It came as a surprise to WangJi when he heard Biling Lake was infested with Water Ghouls. Caiyi Town was a fishing village, its children born in her water and raised on her shores, drinking her lifeblood and eating her fish—drownings were unheard of. Yet now, fishermen were going overboard and only deep sea corpses re-emerged. Lan WangJi could see that his brother was also troubled by these happenings. Along with the strange cases of spirit-snatching, Gusu's spirituality was being put into question.
"Zewu Jun!" Shouted a cheerful voice. A flock of songbirds scrambled to their wings. Lan WangJi perked up.
Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng barely contained their excitement in stuttering smiles and fidgeting feet where they'd intercepted the Jades on a narrow wooden bridge. Behind them was a lady in red, Wen Qing, Lan WangJi remembered, but he only had eyes for one of the three.
Smiling at Lan WangJi, Wei WuXian—the subject of all his fantasies and woes as of late—waved with a limp wrist. Ears glowing like cinders, Lan WangJi looked away; but still he could feel the radiance of Wei WuXian's smile, never once directed at his brother or Jiang WanYin, all of him, completely, given to Lan WangJi.
He liked that a lot.
When his elder brother began to speak, he recomposed himself.
"Jiang Gongzi, Wei Gongzi, Wen Guniang. How may I help you?"
Diplomatic as a sect heir should be, Jiang Cheng bowed while explaining, "We heard Water Ghouls have been causing trouble in Caiyi Town. Given our lectures have not yet resumed, we wish to join you in eradicating this evil."
Wei WuXian nodded triumphantly even though his brother had done all the talking. Suibian was hugged tightly in his crossed arms, pressed against his sternum in a way that pulled the fabric tight around each breast. His robes were damp. Blushing pink buds could be seen beneath, like a veiled woman on her wedding night, and Wei WuXian embraced his sensuality fully. He had no shame.
"It is against the rules," Lan WangJi said, because Lan WangJi wanted to hear his voice.
"Why!?" The boy stomped his feet. "Jiang Cheng and I grew up in the lakes of Yunmeng! Water Ghouls are child's play for us!" As he said this, he brazenly tapped his brother's chest with Suibian. "We have no classes until next week, so why can't we leave?"
