Lan Wangji was reading an old literature book in the serene atmosphere of Jingshi.

But it was not as tranquil as it seemed. At least not for eyes.

Few feet away from Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian was lying on the floor, reading an erotic book and playing with his clothed cock.

Really a terrible person for Cloud Recess.

Lan Wangji looked up at his fiance and shook his head while throwing a disappointed look.

It didn't go unnoticed by the other.

"What's that look for? Someone has rejected to pay attention to his fiance, so what can I do? " Wei Wuxian said pouting and sulking childishly.

It has been 5 years of their relationship. Wei Wuxian sometimes comes to Cloud Recess to spend time with his fiance and his another family.

He is now the Yiling Patriarch after he provided homage to the old and weak Wen remnants at Yiling. Though other sects opposed at first, but they did not dare to challenge him as it meant challenging both Lan and Jiang Sects as well.

"No distraction while studying" Lan Wangji said looking down at his book, but watching Wei Wuxian from the corner of his eyes. He has been watching his fiance this whole time. It is really fun to tease your mischievous fiance sometimes. Or else who would want to waste the little time you get to spend with your better half ?

"Yes yes. The yiling patriarch is distraction for the great Hanguang-jun indeed" Wei Wuxian said loudly in a sulking tone.

He turned away on the other side and with one leg propped up, began to resume his work.

Lan Wangji was amused. He had seen a lot of these tantrums from his fiance and knew exactly how to handle.

"Wei ying~" Lan Wangji called in a sweet tone.

"What? " Wei Wuxian asked angrily.

'Hmm... Perhaps he is really angry today'. Lan Wangji thought.

"Wei Ying... Sorry for ignoring you". Lan Wangji said.

" Fuck off and read your book. Don't disturb me". Wei Wuxian said in an indifferent tone.

"Hmm" Lan Wangji replied.

Wei Wuxian turned his head, and glanced sidewise at Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji glanced back at him.

"Hmmph" Wei Wuxian made an angry noise and stuck his tongue out at his fiance and again focused on what he was doing.

"I am sorry" Lan Wangji said.

"Don't talk to me". Wei Wuxian said.

But Lan Wangji picked up the visible softness in the other's tone. Melting finally.

" I will reprimand " Lan Wangji said.

Wei Wuxian now turned towards his fiance and looked at him skeptically.

"What are you gonna do? Fuck me? Forget about that. No touching for next two days".

Lan Wangji's remained quiet - calm, composed and elegant as always. He summoned his Guqin and placed it on the table and prepared to play.

Wei Wuxian's eyes sparkled. But he soon put on the early sulking face.

Before starting to play, Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian and the other twisted his face in rebellion.

Lan Wangji smiled shaking his head and put his finger on the Guqin string.

Wei Wuxian was all ears with excitement and happiness. He loves it when his fiance plays Guqin for him. But he did not express his hapiness this time - suppressing it with great efforts.

The first note rang and the soothing sound from the melodious strings echoed in the tranquil Jingshi like the shy stream burbles of river.

The next few notes rang again and Wei Wuxian froze. He sat up straight and looked at his fiance with surprise.

The string of notes kept on flowing and the soothing music sounded as melodious as the giggles of river waves - appeasing, healing and mollifying.

The music notes were unbridled not much precise- not as meticulous and exemplary as other classic Gusu music pieces, but there was a strange innocence in the music notes - as if emanating true love as pure as innocence.

Wei Wuxian just stared at the Godly man playing the notes on his instrument.

Lan Wangji stopped playing after finishing the piece and at looked up at his fiance whose eyes were almost glistening.

"Remember the song? " Lan Wangji asked - thousand emotions running wild in his eyes.

"Angel.. " Wei Wuxian called out... Very softly.

"Yes Xiao Wei" Lan Wangji said and smiled.

Wei Wuxian stood up from the floor and ran towards the other. Lan Wangji opened his arms wide as if he had known this would happen.

Wei Wuxian threw himself at his fiance and Lan Wangji welcomed his lover again - in a brand new way.

Wei Wuxian sat in Lan Wangji's lap with his legs on the either side of the other's waist and ducked his head inside his lover's neck. Both hugged each other tightly.

"It was you all the time. Do you know I had missed you so much? " Wei Wuxian said in a hoarse voice.

"I missed you too" Lan Wangji said kissing his lover's forehead.

A small 3 years old child was shivering beside the street, his clothes torn and ragged. The thin clothes were of no help to warm him up from the harsh winter. His stomach growled. Today no one offered him food even though he begged from many people.

'Seems like today good people are sitting at home as it is cold outside'. He thought.
He was hugging himself tightly in an attempt to get sone warmth and buried his head in his knees.

Suddenly, he felt a very vibrant warmth on his body - as if someone put a blanket on him. He held his head up and looked at himself, and was surprised to find a fine, smooth, white woolen blanket on him. He wrapped it around himself tighter - relishing the warmth. He thought God has sent the blanket out of compassion.

"Are you hungry? " A childish cold voice startled the little boy and he looked up.

A beautiful white robed boy of his age with a forehead ribbon on his forehead was looking at him sympathetically.

Seeing such a pained expression on the other's face, the little boy flashed a toothy smile - as bright as the sun, as if his stomach is not growling and he was not shivering a few moments ago.

The white robed beautiful boy was mesmerized, and looked at the smller boy with amazement and astonishment.

"Are you hungry? " He asked the little boy again.

"Y-yes" The little boy replied shyly.

The next moment, he was offered with a big steamed bun. He hesitatd a little.

"Do you not like it? " The white robed boy asked innocently.

"Are you giving it to me? " The little boy asked.

"Yes".

Finally he accepted the bun and devoured it. Two days of empty stomach is finally fetched.

" Do you want more".

The little boy nodded shyly, and next moment another bun was offered.

"Thank you Angel".

The white robed little boy was amazed. " What is your name? " He asked.

"Wei.... " He couldn't remember and spell his name properly.

"Wei? " The white robed boy asked.

"Wei.... I... " He didn't continue and smiled sheepishly.

"Okay Xiao Wei ". The white robed boy said and smiled - a tiny one.

The other boy was mesmerized. " Angel is so beautiful " He said and looked at the other with sparkled eyes.

The white robed boy's ears were red.

Suddenly, a voice called from a far distance.

"I need to go Xiao Wei. I will come again".

" Promise? Will you come back? Promise me angel " The little boy said almost tearing.

"I will".

And, he really came back, not only next day, but for next two months.

He brought food every day for the smaller boy. They played with each other,and the smaller boy sometimes slept on his angel's lap. They would spent time together, and after an hour or two, the beautiful boy shall leave.

" Angel... Sing me a song". The little boy said to his angel.

"Hmm" The white robed boy said and after a few moments he started humming a tune in his childish voice.

The other boy listened happily while laying soundly on his friend's lap and with the soothing voice, he was lulled into sleep - cluthing the other's white robe tightly. A soothing caress ran through his head.

One day, the white robed boy offered him a white-blue tassel which he liked so much that he hung it from his sash belt. But after that day he never saw his angel ever again.

He kept on hanging the tassel when he was again alone and used to look at it for hours, still hung it when he was taken to a new home by a purple-robed man, he kept on hanging it from his sash belt when he came to Cloud Recess to study.... And he never parted with the tassel ever since his angel left him.

He had tried to chase his friend in his dreams for years. With passage of time his picture was fading from his mind, but the memories of his angel never left either his heart or his mind.

*Xiao = little.
