Fix You

Chapter 3

Waking up the following day after Nie Huaisang let himself in, but with the good stuff came with a killer headache. Ruefully, he thought to himself that this time he might have had too much. Since everything from the previous night was foggy at best. Slowly he got up from the floor, because of course he had to be on the fucking floor of the bathroom. Jiang Cheng made his way to the kitchen to see that his place had been cleaned up. Also was that food he was smelling?

           Looking around Jiang Cheng found Lan Xichen of all fucking people in his kitchen cooking. He didn't even think the guy knew how to, but of course he did. For that matter what the fuck was he even here in the first place? Also where the fuck did Nie Huaisang disappear to. Ugh. Forget about it. He desperately needed to take some painkillers and have something to drink. 

            At that moment Lan Xichen turned around to face him. “I made you something light to eat since it will be easier on your stomach” Lan Xichen said to him with that damn smile of his. “Also, here are some painkillers and water to help you.” 

        “What the fuck are doing here–no, nevermind.” Nie-fucking-Huaisang. Once I get a hold of you, you are so dead. At least his home no longer smelled like sweat, rotten trash, and desperation. Not that he would thank the prick. No. Not going to happen. “Since when did you learn how to cook?”

         “Oh. Well, I have always liked to cook. Plus it is very relaxing, and it is something that I have done with Wangji a lot. Matter of fact, he is better at it than I am.” He said with a look of–is that amusement on his face. Nope, Jiang Cheng must be seeing things again. 

        “Of course you're good at this.” Jiang Cheng snarled back. “You're the peerless fucking Zewu-Jun. You could probably even walk on water, couldn't you?” He huffed, crossing his arms, before leaning against… nothing. He fell flat on his ass. 

  

         Lan Xichen was shocked by what Jiang Cheng said to him. Though he had to hold back his laugh as the man ended up falling onto the floor. That was a bit unexpected, and for a second he didn't know how to react. With barely any noticeable pause he reached down to help Jiang Cheng up. Though his hand was slapped away. Finding it all amusing thinking to himself that his reaction was kinda cute in an angry cat kind of way. 

         “Are you okay? That had to be a hard fall.” Lan Xichen had to ask to make sure the man was not hurt. 

        “The fuck, i am fine. Leave me alone. For that matter, get out of my house!” Jiang Cheng practically yelled at him. 

        Ugh. Why the fuck did he have to do that? Now he was going to really lose face in front of the perfect fucking Lan in front of him. Well even more so after yesterday's disaster. And, of course the Lan had to try to be nice and help him up. As if he was incapable of doing so on his own. 

       “ You should eat while the food is still warm.” Lan Xichen told him. Begrudgingly he sat at the bar area and saw the rice and was that soup? With some grilled fish as well. Picking up his chopsticks he took a bite. Surprisingly it was actually good. Of course it was good, but still not as good as his jiejie’s cooking. Before he knew it he had eaten all of it, and Lan Xichen grabbed the dishes and started cleaning up. 

        “Would you like to go out for a walk? Maybe get some fresh air. It should help with your hangover.” Lan Xichen said after he finished. 

        “Why the fuck would I do that? I am perfectly fine with staying here, and I don't need any fucking fresh air.” Jiang Cheng responded grumpily.
