Untamed Feeling ( wangxian )

chapter fifty five🫰

He ran a few more steps toward Lan WangJi, pretending that he was going to chase him. As he had expected, Lan WangJi started to go in the opposite direction. As though he was playing with a toddler, Wei WuXian cooperated as best as he could, chasing him around the screen a few more times.

This state of Lan Wangji was entirely different—heedless of rules, unbothered by running or making noise. He indulged freely, emotions raw and unrestrained, joy written openly across his face.

Wei Wuxian watched the drunk yet endearingly honest Lan Wangji, his expression softening. Silently, he vowed that the child buried deep within Lan Wangji’s heart would never again be smothered by discipline and restraint of GusuLan Sect—not while he was there.

"Run, run. Go faster. I'm gonna catch you! If I catch you, I'm going to lick you again. Scared, much?"

Lan Xichen steadied his emotions and glanced at Wei Wuxian with awkward expressions “Wrong move, Young Master Wei.”

Only now did he understand—Lan Wangji was not afraid of Wei Wuxian at all. He was enjoying it. Every bit of attention, every moment of pampering, he was quietly, wholeheartedly taking it in.
He knew—now more than ever—of the dark, carefully restrained desires his brother harbored for Wei Wuxian. And Wei Wuxian’s words, spoken so innocently, were nothing short of an invitation.

“Huh???” Wei Wuxian blinked in confusion. He frowned slightly, baffled as he thought, How is pampering Lan Zhan a wrong move?

Lan Xichen stole a glance at his brother, who was clearly flustered by everything unfolding before them.

He originally intended it to be a threat. However, Lan WangJi suddenly walked toward him from the other side of the screen, and the two bumped into each other.

Wei WuXian was planning to catch him, not at all expecting that he'd walk right into his arms. Speechlessly startled, he even forgot to reach out. Seeing that Wei WuXian didn't do anything, Lan WangJi lifted his tied-up hands and brought them over his neck as if he voluntarily slipped into an unbreakable trap, "You caught me."

Wei WuXian, "... Huh? Yes, I caught you."

As though he was waiting for something to happen but it never did, Lan WangJi repeated the three words again. This time, he enunciated each word with heavy emphasis and sounded anxiously eager, "You caught me."

Wei WuXian, "Yeah. I caught you."

He caught him. What else?

Wei Wuxian turned to Hanguang-jun, eyes full of confusion.“Lan Zhan, why did you surrender?” he asked innocently. “Don’t you want to play more?”

Jin Ling and Jingyi exchanged a glance, identical mischief flickering in their eyes. Jingyi cleared his throat.
“Senior Wei.”

Wei Wuxian looked at him. “He wants a reward.”

“A reward?” Wei Wuxian echoed inwardly. The word barely finished forming before realization struck. His eyes widened in shock.

“L–Lan Zhan…”

What did he say? What was he going to do after catching him?
