《A Different Kind Of Love [XianWang]》5

Advertisement

Lan Wangji stared at the face in front of him, ignoring his system alert. In front of him stood a man, a tad bit shorter than him, dressed in a simple long sleeved shirt with black roses as a design and a pair of black pants, a belt around his tiny waist to secure it wouldn't fall off. And he had black and white sneakers to top it off. But the Lyxion didn't care about the clothes. He was only staring at the man's face, never breaking eye contact.

"Um hello?" The person spoke out, his voice sounding higher than the Lyxion thought.

"Creator..?"

The person stared at him with a confused expression as if asking if the worker was crazy like why in the world was he calling him 'creator'. He was about to say something about it when he noticed something about the taller male. His face and hair as well as his body figure looked familiar to him. He then used his powers to scan the man's profile and that was when it hit him.

"No... it can't be..." The person trailed off, flabbergasted by the situation. He only tapped the worker's shoulder to ask him some directions on where The Lotus Pier was as he was a new intern at that company, and he was new to this city, only moving from Shanghai last month and was looking for a job to get some experience. However, he didn't think he would be meeting him.

"Creator..." The reason Lan Wangji was calling him 'creator' was because this specific man was the one who created him. Although he wasn't the one who finished him, he was still the person who started this project and had the first idea of inventing him in the first place.

"No please, don't call me that." The man pinched the area between his eyebrows, closing his eyes for a moment.

Lan Wangji didn't listen and still called him that, "Creator, w-we were sent on a mission to look for you. I-I.. I didn't think I'd find you within a week.."

To say the Lyxion was shocked as an understatement. He was baffled, dazed, mystified, every synonym of the word 'shocked'. He only complained to his brother a few minutes ago about not finding the two royals, but only seconds later he was standing in front of one of the royals they were searching for.

"You need to come with me. We have to go get Gege, then we can split up and search for Prince Lan Jingyi. You're with him, right? You two disappeared together and when the Eurystheusors went into searching, they managed to catch your locations on Earth and you were together! You have to know where Prince Lan Jingyi is! Then we can get him and go back ho-"

"Kailishilaiheaiqi Er"

Lan Wangji immediately shut his mouth up upon hearing the stern tone of the royal.

Lan Sizhui opened his eyes, put his hands in his pockets before looking up to meet the eyes of the Lyxion, "You're rambling."

"My apologies, Creator. I'm just surprised and happy to see you. I've been searching everywhere for the past week I've been on Earth. It's such a miracle to meet you here." The blonde gave him a small smile and a slight bow as an apology for rambling.

The royal let out a soft sigh, "I can't believe I'm seeing you here."

Lan Wangji didn't know how to respond to that, so he just stayed quiet.

"Can we perhaps talk later? I have somewhere to be."

The Lyxion was quick to object, "But Creator, we have to find your brother! I'm sure you know where he is! My gut feeling tells me that! Furthermore, the Queen, your mother, is worried sick about you and Prince Lan Jingyi. She is desperate to get you back home safe and sound! She misses both of her sons a lot and wants you back as soon as possible! She-"

"Kailishilaiheaiqi Er"

The blonde shut his mouth up. He was rambling again.

"I don't want to sound rude, but we can't talk about this right now, especially in public like this. I promise you that we'll talk soon, okay? Just not now." The royal prince gave him a warm smile and the other nodded. He couldn't object him as it was a general rule on their planet to always respect the ones whose status were higher. It didn't matter if they were older or younger than you. As long as your status was higher, you would be respected.

"Thank you," Lan Sizhui added, "Anyway, do you know where The Lotus Pier is? The company?"

"Does Creator not have the ability to search his surroundings?"

Lan Sizhui blinked and let out an awkward chuckle, "Right, I could've just used my powers to locate it. Sorry about that. It's just living on Earth for three solar years without using much of my powers made me kinda forget."

Lan Wangji giggled at his creator's response. Even though he said that to him, he already used his system to search for the location of the company. He made the transparent screen visible, not for the human eye, so the royal could see. The screen turned towards the royal, showing exactly where the building was and the royal gave him a thankful smile.

"Thank you, Kailishilaiheaiqi Er"

"You can call me Wangji, Creator."

The smaller male nodded, "Wangji, where do you currently reside?"

"At Moon Apartment, room number is 502." Lan Wangji answered without thinking of anything else.

"I think I saw that building when I walked here. Well then, I'll meet you there to explain and answer some of your questions. Is 6pm good?"

"It's good."

Lan Sizhui grinned, "Great. I'll be there at 6pm then. It seems you work for this milk tea shop. You fit in with the humans quite nicely."

Lan Wangji smiled.

"I need to go now before I'm late. You should get back to work. There seems to be a lot of customers. I'll see you at 6." The royal gave him another soft smile before bidding bye to him, walking away from the Lyxion.

When he walked off, his smile immediately dropped as he heaved a sigh. The Lyxion's words rang through his mind over and over again. How he said his mother was worried and wanted him as well as his elder brother back home asap. He had a hard time believing his mother would ever be worried about him.

"Since when did she care?" He mumbled to himself, clicking his tongue in annoyance. She was the reason he and his brother escaped from their hometown to another planet. They didn't just randomly vanish and went missing. No one would dare to capture him nor his brother. They were basically the second strongest on their planet. Their powers were unmatched and only their mother, the Queen, could beat them if they were in a battle. Anyone who dared to lay their hands on them would be dead in a second.

Lan Wangji was still in a daze as he watched the body getting smaller and smaller as the figure continued strolling away from him. He was only brought out when he heard his name being called by one of his co-workers.

"Wangji, can you not stare into the distance and come help me clean some of the tables real quick?" It was Xiao Xingchen who raised his voice at him and the other instantly apologized before going up to lend a hand.

As he cleaned the table, three things were on his mind.

One was that he needed to tell Lan Xichen quickly about what happened.

Another was that he couldn't wait to speak with the person who created him and let him explain what happened during the three years he was gone.

The last was, why the hell was he cleaning a table with a wooden tray?

*・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*

"Guys, the shop just said they can't do deliveries for today. There are too many customers." A female employee stated, making all the other employees in the office whined.

"Are you serious?" This time, a male employee spoke as he shook his head. He was looking forward to be drinking his favorite strawberry milk tea.

"That means one of us is gotta go get the drinks. I want my milk tea." Another one exclaimed, crossing her arms with a slight frown.

Wei Wuxian had just came back from showing the new intern around and letting him settle down at his new desk at the Research Department. When he stepped into the office, he was met with a saddening atmosphere. He found it quite weird as this office where his desk was, the employees were always cheerful even if they were doing work all day. So seeing them all down was strange and saddening to him.

"Is something wrong?"

Everyone turned his head towards him and slightly bowed out of respect.

"It's just that the milk tea we ordered can't be delivered as there are too many customers." One of his co-workers answered and that made the Wei let out a chuckle.

"Really? That?" He only laughed again.

Some were blushing in embarrassment the further they thought about it while some were flustered at his beautiful his laugh was.

"Secretary Wei, don't laugh! Your milk tea order is in there too!"

Wei Wuxian looked over to the man who just said that and smiled, "It's near our lunch break already. I guess I can go there and get our drinks."

The employees blinked at him.

"You will?" A girl smiled in delight.

The secretary nodded with a smile and the employees cheered.

"Secretary Wei is the best!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

He shook his head at their enthusiasm, "What's the name of this milk tea shop again? Oh and what name did you put the order under?"

"Big Bubble Milk Tea. It's a popular one and it's near the beach. I put my name under the order."

Wei Wuxian instantly froze upon hearing the name. Big Bubble Milk Tea? Wasn't that the milk tea shop he went yesterday? The one where Lan Wangji worked at. Did that mean he would see him again? That thought suddenly made the Wei all jumpy and smiley. He was excited to meet him.

"I think I know where that is. Did you guys pay for the drinks already, or were you waiting for pay when the delivery came?"

Wen Qing, the person who put in the order, came up, "We were waiting to pay when the delivery came, but since it's not coming, we can send you the money now." She was about to take out her phone and the other employees followed her when the Wei put his hand up to stop them.

"No need. You all have been doing well these past few months. No mistakes whatsoever, so the drinks are on me today."

The employees all cheered again, thanking him over and over. The secretary grinned at how those joyful people were and he hoped they could keep that smile.

The Wei then left the office, going down the elevator to get his car before driving off into the distance. He could see the shop coming into his sight. Quickly finding a parking shop, he then got out of his car and walked up to the shop. The last time he came, which was yesterday, he didn't take a good look at the shop and now that he did, he admitted it was cute. The contrast between the white and the baby blue looked adorable. Even the logo of the shop were those colors and it had a white bunny on it with little bubbles.

As he was going up to the shop, his eyes were quick to see someone with blonde hair, putting down a glass of bubble tea down on the table, serving it over to a customer who thanked him.

Wei Wuxian blinked, stopping in his tracks as he stared at him.

The man wore a simple long sleeved buttoned down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He had a pair of black comfortable pants and white Nike sneakers. A baby blue apron with the shop's name was worn over the outfit, but it didn't look bad at all. It somehow made him cuter. His gorgeous light blonde hair was blowing back slightly as the wind kissed his face while the sun shined directly onto him, making him look like an angel. He was just missing the wings.

He noticed the other starting to stand upright and he turned around. Wei Wuxian softly gasped as their eyes met, the younger's dark brown eyes turning into a lighter shade of brown as the sun hit him. He saw the corner of the younger's beautiful pink lips curled up into a soft smile, approaching in his direction.

The raven-haired continued to stare at him, not noticing how the younger got closer and closer the further he walked up to him.

The two were now standing in front of each other, eyes still making contact as one of them looked at the other with a warm smile. It looked clear now that Wei Wuxian appeared taller than the man and it made his ears redden.

"Wei Gege, it's so nice to see you again!" Lan Wangji joyful exclaimed, staring at the other with his adorable gummy smile.

Wei Wuxian's lips ended up smiling without his permission, "Likewise."

The Lyxion scrunched his nose and only one word could be heard in the secretary's mind, Cute.

"Why are you here anyway? Aren't you suppose to be at work?"

"It's my lunch break and I came to pick up the milk tea that was ordered."

Lan Wangji's mouth turned into an 'o' shaped, "You have to be more specific. We got a lot of orders online."

Wei Wuxian received a chuckle from the younger and it made him smile, "It's under the name Wen Qing."

"Wen Qing?" Lan Wangji started to think for a second, "You didn't put your name?"

"I wasn't the one who ordered, but my drink's in there. Wen Qing is my co-worker. I came to pick up the drinks."

"Ahhh," The younger nodded, "I have to say, she ordered a lot of drinks. 20 cups to be exact."

Wei Wuxian grinned, "Yeah, our office has 20 employees, including me. Everyone was craving milk tea today for some reason."

Lan Wangji chuckled at that, "I can't blame them. Milk tea is a great drink. I would drink it everyday if I could."

"It's a famous drink. I love it, too."

The two just stared at each other with a smile before the younger said, "Come with me. I'll get you the drinks."

Wei Wuxian nodded and he followed the younger who got into the shop and over to the counter. The Wei's eyes trailed over to the interior and he was impressed. It looked better than the outside and not to mention the temperature was just right.

"Gege, where's the order under the name Wen Qing?"

Lan Xichen looked over to his brother and noticed a presence behind him. He gave Wei Wuxian a smile as a greeting and the other did the same before the worker went to get four paper bags out. The bags were pretty big and they all had the logo and the name of the shop at the front.

"So you were the one who ordered 20 drinks?" Lan Xichen raised his eyebrows at the man who just chuckled.

Wei Wuxian shrugged and took out his phone, "Can I use Alipay to pay?"

"Sure thing."

After paying, Wei Wuxian put his phone away and grabbed the four bags.

"Since you ordered so many, the delivery was supposed to be free, but since there's no delivery, we gave you a discount on the drinks." Lan Wangji spoke out, looking over to the taller male. His brother had already went away to help make more drinks.

"Thanks" Wei Wuxian smiled at him.

The Lyxion looked over to the four bags and offered a hand. At first, the older refused, but ended up giving in and handed over two bags.

Both of them then went over to the older's car and put the bags in. Wei Wuxian thanked him again and was about to get in when the younger called out.

"Wei Gege?"

The raven-haired looked at him, "Yeah?"

"You work for The Lotus Pier, correct?"

The older nodded, wondering where this conversation was going.

"Do you, perhaps, know someone named Lan Sizhui?"

Wei Wuxian nodded once more, "Yes, I do. He's a new intern at the company. You know him?"

"He's a friend of mine. How is he doing?"

"He's doing well. Better than most interns we've had in the past. By far, the best intern we've had. I have a feeling he'll be a new employee in less than two weeks if he keeps on doing great."

The blonde-haired smiled at that. His creator was great. Even though he knew not much about him, he still figured out that the prince was great. The Queen of his planet planted many information about her sons into his and Lan Xichen's system and from those information, he could see the achievements the two princes and how well respected they were on their home planet.

"Would you mind doing me a favor?" Lan Wangji nervously asked.

Wei Wuxian could feel the change of attitude of the younger, but didn't think too much of it, "Of course."

"Can you look after him for me? Like, just make sure he does alright?"

The older couldn't reject him. Not when he was looking at him with his big doe eyes. They were too adorable and anyone would be dumb not to fall for that.

"That won't be a problem. I will."

That made Lan Wangji smiled. Without thinking, he launched himself onto the older, wrapping his arms around the man's neck, hugging him tightly.

Wei Wuxian gasped aloud, taken aback by the hug. He stayed frozen for a split second, trying to process what was happening. He could feel his heart thinking loudly and his stomach giddy. A pink tint spread over his cheeks. He wasn't a hug type of person. He would try to avoid hugs as much as he could, but somehow, Lan Wangji's embrace just felt so warm and so... right. He felt at ease in the man's arms.

His arms made their way around the younger's body as they wrapped around his tiny waist. A smile took shape on his lips as he embraced the other back. It felt comforting.

"Thank you, Wei Gege!" Lan Wangji excitedly commented, staying in this position for several minutes before pulling away, and Wei Wuxian whining internally at the lost of contact.

"I better get back to work. See you later, Wei Gege!" Lan Wangji widely grinned before running away.

Wei Wuxian stared at the younger's back as he went off. He crossed his arms, leaning his back against the car door with a small smile. He shook his head, trying to ignore his jumping heart and went inside the driver's seat. He turned on the engine, took one last glance at the other who was now talking with Lan Xichen, the same cute smile still plastered on. The secretary shook his head, chuckling to himself and drove off.

Lan Wangji turned to look at the car as it drove off, the person in disappearing. His smile got wider. He had only known the human for two days, yet he felt attracted to him. In what way exactly? He didn't know. He was just a Lyxion, half his body was robotic. He also didn't understand much about humans and how they behave anyway as their planet hadn't done much digging into the Earth and the species. But something about Wei Wuxian just made him want to know the guy more. He hoped to interact with him more often.
