The two cleaned up after their love session. They were going to get ready to see where they were to head next when a sudden shattering downs came from the center of the room. The sound was quite familiar—it was already their second time hearing it. The Qiankun Pouches that had been on the table were becoming restless again, throwing the cups and teapots onto the ground.

This time, with the three body parts together, it was even more wild. Last night, one of them was hopelessly drunk while the other was helplessly tormented, so of course they forgot all about the duet. Wei Wuxian was worried that Lan Wangji was overly-shocked and would accidentally impale him onto the bed out of impulse.

He hurried, "Serious business. Come, come. Let's do serious business first."

Lan Wangji looking down at Bichen, which had been lying on the ground ever since last night. One of the ropes that tied the pouches had come loose. Half of an ashen arm had already crawled out of the tiny opening.

Wei Wuxian held out his hand, "Hanguang Jun, you took away my flute last night. I need to have it back."

Lan Wangji looked at him with a complicated expression, as if he really wanted to ask about the details of what happened after he was drunk. However, he was used to finishing important tasks first, so, suppressing his questions, he put on a serious expression and took out the seven-stringed guqin.

Of the three Qiankun Pouches, one held the left arm, another held the legs, and the last held the torso. The three parts could already form a large portion of the body. They influenced the others and the resentful energy multiplied, making them harder to deal with than before. The agitation only ceased after the two played Rest three consecutive times.

Wei Wuxian put away his flute. He was about to gather up the body parts that rolled all over the ground when he suddenly commented, "Our dear friend hadn't been missing his workouts."

The sash belt of burial robe on the torso had already loosened. The collars opened to reveal the strong, solid body of a man in the prime of his life. With broad shoulders and a thin waist in addition to the sharply contoured abdominal muscles, it was the masculine body figure that countless men dreamed to have.

Staring at it from every direction, Wei Wuxian couldn't help smacking those abs a few times, "Hanguang Jun, look at him. If he were alive and I hit him, the impact would've bounced back and hurt myself. Just how on Earth did he train?"

...

A few people looked at Nie Mingjue, knowing who that corpse was. Nie Mingjue was a bit confused as to why they were staring.

"What?" He asked.

"He trained at Qinghe," Lan Xichen said answering Wei Wuxian's question.

"I see that now...but did I know that then?" Wei Wuxian asked.

"Of course not," Lan Xichen said, "I just thought you deserved an answer."

"Oh, well thank you," Wei Wuxian said.

...

The tips of Lan Wangji's brows seemed to twitch, but he said nothing. Yet, unexpectedly, Wei Wuxian smacked on it two more times. Lan Wangji finally took over the Qiankun Pouches, his face remaining expressionless, and silently started to seal the corpses. Wei Wuxian made way for him at once. Quickly afterward, Lan Wangji finished sealing back all of the body parts and even tied quite a few dead knots over each one. Wei Wuxian didn't think too much of it.

Looking to the side, he saw that Lan Wangji still glanced at him after he put away the Qiankun Pouches, his eyes full of hesitance.

Wei Wuxian purposely spoke, "Hanguang Jun, why are you looking at me like this? Are you still worried? Trust me. I really didn't do anything to you last night. Of course, you didn't do anything to me either...until a few minutes ago. I wouldn't let you take advantage of me drunk nor would I do that to you when you are drunk."

Lan Wangji thought for a few moments. As if he finally made a decision, he lowered his voice, "Last night, other than taking your flute, I..."

Wei Wuxian, "You? What else did you do? Nothing much, really. You just said a lot of things."

The Adam's apple on Lan Wangji's snow-colored neck bobbed slightly, "... What sort of things?"

Wei Wuxian, "Nothing too important. Pretty much, mnn, for example, you really like..."

Lan Wangji's gaze froze.

Wei Wuxian, "You really like rabbits."

"..." Lan Wangji closed his eyes and turned his head to the side.

...

"A'Xian, must you constantly tease the poor man?" Yanli asked giggling a bit.

"Me, not tease Lan Zhan?" Wei Wuxian questioned out loud.

A few people burst out laughing, "like that would happen," Jiang Cheng said, "you're talking about Wei Wuxian here. He is someone who loves to taunt and tease."

"Actually, ever since he met Lan Wangji, has he teased anyone else?" Nie Huaisang asked.

"Yeah, me," Jingyi answered.

"You're his son, and it's only natural for parents to tease their children," Nie Huaisang told him.

"It used to be Jiang Cheng until he met Lan Wangji," Yanli said, "that is just my guess."

"He teases me back you know," Wei Wuxian said.

"We are starting to see that the more we watch this," Nie Huaisang stated.

...

Wei Wuxian added in consideration, "It's okay! Rabbits are so cute—who doesn't like rabbits? I also like them. Here, Hanguang Jun. You drank so much last night... Uh, not really. You were so drunk last night, so you're probably not feeling that good right now. You can wash your face, have some water, then rest for a while before we set off again. This time, it's pointing at the Southwest. I'll go buy some breakfast downstairs and not bother you any longer."

As he was about to go, Lan Wangji spoke coldly, "Wait."

Wei Wuxian turned around, "What?"

Lan Wangji stared at him fixedly. Finally, he asked, "Do you have money?"

Wei Wuxian grinned, "Yes! You didn't think that I don't know where you keep your money, did you? I'll grab some breakfast for you too, alright? Hanguang Jun, you can take it slow. We're not in a hurry."

He left the room and closed the door behind him. In the hallway, he bent over and silently laughed for quite a long while.

Lan Wangji seemed as if he had received a major shock. He shut himself inside the room and didn't come out for a long period of time. As he waited, Wei Wuxian sauntered downstairs, left the inn, and strolled around the area, buying some snacks along the way.
