*Lanling*

"Clan Leader Cheng, do you know Wei Wuxian's whereabouts?" Meng Yao asks Jiang Cheng giving him his full attention.

"Clan leader, you just asked to search Cloud reassess but you said nothing about searching Lotus Cove, may I know why that is?" Jiang Cheng asks with an attitude.

"It is obvious isn't it, Lan Wangji will want to take Yiling patriarch there to recuperate. Cloud reassess has the best healing music of all the four major clans." Meng Yao asks plastering a fake smile on his face.

Jiang Cheng says in his usual irritated tone, "I think you should send your people to Yunmeng instead. Wei Wuxian thinks of Lotus Cove as his home. He will most likely come there. Lan Wangji is by his side. So you must send somemore people to Lotus Cove as well."

Lan XiChen tries to interrupt their conversation. He starts to say in a soothing voice , "Jiang Cheng, Wangji will... "

Jiang Cheng stops him by putting his hand up. He looks Lan XiChen in the eyes and scoffs, and says,  "Pardon me Clan Leader Lan, but I don't think I need your inputs on this matter. Also I don't think you have any right to interfere. I am not asking for any help or advice from your sect. "

Lan XiChen's face falls. Jiang Cheng notices and adds, "Sorry." as an afterthought.
Afterall it's not the older Lan's fault that his younger brother stole Wei Wuxian from him.

Lan XiChen gives a courteous smile.

"Clan leader Cheng, if I may ask.. How do you feel about Yiling Patriarch?" Meng Yao asks matter-of-factly.

"Have I not made myself clear on how how I feel about that jerk?" Jiang Cheng asks rhetorically, his temper rising.

"So you are aware that we all know how much you hate him. And I am sure he knows as well. So Clan Leader it will be a waste of resources to send people to Yunmeng or Lotus Cove. We don't have enough people as it is. Yiling Patriarch is dangerous and holds a grudge. He was stabbed by Jin Ling. There is a good chance he may attack Lanling. Sending my people to Qinghe Nie sect would be more productive since Nie Huaisang and the Yiling patriarch were friends once. There is no way he will even think of stepping foot in your area. Even he knows how much you hate his guts. You torture people who even remotely display similar tricks as him. Yiling patriarch is many things... But he is not stupid. " Meng Yao says with an air of superiority.

Jiang Cheng sighs and says giving up, "So I take it you are not will to send your men to Yunmeng?"

Before Meng Yao answers Lan XiChen says in a gentle soothing voice, "Jiang Cheng , if you think you need more people patrolling Yunmeng, I can send... "

Jiang Cheng raises his hand once again to stop the older Lan and says in a bitter tone, "Yunmeng will not accept any help from Lan Clan....for personal reasons. So Clan leader Lan... please don't offer your help."

With this Jiang Cheng gets up. He bows to the two Zuns.

He addresses Meng Yao in formal tone, "I hope Clan Leader Yao will allow me to stay here a few more days. Jin Ling has suffered an emotional blow. I would like to keep him company.."
Meng Yao answers him with a nod and Jiang Cheng leaves.

Once he walks out of the room, he stops and looks at Sando in his hand. He smiles and walks away.

*Lotus Cove*
*Wei Ying's room*

"Wei Ying.... Behave!"

Thinking that Lan Zhan is trying to get out of the tub Wei Ying hugs him from behind.
Shivers run through Lan Zhan's body.
He feels like places where his body is directly in contact with Wei Ying's ,is buzzing with energy.

Wei Ying plasters himself to Lan Zhan's back.
"Lan Zhan, don't leave." Wei Ying says as his hands start caressing his friend's chest.

"Wei Ying!." Lan Zhan tries to say authoritatively ...but it comes out as a moan instead.
'Lan Zhan... control yourself... Think of your brother... Think of your uncle... Think of Jiang Cheng.' his mind offers suggestions.

Misundersting the way Lan Zhan calls Wei Ying's name, Wei Wuxian gets encouraged and puts his lips on Lan Zhan's upper back and starts kissing.

The first few kisses are innocent but then his hands move to Lan Zhan's chest... Over the Wen brand mark and his lips travel to just behind Lan Zhan's ears....he whispers, "Hanguang Jun... I know this... " he covers the Wen mark with his palm and puts his other hand on Lan Zhan's back slowly moving it over his entire back, he adds, " and all of this.... I was the reason for it."

Lan Zhan sighs heavily... His breath is shaky and he starts to say,  "Wei Ying... that's... it's not... "

"Lan Zhan don't deny it. It's all because of me.... Hanguang Jun... " Wei Ying continues to whisper in his friend's ears, "...let me make it up to you. " Wei Ying ends his sentence and takes Lan Zhan's ear lobe into his mouth and gently sucks on it.

Lan Zhan's control breaks. The edge of the tub he had been holding on to for some time now comes apart under his arm strength.

The water from the tub spills out on the floor. The sudden occurance takes Wei Ying by surprise and he let's go of Lan Zhan.

"Lan Zhan! What did you do?" Wei Ying scolds.

Lan Zhan doesn't say anything. He walk out of the broken vessel and covers himself with a robe.

Wei Ying sees what his friend is doing and says in a dissapointed tone, " No.. Lan Zhan. Why are you getting dressed ? We are not done yet.." he walks out of the tub and goes towards Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan turns with another robe in his hands and covers Wei Ying with it.

"We are done." He says authoritatively.

Wei Ying knows this tone. He doesn't argue back.
"Get dressed." Lan Zhan tells him in the same authoritative tone as earlier and takes his formal clothes and goes to the changing area.

Wei Ying doesn't understand what just happened...?
And he tries to follow Lan Zhan calling his name, "Lan Zhan, what happ..."

Lan Zhan stops and gestures Wei Ying to stop. Wei Ying stops in his tracks.

"Wei Ying, change and go to the yard. Talk to Aunty Yenay. I am sure she wants to talk to you alone." Lan Zhan says trying to keep his tone steady.

"But Lan Zhan... " Wei Ying tries to ask  why he can't come along.

"Just go... Please." Lan Zhan begs.

Wei Ying's face falls. He simply agrees then and says, "OK."
'Did I do something wrong? Why does Lan Zhan sound angry?' Wei Ying thinks to himself as he goes to get changed in the other part of his room.

Once Lan Zhan takes shelter behind the changing partition he puts a silencing charm around it and waits.

His mind keeps on repeating the last few sentences Wei Ying had said to him before he had lost control, 'Hanguang Jun... I know this... and all of this.... I was the reason for it.'
'Hanguang Jun...let me make it up to you.'

{A/N}
Unaware, Hanguang Jun's hands travel to his underpants. His hand hovers over it... 'What am I doing.... This is wrong... ' his mind screams.

His thoughts are interrupted when Wei Ying's voices drifts to him, "Lan Zhan, I am leaving first. Come find me in the yard."

Lan Zhan hears the door open and close.

"Wei Ying.. " he says and let's out a low moan.
He puts his hand between his legs and starts stroking his hard shaft.
Guilt grips his heart, but his want is greater, 'I want you Wei Ying'.

Tears make their way down his face.'This is wrong... So wrong... I need to stop... I... I... Can't.... Wei Ying.... Wei Ying... Wei Ying... '

He doesn't understand how Wei Ying's such a small gesture, could have such effect on him. He feels unnerved.

"Wei Ying...... ", he moans ....again and again. His hands start moving faster.

He imagines Wei Ying's hands on his chest... he imagines Wei Ying's hands on his back...kissing him...
He remembers how it felt when Wei Ying took his ear lobe in his mouth.. Soft and warm...and moist.. He imagines Wei Ying's beautiful bow shaped full lips...
Hanguang Jun moans again ...
He imagines how Wei Ying's  fingers.. same fingers, that so skillfully moves over the Chenqing... will feel wrapped around him....holding him... Stroking him..again and again.. faster and faster ..."Wei ya.... Ah.. " Lan Zhan moans loudly one last time and comes.. his voice deep and rough.

"I love you... " he adds... as one last tear makes it's way down his cheek.

{Note :- I don't know why I was in tears when I wrote this... I love Lan Zhan...it would be more appropriate to say I love how Wang YiBo portrayed Lan Zhan.

I don't know how you guys are gonna like this chapter. I am not good at writing stuff like this.

Also I have been staring at the above gif for longer than appropriate... It's not healthy.

Please let me know if it was OK.
