Jiang Cheng's face was the first thing Wei Wuxian saw when be opened his eyes. He was now back to his own room, wearing full clothings he had no idea who'd kindly cleaned his body and dressed him on his comfortable pajamas. 'Lan Zhan?' He'd guessed, grinning like crazy.

Seeing Wuxian's head in the clouds, his younger cousin cleared his throat and glared at Wuxian harder, farce, wanting confrontation why the lazy-bummer was still bedbound past noon time.

Mischievous as he is, Wuxian copied the same pissed-off face directed to him. The subtleness of his beautiful dream with his Lan Zhan was long gone replaced by annoyance from his cousin's unrequested presence.

Wuxian's eyes wandered around, brows frowning when he did not see the man who'd beastly man-handled him on bed the previous day, ramming through him nonstop until he passed out numerous times and slept the whole day afterwards to recover his energy.

"What have you been playing this time around?!" Cheng stomped towards him, grabbing Wuxian's collar. He only wanted to confirm his assumption with the single hickey peeking from his cousin's shirt, but his tongue got caught by the cat when he slightly pulled the cloth and saw his cousin's torso marked by love bites all over. Cheng turned white and started to stammer incomprehensibly. He looked as if he's gonna faint any moment.

"Suit yourself." Wuxian snickered at his cousin's poorly state. But it was brief, followed by a broad love-struck smile he only gives to his Lan Zhan.

Lan Wangji came in together with Wen Ning to his room. The former was impassive, cold and aloof, eyes obviously avoiding Wuxian's direction. Despite, Wuxian can clearly see the dimness in his beautiful amber eyes. Detest. His Lan Zhan still loathed him, Wuxian knew.

Wangji swiftly looked at Cheng instead, who had come back down the couch to stabilise himself from the shock. Wangji's eyebrows quirked, confused why his Boss looked as if he had seen a ghost. "Officer Jiang." He regarded.

Cheng's face turned paler, more dumbfounded. He was able to weave in his magnificent brain who might've given his cousin such skin markings. He couldn't even imagine the reputable, impregnable Detective Lan devouring his mischievous spoiled cousin Wuxian!

But then he remembered his cousin's request. "I want you to give me someone I can play with. Lan-Wang-ji."

Cheng had a moment of pause at the thought, followed by a wash of cold as his brain started going haywire. He stood up, spatting his purpose for coming. "Officer Lan's job is done here! He's going back to the homicide department!"

It was Wuxian's turn to freeze and turn ghastly white. "NO!!!" He answered breathy yet brittle, making the three men look at him. "Lan Zhan?" Wuxian appealed, scrambling through the sheets to come where Wangji stood. But his face flinched and grimaced with the pain on his back when he set foot on the granite floor.

"Young Master?" / "Wei Wuxian?!" Wen Ning and Jiang Cheng jointly screamed, leaping forward to assist the sick man. But their hands and concern weren't what Wuxian seeked. His eyes almost watered when he couldn't see a single hint of care nor sympathy from his Lan Zhan.

A broken smile tilted the corners of Wuxian's mouth. Wangji doesn't want to feel, but he saw dejection in that face which pulled some strings in his chest. His feet wanted to run to his Wei Ying, his arms wanted to take him in, his throat wanted to tell him he was needed, and his heart commanded him to stay. But Wangji's brain rules over them all. It won't allow him to be weak for the crazy man again. It won't allow him to be played with and broken twice by the same cunning bastard.

"Okay."

The single word was a miracle. Wuxian agreed to Cheng's message while looking straight into Wangji's cold eyes. Those who've heard, thought they've misheard it. But they didn't. The stubborn man, for once, accepted to lose what he had planned to take.

Did Wuxian love Wangji for real that he would let him go so he could be free? Is love really supposed to be giving and not taking?
