It was nearly bed-time. Wei Wuxian had somehow managed to convince Lan Zhan to wait overnight. Lan Wangji could always convince his uncle later, it matter more that Wei Wuxian was happy. Wei Wuxian was back to being the three-years-old Xian-Xian, playing with the Paper Butterfly with A-Yuan, pouting when A-Yuan took the toy. And even though they weren't called, Wu Ming and Lan Wangji had decided to become the silent spectators.

Throughout the game, they had a serious eye-war. Now words were spoken, no bodily muscles were moved, but their eyes were secretly fighting sharper than swords. The race to Wei Wuxian's heart had now begun. And neither of them decides to give up at all.

"Ah, Ying-Er! I had been looking for you." A third voice of Wei Changze said from the door. Then seeing the child, he sent A-Yuan away to the children's sleeping dormitory, so that he could talk about the personal matter to his son directly.

"Yes, Die-Die, say, what's up?" Wei Wuxian said standing up. Lan Zhan and Wu Ming followed.

"Uhm, Ying-Er, you know it's your A-Niang's birthday, right? So i was planning to, um, you know ... Have a little quality time with her, tonight. So if you are okay with it, i mean only if you are okay, otherwise i won't, but if you are, can you not sleep on our bed tonight?" Wei Changze asked with difficulty.

"Oh yea sure, of course. I could sleep on the floor in your room." Wei Wuxian smiled foolishly. For all of his great hundred years smartness, he could only ever imagine this quality time to be hugging and cuddling between the couple.

"No, see, you don't get it son. You can't be in the room, you know. I can't have you see or hear those stuff ─ God no, never." Wei Changze said, grimacing at just the mere thought.

"Hm? Why? What's wrong with cuddles that i can't see? You and A-niang cuddle with me all the time, i get it if you wanna have less of me and more of each other once in a while." Wei Wuxian smiled.

"Cuddles? No- I- what?" Wei Changze was taken aback when he realised that Wei Wuxian did not understand him at all. "I meant the marital things, you know. The husband-wife things." Wei Changze tried to indicate sex the best way he could without saying it.

"Uhm, kissing?"

Wu Ming sighed. In lower voice, he said, "Elder Wei means love-making, Ying-Ge. The kind from your magzine books." Wei Wuxian paused realising. Even though the reason Wei Wuxian was born, was only because his parents had ever made love, it was mentally impossible for him to think that his parents did that stuff.

"Oh, i see, hehe. Don't worry, die-die. Do my A-Niang ─ i mean ─ do whatever you feel with my A-Niang. Who am I to interfere." Wei Wuxian said, stuttering, nervously laughing. "I'll just adjust here, you know, with Wu Ming and Lan Zhan. Don't worry, Don't worry. You can leave."

And Wei Changze did, escaping the awkwardness.

There was a brief silence, before Wei Wuxian spoke again. "Lan Zhan, Wu Ming." He called, slightly traumatized with his own imaginative thoughts, "Have y'all ever imagined your parents doing the do? Like being naked and stuff?"

Lan Wangji closed his eyes, and Wu Ming sighed. For once, their thoughts were on the same line, how am I really in love with him.

Very much as expected, Wei Wuxian bullied Lan Wangji and Wu Ming to clamp up with him on the same one bed. The bed could accommodate two people comfortably, but not so much of three people. On the pessimistic side, there was so much less space to breathe. On the optimistic side, they had a reason to stick together. Especially, stick to Wei Wuxian.

Throughout the night, the very unstable sleeper, Wei Wuxian, kept tossing and turning around the bed. Sometimes he'd hold Lan Wangji. Sometimes he'd hold Wu Ming. Each time he did so, one would smirk, and the other would roll his eyes. Both of them had enough pride to keep going for as long as they were awake in the night.

"I have known Wei Ying longer." Lan Wangji put forward his argument first, once he was sure that the one between them was asleep.

"I know him better." Wu Ming presented his argument.

"You cannot be sure of it." Lan Wangji said. Knowing him for longer automatically suggested that he has known more about Wei Wuxian, right?

"Actually, i am. Ying-Ge did told me quite a lot of things which he hasn't told anyone else. Including the fact that he likes younger people better." Well, the last part was a lie. Wei Wuxian never mentioned any particular zeal to any age group or gender to Wu Ming, or anyone. But the look on Lan Wangji was worth the small white lie. "Besides, i was here during his worst."

"He is alive because i saved him." Lan Wangji enviously mentioned.

"But you brought him here to die."

"He needed peace from the outside world. They were gonna kill him a worse death. I made an effort to reduce his pain."

"But where were you when he needed you?"

Lan Wangji squinted his eyes in silent wrath. "Do not play with your words to make me feel like the bad person. I had bigger situation to handle in the outer world to protect Wei Ying and his reputation."

"Yeah, keep talking. Ying-Ge would've rather appreciated your presence here than in the outside world." Wu Ming teased. "I mean, i was there to wipe his tears, and hug him when he cried, and even made him laugh. Am i not a better person for him?"

Lan Wangji sighed. "Shut up."

Wu Ming chuckled, "Wow, small dick energy."

The argument could go on till the morning, and continue till the next evening. But Lan Wangji, closed his eyes to avoid the man, instead of boasting how big his dick actually was. Because, he really wasn't four years old. Wu Ming chuckled, assuming his temporary victory. And it wasn't only because he annoyed Lan Wangji in their oral fight, but also because Wei Wuxian was in his arms at the moment.
