei Wuxian's acting skills can be said to be perfect. The more he talks, the more his emotions seem to decline, even his eyes look like withered peach blossoms. After speaking, he pretends to be scared by the thunder but endures it, taking a small step closer to Lan Wangji.
Once again, with his head hanging down, once again muttering to himself that he hadn't lied, when his parents left for vacation, the moment their flight took off from Shanghai, the city was hit by a storm with thunder and lightning, in short, it was really scary! But he only took a photo and posted it on his social media, complaining "this awful weather."
He was so pitiful that Lan Wangji had no reason to refuse, whether out of sympathy or some other vague reason, he agreed to Wei Wuxian's proposal. However, when Wei Wuxian finished showering and appeared in front of him wearing his short-sleeved shirt and shorts, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Fair and tender, although the muscles are not as well-trained as his own, the advantage lies in the attractive body shape. Even the always calm and steady Lan Wangji realized for the first time that he also likes to look at slender waists, perky buttocks, and long legs.
Lan Wangji cleared his throat, took the pillow from the side and placed it on his lap, and even seemingly unintentionally pressed it down. This action was simply too obvious.
"Your clothes have a smell."
"Huh? They should be clean."
"My point is, it smells quite nice, and I really like it."
Being beautiful but unaware of it is a common problem for beauties. When a beauty smiles and speaks to someone, it is a moment of great challenge for the other person. What's even more deadly is that this beauty has just taken a bath, and her whole body is exuding a sweet, damp fragrance.
"You also smell good," Lan Wangji said, and then he froze completely. He didn't know how he could have said such a thing, especially to someone he had just met, and he was worried that it might come across as harassment. Clearly, his thoughts were unnecessary.
"What flavor?"
"Ah... ah?"
"You said I smell good, but I can't smell it, so I asked you."
"It's a bit like milk, and also a bit like floral fragrance."
So that's it. Wei Wuxian usually uses goat milk soap, body lotion with added milk, and peach-scented shower gel and scrub. Even the air freshener at home is peach-scented. After using them for several years, his body would naturally have a scent of milk with a hint of floral fragrance. Of course, he wouldn't tell Lan Wangji about this, at least not now.
"I think I've heard of..."
"Hmm?"
"A person can smell a special fragrance on the person they like."
"......"
"It seems that I'm quite likable."
Lan Wangji is really in a difficult situation, feeling conflicted because Wei Wuxian doesn't seem to have grown up in a deprived or oppressive environment, but rather like a child from a happy family. Yet Wei Wuxian is truly pitiful and helpless, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to that place for a fight and ended up getting punched by himself.
Looking at Wei Wuxian's still swollen nose, Lan Wangji feels that he is not quite normal today. Bringing someone he just met home is not normal, thinking so much in his mind is not normal, and agreeing to let someone sleep with him is even more abnormal. Huh? Right! Sleeping together!
Lan Wangji was lost in thought and didn't speak. Strangely, Wei Wuxian also remained silent, just sitting on the sofa hugging his knees, quietly watching Lan Wangji. More accurately, it was "admiring."
The high bridge of the nose, adorable wind-catching ears, sharply defined jawline, prominent Adam's apple... so good-looking no matter how you looked at it! Unfortunately, the heavens rudely interrupted this harmonious and subtly ambiguous atmosphere.
"Boom——!"
This was a shocking thunderclap that startled the bewildered Wei Wuxian. Reacting quickly, he, in accordance with his first priority of preserving his image, lunged towards Lan Wangji: Step one, push away the pillow on Lan Wangji's leg; step two, wrap his arms around Lan Wangji's neck; step three, curl up as much as possible in Lan Wangji's embrace, trembling slightly; and finally, in a quavering voice, he said:
" Lan Zhan......"
This wave of output successfully allowed Wei Wuxian to sneak into Lan Wangji's bed, and it was Lan Wangji who personally carried him there, in a princess carry!!!
" Lan Zhan, will it affect your sleep?"
"No, it won't."
How is it possible that he wouldn't know? Lan Wangji has been sleeping alone since he was two years old. Even when Lan Xichen sleeps next to him, he's not used to it. But tonight, facing Wei Wuxian, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"My sleeping habits might not be very good. If I disturb you in the middle of the night, just wake me up."
"It's okay."
"Really?"
"Mm."
" Lan Zhan, thank you, you're really kind! Even though you punched me today, I won't hold it against you since you took me in."
"How's your nose? Does it still hurt?"
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much if I don't touch it, but if I do... Ouch! Ooh~"
"What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just lightly bumped into something, didn't expect it to hurt so much."
"Let me take you to the hospital tomorrow for an X-ray."
"No need, I'll be fine in a few days."
Lan Wangji thought he was afraid of spending money, but Wei Wuxian's real concern was that going to the hospital and using medical insurance would reveal something.
"Don't worry, I injured your nose, so I'll cover the medical expenses."
"You sound like you're very wealthy."
"......"
"I know, people who go to places like that to box are definitely pushed to that point by life. I didn't have that feeling before, but now it's different."
What's different? Probably because the people I've met are different, and there is not just one person who feels compassion."
"I don't have money, but I must take responsibility for you."
"Huh? Responsibility?"
This is indeed a bit surprising. How did we end up discussing such a serious topic like responsibility while taking X-rays at the hospital? Well, Lan Wangji didn't feel that he was wrong. He really does want to take responsibility.
"Are you sure?"
"Mm."
Wei Wuxian didn't respond further, seemingly accepting Lan Wangji's proposal to take responsibility for himself. Some people want to take responsibility but don't know the consequences of taking responsibility. It's not Wei Wuxian's fault if things get difficult afterwards.
After several times of acting scared of thunder, Wei Wuxian finally quieted down after 2 a.m., still tightly holding onto Lan Wangji's arm. His hands happened to press on the bruised area, but Lan Wangji didn't feel any pain. Instead, he felt a strange sense of joy. After some time, Lan Wangji, who was not used to sharing a bed with someone, finally stopped staring and fell asleep while holding Wei Wuxian's hand.
The thunder and lightning stopped just in time, and a faint light seeped through the slightly open curtains, casting a slanting beam onto the bed. The blankets rose and fell slowly, and Wei Wuxian nestled in Lan Wangji's arms, falling asleep contentedly.
