punishment

Lan Zhan scrubbed the black burned at bottom of pan as hard he could, face flushed with rage. Jaw dropped in shock seeing his usually clean hand was stained with black coal. Lan Zhan lifted his hand up to his face for clear view, like he making sure he's seeing right, eyes quivering staring at his dirty black hand before glaring at Wei Ying with murdering intent. The said man was deemed to avoid his gaze no matter what, as he should. Thanks to Wei Ying took his sweet time in bathroom, they were late for roll call assembly despite woke up early. Not only they losing sleep, now they were punished to wash all dirty utensil after breakfast.

"f**k system buddy, just wait when i found who invented this stupid system!" Lan Zhan scream frustatedly before continue scrubbed the black pan after a deep annoying sigh. Wei Ying glance at Lan Zhan' back warily, a small smile adorn his handsome face watching Lan Zhan forehead furrow in concentration, lips pouting as he was determined to make the pan white and shine again. Such a stubborn brat, Wei Ying chuckle to himself before continuing arranging and drying all washed utensils.

Bang!

Wei Ying almost loose his grip on the expensive glass plate upon loud sound of Lan Zhan slam the pan into kitchen sink.Fortunately, he succeed to grasp the expensive plate from crashing to the floor and shattering. Wei Ying finally let out a shaky relieve breathe that he didn't aware how long he been holding in. The plate still intact. He is safe, no upcoming compensation will be on his way. Those almond eyes glaring at the source of his almost misfortune. However, wei ying eyes soften when he caught the scene of Lan Zhan huffing in anger mixed with sulking, eyes narrowed at the poor pan in sink like it had offended him. Wei Ying struggling to contain his laugh when watching Lan Zhan having a stare battle with innocent pan. Both hand fisted on each side, lips pouting a little with rapid breath and eyes glaring at helpless pan laying on the sink. Wei Ying had hunch Lan Zhan was dare the pan to continue behaving that way and keep being blackie. Aih! Took a pity for this young master, Wei Ying offerred help with deep sigh

"Just give that i***t pan to me" Wei Ying lazily demand while throw the rug towel towards Lan Zhan "be helpful and wipe dry all these washed plat...huff..what the heck you doing?!! I'm being nice" Wei Ying frustratedly yell. His good intention was interrupted when the rug towel smashed to his face in full force by none than others, Lan Zhan itself.

"If you being nice, then cut off your prissy bath next time. Spare us from this headache. What even you did in the shower that took so long to be done? You even woke up early than me. How come i reach assembly first?" Yibo gritted his teeth in irk.

Wei Ying lips glued into a thin line, his face flushing red remembering not so innocent activity he did this morning "who fault you think it is?" Wei Ying mumbling to himself

"What?" Lan Zhan asked annoyedly as he didn't caught whatever word Wei Ying whisper.

"Nothing" Wei Ying rebuke with the same tone.

"Wait! Are you blushed?" Lan Zhan astonishedly exclaimed

"No...i...i'm not...it's hot here...yeah...hot" Wei Ying stutterly denied. However his skin turn redder and eyes anxiously avoiding Lan Zhan scrutiny gaze. Lan Zhan bite his lower lips to prevent incoming smile. He can guess perfectly what makes Wei Ying spend so much time in bathroom, the thought of Wei Ying m**********g while moaning his name make the heat on his face rising.

Don't get ahead of yourself, i***t ! Lan Zhan cursed himself. Lan Zhan clearing his throat to regain self control. Summon up his acting lesson during kindagarten, Lan Zhan school his expression like he was thinking, making Wei Ying cold sweat.

"Ah ! " Lan Zhan exclaimed dramatically, making Wei Ying gulp nervously. Lan Zhan eyes sparkling and a teasing smirk lighten up his face. Wei Ying can sense danger is coming.

"Oho, boy problem eh?" Lan Zhan wiggling his eyebrows towards the taller man. Desperate to put the end into this embarassing conversation, Wei Ying stomp to sink and reach for the pan

"Hey! What're you doing? This is battle between me and blackie" Lan Zhan slap away Wei Ying hand and get hold on the pan once again.

"You named that old pan, blackie?" Wei Ying bemusedly asking. Tide changes, now it was turn for Lan Zhan pale skin turn into crimson

"None of your business, pervert. Shoo" Lan Zhan chase away Wei Ying from taking his spot in the sink, push that man aside

"Pervert? Yah. Don't act like you never did it"

It was too late when Wei Ying reliazed that he just unintentionally admit upon the act. Frozen in the spot, he didn't dare to meet Lan Zhan' eyes, who for sure laughing at his slip up based on the snickering he caught. Damn, it hurt his pride, he really hated losing face infront of this man. Wei Ying was ready to spit nonsense to uphold his remained dignity yet no word come out as his eyes zeroing on Lan Zhan wrinkling and whiter finger, face was full concentrated with determination.

Tch, he play with water for hours already. So stubborn. What he trying to prove? It just old rusty pan

Wei Ying thought to himself, concerned was obvious on his face. Overwhelmed with emotion his body moved by itself.

Lan Zhan breath hitched when he felt a heat from another body behind him. A warm breath on his neck make his blood shivering. Wei Ying taller frame was looming him from behind, anyone who walk by could easily mistaken they were back hugging.Lan Zhan was trapped between both Wei Ying' veined arm and sink. Wei Ying move closer until their body collide into each other in pretend to grab the salt,baking soda and liquid soap. Feeling Wei Ying grind his front on him, Lan Zhan reflexly bite his lower bit, the clutch on sponge and pan tighten until his knuckle turn white.

"Rub the salt and baking soda at the black area, then pour the liquid soap" Wei Ying huskily whisper near to his ears. Lan Zhan trying hard to control his fast breath, forcing his eyes to fix on Wei Ying hand pour all said ingreadients at the bottom of pan.

"Then, rub it like this"

Wei Ying voice getting deeper. Lan Zhan breathlessly gasp when he felt Wei Ying covering his hand, guiding him to spread the earlier formula with sponge. Wei Ying keep pushing forward until Lan Zhan was pressed deeper into sink and their body glue to each other that not even air can pass between them. That's it! Lan Zhan milky skin turned red when he felt something big and hard poke his ass and Wei Ying breathing getting heavy next to his ear. The air within the room became heated. Lan Zhan swallow his thick saliva, his dazed eyes zeroing on Wei Ying hand covering him, circling to rub the pan.

"then?" Lan Zhan pat himself as his voice isn't cracked to notify his arousal.

"Then we wait for several seconds before..." Wei Ying hoarse voice penetrating his ear drum, and Lan Zhan can feel a lopsided smirk bless the handsome face without actually seeing it. Lan Zhan eyes widen round seeing how easily they remove the black stain, his face brighten up in fascination when the sponge remove the stubborn black stain and reveal it's original color.

"Wow. So easy. Is this magic" Lan Zhan exclaimed, wearing an amaze expression. Lips formed "o" and eyes sparkling, wide round staring at the pan unbelievably . He can feel Wei Ying body trembling against his back and low chuckle sound near to his ear.Lan Zhan tilt his face to the left and meet Wei Ying gaze, hand still grasp the now shinning pan

"It's working like magic" Lan Zhan eyes twinkling with excitement and face brighten up with smile, like a son show his first drawing in class to their father. So child-like and pure. However, his beam smile slowly drop, noticing the heated gaze on him. Not the usual michievious gaze neither lust. This gaze hold an intense fondness, like he is the most precious thing in the world. An overwhelmed adoration that his heart can't handle as it too big and lot. Lan Zhan clearing his throat to ease the awkwardness, his face feel hot and bashfully avoiding Wei Ying eyes, trying to turn his face back to front when suddenly his jaw feel cold and wet. Wei Ying had cup his jaw with his wet hand, while another hand grasp his waist from the side. Caught off guard with unexpected gesture, Lan Zhan lift his eyes to meet Wei Ying only to notice Wei Ying face getting closer to him with heavy lidded eyes.

Soft

Wei Ying lips are soft. His heart feel like burst and eyes widen,Wei Ying had kissed him. It was tender, two lips collide into each other. Lan Zhan can't help but moan lowly when Wei Ying top lips trying to invade his entrance lips, while sucking his lower lips. Lan Zhan feel like crying because it feel too good, closed his eyes and enjoying the wettness of their kiss, heart drummed wildly. After few seconds, Wei Ying break their kiss with a trail of saliva connected between their swollen lips. Their eyes searching for each other, non verbally asking whether this progressive changes were ok? Wei Ying caress Lan Zhan soft cheeks with his cold thumb and Lan Zhan leans towards his touch. A genuine smile plaster on their face, eyes staring deep into each other soul, full of admiration and welcoming. Slowly but surely their body lean towards each other, lips meeting halfway. Lan Zhan turns his body fully towards Wei Ying, arm circling Wei Ying neck with left hand still grasp the pan from earlier. Wei Ying both hand bringing Lan Zhan deep into his chest by hugging Lan Zhan' small waist. Tilting their head to deepen the kiss, Wei Ying brought one hand to hold Lan Zhan back head. A wet moaning sound echoing through the empty kitchen. The duo rival lost in their passion and tongue exploring the cavern.

"Wei Ying ge, are you there?"

Yanli voice broke the spell, Lan Zhan immediately push Wei Ying and panickly 'Pang!' , hit Wei Ying with the pan he holding for all time.

"Ouch" Wei Ying groaning in pain while holding his head

"Oh my! sorry, sorry, i....." Lan Zhan rushingly apologize, approaching Wei Ying , trying to help the man,who seems dizzy and tumbling

"Ying ge, what happen?" Yanli run to them and shocked when noticing a huge bruise on Wei Ying head.

"What happen? Should we call someone?" Yanli asked Lan Zhan worriedly.

"Wait here, i will look for someone" Lan Zhan was ready to spurt into the door with the pan still on his hand but his hand was squeezed by Wei Ying. An arrogant smirk plaster on Wei Ying sexy face

"I marked you as my own from today"

Pang!

"Wei Ying ge"

It' s ambigious but they can feel something changed between them.

.......................................................

Xingchen sat on the nearest bench to the kitchen, back straight with an open book in his hand. It's not he worried about his spoiled best friend who never did household chores, he just happens to feel like reading in here while glancing at door kitchen from time to time.

"You know, Lan Zhan is a grown up man. He can handle himself and even if he faced any trouble, Wei Ying was there too" Xue Yang remarked dryly without taking his gaze from the games on the phone. Xingchen flushed in red as he got caught being fussy over Lan Zhan yet too prideful to admit he had has been found out. Xingchen held his chin high and glaring a hole into the man sat next to him.

"Whose worry? I just…urm..this place inspires me to read" Xingchem claim with faked confident.

Gullible Xue Yang blinked his eyes before gazing around their environment. The wood bench was barely surviving, the sun was hitting the area as there was no tree nor shade, and he can hear the noise from nearest dining hall. Xue Yang glance back at Xingchen with sincere questioning eyes.

"Shut up! Don't . You. Dare. To. Say. Even . A. Word" Xingchen warn with gritted teeth when seeing Xue Yang mouth open to say something.

Xue Yang immediately closed his lips upon the menacing warning and Xingchen murderous face make him gulp hard. Man, he was courting a fierce man despite those gentle beauty faces. Xue Yang nodded, lift his both hand to the air like he was retreating from the war and surrender. Watching Xue Yang focus on his phone again, Xingchen shifted his sharp glare to the closed kitchen door, his clutch on the book getting tighten. It's annoying. He didn't know why, but it's irked him. A Million scenes flashed into his mind, two eternal rivals in the same room, hidden from everyone else view.

What if Wei Ying had enough of Lan Zhan' prissy act and grab the nearby knife, approaching the clueless pouting Lan Zhan slowly and stab! Blood splashing on the white wall and Lan Zhan fall to the ground, with eyes almost closed and weakly mumbling his name "Xingchen"

"Ergh" Xingchen breath hitched and turn paler. Eyes quivering, making Xue Yang look at him worriedly.

"Hey, are you ok? You don't seem well" Xue Yang warily asking, eyeing the frozen man in front of him. However, none of his word register into Xingchen's mind as the said man was busy imagine another murdering scene.

Lan Zhan was kneeling on the ground with tears stricken face, lips quivering in fear when a big dark shadow looming over him. Lan Zhan whispering his name with a shaking voice "xingchen", ready to cry and bang! Wei Ying menacing laugh echoing within the wall with a bloody wooden mug on his hand.

"Ah Zhan" Xingchen sudden scream makes Xue Yang jerk to his feet and immediately looking around for any threatening situation. After making sure they were safe from any harm, Xue Yang' heartbeat back to his normal rhythm.

"Why did you suddenly scream? My lung almost jumps out because of your loud scream" Xue Yang exclaimed, irked, "huh? Oi, xinxin..oi...are you ok?" Xue Yang waving his palm on statue Xingchen, whose hand reach out towards kitchen door direction, eyes widened in mixed with shock and fear. Just what the heck happen with this man? After few body shaking and numerous waving, Xue Yang was lost on how to pull back Xingchen from his shocked state and then a bulb appear on his head. Xingchen gasp in surprise when he felt someone peck on his cheek and found XueYang bashful face inch from him, giving him a shy smile.

"Ouch....ouch... Ouch" Xue Yang whined painfully as Xingchem hit him with a thick book before running to the kitchen door. Fortunately, Xue Yang grasped Xingchen wrist before said man can burst through the door.

"Where are you going?" xue yang asked, tighten his grip when Xingchen wriggling to release himself

"Where else? Saving Ah Zhan . He needs me" Xingcheng huffed angrily and gushingly.

"Huh? Told ya, Wei Ying was there with him. That man is whipped enough not to see your Lan Zhan suffered" Xue Yang rushingly said, unconsciously spill a longtime secret. It's not Wei Ying open up to him about it, but Xue Yang had his gut. Those lingering stare every time Lan Zhan is nearby and Xue Yang believed that Wei Ying was gifted with Lan Zhan' radar, those secret soft smile and fond gaze towards Lan Zhan' direction when he thought no one notice and always looking for excuse and opportunity to put his hand on Lan Zhan. That sneaky friend of him, might fool everyone else but not him.

"He make me worried the most! .....wait! What did you mean by that?" Xingchen stop struggling, eyeing Xue Yang in curious. Xue Yang who just realized his slip up forcing his mind to brainstorm a perfect cover-up story. Watching Xingchen squint his eyes full of suspicion didn't help his case. Cold sweat formed on his forehead, lips open and closed but no sound out. Panic was written all over his face for a few seconds before it lighten with mischievous smirk, making xingchen eye him warily.

"So you did worry after all" Xue Yang teasing note makes Xingchen eyebrows twitch in irk, thus with great aim, Xingchen kick Xue Yang', calf as hard he can, forcing other man hunched and growl in pain.

"OF COURSE I AM. THOSE TWO i***t ALWAYS ON EACH OTHER THROAT AT EVERY CHANCE THEY STAND 100M FROM EACH OTHER!. THIS ALMOST HALF AN HOUR AND IT SUSPICIOUSLY QUIET WHEN WE SUPPOSED TO HEAR SOUND OF PLATE FLYING WITH COLOURFUL CURSE BY NOW" Xingchen scream mixed of embarrassment and annoying. Embarrassment for being figured out by the man in front him and annoying as his concern over Lan Zhan makes his heart restless. Lan Zhan and Wei Ying were like water and oil, they didn't mix, and it was always chaos every time they stay in the same room. Naturally, Xingchen was concerned with his best friend's safety when the closed kitchen is too damn calm. He was waiting outside kitchen for any s.o.s signal from Ah Zhan but nothing. Forgive him for think wild but with easy access to knife, oil, fire and glass, added with those two rivals record, no one can blame him for being fussy.

Wasting no time, Xingchen lurch to the door, ignoring pained Xue Yang telling him to wait. He must be hurried, Lan Zhan life in danger, the vivid view of his friend lying fragile on the floor with blood and tears calling his name makes Xingchen fasten his stride. However, his rescue mission once again stopped by dumb and dumber who's come from nowhere, rushing to the door and guard it from him with both pants heavily from all the running.

"Geez, what now? Move over" Xingchen glaring hole into Wei Cheng and Wen Ning head, making poor duo naturally step back.

"Ge, you can't enter... Jiang Laoshi already said no one can step into the kitchen to help them" Wei Cheng urgently remind Xingchen, hoping for the elder man to retreat, so his brother can have a steamer moment with his idol. Wei Cheng had dragged Wen Ning to sneak on kitchen for a few domestic pictures of his brother and Lan Zhan but holy s**t, they caught Wei Ying and Lan Zhan eating each other face. It was so hot, sexy, steamer, romantic, and everything.

"Cheng, your nose is bleeding...Wen Ning dear, why your face is so red? Did your caught fever?" Xingchen remarked concernedly, hand lifted to feel Wen Ning forehead temperature. Wen Ning shrugging with a bright crimson face. Xue Yang limply catch up to them, observing two juniors being shy and crimson when he's asking what happened, with camera on Wei Cheng hand, he can guess of what happens. Did his i***t friend finally make a move?

"ehh...where are you going" Xue Yang grab Xingchen' arm while the blushing duo guard the door.

"inside. let. go" Xingchen warned Xue Yang

"yah, do you think that lowly about Wei Ying?" Xue Yang asking with voice masking hurt, making Xingchen heart stabbed with guilty. Xue Yang face soften, and a grin slowly formed on his face " , i bet all my fortune that at the end of this trip there will be another couple aside of us"

Xingchen study Xue Yang' new-found determination with scrutiny gaze.

“How about this? If those two idiots inside that kitchen became a lover, go out with me” Xue Yang beamed with so much certainty while Wei Cheng squealing, jumping at his place telling how cool Xue Yang is as for moment. Wen Ning just stare between them with redder face.

"Wei Ying and Lan Zhan?" Xingchen snickering, " are you kidding me?"

Xue Yang tilt his head with challenging gaze and lopsided smirk, " are you on? Wait, did you even dare to bet on it”

Xingchen harshly pulled his hand, his stern gaze meet Xue Yang challenging eyes, with high confidant he said, "I'm in". Wei Cheng and Wen Ning looks forth and back between two seniors who locked in staring competition, lightning were shooting from their senior's eyes.

Pang!

Loud sounds from the kitchen break the intense air. Xingchen mind went wild with hundreds flashes scene of Lan Zhan being hurt, but once again Xue Yang holding his arm, trying to comfort him that maybe a plate or glass fall into ground, but he can see no one buying it even Xue Yang himself.

Pang! Wei Ying ge!

Another loud sound with a female urge scream. Four of them swallow hard, face pale a bit, and stare at the door.

“you know what? let's just check on them" Xue Yang suggests with low voice. Wei Ying and Lan Zhan might like each other if Xue Yang seeing right, but there is undeniable, those two are expert in annoy each other, and didn't hold up in giving each other s**t day. Wei Cheng and Wen Ning slowly nodded, meanwhile Xingchen run to the door as his mind getting louder. Burst into the kitchen, Xingchen raised his eyebrow with heavy breath , staring at Lan Zhan tears pooled. eyes, kneel on the ground while hugging a pan? And next to him is unconscious Wei Ying and woman from yesterday.

Lan Zhan lips quivering and with a low cracked voice, he's calling for him "Xingchen"
