Wang Yibo's POV:

"Hey! What are you doing sitting here all alone?" Tapping my shoulder Xiao Zhan enquires as he takes an empty seat by my side which was earlier occupied by Akio.

"Akio was here." Turning to look at his face my gaze lingers on his smile.

"I know, but where is he now?"

"Wei Wuxian summoned Akio and Sizhui. They're with him at the moment." For some reason my gaze continues to linger on his ripe lips.

"Are you alright?" He prods and I nod.

"Did you reconcile with Akio?" He questions further but my eyes caresses his lips.

"Dai Tou are you-" unable to control the urge I gently press my lips against Xiao Zhan and his eyes widen. Quickly retracting away from him I turn to leave when he grabs hold of my wrist and his action commands me to stay. After a blink or two he slowly words his emotions, "Why did you kiss me Dai Tou?"

"I..." Taking a deep breath I smile, "Sorry."

Perplexed he enquires, "Sorry that you kissed me?" Is he sad?

"Not sorry about kissing you. Your lips are so alluring." I smile inwardly as the sadness in his eyes instantly dissipates at my words. "Then why are you sorry, Dai Tou?"

"Because I made you worry about me for all these months. Because I let another person kiss me when-" Placing a finger on my lips he shakes his head lightly and smiles, "Don't. Never apologise for a past act for which you aren't accountable to anyone. Not even me."

"But-" Pressing the same finger against my lip he continues, "Listen to my words Dai Tou and then let's discuss. Firstly, you were never in love with me. You might have had either a minor or major crush but never beyond. Secondly, you never asked me to pursue you. It has solely always been my decision to wait for you. Thirdly, you're priority has always been Akio. We started living together because of him, so how can I be so selfish in asking you to move on when you just lost him?

"Dai Tou, you were grieving in a way your own way and I wasn't totally guilt free too. While giving you space, this soul should have also considered to give you the warmth your soul needs. Dai Tou, you've flirted with me, you've bit me, you've even kissed me, but never have you been in love with me. Never once have we even discussed the prospect of being together, so how in this world or any can I hold you responsible? But, that's all about to change!"

I have been such a flirt with him.

Biting my lips I dare to ask, "Change?"

"You've kissed me this time knowing very well where and on whom my heart lies in. I am not planning to ever change that. So you just poked a sleeping turtle."

"Sleeping turtle?" Bringing my face close to Xiao Zhan, I could see my image in his eyes, "Aren't turtles supposed to be slow?"

His nose almost nudges mine as he whispers softly, "True. Ask me, I gave my heart to you long ago, Dai Tou. I have been super slow in pursuing you, but remember turtles live for long, and I wish our souls to live longer."

Oh my.

My heart flutters at his words and he grins, "Seems my words have affected you, Dai Tou. This is my plan."

"Plan?" Be calm my heart.

"To make you fall in love with me irrevocably. Once you fall, together we shall raise for eternity."

"Cheesy." I whisper and his lips are now so close to mine, "So be it. Dai Tou?"

"Hm?"

"Be ready to confess your love for me soon." His words depicted a certain challenge. "Why?" I bait.

"Because once you give me your heart there is no going back. I won't allow it. Your mine and mine forever. Your body. Your soul. Your name. You. Period." Oh this man!

"Seems you have planned our future!" I point out and with his lips he teases me just below mine, "True. If having you wear my ring, raising a kid together and us being forever is our future, then I have it all planned out." Placing his forefinger on my neck his tickles gives me goosebumps. Oh my.

"Xiao Zhan." I whisper huskily.

"Dai Tao." He breaths out as my eyelids were half closed drunk in his heat, "Let me kiss you."

With just one nod from me he bites my lower lip and the hunger within us roars out. Climbing onto his lap I sit astride and our mouths dance to a seductive tune of our gasps. Fingers digging below my shirt, his nails scratches my skin, I hiss and bite his upper lip.

Just when he is about to lift my shirt, we hear a discrete cough. Looking down at us is Hua Cheng with a teasing smirk on his face.

"Hua Cheng." Xiao Zhan tries to compose his voice miserably as the man above continues to narrow his eyes at us.

So embarrassing.

"I came down to inform that Wei Wuxian just revealed Lan Zhan's issue to Sizhui and Akio," he pauses and his smirk turns into a grin, "but here there seems to be another story brewing."

I cough and Xiao Zhan immediately pats my back.

"How are the kids?" Xiao Zhan enquires and Hua Cheng nods, "Took is rather well. They're happy that their Hanguang-Jun is alive and safe."

"Good. Good." There is an awkward silence when Hua Cheng turns away from us and comments, "You two are aware that this mansion holds many rooms right?"

Fuck.

Before either of us could speak Hua Cheng walks away but we hear his parting groan, "Now where is Gege when I need him the most? His San Lang is horny."

We both turn to face eachother and as Xiao Zhan smiles, I tuck my face in his neck and start laughing. "That's so embarrassing."

"What Hua Cheng saw? Yes. Having you in my arms? No." At Xiao Zhan's words I kiss his cheeks and he continues to hold me in his arms.

Best place to be in.

~WangXian Timeline~

"Wei Ying." Looking down at my husband who is sitting below my branch I ask, "What is it Lan Zhan?"

With those pale eyes he makes a request, "Can you play me a song?"

Shocked beyond words for he seldom makes any request, I comply immediately and play WangXian.

Wei Wuxian's POV:

Caressing the bamboo flute in my hand I reminice our past when Lan Zhan once asked me to play him a song. What would I give to hear him make that request again?

"Wei Ge!"

With a yelp I place my palm on the racing heart and turn towards the child beside me, "You can't scare an old man like that!"

"Whose old?" Wangji enquires and I nod, "Me!"

"You're not old. You're my Wei Ge." His words makes me smile. "Smart. You're right. I am not old." Patting his head I smile and in return his gaze lands on my flute.

"Can you play me a song, Wei Ge?" I still at his words but soon comply. Playing a tune that I learnt during my travels, the melody is now heard by few passer by. Just as I finish playing, a ghost lady makes her way towards me and smiles seductively, "Young Master, you play so well. Care to join me for a walk and play another song?"

Before I could deny her request humbly, the kid next to me jumps up and calmly states, "He has a husband." Eyeing Wangji in front of me I stifle a smile. It's hilarious. Was Lan Zhan ever this dominating?

Pulling my hand with his we leave the ghost lady behind and I quietly follow the young soul.

Cool breeze caress us as we both stop to observe a cherry blossom tree showering us with her beautiful petals. Turning to me he tugs my sleeve, "Wei Ge?"

"Hm?"

"Play me another song?" One petal sticks to his eyelashes and instinctively I raise my hand to remove them, but at last moment I take a step back. Placing the flute below my lips for some reason I play 'WangXian' and as last note leaves my lips, I raise my eyes to meet his only to find a radiant smile gracing his face.

Same smile as my Lan Zhan.
