- Good morning, my love.
- Mmmm.
- Are you still sulking, Wanyin?! Will you at least tell me why???
Jiang Cheng was lying in bed with his back to Lan Huan. They had spent a tense couple of days together, mostly sleeping and making plans for the next week. The young lawyer still had to catch up on work, and the Saturday had been rather a "work from home" day, before something he was calling "a walk in the dark forest of Black Rock", and Jiang Wanyin was missing him terribly all the time.
Now he was sulking indeed, but it wasn't because he had been so busy with the case.
It rather was for a different reason. A terribly stupid and trivial reason, but all the more maddening for that.
- Baby? Please? Honey? – Lan Xichen was begging now, trying to get him to turn around and face him, but was only met with a low growl; Jiang Cheng was grabbing the frame of the bed tightly and would not turn for the world.
It was a good thing that this here wasn't his own bed, because they would have just tumbled on the floor because of all the tugging and pulling.
- Let me be, idiot! – he hissed now.
The warm palm stopped indeed, and Lan Huan took it away slowly. It truly made Jiang Cheng so upset that he wanted to cry.
- Is it... because of the ring? Baby, I told you... I just want the perfect one! Just wait for a couple weeks more! Just 2 more weeks, 3 tops! Please...
The desperate pleading was rather heartbreaking, and Jiang Cheng bit his lips; he hadn't even remembered to worry about his engagement ring! This was... this was horrible!
- Shut up... - he mumbled. – Moron...
- But...
Lan Xichen was totally lost, now sitting up in the bed, watching the smooth skin on his lover's back, not really daring to touch him any more. He watched and wondered, his mind going through the usual things Wanyin would usually be mad about, but he seemed to have covered everything! He had apologized for absolutely everything!
