Yea... Dinner was a mess.

Estella was extremely shy all of a sudden, refusing with all her might to sit next to her boss and have dinner with the other three. She preferred to serve the dishes, and the compromise she made was to stand really really very close to Lan Xichen, paying full attention so that everything went well.

Everybody praised the food and she was blushing, too pleased that her efforts were appreciated, but far more pleased to see her Master Lan's appetite return with the return of the skinny chico.

Brent, on the other hand, had absolutely no scruples, and joined the table so naturally as if he owned the place. It was quite comical to watch him, though, because he stuck to his rule of  "no dinner"  and only agreed to some light salad, a multi-vitamin smoothie and a huge jug-like glass of fizzy water. Jiang Cheng was having a blast of a time, watching him nibble on the food  –  he looked like a huge blond rabbit.

He only nodded when Lan Huan mentioned his tasks for the day and for the next day  –  it was all pretty easy.

- If there's anything you might need  –  let me know, boy!  –  he cheered, munching on a couple of dishes all at once.

Jiang Cheng was already used to this kind of messy inhaling of food,  and if the young blonde was impressed by it  –  he hid it well. It had taken some mild persuasion and the grunted words: "Huan, we can't be both non-stop hard during dinner! You said rest  –  so now fucking REST!",  so now they were sitting next to each other, but on separate chairs, and it was no secret that whenever their hands disappeared from over  the table  –  they were groping and caressing underneath it.  

Lan Xichen was indeed in a very good mood today for some mysterious reason.

It was almost 7 p.m.   -  so, not really late  –  when Estella scoffed she had to go, and, promptly and efficiently, both were gone within a couple of minutes. Stella was going to be back on Sunday, because of Lan Wangji's birthday, so a full day's cooking had to suffice until then.

- Don't make a mess, sir!  –  she huffed at him on her way out.  –  And give my best to the young master Wangji! Have a good time, and no monkey business!

Lan Huan raised his eyebrows, amused, and only trilled:

- Ahh, my star! I have a wife now! She won't let me get into any monkey business, trust me!

- I'M NOT YOUR WIFE, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!  –  Jiang Wanyin shrieked from the dining-room, which only made Lan Huan chuckle.

But when he came back to dinner, the smaller boy immediately moved to sit in his lap, and murmured:

- I've missed you so much today... All day... I was surrounded by idiots... all day... A-Huan...

Lan Xichen was listening to the sleepy, purring voice, smiling. He believed that.

- Mmmm, Qizi...

- Moron... I love you so much, you moron...

- Mmmmmm, baby... What's in the bag, baby?  –  Lan Huan was purring now too.

- Let's finish dinner and I'll show you.  –  Jiang Cheng mumbled, blushing all over.

- More presents for me, my love? Or for you? Have you been very naughty today, Wanyin? Mmmm? Should I be jealous???
