For the next few days, Wei Wuxian was busy preparing for the Grand Opening of Purgatory on Saturday night, while Lan Wangji was also busy with Interpols and his usual business. They only met in the afternoon for dinner and sleep, and in the morning they went their own way. Lan Wangji wanted to complain of course, but he was drowned in catching up on all his business. Although he was helped by Hua Cheng, the Yuwen's family's business was too vast, and his grandfather was also not helping at all. Thankfully, his grandfather's right hand woman, Ling Wen, was there to help him too. She was also the one who informed Lan Wangji that his grandfather was home and expecting to see him this Saturday at noon at his villa on the mountain. And to be prepared for his usual antics. Well, she did not say it out loud, but Lan Wangji knew her long enough to hear the warning in her voice. She knew too that Lan Wangji hated surprises, and his grandfather always ignored it and prepared surprises all the time for his favorite grandson.

Let's see who's going to be surprised then.

Lan Wangji was imagining how surprised his grandpa would be when Wei Ying came with him to the supposedly surprise party. Then his phone vibrated to signal that a message had arrived. He opened it to see a message from Wei Wuxian.

Dinner. Tonight 7 p.m. your place. Don't be late.

He looked at his watch and it was only two in the afternoon. Five more hours until he could see his beloved and he better be prepared because he had a feeling something good would happen tonight. He then ordered a huge bouquet of red spider lily, Wei Wuxian's favourite, and a bottle of Dom Pérignon Rosé, which probably would be thrown to the tub judging by Wei Wuxian's taste, but he just loved to pamper him. And besides, they had not had a proper talk for a few days now, and he missed him so much. Well, he could handle a few more hours before they finally had time for themselves. In the future, he would set aside his weekend for his lover, no excuses.

Meanwhile at Purgatory, everything was hectic for their opening tomorrow night. They would be open in the morning as well starting from Sunday, for breakfast and brunch, then they would close for the afternoon to prepare for the night. The head of the kitchen was an acquaintance of Luo Binghe, and he was adept at making all kinds of barbeque, asian and western. Wei Wuxian even bought a huge charcoal grill to get the perfect char on the meat, and made a special room to smoke the meat and make ham. The chef, a Chinese American named Nash, did the test dishes wonderfully. Luo Binghe, Shen Qingqiu, Liu Qingge, even Chen Yu and Xue Qing, who seemed awfully close lately, praised the authenticity of the flavor and the juiciness of the meat. They even asked the new bartenders, Yan Qing and Jun Ruoxi to taste and they all agreed that it was perfect.

"So, Sunday we will start with Sunday Roast, complete with gravy and Yorkshire pudding, scalloped potatoes, grilled vegetables. Do a few kinds of potatoes and vegs, creamed spinach and honey mustard brussel sprout is okay too." Wei Wuxian checked the list for Sunday brunch. "Make the chinese roasted meats for dailies, pork crackling, duck, chicken, with steamed rice and vegs. Soups. The Sunday Roast will only be available on Sundays. Take notes of what people like most." He talked to the waiters and waitresses, and he also made a modification in the program's code to calculate which dishes were the favorite. "Drinks. Bartenders, standard cocktails and try to make new inventions. I'll give a bonus to the most favorite new recipe, but run it through me or Hua Cheng first before you serve the customers." He looked at his tab, and talked to Jun Ruoxi, Yan Qing, and Nash. "Saturday night. Straight shots, standard cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, nothing too fancy. All kinds of wings, spicy, buffalo, asian. Ribs, brisket, anything that can be eaten with hands."

"Aye aye manager, don't fret, Imma blow their mind with my baby back ribs and smoked brisket! It will melt in your mouth like y'all never tasted it before." Nash grinned and gave Wei Wuxian his thumbs up. "Better going back to the kitchen to smoke all that meat." He then went back to the kitchen and did not come out again.

"Wei Wuxian." Shen Qingqiu suddenly came out of nowhere and dragged him away from the briefing. "We can finish everything here, don't you have something to do tonight?" He grinned widely, then tapped on his watch. Wei Wuxian looked at the time and realized that it's already five, and he had not yet prepared for the night. But Shen Qingqiu gave him a huge box and shooed him away.

"Everything you'll need is there. Go home, and report back to us tomorrow."

Lan Wangji entered his apartment at precisely fifteen minutes to seven, and he was welcomed by a calm voice of the A.I that Wei Wuxian newly installed.

"Welcome, Master."

"Where's Wei Ying?" He took off his jacket and shoes, and changed it into a house sandal, then he unbuttoned his white shirt.

"Missus is not here. She said to let you know she will be back soon and to go take a bath she had prepared for you, Master."

He chuckled at the A.I insistence of calling Wei Wuxian's Missus, in a way, the A.I was more stubborn than Suibian who was afraid of Wei Wuxian. He did not know that A.I also came in different personalities like this and he enjoyed every single one. Lan Wangji wondered if there's a build-an-A.I program that Wei Wuxian used to make them that diverged.

As he was that deep in thought, he unshed all his clothes and walked to the bathroom where the bath was already prepared, complete with aromatic candles and flower petals in the milky white water. Lan Wangji wondered if somehow Wei Wuxian hid inside the water to surprise him, but no, he would do a more elaborate plan. So he entered the warm water and sighed in contentment.

He was just closing his eyes for a moment when he heard a movement near the bathtub and he opened his eyes to see Wei Wuxian was standing there in a French Maid's outfit, complete with white tights with bows, white suspender, miniskirts, apron, headband, and the black mary jane shoes. He became speechless for a moment and all of his blood from his brain came rushing down to his nether region when Wei Wuxian spoke in a shy demeanor, unlike himself.

"Master, will you let me wash your back?" Wei Wuxian coquettishly bit his lips in an act of shyness, and that only added fuel to the fire.

"Why don't you join me here?" Lan Wangji tried to grab Wei Wuxian's hand, but he dodged it.

"Master, I'll play with you later, for now, let me wash you first." Without waiting for an answer, Wei Wuxian took a small towel and wet it with water from the tub and he cleaned Lan Wangji's back thoroughly. After a while, he asked Lan Wangji to move to the bedroom and laid face down.

"Are you going to play with me now?" Lan Wangji asked Wei Wuxian, who was busy preparing something.

"Later, Master. Now, I'm going to give you a massage first." Wei Wuxian then started to massage Lan Wangji, from his upper back. He poured aromatic oils and warmed it before he touched Lan Wangji's back with his nimble fingers. The massage was actually really good, and it made Lan Wangji tense muscles loosened up and he was starting to feel relaxed, when Wei Wuxian suddenly flipped him upward and quickly tied his hands on top of his head.

"Mm, are we going to play now?" Lan Wangji suddenly felt very refreshed, and seeing Wei Wuxian straddling him only awoke the junior's interest.

Wei Wuxian smiled and he took out a blindfold from his apron and kissed Lan Wangji. 

"The game starts now, baby. Let's see who comes first." Then he put the blindfold over Lan Wangji's eyes.
