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

"What do you want to eat?" Lan Wangji asked Wei Wuxian when they got out of the precinct.

"Mm… I suddenly crave big, fat, juicy eels, unagi… do you know where we can get the authentic one?" Wei Wuxian suddenly thought about Japanese food. He missed Japan, especially the food, although they don't like spicy food but nowhere in Japan would there be bad food. Even a drugstore sandwich tasted good.

"I happen to know the best and authentic Japanese place where they serve big, fat, juicy unagi. Would you like to go with me?" Lan Wangji smiled when he remembered that when Wei Wuxian was in Mo Xuanyu's body, he loved that unagi too.

"Who else will I go there with?" Wei Wuxian grabbed Lan Wangji's hand and dragged him to the car.

The Japanese restaurant, Kurogi, was located not far from Cloud Recess University, in fact, it was still in the same vicinity. They shared the same backyard, which was turned into a tranquil sand garden, with koi ponds and traditional Japanese house, Minka, with tatami flooring, sliding paper door, and wooden veranda circling the whole building. To be able to dine there, you have to reserve at least a month upfront, but since Lan Wangji was the owner, he was shown right to his private room on the second floor.

"You even have your private room in this restaurant?" Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji in awe. He knew Lan Wangji was loaded, but this was a whole new level.

"I do have a private room in every establishment that I own. Easier than making a booking, don't you think?" Lan Wangji sipped the green tea that the waitress in kimono served them. He then ordered in Japanese, which made Wei Wuxian look at him in wonder. How much did he really know about Lan Wangji? Except that he had an exceptional body, cold demeanor to anyone but a few of those close to him, a brain so smart he could catch up to the homicidal genius Wei Wuxian, and the gaze so soft when he looked at him. And lots and lots of money.

"You're staring." Lan Wangji put the cup down. "Did you just realize that you have fallen in love with me?" He smirked as he poured the tea to Wei Wuxian.

"I just realized that you're actually a very awesome man, well,  aside from the fact that you're Hanguang Jun, but water under the bridge, yeah?" Wei Wuxian grinned as he took the tea and sipped it. "And yeah, that too…" he added in a small voice, but Lan Wangji caught it. His eyes widened in surprise, but right at that time, the door opened to show that the food had arrived.

Lan Wangji ordered premium grilled eel, assorted fresh sushi and sashimi, assorted tempura and miso soup. The order was so many, it covered the whole table. They also delivered premium bottles of sake, and extra chilli powder and chilli oil for Wei Wuxian. 

"Go on, eat." This was the kind of food that Lan Wangji could eat, since it was very fresh and had no added seasoning. He preferred the bland and fresh food since he was a child, but it's different from Wei Wuxian who enjoyed a very strong taste of chilli and other seasoning, which would burn his tongue and stomach lining if he dared taste them.

Wei Wuxian thanked the gods that the food arrived in time since he was not ready to talk about his feelings now, so instead he indulged in eating the delicious food. And it was very delicious. And fresh.

After they finished eating, Wei Wuxian received a notification of a message, and he opened it to see that it was from Grandpa Mo.

Ey, Wei Ying, the surprise party is this Saturday at noon, 1 p.m. I'll send you the GPS location later, see you soon!

Hmm… this Saturday… what a coincidence, Purgatory would be opened this Saturday night. Maybe he should invite Grandpa Mo back. Wei Wuxian chuckled.

"Something interesting?" Lan Wangji eyed him with a question in his eyes.

"Yeah, remember the older gentleman friend of mine? He invited me to his grandson's birthday party this Saturday at noon. Will you come with me? We need to find a gift too, what is the appropriate gift for a twenty four years old man?" Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji questioningly. 

"What was he like? The grandson."

"Beats me, I never met him. Hell, I barely knew the grandpa, but he's so nice, like my own grandpa." Wei Wuxian shrugged.

Lan Wangji had a suspicion that this grandpa was going to matchmake his grandson to the clueless Wei Wuxian. He sighed. At least he took him to the party, so he could fend off the unwanted attention.

"Let's find some gifts for the birthday boy then." 

Mo Ziyuan was walking to his meeting place at the mall. His informant always asked to meet in public places and she would come in heavily disguised self. Mo Ziyuan never knew the true face of his informant, nor was he interested in finding out since the woman was more ruthless than himself. He didn't want to meet today since an important shipment had come and he had to oversee them, but the woman insisted that he had to come since it was important. So he did.

He waited at their predestined meeting place, an open space cafe which served tasteless coffee with exorbitant prices. But people did not come here to drink coffee, they came for the ambience and to take selfies. He chose to sit outside since it would be easier to spot the woman and get it over with quickly. And that was when he saw her.

The girl who had been haunting his dreams ever since she rejected him in the public, humiliated him, and got him banned from the Cloud Recess Hotel. And she was clinging to none other than Lan Wangji.

No wonder she rejected him, she had bigger fish in her pocket. Lan Wangji, of all people. The Ice Prince, the Most Wanted Bachelor, the Heir to the Lan Empire. Mo Ziyuan held his coffee glass tighter and tighter in contempt, until he felt a cold hand pressing his shoulder.

"You're going to break the glass if you keep doing that."

The woman, now in a ponytail, face mask, sports jacket and pants and sneakers, sat in front of him, obstructing his sight from the lovey-dovey couple.

"That's none of your business." But he let go of the glass and acted like he was not affected at all by the girl. "What do you want? I have an important shipment that I have to oversee right now."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it, you're a busy man." She took out a piece of paper out of her pocket. "This is a gift to you. Let's just say… for service rendered." She chuckled.

Mo Ziyuan took the piece of paper with suspicions in his eyes, but as he opened it, his eyes widened in surprise.

"This…"

"Yep. It's the address of that girl's new club that will be opened next week, if you want to pay her a visit. She will live upstairs, alone."

"Why are you telling me this? And how did you know that I… have unfinished business with that girl?" Mo Ziyuan was feeling something between excitement and suspicion because how the hell did this woman know about his obsession? He never told anyone about her, especially since she had humiliated him.

"By this time, I'm sure you know that we know everything." She smiled behind the mask until her eyes crinkled. "Oh and I also have information about her supercar, and how to dismantle it, also her weaknesses. If you want, I can make you a plan to kidnap her and do whatever you like to her before sending her to us. I'm sure she will be a precious addition to our master's collection." The woman whispered the last words near Mo Ziyuan's ear, sending shivers all over him. But he was very interested.

"I'm listening."
