Beyond Control

Chapter 31

~*Wei Wuxian's POV*~

I watched Xichen-Ge disappear from the Hanshi and then I turned to look at Lan Zhan. He looked back at me, the new warmth I could feel radiating off of him was nice. It was like he was happy, not just because of me, but there was something else.

"You look good today, Lan Zhan," I told him.

"Had a good talk with Huan-Ge," he said.

"I'm happy for you," I told him, "I kind of envy you a little on that. He is a kind man, and you have him as a brother."

"Your brother too," he said, "he loves you like you are his brother too."

"I feel undeserving of him and you," I told him and leaned back on the bed. My back rested against the headboard.

"Why?" He asked.

"I just feel like I don't deserve a lot of things," I told him.

"You deserve everything, Wei Ying," he said, "and I will spend every second of my life, proving that to you. My brother will do the same. You have been hurt and broken for so long, that you don't know what is good for you. You don't know your own self-worth."

"I guess that talk with your brother let you start speaking more freely," I told him.

"And I will continue to with you and him. Only you and him," he said.

"Why do you love me?" I asked him.

"Because you are my soulmate, and my equal. Your smile is the most beautiful smile in the world. Your laugh is so enchanting and it lets me know you are happy. Seeing you, makes me feel happy. I see you and my heart knows it wants you. It loves you and I love you. Always will too," he answered.

I sat up and straddled his lap. He was a bit surprised by my sudden action, but was soon understanding what I was going to do. I leaned in and kissed him. His arms, his comforting strong arms, wrapped around me and held me close to him. I held onto his face gently as I progressed further by brushing my tongue across his lips. He placed a hand on the back of my head and held me more firmly as he managed to pry my mouth open with his and pushed his tongue in.

Through heated panting and hands remained only exploring the upper body. A moan escaped my mouth as I melted further into him. His hand reached my waist and squeezed, causing me to jerk my hips forward. A light groan left him which caused me to come back from being lost into the kiss. I couldn't pull away though, I was too into him and his taste and touch to want to pull back.

~*Lan Xichen's POV*~

I stopped over to Wen Qing's new residence here in Cloud Recesses. She had settled in quite well. Along with her brother Wen Ning and their little nephew A'Yuan, who has yet to meet A'Xian. Since A'Xian was doing better, maybe he can visit him soon.

"Zewu Jun," she greeted, "pleasant to see you."

I bowed my head and then looked at her, "as it is to see you. I have brought an update on A'Xian," I told her.

"Oh?" She asked, "and you want me to come and look at him for a moment?"

I nodded, "he has a new golden core. We just need to know how much resentment is left in his body so we can adjust his treatments accordingly," I told her.

"Already?" She asked surprised, "and he did it?! It's a breakthrough. He has helped a lot with my theories of the golden core and I am actually happy to see this through."

I smiled at her, "she we head out then?" I asked her.

"Of course," she said. She was clearly excited about this new development.
