"Lan Zhan, your robes are getting dirt." Wei Wuxian said.

"Mn." Lan Wangji hummed, not attempting to get up.

"Lan Wangji, your white robes are getting dirt." Wei Wuxian emphasized, again.

"No problem." Lan Wangji replied.

"It's a problem for me. You staying here is a problem for me!"

Lan Wangji eyed him, not saying a word.

"Lan Zhan, it's almost evening! You did not have your lunch yet!"

"Wei Ying did not have his lunch either." Lan Wangji told.

"Lan Wangji, your uncle must be very angry right now! Why are you being like this?!"

Lan Wangji kept silent. He did not utter a word.

"Lan Wangji, do you even hear me?!" Wei Wuxian yelled.

"Shouting is prohibited." Lan Wangji sternly reminded him.

All at once, Wei Wuxian lost the little restraint he had within himself. He just could no longer control his anger. Wei Wuxian pulled Lan Wangji towards him aggressively for which Lan Wangji was almost frightened. He then muttered in his ear,

"Lan Wangji," he said through clenched teeth. "Fuck your rules."

"Wei Wuxian!" Lan Wangji was red in anger. He would never tolerate his clan being insulted. Not by anyone! Not even by Wei Wuxian!

Wei Wuxian stayed as quiet as still, looking at a distance, not at all bothered by Lan Wangji's anger.

Lan Wangji clutched his Bichen hard, his knuckled going red. "Indecent." Lan Wangji spat. Wei Wuxian clicked his tongue, not caring least on the earth.

Time ticked slowly. Very slowly and the heavy silence between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji seemed very disturbing.

"Wei Wuxian!"

"A-Xian!"

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji turned around their heads to see familiar faces. It was nine other than Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli.

"Shijie, Jiang Cheng, what are you two doing here?" Wei Wuxian questioned.

"What else can we do except sneak done food for you?" Jiang Cheng muttered and took out the food that he had hidden along the way.

"A-Xian, Wangji, here." Jiang Yanli said, sharing them a bun, "Eat this. We couldn't bring anything much afraid of getting caught."

"Lan Wangji, what are you looking at?" Jiang Cheng huffed. "If you cannot eat, then give it to him. Don't say some rules of yours. I don't really care for any of it now."

Wei Wuxian glanced at Lan Wangji who looked down. It seemed like he really was about to say some rules against them like; stealing is forbidden and stuff.

"A-Cheng, be quiet." Jiang Yanli shushed him. "Wangji, I know it's against your clan rules to steal. But, you two are in hunger. We did not have any other options."

"Lan Zhan, eat it." Wei Wuxian commanded.

Lan Wangji glanced at him then turned to Jiang Yanli and said, "Thank you." He bowed and took a bite of the bun.

Wei Wuxian was glad that Lan Wangji wasn't stubborn and had eaten. He smiled and Lan Wangji caught it. He soon changed his expression into a furious one.

"We can't stay here for long. If Master Qiren see us here, he will keep us under his gaze and would not let us bring food to you again. So I think we should get going." Jiang Yanli said.

Jiang Cheng huffed at that but Wei Wuxian nodded in agreement. "You two should get going." He said.

"A-Xian, Wangji, take care of yourselves." Jiang Yanli said, getting up on her toes.

"Take him along with you." Wei Wuxian said, pointing at Lan Wangji.

"He has legs. He could go on his own." Jiang Cheng spat.

"A-Cheng," Jiang Yanli called him, indicating him to be silent. She then turned towards Wei Wuxian and said,

"Yes, A-Xian. Wangji has his own legs and he could walk away if he wants to. I think he wants to stay by your side now. So let him be." Jiang Yanli said.

"Shijie, what are you talking? He is been kneeling here since morning!"

"That's his choice. We cannot tell him anything. You neither. So just enjoy his company. Alright?"

With that said, they both turned around to leave, leaving Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji alone.

Lan Wangji glanced at him but Wei Wuxian looked straight ahead. He was still not convinced. Lan Wangji who had always loved silence, did not like this. He knew Wei Wuxian was angry with him for taking a punishment that he wasn't told to. But he could not let Wei Wuxian suffer alone.

"Wei Ying," he called out.

Wei Wuxian remained still and silent, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Wei Ying," Lan Wangji called again.

Still, he did not receive any answer. Lan Wangji was growing impatient. He inhaled sharply, prepared himself, then, pulled Wei Wuxian towards him aggressively.

Wei Wuxian fell on him, almost taken in a shock. Lan Wangji then inched closer to Wei Wuxian, inhajed sharply once more and with red ears, he me called, "Husband."

Lan Wangji clearly heard Wei Wuxian's breath hitch in him. And he clearly saw Wei Wuxian's cheek redden.

"Lan Wangji!" He yelled.

Lan Wangji smiled. He had succeeded!

"What do you want?" Wei Wuxian asked, still in a bit of anger.

"I want to stay by you until your punishment is over." Lan Wangji replied obediently.

"What if I don't agree?" Wei Wuxian asked.

"I will still stay by your side until your punishment is over."

"Lan Zhan," Wei Wuxian said, looking at him with pained eyes, "What did I do to deserve all this?"

Lan Wangji smiled, it too contained some pain in it, "You made me happy." He simply replied.

Wei Wuxian let out a choked laugh at his answer, "I like to make people happy when they are around me. It does not mean anything."

"Wei Ying, ask yourself. Did you just like to make me happy when you are around me or did you love to make me happy when you are around me?"

"How does it differ?" Wei Wuxian asked in a low voice.

"It's very different. You can like everyone but you cannot love everyone. Think for yourself."

Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji who was, making him feel several things. And now, he was speaking a language that... Wei Wuxian did not want to understand!
