In the Future

Wang Lion is Sick

Wei Wuxian had been beaten. At brother-reader Lan Xichen's advice, he went to the cold springs for healing.

He skipped and hopped down the mountain. "Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan!" he shouted cheerfully, seeing Lan Wangji, who was soaking in the water, from afar.

The camera did a close up on Lan Zhan's back. "Ok, cut! Let's add a close-up shot of Lan Wangji turning around."

In the midst of the different crews making preparations, Xiao Zhan leaned against a bamboo stalk, grinning. "Yibo, how does it feel in the water? Is it comfortable?"

Wang Yibo nodded. "It's ok, just a bit cold after being immersed for an entire morning." While speaking, he got out of the water, walking towards Xiao Zhan with a bare torso. His skin was translucently white, his body was well-shaped and wasn't as thinly frail as it usually looked. Just the opposite, the bulging abdominal muscles accentuated his muscularity and substantial frame.

Wang Yibo chuckled. "Is Xiao Laoshi very interested in my abs? Wanna feel them?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan rubbed his nose ruefully and turned around. "Tch, what's so amazing about them, as if no one else has them."

"Oh? Then you're saying that Xiao Laoshi also works out regularly? You've already seen mine, I haven't seen yours yet, comparatively speaking it seems I'm losing out?"

"Nonsense, would you say that it's even possible for someone who wants to stay in this industry to not lose weight and work out? I'm just wearing more today, usually, letting you take a look wouldn't do much harm. Aiya, you should hurry and put on your clothes, the weather is hot but you just got out of the water, with the mountain wind, it'll be bad if you catch a cold later."

Wang Yibo walked towards him, leaning close to Xiao Zhan's ear and saying softly, "Zhan-ge, then I'll come to your room tonight to take a look at your abs?"

Xiao Zhan's blushed fiercely. He pushed Wang Yibo away, saying hastily, "You-what are you thinking? I have a recent program that requires dance practice, I don't have time right now, there'll be chances in the future, chances in the future."

"Zhan-ge, you're not getting shy, are you..." Wang Yibo chuckled, continuing his teasing.

"You..."

"Actors, to your places, let's supplement a shot of Lan Zhan's frontal view."

"Ok, Zhan-ge I'm going to go shoot first, regarding the abs, we can talk about it later."

Each station was ready, Wang Yibo returned to the water and several cameras surrounded him, filming. Xiao Zhan, overcome by boredom, leaning against the pole like before, watching the other side film. He didn't know why, but his mind remembered that night again, that kiss and that shudder the moment that cold hand touched his skin. At this thought, goosebumps mysteriously rose all over Xiao Zhan's body. He shook his head, clearing out the unhealthy images in his mind.

It was quite ironic, in the drama Wei Wuxian teased Lan Zhan relentlessly, forcibly bringing an elegant, just, fine man onto a crooked road.

In reality, Xiao Zhan was truly from a family of scholars, but met a maverick like Wang Yibo, who, though 6 years younger, completely didn't play by the rules, and teased him until his heart felt fuzzy.

Perhaps this was what it meant by "what goes around, comes around"...

"Ok, cut. Next scene is filmed inside the cave, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, you two enter the set first, and the calibration machine, keep up with them."

At the Director's command, the actors and crew began moving around. Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan thought that since they were already soaked through and didn't want to stand dripping wet in the cold mountain wind, they followed the river and entered the cave first.
