Flipside

Chapter 14

It was Nie Huaisang who produced two large jars of water and steamed buns for two bright red and visibly steaming pair. Using only his face, he tried to get Jiang Cheng to start, what has to be the biggest secret ever ... Hauisang never would have guessed this!!!

Not in a million years would he have believed that scene before him was real... Right at this moment, the ever-so Pristine and Honourable Twin Jade Lan WangJi was gasping and gulping mouthfuls of liquid while cussing out Wei WuXian?!

Jiang Cheng just watched as his ShiXiong whined, with liquid and crumbs falling out of his mouth in a revolting mess, while trying and succeeding in calming down the once frigid twin Jade of Gusu.

Blinking in confusion he mugged back at Nie Huaisang, who only tried to look pathetic and motioned a 'no you' gesture, this went on for longer than necessary, so long it was the polite voice of Lan WangJi that snapped them back to the strange pair.

"Thank you for the water and bread, Nie Huaisang. Now what do you two want to keep your mouths shut about this?"

"Eh, huh, I." Huaisang stuttered.

"Well, obviously you guys want something in return for keeping my secret. That is how blackmail worked, last time I checked." Wangji said quite a matter of factly. 

"Aiya, ZhanZhan, don't be so frigid~" Wei Ying teased while a vein popped in Wangji's forehead, while Huaisang and Jiang Cheng's jaws hit the floor.

 "Excuse me?!" Wangji was embarrassed and blushing intensely, his ears resembling the colour of chilli powder.

"Well, what would you rather I call you? A-Zhan, Zhan-er, Ji-er, Jiji? I could go on forever really."

 Wei Ying teased while Huaisang and Jiang Cheng felt more and more like third wheels with each passing second.

Wangji expressed his frustration by puffing his cheeks, crossing his arms, and turning his head away. While Wei Ying tried to push down the strong urge to pinch his cheeks. Tried and failed. 

"Aiya, okay I'm sorry." He said as he pinched Wangji's adorable cheeks. 

"Will you stop that!" Wangji batted away Wei Ying's hands in a swift motion, similar to that of a cat.

"AHEM!" Jiang Cheng's loud fake cough interrupted the two lovebirds. Looking over at him, Wangji raised his eyebrow as if to ask him what his problem was.

"So let me get this straight," Jiang Cheng said, finally getting their attention. He held his head in confusion, while Huaisang just fanned himself harder than ever.

"You're not stuck up?"

"Odd choice of words, but no, not really," Wangji replied, still feeling a little embarrassed, while Wei Ying just smiled down. 

"You're really not stuck up?" Huaisang muttered, closing his fan in thought.

"Yep, that would be correct. I think you'll find that I'm a pretty good troublemaker." He promptly flicked an errant strand of hair away from his face.

 "No, I refuse to believe it. It's impossible, I would have noticed." Huaisang declared. In all honesty, he was rather hurt at the fact that he didn't notice it earlier, what with his intelligence. It seemed like a bit of a blow to his IQ, so he was now in denial.

"It was a shock to me as well when I discovered it." Wei Ying added, his face hurting from both grin ache and spice. 

"You tripped me up and made me fall on my face; I don't really see how you consider that discovering." Wangji crossed his arms, while Wei Ying ducked to avoid his gaze.
