SC5 - Test of Huiyi

The sun began to set. The lanterns were already lit to give light to the surroundings which was gradually being swallowed up by the darkness. The Conference Discussion had just ended. Gradually, the Cloud Recesses went back to its calm and quiet demeanor. However, things were always different with Wei Wuxian's presence.

He just poured himself a cup of alcohol. He also poured one for his shidi, Jiang Cheng and another one for his shijie's husband, Jin Zixuan. Wei Wuxian took his cup, smiling proudly at his son. "A-Yuan, congratulations on the successful conference discussion." Wei Wuxian sighed satisfyingly when the cup of Emperor's Smile went down from his throat.

Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli congratulated their son-in-law too. Jiang Cheng was about to but he got distracted by his nephew's attire. Jin Ling was wearing his husband's outer robe. Jiang Cheng knew long time ago ever since his nephew married the Lan, he shouldn't be surprised and must get use to Jin Ling's action. After all, in his eyes, he is Lan Sizhui's wife. However, his tolerance wasn't really that high. There were things that he really found disturbing. When he finds it disturbing, he must voice it out. He wanted to but he choose to say nothing. He gulped down the cup of alcohol and poured one for himself again. He didn't know how but with Lan Wangji's high tolerance with Wei Wuxian, he still cannot believe he is drinking alcohol openly in Cloud Recesses.

Wei Wuxian felt satisfaction in the banquet hall as he seated the way he want. The food served in the hall was not like the food served during his first time attending a banquet in Cloud Recesses. No pungent or bitter soup. No eerie silence and other from white 'mourning' clothes, he's seeing black, red, yellow and purple. 'Finally, a real banquet in Cloud Recesses.'

Jin Zixuan, "Sect Leader Wen, let me pour you some alcohol. Congratulations on winning the second place."

Wen Yang held his cup. "Thank you, Sect Leader Jin. It was a tough battle between our disciples but my disciples were hyped-up and inspired with my Gege's threat–aww!" Wen Yang pitifully looked at Jingyi.

Jin Zixuan frowned in confusion. "Threat?"

After elbowing someone's waist, Jingyi hurriedly said, "Please ignore him, Sect Leader Jin. Our disciples were just really excited for this discussion and worked really hard."

Wen Qing and Wen Ning looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. Jiang Yanli couldn't help but to laughed. She leaned slightly and whispered something to her husband. Jin Zixuan hide his laugh with a fake cough.

"Die, you really helped Fuqin and mother-in-law with the dishes today?" Sizhui couldn't believe himself. No dishes looked red and they smelled really....nice.

The kids already ate their dinner and were sent to their room at an early time. In this case, Wei Wuxian have no worries about her daughter reprimanding him about the rules he had broken or his twins looking at him confusingly while reciting the thousands of rules of GusuLan Sect. Lan Wangji entered the hall with one hand on his back. He saluted to the others and sat beside Wei Wuxian.

"Are they asleep now?"

"Mm." Lan Wangji nodded. "Xiao Yu and Zian slept in Weiji's room."

Wei Wuxian chuckled. "Tomorrow, your son will complain about the noises again but it's good. It's good. Weiji need a bothersome person so he can open up. Just like what I did to you."

"Wei Ying is not bothersome."

Wei Wuxian smiled sweetly. "Oh I love you so much, Lan-er gege."

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes. Jiang Yanli smiled happily. Same goes for the others. Wen Ning felt shy though at the sight and looked away drinking a cup of tea.

Sizhui smiled too. He's happy seeing his fathers loving each other so much. But that smile suddenly turned into shock the moment the piece of meat touched his tounge.

"What's wrong?" Jin Ling worriedly asked. He glanced on the meat dish and it looked fine.

"Water. Spicy."

"Huh?!" He glared at Wei Wuxian who immediately hide his laughing face at Lan Wangji's sleeve. Jingyi immediately grabbed his cup and gave it to Sizhui. However, he realized something.

Lan Sizhui have never touched a drop of alcohol. So no one or he himself never knew his tolerance towards the drink that Wei Wuxian loves.

Jingyi blinked his eyes waiting for Sizhui's reaction.

Jin Ling worriedly asked. "Is it still spicy?"

Confused, Lan Sizhui, "Why is this water taste bitter and sweet?"

"Want more?" Wen Yang blinked his eyes as he watched his beloved husband pouring another cup of alcohol and handing it to Sizhui. He was about to asked when Jingyi hushed him. "How was it? Good, right?"

Jin Ling twitched his brows. "What's so good about water?" He picked up the glass but he looked at his husband as soon as he smelled the alcohol from the cup. "A-Yuan, are you okay? Jingyi, A-Yuan never tried a drop of alcohol yet. What are you thinking?"

Jingyi, "He is a Wen, right? He shouldn't be drunk from just two cups of alcohol."

Sizhui stroke Jin Ling's back. "I'm fine, A-Ling."

"Wow!" Wei Wuxian stopped clinging to Lan Wangji and poured another cup of alchol. "A-Yuan, your alcohol tolerance is good. Here, drink more."

Lan Sizhui hesitated. "Huh? But–"

Wei Wuxian, "Come on. Let's see how many cups you can handle."

Sizhui took another and another. However, when he got to drink six cups of alcohol, his eyes become heavier.

"A-Yuan, don't drink too much. It will cause you so much headache tomorrow." Jin Ling gave him a cup of water instead but he didn't expect Sizhui to leaned his head on his shoulder and uttered such unbelievable words. Such words that should never be said with an audience.

"A-Ling, you smell so nice."

Jin Ling flushed red. "A-Yuan, don't just spout those shamelessly. Are you sleepy? Let me bring you to our room."

"My precious A-Ling. why do you smell so nice? I wanna bite you."

Jin Ling's eyes went wide. He bite the inside of his mouths when he felt a pang of pain in his neck. SIzhui just left a mark on him for everyone to see. How shameless!

The people in the hall had no choice but to looked away and excused themselves. Jiang Cheng was the first one to leave. He flipped his robes and turned away without looking back.

'Shameless, shameless, shameless!'  Now, Jiang Cheng believed that he will never get used to shameless things and will always have low tolerance towards such thing.
