Ever heard of the phrase 'Wife material?'... Turns out I might not be cut out for it. At least that's what Lan Wangji's obnoxious Uncle says. Moving into the family house was as interesting as it was hectic. Fortunately, I have a husband whose entire world is about me- not some wife material.

~ Chapter 2~

"Welcome my sons," Lihua, Wangji's mother welcomes the new couple of the family with open arms. Wei Ying smiled, accepting the pampering right away. Master Lan himself had a huge meeting out of the country and could not join them.

Lan Wangji and Wei Ying were allocated the eastern wing of the estate, to give them more private time. "*nervous laugh* You didnt have to Mother, the honeymoon was enough," Wei Ying feared that this new arrangement would encourage Wangji to jump him every night. (Hasn't gotten over the honeymoon nightmare.)

"Don't be shy Lan Ying, it's normal for newlyweds to stay in the honeymoon phase for years. Besides, you need more time to enjoy each other before the children arrive."

"Children?... Hahaha, Lan Zhan and I have not planned that yet mother."

"And that's why I insist you move to a more private location to plan it all out."

"Oh, okay," Wei Ying bowed respectfully.

Moving into that part of the estate was not a bad idea after all. It was peaceful and quiet as long as Lan Wangji was not swinging his bat.
Aside from lovemaking, other things challenged their ability to compromise and give affection.

Lan Wangji was a neat freak and preferred having his clothes arranged separately, a trait Wei Ying did not care about sometimes. The servants did leave things in order...except that whenever Wei Ying picked out a stack of outfits to choose from, he failed to put them in the right space, therefore hanging them amongst Wangji's suits and casual wear. Lan Wangji would always hold in his breath each time that happened but said nothing.

Wei Ying preferred leaving his toothbrush on the sink instead of putting it in the special holder. Wangji sucks in another breath and put it in the right place. Later when Wangji returns Wei Ying had switched it from his brush holder to pairing it up with Wangji's. Wangji also had to hold his wife when they sleep to prevent getting a beating at night.

Messing up the side drawer, not pushing up the toothpaste after use, brushing so loudly and vigorously that it leaves splatters and white paste marks on the mirror, wetting the floor, leaving the toilet seat up, walking out of the bathroom stark naked....actually, he didnt mind that part. Yes, he prefers the last part that way.

Either way, Wei Ying's chaotic ways sort of drove Wangji insane sometimes.

One day while getting ready for breakfast, Wangji heads toward the closet room for his wristwatch. At the door, he chances upon Wei Ying stuffing more clothes at his side of the room. Lan Wangji stands in a corner properly when his wife takes out his grey coat, sniffing through it contently. It doesn't stop there, he does it to three more attires.

Watching Wei Ying rub his face through those clothes before selecting his own made Wangji quite puzzled yet intrigued.

"Waah...*inhales*... *exhales*...Hmm, now my clothes also smell like Lan Zhan. Hehehe, so good." Wei Ying picks what to wear and turns to leave. "Lan Zhan...," He nearly jumped out of his skin, seeing the jade out of nowhere. "You startled me... Why are you staring?"

Wangji went over wordlessly and smelled Wei Ying's clothes as evidence. It's true, his scent did rub off on Wei Ying's clothes to some extent. "My love is this why you won't stick to your side of the closet?"
