It was night once again and Xue Yang and Jingyi, who insisted to sleep over, were nowhere to be found.

Lan Wangji only rolled his eyes, knowing the two troublemakers. They were probably playing some kind of card game where Xue Yang would clean Jingyi out of his money instead of doing his job.

He walked to the kitchen, in darkness, to fetch some water when he felt that same feeling again.

Someone was inside the apartment.

He tried to adjust his vision when he saw it, a flash of movement from behind the couch. 

His apartment was a huge open space, so there was nowhere to hide, really. He moved like a lightning to try and catch this stubborn intruder and find out what he was doing, lurking around another person's home, but he found nothing. Instead, a few nanosecond later, he felt a cold, sharp blade being pushed against his jugular.

"Jesus, loverboy, can you give me another minute to finish my job? I was being scolded by my boss yesterday you know? And why don't you wear clothes again?"

This intruder sure was… chatty.

"What do you want?" 

Suddenly a thought came into Lan Wangji's mind.

"What did you do to my friends?"

"Don't worry about your friends, they're sound asleep upstairs. Unlike you. Can you be a good boy and just go to sleep and let me finish my job in peace? 

The intruder had the audacity to groan and complained about him being a nuisance in his own home. He was angry and in a sudden move he took the slacking hand that pointed the blade to his neck, flipped the intruder and locked his arms behind him. The same position he did to Lan Wangji yesterday.

"Oof, shit, what a move, thought you're just a pretty face there for a second." 

Lan Wangji could hear the smile in the voice and he was confused. This was a strange man, to not be afraid at all. 

"Were you sent by the Jins?" Lan Wangji pressed the knife to the small of the intruder's back, which would hurt him if he made a sudden move.

"What? No!" He sounded so offended by Lan Wangji's accusation. "I'm an independent contractor, and I have no business with you actually, I just need to do something here, not an ideal solution, but time's ticking."

Lan Wangji pondered his words. He already found out who his neighbour was and this intruder's words made sense. He unconsciously lowered down his defense and the other man seemed to sense it and freed himself to grab Lan Wangji's hand that held the knife and flipped Lan Wangji on his back. Again.

"I really don't want to hurt you, and I don't have any beef with you. I just need to collect my stuff here and I'm out of your life, for good. So, help a brother here, pretty please?" 

The man wore an all black and face mask. But one thing Lan Wangji noticed was his silver eyes. He just looked straight into the eyes until the intruder sighed heavily.

"Now I know why they call you the sexiest man alive. But anyway, I have a spare cuff here, pink fur this time. Would you like to try?" He dangled a pink fur handcuff from his finger and the sight of it choked Lan Wangji.

"Don't you dare… hmpf…!"

The man with the silver eyes stuffed Lan Wangji's mouth with a soft cloth and tied his hands with some kind of soft rope before putting the pink fur handcuff on him. Then he moved down to tie his feet together and threw him on the couch. He sheathed the knife on his back but his grip was like steel.

"So, I guess this is our last goodbye, I won't bother you again, don't miss me loverboy." He winked at Lan Wangji and pulled out a phone from his small bag. "Hey, it's me… yeah I got it… no, no complication." He looked at Lan Wangji and chuckled. "Only a minor disturbance from the house cat… fine… it's tomorrow at ten." 

He then put the phone away and blew Lan Wangji a kiss before he left from the balcony.

And this time he just jumped off.

Lan Wangji was seething in anger.

Never before he was humiliated like this.

When Xue Yang and Jingyi ran downstairs in panic to find him, they stopped in their tracks and Lan Wangji could see how hard they tried to hold their laughs.

"I never knew that pink suits you boss."

Xue Yang ran his big mouth again, while Jingyi bit his lips to stop himself from laughing.

"Shut up. Check the camera now, I want this fucking bastard to be caught ASAP." 

Lan Wangji's eyes fell on the soft cloth that was being used to stuff his mouth and he was enraged.

It was a woman's panties.

And it was a match to the pink fur handcuff.

Who the hell brought s&m stuff on their law breaking adventure?

Lan Wangji was so angry he punched the glass desk and it shattered into a million pieces.

"I. Want. Him. Dead. Now."

Xue Yang, still trying hard to hold his laughter, only nodded and ran away from the apartment.

"Uncle, do you want to…" Jingyi pointed at Lan Wangji's bleeding hand.

"Not a word, Jingyi, not a word to anyone. Tell Xue Yang I will cut him into pieces and sell him to the highest bidder if he tells anyone."

"Okay, uncle."

Jingyi followed suit and ran away from the wrath of Lan Wangji.
