baby it's cold outside (WangXian FF)

18

When Lan Wangji came back down from the mountain, he saw that the place was swarming with people, and they brought a lot of heavy boxes with them – making him wonder what happened.

He then saw Yaoyao and the kids and they were so excited about something so he approached them to ask what happened.

“Wangji-gege, you’re back! Are you hungry? Binghe and Qingge prepared some food, buffet style, for all of us, and they were delicious! You should try some!” Yaoyao and the kids half dragged him into the backyard where he saw tables under a tent and they were filled with food and drinks, and of course everyone and the devil himself was there.

Wei Wuxian saw Lan Wangji and he beamed at him, making Lan Wangji’s heart beating faster and he could feel the tip of his ears were hot from blushing.

“Lan Zhan! Come sit beside me, I want to talk to you about something." Wei Wuxian patted the seat beside him and although Lan Wangji would love to refuse him, he saw that many people were there and he did not want to cause a commotion, so he sat beside Wei Wuxian – after moving the chair to a more safer distance.

Which caused Wei Wuxian to chuckle.

“So, Lan Zhan, I have a proposition for you.” He dragged his chair closer – mostly to tease the man. Hell he saw everything and did unspeakable, unholy things, and he acted like a maiden? Such an enigma.

“No.” Lan Wangji sternly refused him and started to stand up, when Wei Wuxian pulled him down to sit again.

“Not that kind of proposition – as much as I like to have a repeat performance – but this has to do with work. Are you interested now?”

Lan Wangji did not like how Wei Wuxian’s hand felt on his arm when he pulled him down, but when the latter spoke about work, his ears perked in interest. So he sat back down and looked straight into Wei Wuxian’s grey eyes without saying a word.

“I assume that you’re interested.” Wei Wuxian chuckled. “So, you must have heard that I’m a… moderately famous author from your friends… right? Well, I killed my main character and got a pretty heavy backlash for it, so I planned to make a new character for my next book.” He took out a sketchbook from his bag, and showed it to Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji eyed the book and the man suspiciously, but he decided that there was no harm in taking a look, so he opened it and gasped from surprise.

Inside, there were sketches of him in the ancient robe doing mundane things such as sitting, writing, playing guqin, and doing the sword dance.

From the delicateness of the sketch, he could tell that the artist was super talented, and paid attention to details, and he wondered when Wei Wuxian did this.

“This is…” He touched one of the sketches lightly as if afraid to ruin it if he pressed too hard.

“You. All of it.” Wei Wuxian smiled in satisfaction when he saw Lan Wangji’s reaction. “Do you like it?”

“I never knew that you are a very talented artist.” Lan Wangji took a last look at the sketches before he returned the book to Wei Wuxian. “But what does it have to do with me?” Now he was curious.

“Everything.” Wei Wuxian took the sketchbook and smiled at Lan Wangji. “If you heard from the others, you must have known that I killed my main protagonist before I went here.”

“Yes, I heard from them that you’re very… talented with your words too.” Lan Wangji cleared his throat and Wei Wuxian almost choked from disbelief.

They had fucked for the whole night long, for chrissake, and he was still acting like a prude maiden.

If only the people knew what kind of a beast their boss was…

“Anyway, I have this new protagonist for my next book, and I am willing to pay royalty for using their image and story. If the book becomes a best-seller, I will split the income with the model. What do you think?”

It took a minute for Lan Wangji to digest the meaning behind Wei Wuxian’s words, and when he did, he swiveled his head to face the other man and his eyes widened in surprise.

At first, his initial reaction was saying no.

Of course he would not do it.

He had dignity and his pride would not let him to get dragged down to the level of this… shamelessness.

He saw the cover of Wei Wuxian’s book and he couldn’t help but feel disgusted by the lewd pose and even lewder storyline.

But.

After he took a deep breath – and counted to a hundred – he started to see the prospect of becoming the model for the famous author’s book. That way, he would get an income – a stable and sizable one if Wei Wuxian’s books hit the best-sellers as his other ones – and he would have enough to take care of everyone.

It was an easy decision after that.

“How much?” He asked Wei Wuxian who widened his smile.

“We can talk in more detail later with our lawyers. But first, let me get you some food.”
