Souls (A Beautiful Love Story)

Food

Wei Wuxian's POV:

"What are you doing?" I grin at Lan Zhan's question. At times I feel he's as oblivious as me.

"What do you think I am doing?" Winking and blowing him a kiss, I turn back to stir contents inside the pot. "I am cooking, Lan Zhan."

"Yeah but why?" Joining me at the counter he fiddles with the hem of my tshirt.

"Well for one I wish to thank Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo. They took care of you and Sizhui when I wasn't here. So this is me thanking them." Adding few spices I turn sideways to look at Lan Zhan "Could you tie my hair? I don't have any of those hair ties."

A moment later he gently gathers my hair in his hands as I hum WuJi softly. "Wei Ying."

"Hm?"

"Do you want me to braid your hair?" He enquires and I shrug, "Lan Zhan, you've always been the one to comb my hair. I don't care. Do as you wish. They're yours." Missing his reaction to my statement, I stir the pot and continue humming.

"What happened to your red ribbon?" He continues to question me softly and this surprises me. Lan Zhan is never the one to initiate nor ask me questions. Hm.

Nudging his hip with mine I smirk, "Last night someone used it to tie me up and its all wrinkled now. Couldn't use it." Are his ears turning red? Oh my!

"Are you hurt?" His voice is so low that I might have missed it if it weren't for me paying attention to his rosy lips. They were bruised. "If you're asking I am sore? Then Lan er... GeGe, when am I not sore after our nightly debauchery? But hurt am not. You can never hurt me Lan Zhan."

"Hm."

Kissing his cheeks I add some vegetables to the pot when he questions me again. This time he was standing right behind me. "What are you cooking?"

"Noodles. This is the only ingredient that I am familiar with. Some of those spices are known to me. Rest," I shrug "ain't sure, but hopefully they'll love it." Kissing my nape softly he binds my hair together and I chuckle "If that kid from yesterday sees me now, she'll be calling me a princess."

"At least not calling you boyfriend." He mumbles and I burst out laughing. "Lan Zhan, you can't be seriously jealous of a kid. Wait you are, aren't you!?" Oh to make me speechless!

"You look good in my tshirt and trousers." Taking me in his arms he kisses the back of my head "I like you in my clothes. Without it is even more better." Flirty Lan Zhan is so rare.

"Lan Zhan."

"Hm?"

"What's wrong? You're being awfully clingy and asking too many questions today. This isn't like you." What is wrong with my Lan Zhan?

"Nothing. Just... missed you." At his honest confession I turn in his arms and kiss him deeply. "I missed you too, Lan er... GeGe."

"Stop seducing me Wei Ying or else I will take you right here, right now." He growls and I kiss his nose. "You really want me to stop? We still have your forehead band that you can use to tie me up," perching on my toes I whisper in his ears "and if that gets ruined, we can always use these hair ties."

"Wei Ying!" He warns and I giggle.

Dipping a spoon into the pot I scoop some for Lan Zhan to taste. "How is it?"

"Hm." Kissing his cheeks I close the pot with its lid and start my famous conjee.

"Lan Zhan?"

"Hm?"

"How is Akio?" At my question his hands still at my back as he places his chin on my shoulder. "He's a good kid. Good heart. Likes Sizhui too. Why?"
