Lan WangJi had suddenly been pushed onto the ground, shirt forcibly stripped. His face was almost green, "Wei Ying! What do you want to do?!"

"You scared the life out of him." laughed Nie Huaisang.

"You're mischievousness has really reached its peak, a-xian." said Jiang Yanli.

"Nah, that's shamelessness." said Jiang Cheng.

"Will we let just grandmaster Lan unconscious?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"That's for the better." said Jiang Cheng.

"He suffered a minor qi deviation already. Wei Wuxian, you better not let that happen again or we will lose him." said Wen Qing.

"My shufu is a strong man. He won't die." said Wei Wuxian.

"Lan Qiren should really stop overreacting. He already knows that Wei Wuxian is shameless, he should've expected that already." said Jiang Cheng.

"He just can't take it." said Qingheng-jun.

Wei WuXian took off all of his clothes and tore them to shreds, "What do I want to do? Right now, we two are the only ones here. I'm already making it so obvious-what do you think I want to do?"

As he finished, he stood up and drew away his belt sash. As though reciprocating out of courtesy, he revealed his own chest as well.

"A-niang, what are trying to do?" asked Sizhui.

"Are we going to watch a live porn?" asked Nie Huaisang.

"For goddamn sake, Nie Huaisang. They're only seventeen." said Jiang Cheng.

"You guys are thinking too much. Even if I want that, we can't since my Lan Zhan has a broken leg." said Wei Wuxian.

"Nothing can stop a horny person." said Jin Ling.

"So you're saying that they really did something?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"No, they didn't do anything of sort." said Jin Ling.

Jiang Cheng sighed in relief while Nie Huaisang sighed in disappointment.

With deep-set collarbones, the lines of his torso flowed smoothly. Although it almost flaunted its adolescence, it was full of youthful energy and strength.

Watching his movements, Lan WangJi's complexion switched between pale, dark, and flustered. His blood seemed to boil to the point of having to burst out from between his lips. Wei WuXian smiled and walked one step closer. Right in front of Lan WangJi's face, he took off his own drenched coat. He raised it up with one hand before releasing his grip, letting it fall to the ground.

Wei WuXian shrugged, palms facing out, "Now that the shirts are gone, it's time for the trousers."

"Don't you f*cking dare!" shouted Jiang Cheng.

"Chill, ChengCheng." laughed Wei Ying.

"Wei Ying, that isn't funny." said Lan Wangji.

"But, Lan Zhan." said Wei Wuxian with a pout.

"You better not continue that, Wuxian. Wangji's forehead isn't in his forehead to restraint him." said Lan Xichen.

"If you won't stop, maybe we will watch what Huaisang is saying." he added with a chuckle.

Lan WangJi wanted to get up, but his leg was injured. Due to the fight that they had gone through and the fury within him, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't do it. His entire body felt worn out. With an intense rage, he really did cough up a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang laughed at that.

"Wei Wuxian, you really reached his limits." said Jin Zixuan.

"Shufu lose consciousness over nothing." said Wei Wuxian.

"He just prepared himself." said Jiang Cheng.

Seeing this, Wei WuXian immediately squatted down and tapped a few of the acupoints on his chest, "Alright, the bad blood is out. No need to thank me!"

After the mouthful of blackish blood had been spat out, Lan WangJi immediately felt the pain and irritation within his chest lift away. Looking back on what Wei WuXian did, he finally realized.

As they climbed up Dusk-creek Mountain, Wei WuXian found that Lan WangJi looked worse than usual. It must've been that an energy of gloom had collected within his chest, so he purposely tried to scare and provoke him, so that he could let out the blood that he had been holding in.

"There's a lot of other way to do that." said Wen Qing.

"But Wei Wuxian will always use his shamelessness." said Jiang Cheng.

"Wei Ying should warn me." said Lan Wangji.

"Then, it won't work." said Wei Wuxian.

"You should really warn him, a-niang. So that nothing will go wrong." said Sizhui.

"What could go wrong?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"I might be born quickly." said Sizhui and the juniors burts out laughing.

"Then, my parents will make me a year after." laughed Jingyi in which he receive a smack from Jiang Cheng.

Although he knew that it was out of good will, Lan WangJi still seemed a bit annoyed, "... Can you not make this kind of joke again?!"

Wei WuXian protested, "It's very unhealthy for blood like this to be held in. It gets out with just a scare, though. Don't worry-I don't like men, I won't take advantage of the opportunity and do anything to you."

Lan WangJi, "Ridiculous!"

Wei Wuxian grinned at Lan Wangji.

"Don't like men?" laughed Nie Huaisang and Jin Zixuan.

"Wei Ying?" asked Lan Wangji.

"That's just a joke, Lan Zhan. My future self is just silly." said Wei Wuxian.

"Really? I doubt that." said Jiang Cheng.

"You always have doubts." said Wei Wuxian.

"It's not even necessary to say, Wei-xiong. You hurt Wangji-xiong's feelings." said Nie Huaisang.

"Lan Zhan." said Wei Wuxian.

"I forgive, Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji.

"Just don't do that again, a-niang." said Sizhui.

Wei Wuxian could only nod his head.

Wei WuXian found out long ago that Lan WangJi's temper was especially bad today. He didn't protest any further and waved his hand, "Okay, okay. Ridiculous it is. I'm ridiculous. I'm the most ridiculous there is."

"Wei Ying isn't ridiculous." said Lan Wangji.

"But, you just said he is. And for me, he is the most ridiculous and disgusting man." said Jin Zixun.

Lan Wangji glared at him.

"Who are you? Do we know you? We're not asking for your opinion." said Wei Wuxian.

"You better shut up, Zixun." said Jin Zixuan.

"Ever since you've found out that you have with that maiden Jiang you started to side and defend them. What is wrong with you, cousin?" asked Jin Zixun.

"Firstly, don't call my future wife that. Show some respect to her, your future Madam Jin. Second, I am not siding and defending anyone, I'm just saying what I think is for the better." said Jin Zixuan.

Jin Zixun just scoffed at him.

As he spoke, the cold, underground air climbed up his spine, causing him to shudder. He immediately stood up, gathered a pile of dead leaves and branches, and drew the fire talisman on his palm again.

The leaves and branches crunched into flames, letting off a few sparks once in a while. Wei WuXian ground up the herbs that he had picked out. Ripping the trouser leg open, he sprinkled them evenly over the three hideous holes that had just barely ceased to bleed.

"Those wounds, it dirty my Lan Zhan's leg." said Wei Wuxian.

"Don't be so dramatic." said Jiang Cheng.

"It doesn't mean that it won't during healing." he added.

"But, what about the scar?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Isn't that great? Those will represent the time he have saved you from death." said Jiang Cheng.

"I've noticed that, as time passes by, Jiang-xiong is becoming romantic." said Nie Huaisang.

"I'm just saying the truth." said Jiang Cheng with a glare but the man just snickered at him.

Suddenly, Lan WangJi raised his arm and stopped him. Wei WuXian asked, "What's wrong?"

Without speaking a word, Lan WangJi took out some of the herbs from his palm and pressed them onto Wei Wuxian's chest.

Wei WuXian's entire body trembled as he exclaimed, "Ah!"

"Lan Zhan, why did you do that?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Because he hates you." said Su She.

"You can speak again?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Is there any silencing spell that last forever?" he asked.

"There is." said Wen Rouhan.

"What is it, then?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Death." said Wen Rouhan.

"You're giving me dark thoughts." said Jiang Cheng.

"But, I never hated Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji.

"Take note of that." he added.

"I know that, Lan Zhan. That's why I don't mind it." said Wei Wuxian.

He had forgotten that there was a fresh wound on himself as well, created by the iron. It was also still bleeding and had also been soaked in water.

Lan WangJi took his hand away. Wei WuXian hissed a few times, then peeled away, bit by bit, the herbs that had been pressed onto his chest, tossing them onto Lan WangJi's leg again, "Don't mind me. I get hurt a lot, and I play in Lotus Lake as usual even when I'm hurt. I got used to it a long time ago. How many herbs can there be inside a small perfume sachet? There isn't enough to begin with. I think that those three holes of yours need them more... Ah!"

"Give yourself some, a-xian." said Jiang Yanli.

"Don't worry too much about others. Take care of yourself too." she added.

"Yeah, right. Even Lan Wangji wanted you to heal yourself too, then why are giving it back? Think about yourself even once. The world doesn't revolve around them. Stop being like that." said Jiang Cheng.

"But, I grew up like that." said Wei Wuxian.

"Who taught you that?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Don't grew up to protect others. Grew up for yourself." he added.

"Don't always think of others, think of yourself too." he added again.

"Jiang Cheng, I never expect this from you." laughed Wei Wuxian.

"Thank you, didi." he added but Jiang Cheng just frowned at him.

Lan WangJi's face was dark. A moment later, he replied, "If you know that it hurts, do not be so rash next time."

Wei WuXian, "It's not like I had any other choice, right? Do you think I enjoy being burned? Who would've known that Wang LingJiao is so heartless. She almost pressed the iron into the eye. MianMian is a girl, and quite a pretty girl, at that. If she was blind in an eye or such a thing gets onto her face, it wouldn't be able to come off for the rest of her life. How bad would that be?"

Lan WangJi spoke in a thin voice, "The thing on your body right now will not be able to come off for the rest of your life either."

Wei WuXian, "That's different. It's not on the face. And I'm a man- what am I scared of? In a man's life, how can he not get a few wounds and earn a few scars?"

"Wangji is just mad because you hurt yourself for a maiden." said Lan Xichen.

"He's jealous." Jiang Cheng added.

"Jingyi, your parents are teaming up to my Lan Zhan." laughed Wei Wuxian.

"Because it's true." said Jingyi.

"What? Lan Zhan is really jealous?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Wei-daijiu, just how oblivious are you?" asked Jin Ling.

Wei Wuxian pouted at him.

His upper body bare, he was squatting on the ground as he picked up a branch and poked at the flames for it to burn brighter, "And, if you think from another perspective, even though this won't be able to come off, it represents the fact that I protected a maiden. And the maiden will definitely remember me after this. She won't be able to forget me for the rest of her life. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite..."

Suddenly, Lan WangJi shoved him hard, raging, "So you also know that she will not be able to forget you for the rest of her life!!!"

Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang, and Jin Zixuan was laughing.

"I pray for your soul, MianMian." said Nie Huaisang.

"I have no plans on ruining your relationship, Lan-er-gongzi. But, I will forever be grateful for what your lover did to save me." said MianMian.

"Don't be jealous anymore, Lan Zhan." said Wei Wuxian.

"You really can't stop your mouth sometimes, Wei Wuxian. I wonder how Lan Wangji keep up with you? I bet he's always jealous." said Jiang Cheng.

"You hit the point, Sect Leader Jiang." said Zizhen.

"Don't be so formal. Just call him, Cheng-jiujiu." said Jiang Yanli.

Zizhen nod happily.

Collapsed on the ground, he broke into a cold sweat from the pain, moaning with his neck stretched forward, "... Lan Zhan, you... Have I done something to you?! ... This would be enough revenge to pay for killing your father!"

Hearing this, Lan WangJi clenched his fists.

"Do you really have to mention that?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"I really have foul mouth." said Wei Wuxian.

"It's okay, Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji.

"It's nothing, second son-in-law." said Qingheng-jun.

A moment later, he relaxed, seeming as if he wanted to help Wei WuXian up. However, Wei WuXian sat up on his own and shrunk backward a couple of times, "Fine, fine! I know you don't like me. Then I'll sit farther away. Don't come here! Don't push me again. It's so painful."

"I'm sorry, Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji as he rubbed Wei Wuxian's back as if easing the pain.

"It's nothing, Lan Zhan. Yiu don't have to say sorry." said Wei Wuxian.

"It's my fault for not minding the words I said to you." he added.

"I understand." said Lan Wangji.

"I won't do that again." he added.

The wound was on his left side, so it began to hurt whenever he raised his left arm. Wei WuXian shrunk to the side. Picking up the white clothes that had been torn into strips, he tossed them toward Lan WangJi using his right hand, "You can bind it yourself. I'm not gonna go over."

Then, he moved the clothes that he had taken off to the fire for them to dry up.

"Funny how your face shows that you're sulking." laughed Jiang Cheng.

"And cute." said Wei Wuxian.

"You're far from that." said Jiang Cheng.

"Wei Yinh is cute." said Lan Wangji.

"See, a Lan don't lie." said Wei Wuxian.

Jiang Cheng just shakes his head.

A while had passed, and neither had spoken. Wei WuXian began again, "Lan Zhan, you really are so strange today. You're so rude. And you aren't talking like yourself either."

Lan WangJi, "If you do not have those intentions, then do not flirt with others. You are doing as you please, yet others will be in turmoil."

Wei WuXian, "It's not like you're the one whom I'm flirting with, so it wouldn't be you who's in turmoil either, unless..."

"He's jealous." said Nie Huaisang.

"Okay, I get it. Lan Zhan is jealous." said Wei Wuxian.

"So he finally knows Wangji's feelings." said Lan Xichen as he got excited.

"I don't think so. He will probably say something different." said Jiang Cheng.

Lan WangJi asked harshly, "Unless what?"

Wei WuXian, "Unless, Lan Zhan, you like MianMian!"

Jiang Cheng burst out laughing.

"Really? Wei-xiong?" asked Nie Huaisang.

"I told you, it's bad to get your hopes high." said Jiang Cheng.

"Just what is running inside your head, Wei Wuxian?" asked Jin Zixuan.

Wei Wuxian just glared at him.

A moment later, Lan WangJi replied in a cold voice, "Please do not speak nonsense."

Wei WuXian, "Alright, then, I'll speak one-sense."

Lan WangJi, "Is it amusing, trifling with empty words?"

Wei WuXian, "It's very amusing. But, believe me, my words are as much a trifle as my moves are, which means not at all."

"..." Lan WangJi muttered to himself, "Why am I sitting here having such a useless conversation with you?"

"It's good watching them converse like that." said Lan Xichen.

"That's the longest time a-die have spoken so many." said Sizhui.

"They're enjoying each other's company." said Lan Xichen.

"You should talk more often, Lan Zhan." said Wei Wuxian.

"Even if only with me." he added.

"Will do." said Lan Wangji and kissed hid lover on the forehead.

Somehow, Wei WuXian had moved beside him again and sat down, speaking without a care for the consequences, "Because there's no other choice. We're the only two unfortunate souls left here, aren't we? If you don't have useless conversations with me, then who will you have them with?"

Lan WangJi glanced at him, who seemed to forget all past pain as soon as the wounds had healed. Just as Wei WuXian was about to give him a large grin, he suddenly saw Lan WangJi lower his head.

Wei WuXian wailed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh stop!!! Stop stop stop!!!!!!"

"What happened?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Did Lan Wangji assaulted Wei Wuxian?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"I will never." said Lan Wangji.

"You should really stop annoying him." said Jiang Cheng.

Lan WangJi was buried into the crescent of his elbow, biting firmly into his arm. Hearing Wei WuXian, not only did he not stop, his teeth sunk deeper inside.

"Lan Zhan!" exclaimed Wei Wuxian as he shivered.

"Why are you biting me?" he asked.

"Maybe he's letting out his emotions." said Nie Huaisang.

"He can punch a wall, why bite me." asked Wei Wuxian.

"What's wrong with that!" asked Jin Zixuan.

"D-dog." said Wei Wuxian.

"There's no dog." said Jin Zixuan.

"There is, Lan Wangji. You should never bit Wei Wuxian since he has fear of dogs. It reminds him of dogs." said Jiang Cheng as he glared at Lan Wangji.

"Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji and cuddled Wei Wuxian more closer.

"Don't do that again, Lan Zhan." said Wei Wuxian as he snuggled into Lan Wangji's chest who nodded at him.

Wei WuXian, "Are you gonna stop?!?! I'll kick you if you don't! Don't think that I won't kick you just because you're injured!!!!!!"

Wei WuXian, "Stop biting! Stop biting! I'll go away! I'll go away!!! I'll go away, I'll go away if you stop, I'll go away!!!!!!"

Wei WuXian, "Lan Zhan you're mad today!!!!!! You're a dog!!! You're a dog!!!!!!!! Stop biting!!!!"

When Lan WangJi had finally finished his fit and felt satisfied, Wei WuXian sprang up and scrambled to the other side of the cave, "Don't come over!"

"You really scared him." said Nie Huaisang.

"Sorry, Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji and caressed Wei Wuxian arms where his future self bit.

"Don't stop, Lan Zhan. That feels comforting." said Wei Wuxian as he leaned to the touch.

"They're clearly showing off." Jiang Cheng snorted.

Lan WangJi straightened his back slowly. Fixing his hair and his clothes, he spoke nothing, eyes looking down calmly. It was as if the certain someone who shoved and shouted and sunk his teeth into other people's flesh had nothing to do with him. Wei WuXian glanced at the bite marks on his arm and squatted down, still shaken. Curled up in the corner, he continued to poke at the flames, not at all comprehending the situation, How could Lan Zhan do this? Even though he saved me, you can say that I saved him as well, didn't I? It's not that I want him to thank me or anything, but why is it that we still can't be friends, even after so much has happened? Don't tell me that... that I'm really as annoying as Jiang Cheng makes it to be?!

"Yes, you are." said Jiang Cheng.

"And my Lan Zhan loves it." said Wei Wuxian.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." said Jiang Cheng.

"Just like how brother-in-law loves your grumpiness." said Wei Wuxian with a grin.

"Shut up." said Jiang Cheng with a glare as Lan Xichen snuggled to the crook of his neck.

Just as he was doubting himself, Lan WangJi spoke up, "Thanks."

Wei WuXian thought that he heard wrong. He looked at Lan WangJi, who was also looking at him. In all seriousness, he repeated himself, "Thanks."

"Why?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"For letting him took out his emotions." siad Lan Xichen.

"Even though it hurt you." he added.

"It's nothing, Lan Zhan." said Wei Wuxian.

"I'm glad that I am able to help you." he added with a smile in which Lan Wangji returned.

Seeing how he lowered his head slightly, Wei WuXian was scared that he might worship him by kneeling. He quickly darted to the side, "There's no need, there's no need. There's a problem with me that I'm unable to stand it when others thank me, especially when people like you thank me so seriously. It's so creepy that I'm even getting goosebumps. Kneeling worship, of course, is even more so unnecessary."

Lan WangJi replied with indifference, "You are thinking too much. Even if I wanted to worship you, I would not be able to move."

The juniors laughed at that.

"He really did act like he worship you in the future." said Zizhen.

"That's a-die's love." said Sizhui.
