Chapter 95: Longing (Part Six)

Lan WangJi didn’t listen. His eyes remained fixed on Wei WuXian, as if afraid that if he blinked even once, Wei WuXian would run away. Wei WuXian reached up to cover his eyes, then dipped the bottom half of his face into the water, releasing a string of bubbles. Wei WuXian laughed as he gently pinched his cheek, “Er-Gege, how old are you?”

He took soap and a cloth from the side and wiped Lan WangJi’s face from bottom to top. As he did so, his movements suddenly stopped.

At that time, Lan WangJi had removed his own hair tie and forehead ribbon. His hair had been loose and covered his upper body. But now, as he moved Lan WangJi’s wet black hair behind his shoulder and began wiping his chest, the thirty or so disciplinary whip marks and brandings on his chest were clearly visible.

Wei WuXian took the cloth and moved it to his back.

Whip marks spread from Lan WangJi’s back to his chest, shoulders, and arms, spreading across his smooth, white skin. These almost horrific scars, whether dark or light, marred what could have been called a perfect man’s body.

“…” Wei WuXian suddenly fell silent. He dipped a cloth in water and traced the whip scar. 

He was very gentle, as if he didn’t want to hurt Lan WangJi, but this was an old wound. It would never hurt again. And even if it was a new wound, with Lan WangJi’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t show the slightest bit of weakness, even in the most painful moments.

Wei WuXian really wanted to take this opportunity to ask how he had gotten this scar. In the GusuLan Sect, the only people who had the right to punish Lan WangJi like this were Lan XiChen and Lan QiRen. What had he done to his brother, his closest confidant, or his uncle, the one who raised him and made him so proud, to commit such a cruel act? The traces of the QishanWen Sect that he had never seen before, and the question he had always held in the back of his mind, the question he had wanted to ask the most—

HanGuang-Jun, what do you think of me?

But every time he got close, he would find an excuse to obscure everything. For example, maybe he shouldn’t have been so eager and asked after playing with her for a while; for example, he shouldn’t have been so relaxed and asked after they were properly seated; for example, maybe the drunk’s words weren’t to be trusted.

Even though there were many reasons, he knew very well the real reason.

Maybe because he was afraid. He was afraid of hearing a different answer than he expected.

Suddenly, Lan WangJi turned around and glanced at him. Wei WuXian finally realized that as he was rubbing him, his mind had begun to wander, rubbing the white skin on Lan WangJi’s back that was so red it looked like someone had beaten him. Wei WuXian thought Lan WangJi’s gaze might mean he was dissatisfied with his work, so he immediately stopped, “Sorry, sorry. Does it hurt?”

Lan WangJi didn’t say anything, only shaking his hand. Seeing his quiet and obedient appearance, sitting in the bathtub, Wei WuXian felt a great sense of pity. He curled his finger and scratched his chin in a gesture of comfort. His chin alone wasn’t enough. Feeling itchy, he even wanted to poke Lan WangJi’s stomach, but before he could even get halfway, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Lan WangJi, who said softly, “Don’t touch me.”

A few clear drops of water remained on his eyelashes and on his handsome face. His expression was cold, but his eyes burned.

Tonight, Wei WuXian had done many indecent little things to Lan WangJi. He had long been used to Lan WangJi letting him do whatever he wanted. Now, after being stopped so suddenly, he still had the nerve. “Why not? Haven’t you let me touch you for a long time?”

Lan WangJi’s lips were tightly pressed together. He didn’t say anything, whether angry or not. Seeing this, Wei WuXian felt a little guilty. “Fine. I won’t touch you again. Do it yourself.”

As he spoke, he threw the cloth away and began to leave. However, Lan WangJi not only refused, but the hand around his wrist tightened its grip. He commanded, “Don’t go.”

Wei WuXian struggled for a while, unable to break free. He steeled himself, “HanGuang-Jun, you’re the one in the wrong now. You made me wash my face, wouldn’t let me touch you, and wouldn’t let me leave. What do you want from me?”

“…” After a moment of silence, Lan WangJi’s tone sounded almost unreasonable, “In any case, you must not leave.”

Wei WuXian splashed water on Lan WangJi’s face, “Look at you, so domineering and unreasonable!”

Lan WangJi did not flinch or dodge even though the water splashed on his face, “I told you, don’t touch me.”

This felt like a warning. Perhaps because the wine truly had strong side effects, Wei WuXian’s head felt extremely hot. The corners of his mouth curled upwards, “If I touch you, no matter what happens, what can you do to me? Punish me by making me copy scriptures? Punish me? Or silence me?”

Lan WangJi’s gaze was fixed on him. Sparks of fire seemed to flash in his eyes. He looked furious.

Her face, her expression, her eyes, the situation, and the person. Wei WuXian took a breath.

As if he had decided to go all out, he put his other hand into the water, found a certain part of Lan WangJi’s body, and scooped, “HanGuang-Jun, don’t tell me you don’t like it when I touch you like this?”

Wei WuXian’s bold words and actions finally angered his opponent.

Lan Wangji felt as if he had been bitten by a venomous snake, tugging at him tightly. Wei Wuxian felt a terrifying force sweep over him. He couldn’t help but be drawn in.

Water splashed everywhere. Things were getting out of hand. It was all the same, no matter who started it first. When Wei WuXian regained his senses, he was already sitting on Lan WangJi’s lap.

The two of them hugged and kissed in that position for quite a while. Wei WuXian’s arms wrapped around Lan WangJi’s neck as they kissed wildly and inseparably. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “Ah.”

Opening his eyes, he wiped a bit of blood from his lips as he cursed, “Lan Zhan! Why are you biting like a dog again?!”

His lips, previously red from being kissed, now stained with blood, seemed even more vibrant. In his unexpected dissatisfaction, Lan WangJi retaliated with another bite. Wei WuXian frowned, feeling the pain from the constant biting and sucking. He reached out again and rubbed Lan WangJi hard.

Most likely, no one had ever done such a bold and daring act to Lan WangJi before. Once wasn’t enough—Wei WuXian had to do it twice. His face changed instantly. The arm he was hugging tightened, his fingers leaving clear marks. 

Wei WuXian grinned as he caught his breath, “What? Are you angry already? You don’t know this, Lan Zhan, but I like it when you’re angry…”

His tone was filled with fearless joy. After speaking, he kissed the corner of Lan WangJi’s lips and took off his drenched clothes.

Lan WangJi’s skin felt so hot it felt like it was on fire. One hand gripped Wei Wuxian’s waist, and the other slammed against the edge of the wooden tub. The tub shattered into pieces. The room instantly descended into chaos, the scene unbearable.

Neither of them cared about these trivial matters at all. Lan WangJi almost lifted Wei WuXian and threw him onto the bed. Just as Wei WuXian braced himself slightly, he was immediately pinned down again. Lan WangJi’s actions were more than just fierce. He was completely unlike the normal HanGuang-Jun, who was always righteous and prudent. 

Wei WuXian’s back ached from the impact. He yelped a few times, and Lan WangJi paused for a moment. Wei WuXian immediately turned him over and pushed him onto the bed, holding him down with all his might. He said beside his ear, “I didn’t expect you to be this fierce in bed…”

The earlobe near his lips was as white as jade. Wei WuXian couldn’t help but bite it gently. It felt soft and cool. After biting it, he put it in his mouth and sucked gently. Lan WangJi’s fingers gripped Wei WuXian’s shoulders tightly.

The force in his hand was incredibly strong. Wei WuXian immediately flinched from the pressure. He turned to look at his shoulder, which was already covered in five deep red marks. Seeing this, Wei WuXian pushed his thigh between Lan WangJi’s legs and pressed down, pretending to threaten him, “What do you mean by being so mean? Be careful, I…”

Lan WangJi immediately reached for Wei WuXian’s waist to undo his belt. Wei WuXian deliberately wanted to tease him, but he slapped Wei WuXian’s hand away and grinned, “HanGuang-Jun, are you so impatient?”

He didn’t know if it was a hallucination or not, but Lan WangJi’s eyes were bright red, almost glowing red. When he reached out his hand again, Wei WuXian quickly dodged to the side, “It’s not that I won’t let go. I’ll do it myself.”

After saying that, he did indeed untie his belt and take off his underwear. Completely naked, he lay back on top of Lan WangJi.

Both of them were naked, skin touching. Intimately, they kissed, turning their heads. Wei WuXian pressed Lan WangJi’s nape with his left hand, not allowing him to leave even the slightest space between them, biting and rubbing his lips. With his right hand, he traced the graceful yet firm lines of Lan WangJi’s back. When he felt a slightly uneven scar, he gently stroked it with his fingertips. 

Lan WangJi was no less active. His slender, graceful hands roamed Wei WuXian’s body with their distinctive knuckles before lingering on his waist and hips, vigorously rubbing the smooth skin at the tips of Wei WuXian’s thighs. It was as if Wei WuXian had transformed into a zither, plucked and strummed beneath his hands. However, the player displayed none of the coolness and elegance of a seven-stringed zither. What Wei WuXian emitted were not graceful zither notes, but rather uncontrollable moans of pleasure.

However, Lan WangJi’s hands were too strong, and he also liked to pinch his sensitive spots. At first, Wei WuXian could enjoy it, but soon he felt an unbearable throbbing. He gasped, pushing away his sore, swollen lips. His chest heaved, “HanGuang-Jun, w-why are you like this after taking off your clothes? Where are you pinching? You really don’t deserve to be called a real man.”

Feigning disappointment, he pushed Lan WangJi’s completely disrespectful hand away. Lan WangJi growled softly, sounding quite dangerous. Wei WuXian, “Don’t be like this. Come on, I’ll let you pinch me. Pinch here.” As he spoke, he guided Lan WangJi’s hand to his lower part, laughing softly as he murmured, “Pinch however you like. Use your muscles.”

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Wei WuXian felt like he truly possessed a self-taught lewdness as he did these things. However, imagination was one thing, and action was another. He had lived two lifetimes, and no one had ever touched his private parts other than himself. When Lan WangJi’s burning palm completely enveloped him, Wei WuXian couldn’t help but tremble, curling up slightly.

However, it felt too good to be held in Lan WangJi’s fingers and stroked with such rhythm. Soon, Wei WuXian unconsciously stretched his body, his arms wrapping around Lan WangJi’s back and shoulders to offer his manhood to those hands. Lan WangJi’s movements became faster. Wei WuXian breathed shallowly, closing his eyes in pleasure. His fingers wanted to reach for something, but in vain, he could only stroke Lan WangJi’s firm, bare back. Suddenly, he realized that he shouldn’t be the only one feeling this pleasure, and his right hand sought out Lan WangJi’s manhood.

The moment he touched it, Wei WuXian felt the hot, thick object swell a size larger, bouncing against his palm as hard as iron. Even touching it made his cheeks sting. He never thought he would touch this part of a man’s body. It was truly unimaginable. But every time he remembered that it was Lan WangJi he was touching, Wei WuXian would become so aroused that he could barely control his hands. He would reach for it, caressing it recklessly while rubbing it with his slippery feet repeatedly.

Lan WangJi’s breathing suddenly became heavier, while what was in Wei WuXian’s hand also throbbed, growing hotter. Beside their ears, they could smell each other’s unbearable pants and Wei WuXian’s moans. 

No matter how much time passed, Wei WuXian felt all the blood and pleasure in his body rushing to a single point. As his scalp tingled, a moan that was almost broken escaped his throat, “Lan… Lan Zhan, w-wait, I…” Before he could finish his sentence, the dangerous pleasure exploded within him.

Wei WuXian’s voice froze. A white light flashed across his mind. A moment later, still dazed, he saw a few light traces on Lan WangJi’s tense abdominal muscles. He finally realized that he had already let go. Lan WangJi, on the other hand, let go almost simultaneously, releasing a white liquid between Wei WuXian’s legs. As Wei WuXian moved, no matter how slight, the embarrassing liquid slowly slid down, dripping onto his sensitive area. The taste was very obvious. He could tell there was a mess even without looking. The viscosity felt slightly uncomfortable in the cleft of his glutes, but what was more obvious was the incomparable sense of satisfaction. 

Lan WangJi’s head was buried in Wei WuXian’s chest, his warm body on top of Wei WuXian. 

Wei WuXian was completely drained, feeling weak from head to toe. He felt so relaxed that he didn’t even want to move his hands.

Only after a long time did their breathing return to normal.

Despite the immense pressure, his heart was filled with peace and contentment. Wei WuXian kissed Lan WangJi’s hair. The scent of soap, refreshing after a bath, enveloped them both, besides the soft scent of sandalwood. The sensual scent wasn’t too strong.

Wei WuXian had been holding back the things he wanted to ask Lan WangJi for a long time, too afraid to ask. Only now, as the two lay side by side, did he feel a little more confident. He lowered his voice, “Lan Zhan… Are you listening?”

A moment later, Lan WangJi replied with an ‘mn’. Wei WuXian, “I have to tell you something.” He took a deep breath before saying, “Lan Zhan, thank you.”

With thousands of words, there’s nowhere to start.

If he hadn’t met Lan WangJi upon his return, Wei WuXian didn’t know what Lan WangJi would be like right now. Actually, even if he were wandering alone, his situation wouldn’t necessarily be that bad. But whatever happened, he was certain that nothing could be better than this.

Unfortunately, he didn’t realize that after Lan WangJi heard this, his body froze slightly.

The intense heat finally began to subside. Wei WuXian’s head was still spinning as he continued to babble, “In these two lifetimes, you’ve helped me so much. I know you’ve been… very good to me. You’re truly amazing! Besides thank you, I don’t know what else to say to you… Besides, towards you, I feel… I feel…”

But that wasn’t the point. Wei WuXian had never confessed like this to anyone before. Even someone as rude as him felt a little embarrassed. He could only pick out a few random things to say. Just as he was thinking about how to explain himself in a way that sounded sincere and serious, Lan WangJi suddenly pushed him away.

So suddenly, Wei WuXian’s back slammed hard onto the bed.

His eyes widened, so shocked he couldn’t move. Lan WangJi, on the other hand, sat up straight, his chest heaving and his breathing becoming somewhat labored.

In silence, the two stared at each other for a long time. Lan Wangji was the first to move.

Her face was pale, but her eyes were clear. She first picked up a piece of white clothing from the ground to cover Wei WuXian, then went to look for something for herself.

Wei WuXian was still confused. He could hardly believe what was happening.

The push felt like a dream turned nightmare, like a bucket of water pouring down on his head, as if someone had just slapped him hard in the face. Finally, he found the ability to speak again. In a hoarse voice, he tried, “Lan Zhan, are you… awake?”

Lan WangJi had finished dressing. Sitting slightly tilted, he wiped his forehead with his right hand. He turned around, facing the chaos on the ground, his back to Wei WuXian. A few moments later, he finally whispered, “Mn.”

Although Wei WuXian didn’t know when he woke up, Lan WangJi’s reaction made one thing clear: he didn’t want to continue what they were doing. He also didn’t want to hear Wei WuXian finish his sentence.

Wei WuXian finally realized how cruel his actions were.
