Who You Are Book 2

Chapter 76 - Confession

Before he could finish, the sharp pain of flesh being lacerated came from his throat. Something dripped down his neck. Lan Wangji's face was pale.

Jin Guangyao, "How could he not listen to me? Just think about it, Young Master Wei, his* life is in my hands."

*T/n: Not a typo, WWX is LWJ's life, that's a fact.

Lan Wangji spoke one word at a time, "Do not touch him."

Jin Guangyao, "Then you know what to do, Hanguang Jun."

A moment later, Lan Wangji responded, "Yes."

Lan Xichen sighed. Lan Wangji raised his hands. With two strong taps, he locked his own spiritual powers.

Jin Guangyao smiled, his voice soft, "This really is..."

Lan Wangji's eyes were locked on them, "Let him go."

Wei Wuxian, however, stopped him, "Lan Zhan! I-I have to tell you something."

Jin Guangyao, "Let's save it for later."

Wei Wuxian, "No. It's really urgent."

Jin Guangyao, "Then you can also say it right now."

It was only an offhand comment, but Wei Wuxian seemed as if he realized something, "You're right." Right after, Wei Wuxian shouted with all he could, "Lan Zhan! Lan Wangji! Hanguang Jun! Back then, I-I really wanted to sleep with you!"

...

"Shameless!" Lan Qiren scolded.

"Now that, is what I call a confession," Wen Ruohan stated.

Wuxian's face was bright pink of embarrassment. He hid it in Wangji's chest. Wangji too, was a bit embarrassed but at the moment, he was more focused on Wuxian. Others took a glance at the couple, they seemed pretty enticed by how good they looked together.

...

Jin Guangyao's hands loosened, and the string fell. As soon as he felt the stinging at his neck disappear, Wei Wuxian threw himself at Lan Wangji, unable to wait a second longer.

The shocking confession just now struck Lan Wangji with such force that he still hadn't finished processing it. A few rare streaks of loss and confusion appeared on his normally calm face. It wasn't the first time Wei Wuxian hugged him as if he was clinging on for dear life, but this time, it was as though Lan Wangji's body had turned into a heavy log. He froze so much that he didn't even know where to put his hands.

Wei Wuxian, "Lan Zhan, did you hear what I said?!"

Lan Wangji's lips moved. A moment later, he spoke, "You..." He'd always been concise and comprehensive with his words, never pausing at all. But right now, he paused with more hesitance than ever. Another moment later, he continued, "You said..."

He seemed as if he wanted to repeat it to make sure he didn't hear it wrong. But to Lan Wangji, those words were indeed too hard to say. Immediately, Wei Wuxian decided to say it again, "I said I really wanted to..."

"Ahem!" Standing on the side, Lan Xichen clenched his right hand into a fist and put it to his lips. After some thought, he sighed, "... Young Master Wei, it certainly isn't the best time and place to say such words."

Wei Wuxian apologized without any sincerity, "I'm really sorry, Sect Leader Lan, but I really couldn't wait a second longer."

Jin Guangyao also seemed like he couldn't wait a second longer. He turned around, "Have you still not dug it out yet?!"
