THE GAME

Chapter 14

Lan Wangji was on top of the world, holding onto the person he wanted to keep for the rest of his life. He would be sure to reward the dog with a truckload of snacks and more toys for landing him this opportunity. He didn't expect Wei Ying to coward in his arms because of a dog who merely got excited because its toy was clinging to his clothes.

"This does not...Make us...okay. I still hate you!", Wei Ying stammered, stabbing Wangji right in the heart.

"I didn't mean to upset you, let me put you down.", Wangji was straight forward.

"No, no, no, I didn't say you could do that! You're the reason why I'm in this mess so you have to take responsibility.", he frowned.

Jiang Cheng wheezed when he saw Wangji holding onto his senior brother. He was prepared to charge but someone caught him before he could take another step.

"Mnnf! Mnnnnnh!", Xichen held onto his lips and dragged him away until they were out of sight. He pinned the omega against the wall. "Listen...You should let them have their moment."

"Mfff! Mnn! *Trying to say let go.*", Jiang Cheng stepped on Xichen's feet and he retracted his hand. "Are you trying to kill me?!", A'Cheng massaged his jaw with a pained look on his face.

"Sorry...", Xichen took a step back to catch his breath.

"I don't care who you and Lan Wangji think you are, I'm not letting him manipulate my brother."

"Jiang Cheng, Wangji loves Wei Ying...If you could just give him a chance to win him over, we could end this madness."

"Liar!... That guy is not staying anywhere near Wei Ying.", Jiang was up in arms. Why would he accept such a thing when the jades could not even handle a few pranks. He tried to escape but ZewuJun pulled him back, slamming him against the hard wall again.

"Sorry, but I can't let you go there."

"And what are you gonna do, silence me?", Jiang Cheng scoffed. Lan Xichen massaged his temple. How could he have forgotten about this in his hour of need? "Great idea...How odd of me to let this slip my mind.", he chuckled.

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and pursed his lips to speak but something strange happened. No matter how much he tried, his lips could not part. They were stuck together. "Mnnn!!", he stared at the enemy who was holding up a bright smile.

"Don't bother trying...I used the silencing spell. I'm sure you know by now that the more you struggle, the longer those pretty lips will remain sealed. Now, be a dear and calm down.", he pulled Jiang Cheng's cheeks. Without further delay, he hurled the Angry Lotus over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and looked for a different way out.

Meanwhile, Lan Wangji walked into the building carrying Wei Ying in his arms. He had no other option since the omega refused to get down. Frankly, he also didn't want to let go. Wei Ying was so close he could feel his breath on his fair skin.

"Lan Wangji, why does it feel like your hands are grabbing my butt so tight...We're not even friends", Wei Ying looked at him with a frown.

"Sorry if you're uncomfortable, I could just let you down...", Wangji loosened his grip.

"No! I-I didn't mean it...Hehe, we're good friends, we're buddies. Wangji my man, please don't put me down.", Wei Ying panicked. He latched onto Hanguanjun like glue and that melted the alpha's senses. He'd do this every day if it would make Wei Ying call him his man. "Hey, why are your ears turning red?", Wei Ying studied the change.

"It's nothing...", Wangji's face was blank. In no time they were at the reception area and heading towards the door.

"Wangji, we can't leave the seniors alone..."
