A Ghost of Snow

38. Happy Things

Early in the morning the next day, the Jingshi was graced by two little men dressed elegantly in white robes, looking adorable and graceful at the same time. One of them looked slightly more excited about the day than the other, his warm brown eyes shone like stars when he looked at the man sitting in front of the mirror and the other standing behind him with a comb in his hand.

"A-Yuan", he whispered, grabbing his friend's attention, "Why do you think he keeps screaming at Second Young Master?"

"I don't know, I've never seen him like this before.", he whispered back, both of them found the conversation between the two older men slightly amusing and scary at the same time. Although Wei Wuxian kept screaming all kinds of threats, his face clearly showed that he didn't really mean it.

"Xiao Qi, do you think we should call for help?", A-Yuan questioned sincerely. He was afraid that his Xian Gege was going to burst into tears at any moment. Lan Qi only nodded in response, the Second Young Master Lan looked defeated and maybe on the verge of tears. Anyways, he looked like someone had taken away his favourite candy. This was beyond being amusing now.

Meanwhile what people on the other side of the door heard were screaming and shouting from the inside, which didn't sound quite appropriate. If they hadn't known that there were two kids inside, they would have thought there were some unholy activities going on.

"LAN ZHAN!"

"AHHH....AHHH....LAN ZHAN PLEASE BE SLOWER!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WAIT!!!!! THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT."

"AHHHHH"

"LAN ZHAN! IF YOU DON'T STOP RIGHT NOW, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU....AHHH!"

"THAT'S IT! I AM NEVER LETTING YOU TOUCH IT AGAIN!"

"STAY AWAY!"

"DON'T TOUCH IT! I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY! LAN ZHAN!"

Those were some examples of the sounds coming from the Jingshi. To say that it was traumatising for the Gusu Lan disciples would be an understatement. The newly weds' family stood on the door with inexplicable expressions on their faces, contemplating whether to knock or just barge in or maybe just return without them.

"LAN ZHAN YOU REALLY ARE LIKE A MONSTER, I AM NEVER LETTING YOU DO IT AGAIN. CAN'T YOU BE GENTLER. YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER HURT ME."

"But I am being gentle."

"NO YOU ARE NOT! LIAR!"

"I am not a liar. You're being mean."

And then....Silence!

When even after a good few seconds, there was no sound, Lan Xichen finally raised his hand to knock but the door opened before he could. All of them collectively looked down to see two little boys staring at them.

The older of the two quickly chirped, "I think both of them are going to cry soon.", he quickly grabbed the other boy's hand and ran away.

"Should we just run away too?", Lan Xichen asked no one in particular.

"You are not a child.", Lan Qiren sternly spoke, although a little part of him wanted to comply and go back too, he didn't want to deal with all the drama anymore, but time was of essence, they had a rituals to carry out and the two people inside were needed for them.

"I am sure, you would want to know what could possibly make you brother cry?", that earned him a sly smirk from his older nephew who now walked in without any hesitation.

To be very honest, this was not what he expected to find when he walked in, Wei Wuxian was now sobbing, Lan Wangji hugging him whispering "I am sorry", with tears in his eyes, Wei Wuxian's hair were more of a mess than they usually were, while his younger nephew was still holding a silver comb in one of his hands.
