@Wei Wuxian Noting that the smaller male had just about spent up all his energy, Lan Wangji had a small smile on his face as he forced his hands away from the softness and delicacy that was Wei Wuxian's buttocks, instead traveling up to embrace the younger as he fell forward, panting from the rigorous exercise he just put himself through. He could feel Wei Wuxian's thighs trembling, as they were spread apart by Lan Wangji's legs. The older male shook his head, complimenting the smaller male, "You did a lot." he said, then tightened his grip, wanting to finish it up for them.

Lan Wangji didn't find this position particularly easy when it came to his own range of motion, as ing upwards was not only more strenuous but made the bed frame under them creak even louder and more frequently than before. Flipping them over so that Wei Wuxian was lying on his back again, Lan Wangji began his animalistic s again, this time not holding back. He wanted to finish quickly, because the male underneath him was very much worn out. Under the moonlight that seeped into the room from the window blinds, Lan Wangji was faintly making out the blush spread across Wei Wuxian's cheek. It wasn't very clear, but Lan Wangji had a feeling his inference was correct, as Wei Wuxian's body was indeed very warm below him.

When he was not making the conscious effort of holding back, Lan Wangji's second release came relatively faster than the first. Though it was probably by no means quick for Wei Wuxian, whose sense of time must have passed much slower than Lan Wangji's, the latter eventually released his second load into the tight and abused entrance. Lan Wangji carefully removed himself afterwards, not wasting any more time so that Wei Wuxian wouldn't experience any discomfort longer than necessary. Placing a sweet kiss on the other's soft lips, Lan Wangji murmured lowly, "Sleep. I will clean you up." He helped the smaller male lay flat down again, the pillow resting under the crook of Wei Wuxian's neck as Lan Wangji always set it up to be.

By now, the water in their basin was cold, and Lan Wangji was a little reluctant to use it. However, tonight was not his duty to be outside on guard - it rarely was anymore - and their sect did not allow anyone to be wandering outside this late at night...especially /this/ late at night. Sighing softly, he wrung the towel dry and went over to Wei Wuxian, first wiping the smaller's face, dabbing it gently. He rinsed the towel twice more, once to clean Wei Wuxian's chest, and the second for his lower regions. Lan Wangji would properly help the smaller clean himself tomorrow.

He did not forgot his original position that he chose to sleep in that night, pulling Wei Wuxian's smaller frame against his own as he got in bed beside the other. An arm wrapped around Wei Wuxian's waist, Wei Wuxian's head tucked under his chin. Lan Wangji wouldn't mind sleeping like this if Wei Wuxian didn't, honestly.

@Lan Wangji A low, purring noise began to emerge from the back of Wei Wuxian's throat when he felt Lan Wangji's large hands cup his bottom, kneading the soft flesh of his buttocks like a warm and pliant piece of dough. It felt good - not particularly good but the thought of it was arousing. Wei Wuxian's length was standing hard again, precum leaking out the tip and smeared between their moving bodies.

With Lan Wangji's hands supporting some of his weight now, Wei Wuxian gave their chests a little distance, dropping his gaze to the space between them. He could see the delectable way he sunk down on Lan Wangji's arousal, the delicious way Lan Wangji's was sliding in and out of his abused and puffy entrance. A jolt of pleasure ran through him when Lan Wangji began to rock up into him, and Wei Wuxian fell forward against his lover again. His mouth found Lan Wangji's blush-warmed ear, and he took a fleshy earlobe into his mouth, biting a little rougher than he intended. His kiss trailed up to the outer shell of Lan Wangji's ear, his teeth scraping against the cartilage.

Wei Wuxian's head was spinning. He dropped his chin back onto Lan Wangji's shoulder, his bouncing on the other's lap slowing before it ceased, and he was just sitting with Lan Wangji's shaft buried deep inside him. "I..." he began, a noticeable tremor in his voice. "I can't anymore," he wailed in defeat, his thighs convulsing on either sides of Lan Wangji from his previous exhaustion and his effort. "Lan Zhan, please-" He focused all of his energy into lifting himself once more, but he only go up halfway before he fell back into Lan Wangji's lap with a (rather unmanly) squeak. Pink bloomed across his cheeks, tinting the edges of his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, determined to at least pleasure Lan Wangji to finish, even if his body refused to release again.

@Wei Wuxian In this new position, Lan Wangji found himself rather idle, not having anything to do while Wei Wuxian was putting in all the effort instead. Despite realizing this, Lan Wangji was not making any attempt to complain. Rather, he found it a perfect opportunity to focus on other little ministrations. Wei Wuxian was finding his own pace, which Lan Wangji found as enamoring as when he was lying underneath. The way Wei Wuxian would let out breathy moans every time he impaled himself, the tip of Lan Wangji's shaft digging against a sensitive bundle of nerves, allowed his hot breath to hit Lan Wangji's skin, fusing with the cool air of the room and sending tingles across his skin again.

His hands found their way to Wei Wuxian's buttocks. What had appeared just to be simply gripping onto those thick cushions at first had now turned into a full-on kneading session, as Lan Wangji massaged the flesh between his fingers. He met Wei Wuxian's kiss with just as much passion as the smaller, his eyes closed when their close proximity was more than enough to settle him. Just the way Wei Wuxian called his name made the hairs along the nape of Lan Wangji's nape stand, and he hummed lowly in response, "En."

Lan Wangji had never considered changing positions before, and while he did like the change in pace, he did feel a pang of pity for leaving the smaller to do all the work - to chase after his own pleasure. After a while, he felt himself slowly bucking his hips upwards, trying to match Wei Wuxian's pacing such that he could help out a little. Though he wasn't sure how the pleasure differed from this position to their previous one for the smaller male, Lan Wangji could at least tell it was bringing pleasure. Wei Wuxian's contorted facial reactions were still clearly visible, and when not, it was when the smaller male lost himself to the ecstasy, throwing his head backwards. It was a perfect opportunity for Lan Wangji to bite down on Wei Wuxian's long neck.

@Lan Wangji Wei Wuxian let out a sigh of relief as they rocked slowly so Lan Zhan could sit with Wei Wuxian straddling him, the blood rushing back into his legs after such a long while of having them spread and hanging in the air. In this new position, he could feel the tip of Lan Wangji's member rubbing his sensitive spots in a different way, easily eliciting breathy moans from Wei Wuxian again.

Sliding forward so his bare chest pressed against Lan Wangji's Wei Wuxian rested his chin on the other's shoulder. Lan Wangji's outer robe was slightly dampened with sweat, something Wei Wuxian took great delight in discovering. As steady as he could lift himself on his shaky legs, Wei Wuxian rose until he felt only the tip of Lan Wangji's member inside him before he sunk down on it again. His calmed breaths became ragged again as he rode Lan Wangji with a reignited vigour. His thighs worked hard to get him in his up-down rhythm, the bulge of muscle flexing and contracting each time Wei Wuxian forced himself up and let himself fall back down. The act of impaling himself on Lan Wangji's hard length was arousing enough to mask over the uncomfortable tightness of his own .

Catching Lan Wangji's mouth in another passionate, sloppy kiss, Wei Wuxian closed his arms around Lan Wangji's neck, keeping the older close. "Lan Zhan," he rasped, just /knowing/ how much Lan Wangji liked his name falling from Wei Wuxian's mouth. He nipped and bit at Lan Wangji's lips, the previous aggression absent from his maiden persona making its full comeback.

@Wei Wuxian Never did Lan Wangji think he would hear the word "Shameless!" being used on himself, and of all people who might use it on him was Wei Wuxian. He was rather amused by this, unable to deny that at this point, his actions were indeed a bit shameless. It was very possible that they had rubbed off on each other. "En." he responded, but continuing with his actions anyways. As the smaller male wrapped his arms around Lan Wangji's neck, their faces were drawn closer together, and Lan Wangji couldn't help himself from committing another daring act of kissing Wei Wuxian's lips briefly.

He felt Wei Wuxian pulling on him, the other seemingly putting up another struggle. "Lift me up," Wei Wuxian demanded, in which Lan Wangji stopped in his tracks, puzzled by what the smaller male meant. Did he want to be lifted up and in a different position? Was Lan Wangji supposed to lift him entirely in his arms? Would it even work that way? Probably seeing the confused look on his face, Wei Wuxian then added, "I want to sit-"

"Okay." Lan Wangji replied as he gently reached a hand underneath Wei Wuxian, supporting the small of the other's back as he gently picked the male up. Without removing himself from Wei Wuxian's entrance, Lan Wangji sat down on the bed, holding tightly onto the smaller male, somewhat worried that if he let go, Wei Wuxian would impale himself on Lan Wangji's hardening . Now that Wei Wuxian was in his lap, Lan Wangji found himself having to tilt his head back the slightest to look at the smaller's face. In this new angle, Wei Wuxian's face was still as captivating as ever. Realizing that they were in a new position that could still elicit the same effects, Lan Wangji gave Wei Wuxian's hips an encouraging push again, not giving the smaller any break time.

@Lan Wangji Wei Wuxian was content to lie there, chest heaving, after Lan Wangji finished inside him, warming him from the core. His laboured breaths evened out as they stilled, yet still connected at the hips. Looking up at Lan Wangji's face, Wei Wuxian noticed how dilated his pupils were, and he held back a bark of laughter, looping his bound arms around Lan Wangji's neck. "Lan Zhan," he murmured, his voice tinged with exhaustion. "What am I going to do with you?"

His question did not warrant an answer, but it seemed Lan Wangji had his own non-verbal way to respond. He felt Lan Wangji shift against him and glanced up, questioning. He opened his mouth to ask, but was cut off by the odd sensation of Lan Wangji's arousal hardening inside him again, the pace picking right back up to what it had been just moments before. Wei Wuxian gasped, lurching up before his head slammed back down again. "

"Shameless!" Wei Wuxian cried, echoing the line he heard most from Lan Wangji. He felt as though his insides were being torn apart, but he persisted, grunting as he lifted his hips for Lan Wangji. His young maiden guise had long gone out the window, with Wei Wuxian more focused on pleasing Lan Wangji a second time, never one to back down from a challenge. If Lan Er could have the stamina for another round, why couldn't he? Wei Wuxian clung heavier onto Lan Wangji's neck, trying to lift himself up. It was hard, with how his lower half was being rutted into the bed.

"Lift me up," Wei Wuxian demanded as he bit back a moan, hoping Lan Wangji would get what he meant without too many words - it was hard to speak as his worn out body tried to react and rest at the same time. With how loud he had been, he was afraid the Lan disciples would grow concerned and send people to investigate. "I-" he puffed breathlessly, his knees squeezing into Lan Wangji's side. "I want to sit-"

@Wei Wuxian Lan Wangji didn't see Wei Wuxian's release coming, though he had been observing the other's face carefully. It was only when the other let out extremely loud moans and the bigger male felt the pulsing organ in his hand that he connected one and one. Even as the other released, his back arching and his fists balled up, Lan Wangji continued to go, now rest assured that he could chase after his own as well.

"Enough," he heard Wei Wuxian gasp out. Despite hearing this, Lan Wangji's motions made no motion to slow down, let alone stop altogether. He was getting and closer, the small sweat drops on his forehead glistening as his pace continued on, his hips so familiar with the motion that it had become muscle memory. "Lan Zhan, I said enough- I'm- ah-" he heard Wei Wuxian chastising him again, but Lan Wangji couldn't help himself, and he pressed his lips to the smaller's again, ignoring the protests until he reached his own release. He shot his load deep inside the smaller male's orifice, letting out a long, drawn out sigh as his motions finally slowed, his hips rolling against the other's buttocks to calm down from his high.

Below him, Wei Wuxian's heaving chest was also indicative of the intensity he had experienced. Lan Wangji didn't make an attempt to pull out yet, simply allowing their two figures to lay in the silence of the Silent Chamber, which had finally returned to the state it was originally meant to be in. He swallowed hard, looking down at Wei Wuxian, the smaller's sweet face was covered in a thin layer of sweat and his lips looked brutally abused. Lan Wangji leaned in, peppering kisses against the smaller's lip apologetically for his roughness. However, instead of letting that be the end of it, once he got his breathing stabilize again, Lan Wangji began to roll his hips again, his shaft shifting inside of Wei Wuxian, stimulating the smaller's sore insides once more.

@Lan Wangji Wei Wuxian had originally intended for Lan Wangji to break, but in the midst of getting thoroughly ed, he caught sight of how utterly composed Lan Wangji's expression was. It was the same face he had when he was doing /anything/. Save for his quickened breaths, Wei Wuxian could actually be questioning if Lan Wangji was even feeling anything.

He didn't even have the energy to babble his nonsense anymore as Lan Wangji ground deeper and harder inside him, abusing the ever tightening ring of muscles. With Lan Wangji all over him, stimulating and pleasuring him from every different way possible, Wei Wuxian felt himself drawing closer and closer to his release. Despite how his arms had numbed and he could barely feel his fingers anymore, it only added to the arousing scene of Hanguang Jun pinning him down and taking him, hard and raw.

It felt like forever they'd been going at it. Wei Wuxian's insides were beginning to ache from Lan Wangji's powerful s. It further aroused him, and before he knew it, Wei Wuxian's release caught up with him, spilling hot and white all over Lan Wangji's hand. His moans turned into cries as his body became oversensitive, reacting to every little part of Lan Wangji that touched him. "Enough," he choked out, kneeing Lan Wangji in his side in a futile effort to get him to stop, or at least slow down. Every single one of his nerves were standing on end, overstimulated. It was as though he were about to burst any second. His hole clenched down harder on Lan Wangji against his will, fire pooling in his abdomen. "Lan Zhan, I said enough- I'm- ah-"

@Wei Wuxian Lan Wangji furrowed his brows when Wei Wuxian called his name between moans, the hand that was pinning the other's arms down slightly relented, letting Wei Wuxian have some freedom of movement again. Afterall, the smaller male's moans were giving Lan Wangji a good idea that he wouldn't be pushed away again. The pressure of Wei Wuxian's legs around his waist was also somewhat grounding for Lan Wangji and he let out a low moan in response to the other's pleading.

Lan Wangji's release was building again, after who knows how long of this continuous, repetitive action. There was the occassional squelching sound that their connected bodies would make, but it seemed it was becoming a frequent occurence when Lan Wangji's fluids were threatening to release probably leaking already.

He still had the hope to release with the smaller male, which made him the other even rapidly, his hand making sure to span from base to tip, the viscosity of Wei Wuxian's premature fluids coating his palm. The only indicator of Lan Wangji's building release was the increased pace of his breathing. Other than that, not even a single expression gave it away. He was too focused on reading Wei Wuxian's face, the other's plentiful expressions revealing some patterns to Lan Wangji's observing eyes. He was able to see how Wei Wuxian's lips would part as the smaller moaned in pleasure, how his brows would crease and his nose would scrunch up, and how his eyes fluttered open and shut. Hence, Lan Wangji always maintained this position. He loved to take in the view that Wei Wuxian offered.

@Lan Wangji Wei Wuxian managed a cackle when he saw how Lan Wangji's ears glowed pink from his teasing, though his amusement was short lived. His bubbling laughter was cut off abruptly with a particularly hard from Lan Wangji, drawing out a groaning moan from Wei Wuxian. "Gently!" Wei Wuxian cried in reminder, which was promptly ignored as Lan Wangji settled into a much more unpredictable pace.

Wei Wuxian loved it. He loved how unrestrained Lan Wangji became in their private space, loved how teeth nipped and bruised his skin, loved the sound of their skin slapping against each other that filled the Silent Chamber. No matter what Lan Wangji did to Wei Wuxian, he accepted it - he was /desperate/ for it. Years of longing that he did not even realize himself, and now he finally had Lan Wangji.

"Lan Zhan," Wei Wuxian choked out, his voice breaking to the rhythm of Lan Wangji's movements. He made a strangled noise when Lan Wangji's large hand covered his length, eliciting a needy cry out of him. "There you go again," he babbled, the back of his head knocking into the bed when he tried to go lax again. "Always in such a hurry, Lan Er Gonzi. What are you trying to prove- ah!" The musky scent of sweat and something sweet filled Wei Wuxian's senses, and he began to tighten around Lan Wangji again. His legs hooked over Lan Wangji's needing something to ground himself. His arms were beginning to get increasingly number, and Wei Wuxian made another futile attempt to jerk his hands away from Lan Wangji's. "Oh- oh, Wangji, more- I want to feel you more-"

@Wei Wuxian Lan Wangji could feel the tight entrance tightening around him as he sunk himself in. The soft moans coming from the younger were quite rhythmic, helping Lan Wangji develop the pace of his s. Wei Wuxian's use of nicknames though, they brought the pink back to Lan Wangji's ears. The words alone were not enough to send tingles down his spine, but the tone seemed to set them in action.

"Ah... you're so big... and me? Gege, how do i feel...?"

Lan Wangji gritted his teeth when he heard that question. He was never the type to answer these types of questions outrightedly. It was a known fact to Wei Wuxian that when Lan Wangji didn't want to answer something, especially if it was a shameful question, he'd just keep quiet. However, he didn't want the other to think he thought negatively of the question, thus he settled for a particularly hard , letting out a small grunt into the other's ear, indicating his feelings.

Wei Wuxian's mouth was a dangerous weapon, it made Lan Wangji lose control. It was always teasing him, enticing him, luring him. Lan Wangji wondered if the smaller male even recognized this innate ability of his. Just to give himself a break, Lan Wangji connected their lips again, swallowing all of the smaller's moans. He applied a little pressure, tongue at the corner of Wei Wuxian's lip, asking permission for entrance. All the meanwhile, Lan Wangji's s had become more erratic, the oil, now mixed with his own fluids, helped him. He could feel the smaller male rutting against him and Lan Wangji figured he'd give the smaller a little help, reaching a hand down to press Wei Wuxian's hips against the bed, his hand naturally taking the length and starting to to the pace of his s.

@Lan Wangji Wei Wuxian's chest tightened as he held his breath when he felt the addition of another finger. He chewed on his already bruised and swollen lips, his teeth digging harder into the sensitive flesh when he felt heat bloom over his cheeks. Shameless as he was, a blush rarely took over his cheeks, but having Lan Wangji's huge and imposing form hovering over him, staking claim over his body: it was enough to make anyone go red.

Slowly but surely, Wei Wuxian was becoming more pliant in Lan Wangji's hands, his legs relaxing around Wangji's sides and his toes unfurling from being so tightly clenched previously. The gentle, cloud-soft feeling of Lan Wangji's lips mouthing along the contour of his jaw soothed and quiet him for a moment. He nudged his cheek against Lan Wangji's face, wanting to show his affection even without his hands. He hoped his submissive act would convey to Lan Wangji his silent plea for mercy, too.

Lan Wangji's member was much thicker than his three fingers. Wei Wuxian stiffened again when he felt the warm, wet rod poke against his slick entrance. This time, he could not help a long, crying whine as Lan Wangji sunk deep into his body. His abdominal muscles contracted uncomfortably, and he began to try and yank his hands free again, wanting desperately to fist something into his hands. Though Wei Wuxian figured he should have grown accustomed to the stretch now, it still stung with the help of the oil. Mingling with the pain, however, was the pleasure of Lan Wangji's hard member sliding and rubbing up against his soft insides, and he ended his cry with a soft sigh.

Involuntarily, Wei Wuxian's body arched and twisted as he struggled to adjust to the new intrusion. His soft pants and gasps gave an indication to just how much Wei Wuxian was enjoying it all, though. He rutted his hips closed to Lan Wangji's grinding up on the other's length. "Er gege," he moaned, his usually boisterous voice suddenly sultry and dripping honey, his eyes fluttering close when he rested back into the bed. "Ah... you're so big... and me? Gege, how do i feel...?"

@Wei Wuxian The inside of Wei Wuxian was always warm, but Lan Wangji always felt a new excitement rush through him every time. Lan Wangji pressed his lips together, suppressing a smile that had threatened to span across his lips when Wei Wuxian's chest arched upwards and touched his own. Lan Wangji always had the premonition that Wei Wuxian purposely put up a struggle, that his words always meant opposite of his feelings, and once he made the smaller forget his role for that brief moment, Lan Wangji confirmed his suspicions. Whatever the case, his face didn't show any signs of surprise or change, simply adding in another finger once the smaller male's thrashing was subdued.

Lan Wangji was already thinking to himself, that he genuinely loved the way his name rolled of Wei Wuxian's lips. It just sounded so much better, regardless of what tone, what accent, or what situation Wei Wuxian called his name in. He could feel Wei Wuxian's wrists twisting and turning under his hand, which only urged him to apply a little more pressure as a warning.

"I'm good, so be kind to me." Wei Wuxian asserted, to which Lan Wangji had no reaction.

Rather, he added another finger in, stretching the tight entrance with care. Wei Wuxian's little show, though stopped halfway from his surprise at the intrusion, had done a significant job at exciting Lan Wangji's manhood, and as the smaller male was writhing below him, Lan Wangji decided he needed something to distract his mind as he was preparing Wei Wuxian. Afterall, he couldn't let his impatience get the best of him, lest he hurt Wei Wuxian unintentionally. He lowered his head attaching his lips to Wei Wuxian's jawline, pressing gentle kisses along it. This time, Lan Wangji was specifically doing as his partner had requested of him - he was being the kindest he could be by holding back with the teeth marks. His lips grazed along the sharp jawline, appreciating its curve that guided his direction.

Once he had given Wei Wuxian enough time to adjust, Lan Wangji removed his fingers. In that same motion, he released his own from his trousers, the tip of his manhood finding its own way to the tight cavity, pushing itself in hungrily, waiting for Wei Wuxian's muscles to swallow it all up.

@Lan Wangji Before Wei Wuxian could figure out his next course of action in seducing Lan Wangji, his hands were being lifted above his head, bound by Lan Wangji's rather sacred forehead ribbon. Wei Wuxian didn't even have the chance to struggle, Lan Wangji's weight still pinning him down. He closed his eyes to the bite on his shoulder, his exhale rough.

"No," Wei Wuxian mumbled when Lan Wangji managed to force his legs apart, though he tried his hardest to press them together. "No, don't..." His heart raced and pounded furiously in his chest, adrenaline pumping through his veins and fueling his excitement for Lan Wangji to just /take/ him. Without much effort, Wei Wuxian kicked his leg into Lan Wangji's side, swallowing hard as he halfheartedly fought Lan Wangji off by wriggling violently.

A squeal involuntarily slipped past his lips when he felt two slim fingers prod against his swollen entrance, pushing past the ring of tight muscles. "Lan Zhan!" Wei Wuxian burst out, his back arching off the bed and into Lan Wangji's chest, forgetting his young lady facade for a moment. With the help of the thick, viscous oil, it was less painful than it was a surprise, but Wei Wuxian figured he should be accustomed to Lan Wangji's straightforward approach to bedding him by now. Wei Wuxian felt himself tighten involuntary around Lan Wangji's fingers, a low moan building at the base of his throat. "Lan Zhan," he gasped softly, his hands clenching and unfurling above his head. "

"Naughty," Wei Wuxian heard Lan Wangji husk in his ear. The latter's smooth baritone voice sent tingles down Wei Wuxian's spine, and he shook his head vehemently in protest. "I'm not," he protested with a whining undertone whilst he tried to wrench his hands from Lan Wangji's grip to no avail. A shiver ran through him, and his body lurched around Lan Wangji's fingers. "I'm good, so be kind to me," he rasped, a slight sheen of sweat already beading over his heated skin.

@Wei Wuxian Lan Wangji felt another push on his chest this time, the smaller male underneath him adding extra actions to portray this helpless maiden character that he had somehow come up with. Obviously, the little moans of pleasure Lan Wangji managed to elicit from the smaller's lips was more than enough evidence that Wei Wuxian was ready and wanting more, a natural actor always had to carry through to the finish with their character, it seemed.

Deciding to help the smaller male out, Lan Wangji caught the hand that had been pushing at his chest, "Not fast." he replied, then pulled his forehead ribbon off. Wei Wuxian could still be Lan Wangji's innocent little maiden, but his hands wouldn't be allowed to get in the way any longer. Collecting the smaller's wrists together in one hand, Lan Wangji skillfully wrapped the blue ribbon around them, eventually knotting it at the end. He pressed Wei Wuxian's hands above his head, locking them there in position for a brief moment as he left a rather possessive bite on the other's shoulder.

Now that Wei Wuxian's hands were out of Lan Wangji's way, the bigger took the bottle of oil, pouring a generous amount onto his fingers as he spread Wei Wuxian's slender legs, pushing them to the side and positioning himself in between such that the smaller wouldn't be able to close them easily. Now very experienced with the location he was looking for, Lan Wangji didn't even look as he reached two fingers between, finding the small puckered entrance and dragging his oiled fingers against it, massaging the tight ring of muscles gently before pressing a finger in.

Lan Wangji's movements, though domineering, were not rough. He was patient in stretching the smaller male with his fingers before moving on. "Naughty." he scolded the smaller male in his husky voice, biting at Wei Wuxian's lip when the smaller male tried to again.

@Lan Wangji When Wei Wuxian's robes were ripped open again, the chill that overcame him was immediately quelled by Lan Wangji's warm presence pressing into him. Wei Wuxian welcomed the younger Lan gladly, drawing him close in an embrace. If Wei Wuxian glanced downward, he could get a glimpse of Lan Wangji's arousal making its presence known, tenting in his pants. Shamelessly, Wei Wuxian shoved his thigh harder against Lan Wangji's , rubbing it in a painstakingly slow fashion.

The way Lan Wangji's lips pulled up at the corners did so many things to Wei Wuxian's heart. It contracted and tightened in his chest, and he struggled to breath for a moment staring at Lan Wangji's sinfully beautiful smirk. His gaze trailed up to meet Lan Wangji's hungry stare, and his breath hitched as he forced himself to look away. Lan Wangji's sudden attack on his neck brought back the now very familiar ling pressure Wei Wuxian grew to love.

Allowing himself to drop his act for just a moment, Wei Wuxian tiled his head back and bared his neck for the other, soft mewls of pleasure escaping him. The way Lan Wangji's mouth worked its magic so wonderfully on the most sensitive parts of him had him shaking beneath the older. Wei Wuxian's hands trembled as they framed Lan Wangji's face, bringing him closer, then running them through Lan Wangji's long, silky hair, ruining his carefully combed up-do.

When Lan Wangji drew back slightly, reaching for something at the head of the bed, Wei Wuxian came quickly to his senses, remembering he had a role to play. His own arousal was painfully tight and erect now, but he shoved it out of his mind. Still, his breaths came in short pants, shaky on his exhale from how intense Lan Wangji could turn their little sessions. He pushed at Lan Wangji's bare chest, a little harder this time. "Lan Er Gonzi," he murmured, his eyes fluttering open and close, chest heaving. "Don't you think you are going a little too fast?

@Wei Wuxian Lan Wangji wasn't particularly pleased when his hands were pushed away halfway through their motion, and he had only come to realize that was another continuation of Wei Wuxian's little act. The smaller male had stopped him in his tracks, collecting his robes together as if he was hiding something Lan Wangji had never laid his eyes on before. The bigger male let out a puff of air, probably sounding somewhat like an exaggerated sigh, as the gaze in his eyes took in Wei Wuxian's figure rather hungrily.

"How could you— slow down, please... it's my first time, and you are being so straightforward... I am a delicate man and I cannot..."

That innocence, crafted as it was, still ignited the fire inside of Lan Wangji as the other intended for it to. He could also feel Wei Wuxian's knee brushing against his pelvis, trailing lower and resting against the growing bulge. When Wei Wuxian kissed him timidly, their lips just pressed against each other without going any further, it was all testing Lan Wangji's patience. Lan Wangji took a few deep breaths, in an attempt to keep his voice steady, leaning in to nip at Wei Wuxian's earlobe, responding, "Forgive me for being straightforward." and with a single movement, spread out the robes that Wei Wuxian had been collecting against himself again, revealing the expanse of Wei Wuxian's body that was littered with Lan Wangji's teeth marks.

Lan Wangji took no time in removing his own robes, simply undoing the sash and dropping it somewhere behind him before clambering over Wei Wuxian again. His long hair cascaded over his shoulder, blocking his peripheral vision and easily aiding him in locking his sights on the male underneath. His loose robes also draped down his back, and Lan Wangji's was evident through the thin, silken material of his trousers.

With a single tug of Wei Wuxian's matching black trousers, the other's nether regions were also exposed to the cool air in the room. Once the barriers were out of the way, Lan Wangji couldn't hold back the little smirk that appeared on his face, as he leaned in and started to leave markings on the other's neck again. This would just be the momentary distraction. Lan Wangji had also learned, through multiple nights of experience, that without some lubricating substance, it was quite difficult to penetrate Wu Wuxian without putting the smaller through the immense pain. Thus, he had stored a little bottle of floral oils in the corner of their bed. His long arm reached out while he was massaging the other's skin with his lips, searching for the little bottle whose location was information only for them.

@Lan Wangji Wei Wuxian's breath was easily knocked out of him when Lan Wangji suddenly flipped their positions. "You did this to yourself," Lan Wangji said, and Wei Wuxian tried his best not to chuckle darkly in agreement and destroy the mood he had so carefully cultivated. Indeed, this was exactly what Wei Wuxian was trying to do to himself. Wei Wuxian was happy to kiss Lan Wangji for a while, nibbling on his lips and tasting how sweet he was. It was only when he felt Lan Wangji pulling on his robes he broke away from the other, bringing up his hands to lightly push away Lan Wangji's wandering hands.

"Lan Er Gonzi," Wei Wuxian purred demurely, working hard to gather his loose robes back over his chest, ducking and turning his head away from Lan Wangji to hide his grin. He was far from looking innocent with all the fading love marks littered over his neck and chest, but he was trying his best. "How could you— slow down, please... it's my first time, and you are being so straightforward... I am a delicate man and I cannot..."

Despite his rather reserved and chaste pretense, Wei Wuxian nudged a knee between Lan Wangji's legs, pressing his thigh against the larger man's crotch, wanting to feel Lan Wangji become aroused because of him, Wei Wuxian. Leaning up, he captured Lan Wangji's lips again in a more simple, innocent kiss, massaging their lips together until they were both reddening and swelling.

@Wei Wuxian Lan Wangji could feel the heat rising to his neck and his face already, even at Wei Wuxian's slightest teasing. The younger male's voice was already hinting at something more, this hint Lan Wangji picked up much quicker the second time around. Wei Wuxian was acting coyly, but for once, his actions spoke louder than his words. The way that the smaller male let his fingers dance along Lan Wangji's chest, gently teasing the seams of the clothing until bare skin was exposed, it was all too enticing to not look away from.

"Don't make me say it, Hanguang Jun, I'm shy..." Wei Wuxian coveted, which drew a little chortle from Lan Wangji as he wondered if the male truly believed his own words or not. Still, he didn't oust the other for his little facade, instead playing along.

"En." Lan Wangji grunted from his throat. Half of Wei Wuxian's body was practically lying on him now, the smaller male taking the position on top, using the leverage that he had to apply pressure on Lan Wangji's burning hot skin. He peered downwards, unmoving gaze meeting Wei Wuxian's eyes as the smaller male was staring at him coquettishly, the beauty of Wei Wuxian's features, and coupled with those inviting lips that were turned upwards mischievously, Lan Wangji took the liberty to accept the invitation.

His arms wrapped around Wei Wuxian's hips, flipping their positions so the male was trapped underneath him as usual. "Wei Ying." he breathed out, trying to keep his voice at an appropriate level, "You did this to yourself." he finally reminded the other before leaning in, pressing their lips together while his hands fumbled to remove the new robes that the other had just donned moments ago. Easily, he undid the sash that hugged the robes to Wei Wuxian's waist, pulling the sides of the robe apart aggressively to expose the smaller's body.

@Lan Wangji Ugh. Lan Wangji was so /dense/. Wei Wuxian ducked his head to roll his eyes, but he forgave the other quickly. It was not Lan Zhan's fault he was so clueless, or pretended to be. "Yes, but..." he continued in a soft, low murmur, his hand sliding across the expanse of Lan Wangji's chest and resting over his pectoral muscle. "Keep me /company/," Wei Wuxian stressed, wanting to see if Lan Wangji would understand this time around. "Don't make me say it, Hanguang Jun, I'm shy..."

Wei Wuxian was not sure who he was trying to fool here, himself or Lan Wangji. Anyone who knew Wei Wuxian for at least 5 seconds would figure out he was anything /but/ a shy, blushing maiden. Still, what's the harm in a little pretend for his Lan Zhan? Maybe Wei Wuxian would discover a side of his partner who liked coy young ladies. The thing was, Wei Wuxian suspected Lan Wangji /did/ like MianMian before, who really wasn't that helpless on her own, either.

It was too late to back out now. Wei Wuxian was too deep into his act to drop it, pretend nothing happened, and go to sleep, He tugged at the front of Lan Wangji's robes, pulling at the layers until he revealed a small strip of white, jade-like skin. Hooking his leg tighter around Lan Wangji's waist, Wei Wuxian hoisted himself a little higher so half of his weight pressed Lan Wangji into the bed. Dropping his chin to rest close to his lover's face, Wei Wuxian sighed softly, his breath hitting Lan Wangji's exposed skin. Rather than just jump the older man, Wei Wuxian wanted to edge him into making the first move.

@Wei Wuxian For a brief moment, Lan Wangji thought Wei Wuxian had listened his persuading as the smaller male had turned around and curled up into a fetal position, his face just at an angle that Lan Wangji couldn't see. The older male stayed still, his eyes fixated on Wei Wuxian's unmoving figure, wondering if he was possible overthinking this too much and that the male was joking, having already fallen asleep. However, after a few more moments, Wei Wuxian turned around, attaching himself to Lan Wangji again.

"Wangji," Wei Wuxian called his courtesy name, making Lan Wangji's ears perk up in slight confusion and worry.

"Wei Ying, what's wrong?" he inquired.

"I... I can't sleep...And I know you can... so I'm sorry to bother you... but would Hanguang Jun care to keep this poor and lonely young master company for a while?" Wei Wuxian asked, omitting some words that were probably crucial to Lan Wangji's understanding.

Lan Wangji swallowed hard, his mind already wandering to what the other could mean by that. "Am I not keeping you company now?"

Wei Wuxian was a natural at acting, the way his lips were slightly protruded, his eyes lowered, and that silken voice that captivated and commanded all of Lan Wangji's attention were all pointing evidence. Lan Wangji could already feel his resolve weakening. He had tried his best to not start anything on Wei Wuxian tonight, and maybe Wei Wuxian was just naively unaware of that, but he was masterfully testing Lan Wangji's limits again.

@Lan Wangji "Don't fool around."

Wei Wuxian could see Lan Wangji was a hard man to persuade. Judging by the way Lan Wangji had not moved at all, the younger man realized he needed to employ more... severe strategies to get up him and moving. It was weird, since Lan Wangji was the first to leading them into something more intimate, usually. Wei Wuxian did not want Lan Wangji to start thinking he was a delicate flower of any sort.

Leering, Wei Wuxian turned so his back faced Lan Wangji, hard at work at devising a new plan, his mind hard at work. It was hard to figure out what Lan Wangji /really/ liked, since he rarely vocalized anything, but Wei Wuxian was sure he had a pretty good idea. When he was ready, he pulled on the most pitiful expression he could manage before turning again in Lan Wangji's arm pressing his front against Lan Wangji's side.

"Wangji," he whispered, his expression rather forlorn and mournful, as if he had a rather burdensome issue. "I... I can't sleep," he said in his best piteous maiden voice. "And I know you can... so I'm sorry to bother you... but would Hanguang Jun care to keep this poor and lonely young master company for a while?"

@Wei Wuxian They had laid in that position for a while, Lan Wangji taking even breaths as he adjusted to this new position. He wasn't sleeping yet, but meditating while he held the other close. However, when Wei Wuxian suddenly called his name, Lan Wangji opened his eyes, answering, "En." He thought that Wei Wuxian would have fallen asleep rather easily, but Lan Wangji at first wondered if this position was too restrictive for the free spirited male, who needed to have the space to toss and turn at will, even in his sleep. He hesitated, wondering if he should remove his arms, but then realizing it wasn't easy since Wei Wuxian was lying directly on his shoulder. Lan Wangji's glanced downwards, trying to get a good read of the other's face. He was still calm, though not having the slightest inkling of what Wei Wuxian might be up to.

"Wei Ying, you should re-" he started, but the other obviously did not have that in mind.

"Psst. Lan Zhan. It's too early. You know I usually don't sleep until the night is half over. And it's not even time for you to rest yet. Hehe. You know what we should do?"

Lan Wangji drew in a sharp breath when he felt Wei Wuxian's knee nudging against his lower body again, the other throwing a slender leg over Lan Wangji's. Judging from the alluring look on Wei Wuxian's face right now, Lan Wangji wasn't sure if he had been reading the other's dejected emotions correctly earlier. Or could it have been that his excitement to go back to Yunmeng had brought back the playfulness within him?

"Don't fool around." Lan Wangji gently persuaded, but figuring that Wei Wuxian was just going to do what he wanted to do. It wasn't as though Lan Wangji wasn't willing to oblige to the smaller's needs, but he was also the one who complained about the bigger male never giving him a break at night. It was somewhat amusing to Lan Wangji, that Wei Wuxian seemed to enjoy being coerced by him at night, despite all his protests in the morning. Could it be he was trying to rile Lan Wangji up again now?

@Lan Wangji “He’s not alone,” Lan Wangji said, and Wei Wuxian considered this seriously, quieting down for a moment. But all Wei Wuxian got was that he felt empty without his shidi by his side, even though he had Wangji, had Wen Ning, and Ah Yuan. In the deepest recess of his heart, he wished that Jiang Cheng also felt the same. Wei Wuxian did not respond, only nodding glumly, barely convinced.

"When the study is over, I will bring you back to Yunmeng."

Wei Wuxian's heart beat picked up rapidly, thumping against the wall of his chest. "Really?" He drew back a little to look up at Lan Wangji, his eyes shining with unspoken emotions. "I would love that," he said when he got over his initial shock, a smile finally tugging up the corners of his lips. "If Jiang Cheng would let us, I mean. You know how he gets. Jin Ling's so much like him. Picked up all the bad habits."

Glad that Lan Wangji decided to retire them to bed a little earlier that night, Wei Wuxian clung to the older as he was carried over to the bed. Now that he had the other to take his shoes off for him instead of unceremoniously kicking them off at the foot of his bed. Wei Wuxian curled up into a fetal position on his side immediately, watching Lan Wangji prepare for bed, too. Tomorrow would be the beginning of a long three months, and they both needed their rest. Closing his eyes without waiting for Lan Wangji to get into bed, he opened them again when he felt Lan Wangji slide arms under his body and pull him close.

Lan Wangji never slept in any other position other than the one dictated by the rules of GusuLan: on his back with his hands folded over his stomach. Wei Wuxian gawked for a moment, his body half risen from the bed in shock. Slowly, he lowered himself so he could snuggle up against Lan Wangji properly, using the latter's shoulder joint as a head rest. All of a sudden, Wei Wuxian was not tired at all. He lay there with his eyes wide open, not at all discreet with the way he stared up at Lan Wangji's face.

"Lan Zhan," he said, breaking the silence. "Psst. Lan Zhan. It's too early. You know I usually don't sleep until the night is half over. And it's not even time for you to rest yet. Hehe. You know what we should do?" He nudged Lan Wangji with his knee before throwing his leg over Lan Wangji's. "Huh? Can you guess?"

@Wei Wuxian Lan Wangji was rather content when Wei Wuxian came into the Silent Chamber, complacently placing his cold body in the older's lap. Lan Wangji wrapped an arm around Wei Wuxian's slender waist, the other hand holding onto a folded scroll. He was just skimming the content, having been pretty familiar with it to begin with - as these were the new and revised Gusu rules that Lan Wangji himself had been in charge of revising. Suddenly, he felt Wei Wuxian pressing against him, the smaller's warm breath along his neck.

"What can I do so Jiang Cheng will forgive me? Or at least... act like he forgives me?" Wei Wuxian moaned out, obviously disheartened by the encounter today.

Lan Wangji's hand around the smaller's waist had tightened substantially, brows creasing downwards as he replied, "Why do you ask this?" In his eyes, Wei Wuxian did not do anything wrong. He had given up his golden core to the sect leader without ever letting anyone else know about it. Maybe there was some hidden vendetta between the two of them, and Lan Wangji knew their relationship ran deeper than what he could see at surface level.

"Will he just hate me more if I keep trying? Because, you know... I can't bear the thought of Jiang Cheng being alone."

"He won't." Lan Wangji answered for Jiang Cheng. Even if he didn't get along with the Jiang Sect leader, the months they had spent looking for Wei Wuxian in the past demonstrated that even though the male was feisty, he had genuine feelings. Lan Wangji didn't like to see Wei Wuxian saddened, and he leaned down again, pressing his lips right along the soft spot under the smaller's jawbone and above his neck, "He's not alone." he said, /"And I can't bear the thought of you being sad."/

"Wei Ying." he tried to comfort the smaller male, "When the study is over, I will bring you back to Yunmeng." he said, trying to give the smaller something to look forward to. "It's almost time to rest." he gently urged the other, "Tonight, let's rest early." he said, picking Wei Wuxian up as he stood up, then bringing the smaller male over to the bed. Wei Wuxian was obviously not in the mood for anything, so Lan Wangji carefully placed him down, removing his shoes, then bringing the blanket over to cover him. Then he also got into bed after removing his own shoes. Normally, he'd have Wei Wuxian wear lighter robes to sleep, but since the male had just changed into his new robes, he didn't want to ask. Instead, Lan Wangji just wrapped an arm around Wei Wuxian's waist again, tucking him close to help him sleep.

@Lan Wangji Jiang Cheng was still as aggressive as ever. Wei Wuxian stifled a chuckle, crossing his arms in the chilly air. He'd best get the disciples in before it got too cold, or the ward resealed itself. He tried not to wilt visibly when Jiang Cheng declined his invitation, waving his shidi away as casually as he could.

"Bye, Jiang Cheng," Wei Wuxian said, almost forlornly, watching the deep purples of Jiang Cheng's robes blend in with the shadows as he walked back down the path he came. When it was clear he was going to receive no answer, he waved for Jin Ling and the other disciple to follow. He had no place in Cloud Recesses to be leading them around like this (surely, Lan Qiren would have some stern words for them already) but Wei Wuxian was sure they were as tired as he was. He led them to the guest suite, gesturing for them to go in and figure it out for themselves. "Bright and early tomorrow," he said with a weak smile. "Don't forget your offerings for Old Man Qiren."

With that, Wei Wuxian trudged the path back up to the Silent Chamber, trying to rid himself of his sullen mood before he got back. All of a sudden, he wished Lan Wangji did not leave him alone so he wouldn't have to go this far back to him. Despite his want to return to Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian took his sweet time strolling up the path until the tip of his nose and ears were blown cold by the wind. He curled his hands into fists, trying to warm up the tips of his fingers to no avail. At least, he thought as he approached the Silent Chamber, that helped clear his mind a little.

Despite seeing Lan Wangji so concentrated in his scrolls and work, Wei Wuxian could not help but force himself between Lan Wangji and his table, making a spot for himself on the other's lap. He was disappointed Jiang Cheng had not come at first, and he was unhappy. Now Jiang Cheng had come, and he was still unhappy. With a defeated sigh, Wei Wuxian rested his face against Lan Wangji's shoulder, his display of sullenness quite obvious. "Lan Zhan," he groaned, snuggling pitifully close to the older. "What can I do so Jiang Cheng will forgive me? Or at least... act like he forgives me?"

With a defeated sigh, Wei Wuxian closed his eyes, breathing in Lan Wangji's sweet scent. The smell of sandalwood always comforted him, but now Wei Wuxian could barely be soothed. "Do you think what I did was unforgivable?" Wei Wuxian asked vaguely, opening his eyes again to play with he hem of Lan Wangji's sleeve. "Will he just hate me more if I keep trying? Because, you know... I can't bear the thought of Jiang Cheng being alone."

@Wei Wuxian Just like Jin Ling had said at the Guanyin Temple, Jiang Cheng very obviously looked like he had something to say to Wei Wuxian. However, his short temper always seemed to get the best of him, but in the end, he had decided he wouldn't be staying. Besides, even if he did stay, what opportunity would there be to talk to Wei Wuxian without making it seem like he was trying to ask the older for forgiveness and recognition? Jiang Wanyin's pride prevented him from doing many things.

However before leaving, he didn't forget to scold Jin Ling once more, as he wouldn't be seeing the teen for the next three months. "You best behave. Learn your stuff so you don't go causing such big trouble when you go night-hunting."

"Uncle, I know!"

"Still so stubborn! Believe me when I say I'll break-"

"My legs my legs. I know Uncle!" Jin Ling finished the sentence then standing by Wei Wuxian, looking like he was ready to go in.

Jiang Cheng took a step back, turning on his heel as he took a few steps away. Considering that Wei Wuxian was here, he didn't feel as nervous as he initially thought he would. Afterall, it was because Wei Wuxian was here that Jiang Cheng had reluctantly agreed to let Jin Ling come. The youngster had persistently brought it up to him when the invitations were sent out and Jiang Cheng had been debating on if he should register his disciples.

He didn't know why Jin Ling wanted to come in the first place, but he later had a clue. It had something to do with the Lan disciples that he had probably become acquainted with during their excursions with Wei Wuxian. In the end, he had relented. Now, he was heading on the route back to Yunmeng alone.

Jiang Cheng gripped his fist as he was lost in self thought. Why did it have to be Lan Wangji who came out to remove the barrier? He had initially thought it would be Lan Xichen who would come out. At least it wouldn't have been so embarrassing or take a deep jab at his pride. His interest had been piqued though. Why did Zewu Jun suddenly decide to go into solitary confinement?

"Why am I even thinking about him?" Jiang Cheng muttered angrily to himself, "Who cares. Go home. Go home."

@Lan Wangji Wei Wuxian knew pleading for Jiang Cheng to be let in was a long shot, so when Lan Wangji took his hand and led him to the gates of Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian was thoroughly surprised and pleased. He hugged Lan Wangji's arm as they walked, making sure his gratitude was properly expressed. Jiang Cheng was still berating Jin Ling by the time they arrived, only stopping when Lan Wangji made his presence known. Jin Ling hurried to brush the dirt of his robes, bowing respectfully, while Jiang Cheng inclined his head at a slight angle, his expression remaining rather hostile while he greeted Lan Wangji.

Funnily enough, Jiang Cheng's scowl only deepened when he saw Wei Wuxian slip out from behind Lan Wangji. Wei Wuxian grinned, laughing nervously. It seemed to be that he had misjudged the current situation between him and his shidi. "Hi, Jiang Cheng!" he chirped in the most informal way, bouncing on the tip of his toes. "Jin Ling! You two made it just in time. Oh- and... Jin Ling's friend." Of course, Jin Ling probably did not even know who the young purple-robed disciple was. Wei Wuxian was not familiar with him, but he was probably Jiang Cheng's disciple for the Annual Study.

"See?" Jin Ling shot at his uncle immediately. "We are not late."

"Idiot!" Jiang Cheng hissed, raising his palm as though he were about to strike Jin Ling. "Can you believe anything Wei Wuxian says?"

Ouch. Wei Wuxian beckoned for Jin Ling to enter. The young boy was cradling something in his arms - his offering for the GusuLan elders. "It's okay, Jin Ling- Jin Ling and friend," he said. "Come in quickly. You are indeed late. The wards are not supposed to open for anyone at this time."

Jiang Cheng snorted, though he stayed to make sure the two young disciples were alright before he left for Lotus Cove again. "Those are big words coming from you, Wei Wuxian. Who was the one who lost our invitations and had us denied from Cloud Recesses! And at that time, you didn't have- have Lan Er wrapped around your fingers to let us in. That would have been a lot more useful back then. Jin Ling could sleep out here for all I care."

"Uncle!"

"Jiang Cheng," Wei Wuxian admonished, though he hid a grin in the black cover of night. "I'm sure Jin Ling and friend are feeling rather regretful now. Would you like to stay the night before heading back?" Wei Wuxian, of course, had no power over whether Jiang Cheng would be allowed, anyway, but he figured if he pleaded extra hard to Lan Wangji, they could find a spare room for him.

Jin Ling stood by Wei Wuxian's side, almost half-sad to see his uncle go. Though they had their differences, his uncle was the only one who ever really wanted the best for him. As young as Jin Ling was, being thrown inside Cloud Recesses, as prestigious as it was, for three months, without knowing a single soul, scared him.

@Wei Wuxian Needless to say, Wei Wuxian looked outstanding no matter what he was wearing. Though Lan Wangji really did like having the smaller dressed in his robes, at times, it would be too revealing when the larger robe would slip down Wei Wuxian's shoulder, revealing bare skin that would be improper for anyone else but Lan Wangji to see. "If you like it, then its good." Lan Wangji hummed softly against the other's lips when Wei Wuxian came and rewarded him. Now that they were not going to be sharing robes anymore, then Wei Wuxian would have the liberties to change according to will. Just as he had laid his hand on Wei Wuxian's hips, feeling the curve now being wrapped by the black cloth, Lan Wangji was stopped in his tracks, and they were interrupted by loud shouting coming from outdoors.

Why was this scene bringing back flashbacks for him? Lan Wangji towards the closed door of their Silent Chamber, listening again as he sighed, Wei Wuxian finally filling him in on why those voices sounded so familiar.

"He's here! Hanguang Jun, please let him in," Wei Wuxian pleaded on behalf of his shidi, "I am sure he means no disrespect by arriving at this hour."

Lan Wangji was very tempted to say that it was against the Gusu Lan sect's rules to allow visitors in past sundown, but seeing the look in the smaller's eyes, he sighed softly, taking Wei Wuxian by the hand and pulling him out of the Silent Chamber. They took a shortcut, eventually arriving at the entrance to the Cloud Recesses. And indeed, Jiang Wanyin and his nephew were out there, the former still raging clearly in the middle of the night, while the younger was reluctant to admit he was at fault.

"Silly child." Jiang Cheng admonished, his lips curled upwards, teeth revealed almost as if he was snarling, "You can wait out here tonight then. I'm not the one who needs to stay here to study. I can go back to Yunmeng, why do I have to be here and stay in the cold with you?"

"Uncle!" Jin Ling protested, "You say that, but you know its not safe to leave me by myself."

"You-!"

Lan Wangji shook his head, waving his hand once to remove the barrier portal that prevented them from entering. Once the barrier was removed, he stepped forward. Jiang Wanyin, who had realized the commotion he had caused with his nephew, greeting him through gritted teeth, "Lan-er Gongzi." he said, to which Lan Wangji lowly answered, "Sect leader Jiang."

Sensing the tension, Jin Ling hurriedly stood up from his crouched position, bowing in greeting to Hanguang Jun as well. It appeared that Wei Wuxian, who was now donned in the black robes, was not obviously seen if he didn't make any noise. Stepping aside so the uncle-nephew duo would be able to see Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji continued, "It was Wei Ying. Who recognized you." he said, then turning around without waiting for Wei Wuxian. He left the other to talk to the two as he wanted to. Lan Wangji headed back to the SIlent Chamber to wait for them. He figured Wei Wuxian needed some time to talk things through with his Shidi, and now, after knowing the truth, Lan Wangji knew Jiang Wanyin would not do anything physical to Wei Wuxian.

In the room, he began looking over the scrolls for his first lecture tomorrow. However, no matter how hard he tried, Lan Wangji still couldn't keep himself from glancing at the doors every few moments, waiting for Wei Wuxian to return.
