The guqin string was extremely thin. It was covered in special paint as well, making it almost unseeable by the eye. Along with how disoriented Wei WuXian was, unable to pay attention to anything else, he didn't notice it when it wrapped around the vital region.
Wei WuXian, "Lan Zhan, don't! Don't back away!"
But Lan WangJi immediately walked five steps back without any hesitation. Jin GuangYao, "Wonderful. Now, please unsheathe Bichen."
With a clank, Lan WangJi obeyed again. Wei WuXian raged, "Don't ask for too much!"
Jin GuangYao, "This is already asking for too much? Next, I'm even going to ask HanGuang-Jun to seal away his spiritual powers. What would that be called?"
Wei WuXian seethed, "You..."
Before he could finish, the sharp pain of flesh being lacerated came from his throat. Something dripped down his neck. Lan WangJi's face was pale. Jin GuangYao, "How could he not listen to me? Just think about it, Young Master Wei, his* life is in my hands."
*T/n: Not a typo, WWX is LWJ's life, that's a fact.
Lan WangJi spoke a word at a time, "Do not touch him."
Jin GuangYao, "Then you know what to do, HanGuang-Jun."
A moment later, Lan WangJi responded, "Yes."
Lan XiChen sighed. Lan WangJi raised his hands. With two strong taps, he locked his own spiritual powers.
Jin GuangYao smiled, his voice soft, "This really is..."
Lan WangJi's eyes were locked on them, "Let him go."
Wei WuXian, however, stopped him, "Lan Zhan! I-I have to tell you something."
Jin GuangYao, "Let's save it for later."
Wei WuXian, "No. It's really urgent."
Jin GuangYao, "Then you can also say it right now."
It was only an offhand comment, but Wei WuXian seemed as if he realized something, "You're right." Right after, Wei WuXian shouted with all he could, "Lan Zhan! Lan WangJi! HanGuang-Jun! Back then, I-I really wanted to sleep with you!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Jin GuangYao's hands loosened, and the string fell. As soon as he felt the stinging at his neck disappear, Wei WuXian threw himself at Lan WangJi, unable to wait a second longer.
The shocking confession just now struck Lan WangJi with such force that he still hadn't finished processing it. A few rare streaks of loss and confusion appeared on his normally calm face. It wasn't the first time Wei WuXian hugged him as if he was clinging on for dear life, but this time, it was as though Lan WangJi's body had turned into a heavy log. He froze so much that he didn't even know where to put his hands.
Wei WuXian, "Lan Zhan, did you hear what I said?!"
Lan WangJi's lips moved. A moment later, he spoke, "You..." He'd always been concise and comprehensive with his words, never pausing at all. But right now, he paused with more hesitance than ever. Another moment later, he continued, "You said..."
He seemed as if he wanted to repeat it to make sure he didn't hear it wrong. But to Lan WangJi, those words were indeed too hard to say. Immediately, Wei WuXian decided to say it again, "I said I really wanted to..."
"Ahem!" Standing on the side, Lan XiChen clenched his right hand into a fist and put it to his lips. After some thought, he sighed, "... Young Master Wei, it certainly isn't the best time and place to say such words."
