Always You. Only You

CH 9

Wei Ying can't think anymore.
He turned around, pulled the blanket over his head and curled into ball.

He knows this feeling all too well. When one's heart beats fast and face becomes warm at the mere sight of someone.

He heard the bathroom door open and tightened his grip on the blanket.
The footsteps stopped near his bed-
" Wei Ying
Are you asleep ? "

Lan Wangji ran his hand through Wei Ying's hair twice, before bowing down to lightly touch his forehead with his lips.

" Good night "

THERE'S NO WAY WEI YING IS HAVING A GOOD NIGHT !

' Just what was Lan Zhan thinking ?'

' Did he - no there's no way Lan Zhan likes him ! He probably don't even like men ! '

' But, then why would he ... ? Was he just being nice ? '

In any way, Wei Ying can't sleep. So, he waited till there's no rustling from Lan Zhan's bed, and rushed out of the room like someone is chasing him.

Wei Ying tried to wrap his arms around himself as he walked down the hallway.
It's not yet winter but the cold wind is making his teeth chatter.

' I am so stupid ', he thought
' Why did I even come out ! It's so cold '

The hallway is cold and silent. Only the cameras are standing ready for the next day's shooting.
This floor was reserved for the five of them only, the crew members were a floor above them.

Wei Ying thought about knocking on Jiang Cheng's door but decided against it. Both him and Jiang Cheng are nightowls so the lack of light in Jiang Cheng's room is probably because the Lans have a similar bedtime or something.

' THAT REMINDS ME OF LAN ZHAN AGAIN !
AHHH I CAN'T GET HIM OUT OF MY MIND '

He is so confused about - well everything. Even if he thinks that the rumours about Lan Wangji's cold personality were all false, he has seen how Lan Wangji treats others and him.
When they bumped into each other at the airport, he was afraid that Lan Wangji will be angry but they became friends instead.

These days they came really close, like the first day of shooting when Lan Wangji gave the first badge to him or when Lan Wangji cycled slower to let him go ahead. He still didn't win though he is lazy like that.
But ... No one can deny that Lan Wangji is exceptionally kind to him.

Why ? Is there anything he is not catching ? Anything he is forgetting ?

When Wei Ying finally looked up he is in a place he don't recognise.

' Am I lost ? '

Good, now he is lost both mentally and physically.

' Wow I sounded so smart '

" Wanyin, your phone was ringing "

Jiang Cheng just came out of the bathroom, his hair is still wet.
The person who should be flustered was not supposed to be him, but when he saw Lan Xichen wearing a loose tshirt that shows his collar, he blushed red.

" Ye- yes, you can use the bathroom now "

" Thanks "

Jiang Cheng sighed in relief when Lan Xichen disappeared from his view.

' Ah it's A-Jie '

' A-Cheng ', Jiang Yanli picked up on the first ring

" Jie are you back "

' Oh, I am not I was just worried about you. '

" No need to worry, A-Jie we are doing fine "

' Mm, I know, I keep up with the news and talk with Wen Qing regularly.
But I heard that you two are not getting along with Zixuan '

" Uh- no where did you hear such a thing from ? We are getting along just fine ! "

' Mm, are you sure ? '

" Ofcourse I am sure ! "

Jiang Yanli laughed,
' Alright, Zixuan may seem rude at first but he is really shy. '

" Yeah... "

' A-Cheng don't bully him alright '

" Mm, don't worry so much "

' How can I not ? I am worried now too. I was calling A-Xian for so long, but he didn't pick up, then you - '

" He didn't ? "

' No, I thought maybe he went to sleep '

" But - but he never sleeps this early ! I am starting to hate this show so much. Why can't they let us stay together like always ? "

' Look, who is the one worried now ? '

" I - just - Jie you know him ! "

' Haha, I know. I am hanging up now, good night A- Cheng '

" Mm, good night "

Jiang Cheng sat down, being nice to Jin Zixuan seems a little hard.

' Was Wei Ying so tired, he fell asleep? '
' He was in the bathroom too, maybe - '

" Wanyin ? ", Lan Xichen called

" Uh- you want something "

" Mmhm, you look stressed "

" Ofcourse I am stressed, anyone with a 360 camera following around all day would be "

" Hmm ", Lan Xichen rubbed his chin as if he is in some deep thought, kept his eyes downwards and sat beside Jiang Cheng

" Hey ! Wh - what are you d- doing ? "

" Sitting ? "

" WHY ARE YOU SITTING HERE ! "

" Can I not ? " Lan Xichen made a sad face, pouting a little

" No- "

" Then it's alright "

' What ? Are you sure you are not an actor '

" Wanyin, I was writing a new song recently. If you are not too tired would you like to take a look ? "

" You want me ? To take a look at your song ? "

" I would love to have your opinion "

Jiang Cheng's eyes sparkled. Lan Xichen's new song ! He will be the first one to see it !

" Wanyin ? What do you say ? "

" Uh I would love to ! And please call me by name "

" Alright then, A-Cheng.
You can call me Lan Huan ! "
