After the things that had happened in the cursed temple, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying had continued on their journey to look for more pieces of Yin iron. Along the way, Nie Huaisang and Jiang Cheng had joined them.

They had got a tip about a haunted mansion and gone to investigate, where they had captured the well-known ruthless fugitive, Xue Yang, with help from Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen.

Nie sect was the closest, so the young men had sent a word to arrange for the prisoner to be transferred and held there. 

Everyone except Lan Zhan and Nie Huaisang had taken turns interrogating the perpetually smirking man; in the end, however, it had all been useless, for Xue Yang had not divulged anything of significance.

Lan Zhan had hated the criminal at first sight. No, it was not just because the man exuded a malicious aura, but also because this man was eyeing Wei Ying from head to toe constantly. He even had a given Wei Ying a coquettish look when he was giving him a patdown!

The problem was that Lan Wangji was not the only one who had observed that. Nie Huaisang and Jiang Cheng had noticed it too. After the four young cultivators had left Xue Yang in Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen's care, they had proceeded to go to an inn.

When the four young cultivators had sat down to have their dinner, Lan Wangji, who had been carrying a part of the Yin iron, had felt restless. As the other three had chatted, Lan Wangji had sat there wondering about what the future held. He couldn't help but think that this was probably the last time he would be seeing Wei Ying. For, the Jiang Clan leader had already taken Wei Ying away from cloud recesses.

Of course, Lan Wangji had mastered the art of hiding his emotions, and thus, his face almost showed nothing, well almost. For here was one in their group who had noticed the second Jade behaving unusually grumpy. The person was none other than Wei WuXian, who on the pretext of finding the best wine, had left the group and returned after a few minutes with a jar of the inn's best wine and a mischievous smile.

After finishing their supper, the cultivators had approached the innkeeper and asked for four rooms. 

 "Aigoooo, we don't have four rooms available at the moment. Will two do?" The innkeeper had asked and added, "The rooms are quite big. Two can easily share one room."

Hearing this, both Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang had panicked and blurted out simultaneously, "I will share with Wei Ying!" Then they had looked at the other apologetically.

"Hehe... I never knew both of you love me soooo much!" He had said, irritating Lan Wangji to no end, "Good. The three of you can sleep in one room. I will take the other." He had said expressionlessly. More than anything, the young master Lan had wanted to share the room with Wei Ying, but he could not bring himself to say it. So he did what he always did, he tried to distance himself from the others.

The innkeeper had looked at the four awkwardly and rubbed the back of his neck. "This lowly one is embarrassed. The rooms can not hold more than two individuals." He had then turned to Wei Ying and continued, "I suggest you sort it out... "

"Are there any rooms?" A young couple had entered just then and asked for a room.

Lan Wangji had acted quickly then, "The inn is full. My apologies." He had bowed. The young couple had shaken their head disappointedly before walking out.

Then the second Jade had turned to the innkeeper and demanded, "Show us the rooms." With that, he had walked away. The innkeeper had no choice but to hurry behind him.

 Soon, the men had found themselves in front of the first room.

"I know it's not much... "

Jiang Cheng had not let the man finish, "This has a double bed!"

"It's plenty big, though, isn't it?"

"Are you fucking kidding me right now!? What do you take us for!?" The angry lotus had growled, making the innkeeper cower in fear.

"What about the other one?" Wei Ying had asked, trying to diffuse the situation. The innkeeper had instantly brightened up, "That one has two singles!" He had replied proudly.

"Show us." Wei Ying had demanded. The second room had turned out to be similar except for the beds. "You may go now. Your customers must be waiting." Wei Ying had added and looked at Lan Wangji, "Lan Zhan, I know you don't like to sleep with others, but there are two beds here... The other bed is too small... "

"I am not sleeping with a man!" Jiang Cheng had spoken irritatedly; Wei Ying had chuckled, "You can sleep with me." He had offered; it had not sat well with the light bearer.

"I will not share my bed with him." Lan Wangji had bitten out, looking at Nie Huaisang. The poor man had felt unwanted at the time but had just smiled, "I am afraid I too can't agree to that."

Lan Wangji had breathed a sigh of relief at the admission, "I will share with Wei Ying." Lan Wangji had offered unexpectedly, making everyone stop at look at him.

Jiang Cheng had felt jealous at that. 'Why the fuck did Wangji pick him!?' He had wondered, and to make Wangji change his mind, he had tried to egg him on, "With due respect, if you have chosen a partner of your choice, I would like to choose a room. You can partner with him if you are willing to take the double bed." Jiang Cheng had been sure that the younger Jade would refuse.

Wangji had felt very happy all of a sudden. After all, he had wanted the same thing since the innkeeper had revealed the rooms. But Lan Wangji could not show how he felt. He had frowned and pretended to give it much thought, and then, pretending to look put upon, he had muttered an "Mn." and entered the room with queen-sized in it.

Jiang Cheng was stunned. But it was the young master Wei who was more impacted, for he had not understood how Lan Wangji had agreed to sleep with him.

Everyone knew that Wei Ying did not have a filter, and he had proved it almost as soon as the young men had settled in their respective rooms.

"Lan Zhan, why did you pick me?" He had asked. "You even agreed to share the bed with me."

"To keep an eye on you." Lan Wangji has said. After all, the younger Jade had wanted Wei Ying to be next to him ever since he had laid eyes on him at the gates of Cloud recesses.

"Aigoooo, you have such a low opinion of me." Wei Ying had sighed dramatically, "And here I thought that you like me. That I had grown on you."

The words 'Like me' and 'grown on you' had stirred Lan Wangji's desires. His heart had started to pound. But the young man had been irked as well, for he thought he had been through in pretending how disinterested in Wei Ying he was.

He had looked at the younger with anger in his eyes, "Sorry... Sorry, Lan Zhan. I will not presume any more." He had said sincerely and started disrobing!

"What are you doing!?" Wangji had asked, averting his gaze.

"Preparing for a bath, obviously."

"Mn?"

"When I had gone to fetch the wine, I heard the innkeeper mention a spring. It's just behind the inn." Wei Ying had smiled, "We have been through much. I know how much you dislike dirty things, tainted things. I merely want to please you." He had said, winking.

All of it had gotten too much for the younger Jade. He had known that if he were to continue standing next to the boisterous young man, he wouldn't be able to control himself. So the had huffed, "I will go first." He had stated, thinking that the spring could help him calm down.

He had been wrong.

"Aigoooo, Lan Zhan, we are both men. We can bathe together."

"No. Don't want." Lan Zhan had stated matter-of-factly and left the room.

Wei Ying had chuckled, "Suit yourself!" He had yelled at the closing door.

The spring had turned out to be a hot one. Lan Wangji, having lead a closed life, had never slept at an inn leave alone seeing a hot spring.

"Is it crowded?" He had asked the employee stationed outside. The man had shaken his head, "It's pretty late. The spring is closed. However, if you pay, I will let you in."

Hearing this had lifted a weight off of Lan Wangji's shoulders. He had paid the employee and entered the deserted hot spring.

He had gotten rid of his upper garments and was about to step inside when Wei Ying had called, "Good, I see that you are stripping. Hand them over. I will hold them for you. The floor is wet."

"Wei Ying!" Wangji had exclaimed, trying to get dressed again.

"Lan Zhan, stop! What are you doing!? I was only teasing!" The younger man had admitted, but just as he was about to turn and walk away, his foot had caught on a loose rock, and he had fallen into it spring.

Acting subconsciously, Wangji had stepped into the spring and pulled him up, "Careful!" He had blurted out uncharacteristically, wrapping his arms around the latter.

His heart had started thumping at the closeness. Drenched from head to toe Wei Ying's robes had clung to his skin. Lan Wangji's breath had hitched as Wei Ying had gripped his arm and stared into his eyes.

Lan Wangji had tried to let go and step away. Wei Ying, however, had not let him step away, "Don't go." He had said and pulled himself closer. 

 "Wei Ying! Stop this. What are you doing?" The younger Jade had asked, trying halfheartedly to distance himself from the boy he desired.

"Don't you like it... when I touch you like this?" Wei Ying had asked, pressing their bodies together.

"Ah!" Lan Wangji had moaned despite himself; he had been getting aroused bit by bit since the time they had entered the room.

 "Do you do like it... "

"This is wrong." He had said, holding on to the last shred of his sanity. 

 "Is it? I don't see how?" Wei Ying had continued and kissed Wangji's cheek, "Lan Zhan, you are so fucking beautiful." With that, Wei Ying had pressed himself closer and kissed Lan Zhan.

Lan Wangji was but a mortal. His cultivation, thought higher than most, was still not up to par. He was a youngster, a student. Wei Ying's closeness had been too much, and he had finally given in. He had snaked his hand around Wei Ying's waist and stroked his face lovingly before deepening the kiss.

It had only served to excite and encourage Wei Ying. He had discarded his upper garments, and as skin had rubbed over skin, their desires had grown too.

The young men, overcome by their feelings and emotions, had kissed with abandon. Somewhere along the way, Wangji had made quick work of Wei Ying's lower garments, ridding the younger man entirely of clothing. As the calming hot water had lapped against their waists, Lan Wangji's hand had moved lower and placed itself over the younger's bottom, caressing it gently.

The heat from Lan Zhan's palm and the steam rising from the spring had made Wei Ying feel dizzy with want. He had rutted against Wangji's thighs, losing himself to his needs. "Lan Zhan...fuck... " He had moaned, throwing his head back. 

 "Touch me." He had added in a hoarse voice, threading his fingers through the latter's hair.

That is all Lan Wangji had needed. He had felt braver and thus had acted bolder. He had leaned in and bitten Wei Ying's lower lip; his finger had grazed over the younger's entrance, dragging another desperate moan from him.

Wei Ying had tugged at Lan Wangji's hair, making him look at the latter, "What did you..."

Even before Wei Ying could complete his sentence, Lan Wangji had realized what he had done, yet, instead of stopping, he had wanted to continue. He had wanted to thrust his fingers one by one into the tight warm place.

By this time, he had already read the book: homoerotic book that Wei Ying had teased him with, in his mind. Every image he had looked at, Wangji had replaced the copulating pair with Wei Ying and himself. Wangji had felt guilty but had not wanted to stop; he had wanted to make Wei Ying moan his name.

Even though he could feel that something was not quite right, he could not place it as to what it was, and the light bearer realized that he didn't care either. Holding Wei Ying in his arms, ravishing his lips, Wangji carried him deeper into the spring. Backing him up against a wall, mind in a lust-filled haze, he moved his hand lower to do what the object of his affection had demanded: to touch Wei Ying.

Precisely at that moment, the door leading to the springs had opened, "Young master, are you there?" The innkeeper had asked.

Lan Wangji had shielded Wei Ying's body with his and replied, "Yes."

"Master, this lowly one is ashamed to admit that his employee has made a grave mistake."

By this time, Lan Wangji had already pushed Wei Ying away and grabbed his inner robes. "Why?"

"This pool is not for a young master like yourself. It's enchanted. It makes you do things that are against your nature." Hesitating, the innkeeper had continued, "This lowly one is just glad the young master is alone. Please remove yourself from these waters at the earliest." As an afterthought, the innkeeper had added, "If you so wish, I will send bath water to your room." With that, the innkeeper had left, leaving Lan Wangji with a mind filled with questions and confusion.

As soon as the door had swung closed, Wei Ying had collapsed on Lan Zhan's chest, "Wei Ying!" The older man had called before realizing that the latter has lost consciousness.

He had looked around and lifted the younger in his arms and left the spring. He had dressed both of them up hurriedly and peeped outside. Finding no one around, Lan Wangji had carried Wei Ying to their room where a bath was already kept ready for them.

As soon as Lan Wangji had placed Wei Ying on the bed, he had stirred and opened his eyes, "Why am I wet?" He had looked at Lan Zhan, "You are wet too!" Then his eyes had fallen on the bathtub, "Did you dunk us in the bath with our clothes on?"

'He doesn't remember anything!' Lan Wangji had realized and lied, "Probably not, why would I? All I know is that I went for a bath, and you intruded!"

"Really!?" Wei Ying had exclaimed, "Lan er gege, did you take advantage of me in there?" He asked, wiggling his brows.

This statement had hit close to home, "How dare you!? Shameless!" Wangji hand growled. "I found you unconscious in the spring and brought you back!" He bit out, "Get out!" 

 Wei Ying had chuckled, "Lan er gege, why are you so angry?" He had walked over and stood in front of Wangji, "Lan er gege... "

"Stop calling me like that!"

"Lan er gege... "

"Have you forgotten what happened the last time?" Wangji had threatened. His body had started betraying him once again. With Wei Ying standing in front of him, breaching his personal space, drenched from head to toe, had once again started making Wangji feel hot.

"Aigoooo, my memory is so poor. Lan er gege, I have completely forgotten about it." He had teased, batting his long thick lashes seductively, "Remind me, won't you, Lan... er... gege?"
