Chocolate Love

Lan Zhan brews his lucky tea, smiling as it steeps, and then he's pouring it into two mugs. They both have tiny white rabbits on the curved handles, a gift from his beloved. He takes both mugs out from the kitchen to the sunken seating arrangement where his husband is waiting for him.

"Oooh…nice." He says, sniffing and smiling, his nose twitching like Chonk.

The bunnies are hopping and flopping around their feet, and Lan Zhan thinks he couldn't be happier.

Wei Ying settles into his arms, and it's the best feeling.

"Happy anniversary, sweetheart." He says, holding up his phone.

Wei Ying is showing him pictures of the last New year's eve, when they discovered how they both felt about each other. He has gone back in time and Lan Zhan loves this.

Tonight… when the clocks chime and the countdown is up, on New year's day they will kiss just like that day, when their lives changed completely. It has become a tradition for them now, one he hopes will last forever.

They don't go to parties which last longer than nine at night on this special day. When the second hand falls and it's finally midnight, they want to be in each other's arms, just like that night.

More pictures follow in the time machine that is Wei Ying’s phone.

Last year, they had spent a whole week completely alone and for the most part, in bed.

It was an enlightening experience for both of them…

He briefly wonders if he can make that part of the other tradition as well.

On the seventh day, last year, Lan Zhan had looked at his messages and discovered a reply from someone he had been waiting to hear back from.

Chef Amaury Guichon.

They were to spend six months accompanying him around the world and taking part in exclusive courses that would broaden their minds and talents.

And most importantly, they would be together.

Lan Zhan was at the time, still scared that Wei Ying would vanish and he would lose him forever… so he had a plan.

When they won that contest with their domino display and the chocolate lava dome with the helicopter leaves (the video had gone viral and was partly responsible for getting in Chef Amaury's good books), Lan Zhan had unfortunately been right: there was fallout.

They had to deal with a horrible Madam Yu.

She wanted to know why she hadn't been involved at all, and why Wei Ying had kept the whole thing so secret.

Lan Zhan had only told Wei Ying the bare bones of that meeting. The mere mention of her name gave his husband so much stress that Lan Zhan decided he was going to protect Wei Ying as much as he could, from her claws.

Lans don't need to threaten…Lans explain.

And Lan Zhan told her in no uncertain terms, that Wei Ying did not owe her anything any more and she should stop trying to ride on the coattails of his fame.

She had left with hollow threats of legal action, which both of them knew held no substance.

And famous, they are.

That one video of their winning entry got them hundreds of offers, and in the culinary world, their names became hot property.

But first they had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fulfil.

That course opened so many doors for them, and soon after that, they launched their new company: WeiLan Creations.

They only had one rule: once the clients told them what they wanted, their company was given Carte Blanche on the final product.
