Family dinner-III

The more serious Lan Wangji became, the more Wei Wuxian couldn't suppress the turbulent desire to do evil in his heart.

He used his fingers to lightly clasp the small black pottery cup, making a tiny crisp sound that only the two of them could hear. Upon hearing the sound, Lan Wangji's eyes moved a few inches away unnoticeably.

Wei Wuxian knew that even if Lan Wangji turned his gaze at the right angle, the corner of his eye would not miss his every move. So, he raised the small cup and pretended to drink from it, turning it around in his hand, staying at the position where Lan Wangji had just drank, and covering the edge of the pottery cup with his lips.

Sure enough, Lan Wangji's hands were originally placed squarely on his legs. At this time, the posture remained unchanged, but the fingers that were quietly covered under the white sleeves were slightly curled up.

Seeing this, Wei Wuxian's heart was filled with excitement and he relaxed for a moment. Just as his body was about to involuntarily lean towards someone like before, he suddenly heard a severe cough from Lan Qiren. Wei Wuxian quickly straightened his crooked body and returned to sitting upright.

After finishing the soup, wait for a while before officially serving the dishes.

Three side dishes were served on each table, each a small dish, either green or white, exactly the same as when Wei Wuxian was a student. After so many years, nothing has changed except that it tastes even more bitter. Half of it is caused by the region, usually due to nature. Wei Wuxian has a heavy taste, likes spicy food, and doesn't like anything meat. Facing such simple dishes, he really has no appetite, and he eats them indiscriminately, not knowing what he is eating. What. During this period, Lan Qiren's eyes swept over him from time to time, staring at him fiercely, as if he was always ready to call his name and tell him to get out, just like when he was listening to the lectures. Unexpectedly, Wei Wuxian acted uncharacteristically well-behaved, leaving him with no choice but to give up.

After finishing the meal in a dull manner, the servants removed the plates and food tables. As usual, Lan Xichen began to summarize the recent family activities. But after only listening to him speak a few words, Wei Wuxian felt that he was absent-minded. He even misremembered the locations of two night hunts. He didn't notice after he finished speaking, which made Lan Qiren look at him sideways, and the goat's beard was I blew it several times, listened for a while, and finally couldn't help but interrupt. A family dinner ended in a hurry without any danger.

With the boring opening, boring process, and boring ending, Wei Wuxian was forced to be bored for nearly an hour. There was no delicious food, no singing and dancing to add to the entertainment, and he felt as if he had been suffering from fleas for half a year. However, after it was over, Lan Qiren sternly called Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji away. It seemed that they were going to lecture them again, and they were both being lectured at the same time.

He had no one to run wild with, so he wandered around and saw several juniors walking together in twos and threes. He was about to say hello and catch him for fun, but Lan SiZhui, Lan Jingyi and others became angry when they saw him. Change, turn around and leave.

Wei Wuxian understood in his heart and wandered into a relatively cold forest. After waiting for a while, the few children sneaked out again and said, "Senior Wei, it's not that we ignored you on purpose. My husband has said that if anyone talks to you, copy the Lan family's family motto from beginning to end..."

"Sir" is the unified honorific title given to Lan Qiren by all the children and disciples of the Gusu Lan Sect. When the word "Sir" is mentioned, it only refers to him. Wei WuXian said proudly, "It's okay. I already knew it. Your husband has been guarding against fire and theft for a day or two. Do you think he has guarded against it? He probably felt that the big cabbage he grew at home was eaten by pigs, and he got angry. It's inevitable to get older, hahahaha…"

Lan Jingyi: "..."

Lan SiZhui: "...Hahaha."

Wei Wuxian finished laughing and said, "By the way, you were punished before for hunting at night with Wen Ning. How is he now?"

Lan SiZhui thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. He's probably hiding in a corner under the mountain. We'll look for him next time we go hunting at night. But I can't say for sure. When we were separated, Sect Master Jiang seemed Still looking very angry..."

Wei Wuxian said, "What?! Jiang Cheng? Why is he here?"

Lan SiZhui said: "Last time we made an appointment with Mr. Jin to go hunting at night, so..."

Wei Wuxian understood immediately.

One could guess that Wen Ning was secretly following Jin Ling or one of the juniors from the Lan family, secretly protecting them and helping out when the night hunt was in crisis. It turns out that Jiang Cheng must also be following Jin Ling secretly, fearing that something might happen to him again. So the two met at the critical moment and caused a lot of unpleasantness. When asked, it turned out that this was indeed the case, and Wei Wuxian was dumbfounded.

After a pause, he asked again: "How are Sect Master Jiang and Jin Ling doing lately?"

After Jin Guangyao's death, Jin Ling was the only heir with the most upright bloodline of the Lanling Jin family. However, there were many elders from the family's sidelines watching eagerly, ready to take action when they saw this opportunity. The Lanling Jin family was ridiculed by everyone outside, and everyone had their own evil intentions inside. Jin Ling was only a teenager, so how could he control the situation? After all, it was Jiang Cheng who walked around the Jinlin Terrace with Zidian. Let him temporarily secure his position as the head of the family. As for what changes will happen in the future, no one can say for sure.

Lan Jingyi curled her lips and said, "It looks pretty good. Sect Master Jiang is still the same as before, always beating people with a whip. The eldest lady's temper is getting better and better. In the past, his uncle scolded him three times, but now he can back him ten times." sentence."

Lan SiZhui scolded: "Jingyi, how could you call someone like that behind your back?"

Lan Jingyi defended: "I obviously called you that in front of you."

Hearing what Lan Jingyi said, Wei Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he knew in his heart that this was not what he really wanted to ask, but since Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling both sounded like they were doing well, forget about the rest.

He stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and said, "Okay, that's good. They can keep it up. You can continue to play. I have to leave beforehand."

Lan Jingyi said contemptuously: "You have always been doing nothing in Yunshen, what can you do?"

Wei Wuxian said without turning his head, "Eat the cabbage!"

It was rare for him to get up so early in the morning, so he went back to the quiet room and took a long nap with his head covered. The result of the reversal of day and night was that it was already dusk when he woke up, he missed his dinner, and there was nothing for him to eat. Wei Wuxian didn't feel hungry either, so he continued to rummage through boxes and cabinets to look for Lan Wangji's old copybooks and manuscripts, while he waited. However, even after waiting until nightfall, he still didn't wait for his big cabbage to come back.

Only then did Wei Wuxian realize that his stomach was empty. Counting the time, we found that it was already the curfew period in Yun Shenzhen. According to the family rules, no one else was allowed to go out at night, let alone go out over the wall - in those days, it didn't matter what he was "not allowed" or "forbidden", Wei Wuxian just eats when he's hungry, sleeps when he's sleepy, flirts when he's bored, and runs away when he gets into trouble. But the situation is different now. He doesn't abide by the rules. This debt is directly placed on Lan Wangji. No matter how hungry or bored he is, he can only sigh and bear it.

At this moment, there was a slight noise outside the quiet room, and the door was gently pushed open.

Lan Wangji is back.

Wei Wuxian lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

Hearing only the sound of Lan Wangji's footsteps, he walked gently to the desk, put something on it, and never spoke. Wei Wuxian originally wanted to continue pretending to be dead, but Lan Wangji seemed to open the lid of something, and a burst of overwhelming spicy fragrance instantly overwhelmed the cool sandalwood that originally filled the quiet room.

Wei Wuxian climbed up from the ground and said, "Second brother! I will be your ox and horse for the rest of my life!"

Lan Wangji calmly took out the dishes from the food box on the desk. Wei Wuxian floated next to him and saw five or six snow-white plates filled with red and red dishes. He was filled with joy. He was overjoyed and said with red eyes: "Hanguang-Jun, you are so polite. You are so considerate and even brought me food. Just call me if you want to do anything from now on."

Lan Wangji finally took out a pair of ivory white chopsticks, placed them horizontally on the bowl, and said softly: "Eat without words."

Wei WuXian said, "You still say you won't say anything during bedtime. Why don't you stop me when I talk so much every night?"

Lan Wangji glanced at him, and Wei Wuxian said: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. We are all like this, and you are still so thin-skinned and embarrassed at every turn. I like this about you. You are from Caiyi Town Did you bring it to that Hunan restaurant?"

Lan Wangji didn't comment, but Wei Wuxian acquiesced. He sat at the desk and said, "I don't know if that Hunan restaurant has closed down. We always ate there in the past. Otherwise, if we just ate your food, I'd be afraid." It won't survive those few months. Hey, look at these, this is called a family dinner."

Lan Wangji asked: "'We'?"

Wei Wuxian said, "Jiang Cheng and I. Occasionally there's Nie Huaisang and a few others."

With a sideways glance, he laughed in a low voice: "Why are you looking at me like this? Hanguang-Jun, don't forget, I invited you to go to a restaurant with me back then. How enthusiastic and hardworking you are. It's you." You won't go. If I say a word to you, you'll glare at me and tell me how many mistakes I've made. I haven't even settled the accounts with you yet, so you're not happy anymore. Speaking of which..."

He nuzzled up to Lan Wangji and said, "I was worried about breaking the ban, so I resisted and didn't sneak out. I stayed in the house waiting for you. Who knew, Hanguang-kun, that you would break the ban and go out to find something for me to eat?" . If you are so unruly, if your uncle finds out, he will have angina again."

Lan Wangji lowered his head and hugged his waist, seemingly silent and motionless, but Wei Wuxian could feel his fingers caressing his waist intentionally or unintentionally. His fingers were so hot that the heat penetrated through his clothes and reached his skin, and the touch was extremely clear.

Wei Wuxian said, "Hanguang-Jun, I drank your medicinal soup, and now my mouth is full of bitterness and I can't eat anything. What should I do?"

Lan Wangji said: "One bite."

Wei WuXian said, "Yes. I only took a sip, but I don't know who prepared this medicinal soup. It has such a strong aftertaste. The bitter taste slipped from the tip of my tongue and entered my throat. Please tell me quickly. ,what to do."

After a moment of silence, Lan Wangji said, "Neutralize."

Wei Wuxian humbly asked for advice: "How to neutralize it?"

Lan Wangji raised his face.

There was a faint medicinal fragrance permeating the lips and teeth of the two people, and the slight bitter taste made the kiss particularly long.

After finally separating, Wei Wuxian said softly: "Hanguang-Jun, I just remembered that you drank two cups of the medicinal soup, and it was more bitter than me."

Lan Wangji said: "Yeah."

Wei WuXian said, "But you still taste quite sweet, which is really weird."

"..." Lan Wangji said, "You eat first."

After a pause, he added: "Eat before doing anything."

Wei WuXian said, "Let's eat the cabbage first."

Lan Wangji frowned slightly, as if he was slightly confused as to why he suddenly mentioned cabbage. Wei Wuxian laughed and hooked his arm around his neck.

The so-called family dinner is more appropriate to have it behind closed doors.
