8 CHAPTER 8

Two days later...

The disciples woke up to an unpleasant surprise. "Hanguanjun is kneeling in front of the Stone... The one with the sect rules engraved on it." A junior spread the news stealthy. 'No shouting and no running in the Cloud Recesses...' Was still followed. Everyone else gathered there trying to persuade their mentor to get up.

Lan Wangji only stayed still as he meditated on the rules. Wei Ying's words from two nights before kept distracting him from time to time...

Wei Ying, "Lan Wangji, Lang Wangji...You broke a promise... Aside that you clearly forced your brother into getting a wife because of me. How selfish of you, Hanguanjun."

Lan Zhan, "...Sorry."

Wei Ying, " Don't apologize to me, tell that to your brother... You're worse than your Uncle!"

Lan Wangji's head was down. He did not regret his actions though. Wei Ying pushed his buttons. Lan Wangji was already kneeling, asking for forgiveness and Wei Ying took advantage of it to school the person who once did not forgive him for breaking rules.

Thinking about what happened, Wei Ying shuddered. The thrilling sensation was still lingering in his thoughts and even though he pretended to be upset about it, he was actually proud of his husband. Now was his chance to mess with Wangji.

Wei Ying, " You're not allowed to touch me for seven days!"

Wangji looked up, the words shook him out of his normal visage and a bewildered look appeared on his face.

"What?" Wei Ying said, fighting back the urge to laugh at his own silly words. But maybe, just maybe if he was able to control himself and play along with this 'punishment' for a while, Wangji might loose control and force him again. Wei Ying shook his head as if the dirty thoughts would fly out if he did.

Lan Zhan, "But...Everyday means..."

Wei Ying cut him short, "Lan Zhan, you broke a promise. I also get to break this one. Besides, its only seven days. You can survive."

Wei Ying gave a taunting smirk. Lan Wangji flinched.

Wei Ying pulled his cheeks and then got up. "I have to see Wen Ning." He said.

Lan Wangji thought Wei Ying was just being, well, 'Wei Ying' and did not mean what he said but that resolve quickly changed the following night. Lan Wangji had drawn closer to his husband. His hands played around Wei Ying's chest and his lips drew closer to the other's ears. Wei Ying lay sideways- his face at the other side and his well rounded behinds in Lan Wangji's view. Wei Ying jumped into bed earlier and pretended to be asleep. Operation, 'dark Hanguanjun' had commenced. As Wangji's breath played around the nape of his neck, Wei Ying supressed a moan. He was getting aroused. I cant let him win easily, he thought.

Wei Ying,"Han-guan-jun...What do you think you're doing?" He asked with a serious tone.

Lan Wangji's hand froze. He had been called out just when he was about to squeeze Wei Ying's butt cheeks.

Lan Zhan, "Wei Ying." He called sweetly.

'Yes, finally, do what you did again Hanguanjun. Get crazy...' The thoughts running through Wei Ying's mind came to an abrupt halt when Lan Zhan pulled back and lay down on his side of the bed.

Lan Zhan, "What can I do to make you forgive me?"

What! Wei Ying could not hide his frustration. Here he was, thinking Lan Wangji would not hold back. This idiot! Was he not the one that stole a kiss and did stuff to me the other day! All the frustration and disappointment piled up in his throat. He could not say, Hanguanjun, take me like you did the other day or that I don't mind anymore that you spanked and scared the hell out of me. He wanted his husband to figure that out.

Wei Ying sighed, "Hmph! Why don't you ask your Lan sect rules to help you find a befitting punishment. You also broke them that day, dear. Now, sleep!"

As Lan Wangji thought about what had happened, Lan Sizhui appeared. He had looked for his mother so Hanguanjun could be freed of the punishment but Wei Ying was in no position to walk around when he found him at Wen Ning's house. Wei Ying had been working on a spell to help Wen Ning the previous night and had exerted too much energy. He needed to rest for a few hours, but this truth could not be revealed soon so Sizhui kept trying to convince his father to get up. Soon Wangji gave an order for all those who joined him on the ground to retire.

The next day came and Wangji was still on the ground. He refused to let the other disciples join him and asked them to go about their business but some still lingered around. Among them was Lan Jingyi, Lan Sizhui, a disciple named Lan LiMin and another, Lan Yong.

Lan Jingyi, "I told you Hanguanjun would be in trouble, didn't I?"

LiMin, "Wow, Senior Wei really is the Yiling Louzou."

Lan Sizhui, "Hush you two, look who's coming."

The boys quit talking and walked toward the tall man approaching them and bowed.

Sizhui, "ZewuJun, you're back."

Lan Xichen, "What's going on here?"

Jingyi waited for Sizhui but decided to speak up since everyone remained silent.

Jingyi, "ZewuJun, Hanguanjun has been like this for two days now. We believe it has something to do with.. Mnnn...Mnnn"

Jingyi turned to look at Sizhui and the other looked at him clueless of why he could not speak. They then turned their heads to look at Hanguanjun. Low and behold, Hanguanjun was actually looking in their direction. Jingyi understood and kept quiet.

Lan Xichen sighed and walked towards his younger brother. "Did brother in law punish you?", Xichen asked. Wangji shook his head.

Xichen, "Wangji, we both know Wei Ying would not agree to this. What did you do?"

Lan Wangji hesitated but in the end he could not hide it from his brother. "I...I got jealous and spanked him."

Xichen covered his face with a hand, then he held it into a fist and it rested on his lips. He chuckled. Wangji looked at him a little surprised, yet his face did not show as usual. Brother is laughing? Brother has not laughed ever since...

Convinced only one person could free Wangji, Lan Xichen walked over to Sizhui who was comforting Jingyi and smiled at them. Jingyi felt his lips part and he babbled with words to confirm it. Sizhui smiled at his silliness. As if Jingyi had forgotten what had just happened, he spoke again.

Jingyi, "Sizhui, why don't you call Senior Wei with the talisman he gave you."

Xichen, "A talisman?"

Sizhui, "Yes ZewuJun, we usually used it at night hunts so Senior Wei could find us within 5 seconds."

ZewuJun nodded in approval. Such a talisman would save a lot of lives. Lan Sizhui was not sure if Wei Ying was up yet, but in the face of ZewuJun he did not know how to say that he couldn't. So he made a sign with his hands and a sizzling flame sparked and faded immediately. Truly within 5 seconds Wei Ying appeared before them. At first he rushed to Sizhui and examined the boy, checking to see if he was hurt, " A' Yuan, you called. Are you alright, are you hurt anywhere. Who hurt you? Where's your father?".

Wei Ying,"Wait, We're still at the cloud recesses...Why did you call... ZewuJun?...What..". He looked confused. Wei Ying was awoken by the summon and was still a little withdrawn. For the past few hours he was caught up in a strange dream.

Lan Xichen, "Is brother in law ok?"

Wei Ying nodded with a smile then he paused, the smile faded. "Sizhui, how long have I been away?" He grabbed the boy in fear.

Sizhui, "Two days."

Wei Ying sighed in relieve. Two days was not too long, he could easily get an excuse for Lan Zhan. "Lan Zhan!" He remembered what happened some days ago. "Where is Hanguanjun?"

Lan Xichen gave him a puzzled look. Clearly there is something wrong with brother in law. "He's right behind you, Wei Ying."

Wei Ying took a step back when he saw his husband kneeling and looking dejected with his stoic face.

Wei Ying, "Why, who punished him?"

Lan Xichen sighed and shook his head, "Wangji is there because he broke a promise to you. He has been like this for two days."

"Whaaaat!", Wei Ying's eyes grew wider. He slapped his hand against his forehead and headed towards Wangji.

Wei Ying, "Lan Zhan...What's the meaning of this?"

Lan Wangji, "I'll only get up if you forgive me."

Wei Ying became angry with himself for letting this happen. As if triggered, dark energy surged through him. Xichen and Sizhui saw it clearly and were surprised. But no one had prepared them for Wei Ying's sudden tantrums, he shouted, "Hanguanjun!! Are you trying to piss me off?!"

Everyone present thought Wei Ying would coax Wangji into getting up.

Wei Ying, "You... you have till the count of three to get up. One!...Twooo!..."

Everyone saw Wangji quickly grab Bichen and try to get up but his knee gave in and he fell back down. "Honey!",Wei Ying rushed to his side, worried about his man. ZewuJun was startled when Wangji's knees went down again but he calmed down when Wei Ying seemed to have come back to himself.

Wei Ying, "You piece of wood!... After all these years cant you tell when I'm just messing with you!...Nothing can make me want to punish you, Wangji. You're my peace, my joy, how could I be mad at you so easily. Mnnn? Besides..."

Wei Ying leaned closer to Wangji's ears and whispered, "Why would I be upset when I cant stop thinking about how much pleasure I felt that day. It was one of the best sex we've had, Gege."

Lan Wangji's ears suddenly turned pink and Wei Ying smiled. He planted a kiss on Wangji's cheeks, then on his lips. The students turned their gaze, blushing at the scene of a soft Hanguanjun.

"Come, my love.", Wei Ying pulled him up and carried him on his back. Lan Wangji was taller and heavier than Wei Ying but he did not mind. He enjoyed Wei Ying's attention.

Lan Xichen, "Brother in Law, let me carry him, Wangji is heavy..."

Wangji frowned at his brother, a clear 'No, don't ruin my chance.' sounded in Xichen's mind.

Wei Ying smiled, "Don't worry brother in law, I'll take care of him." Lan Sizhui picked up Bichen and followed behind. As Wei Ying walked passed them with Wangji's arm around his neck and his head resting lazily on his shoulders, the disciples gasped out of shock.

Lan Yong, "Did... Did I just see Hanguanjun smile?"

Jingyi only chuckled, having walked with them since the return of the Yiling Patriarch, Jingyi has seen a lot of surprises when it came to Hanguanjun and this was one of the moments. He'd be sure to remind Sizhui to write it in that journal of his.
