remnants of you 🔞(Angel Devourers #2) WangXian FF

33

They arrived at Crimson Butterfly and went straight to the reserved private booth on the second floor, where Lan Wangji opened a bottle of Glenfiddich 1955 from his private reserve, and was rewarded by Wei Wuxian's glistening eyes and an enthusiastic kiss. He knew his beloved's weakness well, and he's not ashamed to exploit it to score some brownie points, as Hua Cheng smirked at him, knowing exactly what was on his mind.

"Do you see him?" Wei Wuxian claimed his usual spot on Lan Wangji's lap, while he sipped the Glenfiddich slowly. It was very smooth and sweet, like eating creme brûlée. The brand was one of Wei Wuxian's personal favorites, every Glenfiddich, every year. They ranged from different tastes, from fruity, mellow, but its best character was the smoothness, which if you're not careful, it would pack a punch. 

"Xiao Hei, scan all the security feeds to find Jin Zixun." Lan Wangji talked to his phone's bluetooth that was connected to Xiao Hei.

"On it, Master."

"So, I would like to sing on stage. Is it okay?" Wei Wuxian purred in Lan Wangji's ear. It seemed like the whiskey already took effect, loosening him up.

"Whatever you want, sweetheart." Lan Wangji unconsciously grabbed his waist and nuzzled his neck, when his phone chimed from Xiao Hei with GPS location. "Right about time. Jin Zixun sat right in front of the stage, please be careful."

"Lan Zhan, I'm going to sing a song, not kill someone with a rusty knife and smear salt on their wounds for my entertainment." Wei Wuxian chuckled and kissed Lan Wangji's nose.

"That's… oddly specific, but sure. Anything you want to do, do it in private, capisce?" Lan Wangji grabbed Wei Wuxian's hand and squeezed it. He just couldn't help but worry about him all the time. But Wei Wuxian only laughed and waved at him.

Shen Qingqiu, who sat on the couch across from them, couldn't help but smile at their cuteness. If only Lan Wangji knew .

"You do know that he is being considerate to you, right? The eighteen years old Wei Wuxian wouldn't give a damn about anybody if he wanted something."

"Yeah, I gather. Just couldn't help but worry all the time, you know, with him being killed, kidnapped, and now involved in a rape-murder case…" Lan Wangji sighed and he downed the whiskey in one big mouthful, and he felt the repercussions right away. It burnt his esophagus.

"Dude…" Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but pity the man. Well, they were match made in heaven, so, at least they have that.

Wei Wuxian swayed his perky little butt all the way to the stage with over exaggerated flirtiness, which caused Lan Wangji's blood to boil, but he couldn't do anything about it since Wei Wuxian had already reached the stage. He whispered to one of the musicians, and then walked to the piano and prepared for his performance.

"So, I'm here by the generosity of Second Young Master Lan, who allowed this humble woman to perform a song… for a starter." Wei Wuxian smiled so beautifully at the crowd, and they were soon captured by his alluring charm, especially their target, Jin Zixun. He was with his two goons, and they were drinking loudly with many girls in the private section in front of the stage. But his eyes were latched into Wei Wuxian. 

Wei Wuxian fixed the microphone in front of him, and started to play the piano expertly. He learned piano since he was young and he also mastered a few other instruments, he just rarely played them.

The first notes hit hard, and it was a song by LION, Our Love, a deceptive title since it was not exactly a love song. His voice was that of a low, smoky, blues singer, but in this rock song, it also fit well.

I recall memories of our past,
Where the clouds were all across the blue sky,
And you promised that you would hold my hand,
Till the end of time.
 
Since then I didn't dare to lift my head with confidence,
It seemed as if the sky had faded,
Since then I lost my breath,
My tears stopped flowing from then on, forever.
 
Our love 
Can't return after it's gone
Till now I waited in silence
Our love I knew, had become your burden,
But I just can't let go the last heartfelt warmth,
Yours.
 
I won't ask if you still love me,
As all I need is the freedom of the sky,
Leaving this world of sorrow,
Never lonely again.
 
Our love 
Can't return after it's gone
Till now I waited in silence
Our love I knew, had become your burden,
But I just can't let go the last heartfelt warmth,
Yours.

Right in the middle of the song, Wei Wuxian stood up and grabbed the electric guitar that was being handed to him, and started his solo and the riff, which surprised even Hua Cheng because he played like a pro. His voice was well matched with the rock part of the song.

"You should see him play Synyster Gates's solo." Shen Qingqiu chuckled. "He was in his rebellious phase when he learned that. Thank god his place was soundproofed."
Before anyone could answer though, Wei Wuxian already sang the next song, a haunting song in foreign language and accompanied only by violin.

Lan Wangji looked at him with amazement in his eyes, since he knew that the song was in Gaelic, a song about love lost and heart's pain, and suddenly everyone was in tears. He looked around surprisingly, and he noticed that only he, Hua Cheng, and Xie Lian were not affected by the song. Then he saw that Xie Lian's face darkened as he noticed something. He quickly drew three arrays and put them on Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge. Then he turned to Lan Wangji.

"You have to get Xianxian into a closed, soundproof room, right now. Do not let him out with any reason, until he… well, you will know later. Now go get him, before the chaos ensues." Xie Lian then looked at Hua Cheng. "You stay here." Then he took off his gloves and drew something in the air. A white array.

Hua Cheng observed Xie Lian quietly.

"Problem?"

"Yeah, I was kind of afraid that this might happen. Now it depends on how well Wangji handles Xianxian. If not… " Xie Lian left the answer hanging.

Jin Zixun was not in a good mood, because the bitch that they kept for fun unexpectedly was able to run away. He did not know who dared to save her since she wasn't in the woods when they tried to find her. But he would find out sooner or later. 

When his friends asked him to go to Crimson Butterfly to drink and have some fun, he agreed right away. They could easily score girls there. 
 
And they did.
 
The girls were easy enough, since the reason they came here in the first place was to bag some rich heir, and if they were lucky enough, they could be their side mistress. No one was crazy enough to expect to become the main wife since in those richer-than-god families the heirs were already being engaged to the other powerhouse since they were barely able to walk.

Jin Zixun was with Su Minshan and Wen Xu, his usual gang, and they shared five girls between them. The girls looked pretty enough in the dark, and that was enough for them.

So, when Jin Zixun heard a smoky woman's voice on stage, thanking Second Young Master Lan of all people, he was intrigued. He shifted his attention from the girl's thigh that he was groping to the stage, and he froze.

Standing on the stage was a young woman, with long dark hair, black short qipao, and her beauty was unrivaled. Somehow she reminded him of that wretched singer who took his Lamborghini Sian, Ageha. That was the name that he would not forget for a long time. But when he looked at her eyes, he was so stunned he stopped his movement. Even from such a distance, he could clearly see the twin orbs of those mesmerizing eyes, and he was lost in that illusion. 

For the first song, she was really good at singing the rock song, but for the second part, she definitely sang like a siren, which made him shed a tear, and his companions were reduced to a pile of mess and snot. 
And the first thought that popped in his mind was that he had to have this woman.

Lan Wangji did not waste anymore time and quickly made his move to the stage. We Wuxian looked at him with a beautiful smile, but did not move from his position in front of the microphone, until Lan Wangji princess carried him, straight to the office on level three with adjoining bedroom which Hua Cheng often spent the night in when he was swarming with work.
 
"Ooh, are we playing some sort of a game now, Lan Zhan?" Wei Wuxian traced Lan Wangji's front shirt with his red nails. The contrast with the dark shirt was obscene and somehow it sent lewd thoughts to Lan Wangji's mind. But he quickly shook it off. He quickly entered the soundproofed bedroom and put Wei Wuxian down on the bed before he turned around and locked the door, when he suddenly heard the sound of fabric fluttering. Lan Wangji turned around to see what made the sound when he was pushed against the door by a very naked Wei Wuxian, who looked at him with hunger clearly shown in the blazing red eyes.
