After the practice, the four dismissed themselves from the gymnasium. The members of the fencing club slowly disperse as well, some still remained to get some more practice and some went back to their lockers to have their shower and change into some normal wear, one of them being Lan Zhan.
When the four arrived at the front of the gym's door, Huaisang bid his goodbye first, leaving the three. "Wuxian, let's go home," Jiang Cheng also said but was answered with a pout from the omega. "Buuuut-" he whined, he hasn't said goodbye to Lan Zhan yet!
Lan Xichen chuckles under his breath, just by looking at Wei Ying's face he can decipher what is written inside his head. Other than that, he also wants to have more time with the beta, and for that to be fulfilled is to hold them back.
"Something wrong? Do you have somewhere to go after this that is so urgent?" he says playfully earning a frown from the beta.
"It's none of your busi-"
"-no actually, we can still wait for Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying beamed as he cut off Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng instantly whipped his head in his direction and frowned at him in disbelief. "you-"
"Oh, that's great! We could go have some coffee before we go home, yeah?" Xichen suggested, cutting the beta off before he can say anything.
Wie Ying nodded, enthusiastically, "Yes, yes," he chipped.
Jiang Cheng sighs defeatedly, well does he even have a say? All he can do is follow the two.
And so they marched their way to the locker room, it's not that far from the gymnasium so they were able to arrive in a short time. They stood outside to wait, and after ten minutes the door of the locker room opened.
"Oh, Wangji. Done so soon?" Xichen asked his brother who still has his towel clinging on his shoulder and hair still dripping wet, his bag is on the other side of his shoulder. He's in a little disheveled state, still, his handsomeness exudes anyway.
Lan Zhan nods, eyes first landing at Wei Ying. "I don't want to make you wait," he says, expressionless.
Xichen giggled, eyeing the omega knowingly and back to his brother. Well for starters, his brother takes his time when he takes a bath or when he showers. He dries himself thoroughly before he goes out
Wei Ying tilted his head, a frown growing on his forehead. Then he clicked his tongue, he harshly grab the towel from his shoulder.
The three looked at him, eyes wide in shock, but then replaced with a knowing grin at the next thing the omega did.
Wei Ying grumbles, wrapping the towel on the alpha's dripping hair, then nags, "If you don't dry your hair properly you'll get sick!" he scolded while he gently wipe his fringes.
If anyone sees Lan Zhan's expression right now, they would say he's too cold. One of the most beautiful omega in the Education department is wiping his hair, can't he be a little flustered or a little happy that he's being treated by THE Wei Ying like that? But for Xichen he'd witnessed enough. He grinned upon seeing the pink hue at the tip of Lan Zhan's ear, 'ah he likes it' he thought.
.
After the coffee hangout they had, they separated ways. Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng need to be home to be able to avoid Ziyuan's wrath while Lan Zhan and Lan Huan need to be home before dinner. They can't just always avoid their uncle, they have avoided him yesterday and this morning already, if they do that again this dinner they might get reprimanded with the disgusting words coming from his mouth.
Lan Xichen is smiling as he gets out of his car, while Lan Zhan follows suit, face completely normal to the naked eye. But to Xichen, he had known his brother more than anyone, he already memorized all his expressions from his eye and lip twitching, the tip of his ears turning pink and the simple gestures he observes that his brother doesn't usually do.
It's an art of mastering every move his brother, and now he knows his brother is happy. The small frown that he saw a while ago from his brows that no one noticed but him, indicates that he's interested. The small smirked that Lan Zhan hid behind sipping his tea while Wei Ying started bubbling and bubbling that lightens the mood means he's having fun. And the way the pupils of his eyes slightly dilate as it focused on the omega screams the look of fondness. He knew them all because he saw them sometimes on their father. Their father is a straightlaced faced man, he hides his true affection for their mother behind the expressionless expression on his face when someone is around, but Lan Xichen saw what he is hiding. He observed and finally figured out the little gestures, there he confirmed, he loves their mother more than anything.
Lan Xichen chuckles, catching his brother's attention, "Maybe next time we can ask them for a meal, again," he suggested. He smirked upon seeing the other's pupil slightly dilated, 'he likes the idea.'
"Whatever you like, gege," the younger answered, putting his attention back in front of him.
Lan Xichen grinned, "Okay," he answers happily, in that way he can also see Wei Ying's brother. Damn, he'd been smitten by the beta for almost two years, and now he was able to find a reason to spend time with him, of course, he will grab the chance!
he smiles dreamily as they walk just in front of the front door, and was about to open it when it was opened from the inside. The smile on their faces faded, just when they thought the day will be finished with good vibes and smiles on their faces it all replaced with bitterness. 'A good day will always be associated with a bad one, huh?' he thought. He sighs internally, they can't escape this hell hole either way if they ignore him once again.
"Master Xichen and master Wangji, Master Qiren is waiting at the dining room," they announced.
They both nodded as a response, not further opening their mouth as they went straight to the dining room while the servants carried their bags to their room.
Upon entering the dining room, a heavy aura welcomed them. The scent of an alpha asserting dominance filled the whole room. Lan Qiren is already seated on his usual seat, already eating.
the two went on their seats, they are not bothered by his heavy pheromones since they are dominant alphas as well, they are not even affected by it, but they can smell his dominance from his scent, so they stayed quiet.
"What I told you yesterday, is that hard to obey?" the elder asked.
The two kept their mouth shut, head lowered. The musk of his scent gets nastier every second.
"I told you to not go anywhere! You chose to go to that omega's grave than your father's? You disrespectful fools!" his voice getting loud.
They chose to stay quiet, what's even the point of answering when answering back is an act of disrespecting as well?
Then they heard a loud clanging of utensils on the glass plates, Lan Qiren got fed up from the silence they are giving him, "I don't want this to happen next time!" he declares with a growl to warn them, then followed with his seat pushed back. He waits for a second to hear an answer from the two but made him angrier when he received nothing from them, and so he stomps out of the dining hall, even banging the door close as he went out.
The two felt sour at what their uncle blurted out, either way, they swallowed their anger and went to their own rooms. Great, another fucking disgusting night for them.
