The shop owner escorted the two to the door of the room on the second floor. Just as Wei Wuxian was about to push the door open, he remembered something and said, “Boss, we are tired from the journey so we won’t eat downstairs.” Wei Wuxian ordered a few home-cooked dishes: “Let’s rest for a while. Please bring them up when they are ready.”

The boss is also a kind-hearted person. No one has come to the store for such a long time, so naturally he just goes by whatever the customer says.

After taking the money, the boss turned around and went downstairs to work.

Wei Wuxian held Chen Qing in one hand and put the other hand behind his back. He first walked around the corridor on the second floor. There was really no one else there except them.

Then he turned around to look at Lan Zhan who was still waiting for him at the door and said, "You take a rest first. I'll just take a look."

Hearing this, Lan Zhan did not move and kept looking in his direction.

Wei WuXian knocked and looked around the entire second floor, but after a long while he still couldn't figure out what was going on, so he returned.

Seeing that he was still waiting for him, Wei WuXian couldn't help but shook his head, thinking: Lan Zhan is...

Wei WuXian walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, “Go in.”

The furnishings in the room were very plain and simple. Wei Wuxian took off his heavy outer robe and threw it on the screen without even looking at it.

Then he walked to the bed and threw himself onto it in a big arms and legs position, all in one smooth motion.

"Comfortable~" The mattress beneath him was very soft and comfortable. Wei Wuxian rubbed it and sighed with satisfaction.

Suddenly, he realized something and sat up. Looking at Lan Zhan who was standing motionless not far away, he closed and retracted his legs that took up most of the bed.

Lan Zhan retracted his gaze and said, "Nothing, you can take a rest."

“Okay then.” Wei Wuxian had just laid down for less than two seconds when the outer robe hanging on the screen slid down to the ground in a very uncouth manner.

Just as he was about to get up from the bed to pick it up, Lan Zhan had already picked it up for him and hung it back up.

“Thank you.” After saying that, Wei Wuxian lay back down again, staring at the ceiling and starting to daydream, emptying his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally came to his senses. It was very quiet around him and he could not hear Ding Wei's voice. He turned his head slightly and saw Lan Zhan sitting on the mat with his eyes closed.

Standard sitting posture, with back straight and headband neatly tied on forehead.

Wei Wuxian supported his head with one hand and looked at him for a while. He had to admit that he would never get tired of looking at Lan Zhan’s face even if he did so for the rest of his life.

As I was thinking this in my mind, I glanced upwards and suddenly met his gaze. This feeling was very similar to the springtime love in childhood, and my heart was throbbing for a moment.

After a simple eye contact, Wei Wuxian actually felt embarrassed for the first time in a long time.

When did Lan Zhan open his eyes? ! ! How come he didn't notice?

While Wei WuXian was still wondering about this, there was a knock on the door.

Lan Zhan stood up and opened the door.

A waiter came in. He should be the waiter who was bored to death when they first entered the store. He placed the food in his hands on the table one by one and said enthusiastically: "The boss said to give you two a pot of wine. I'll bring it to you right away. How can you eat without drinking!"

Lan Zhan said: "Thank you."

“We have wine!” Wei WuXian stood up from the bed and strode to the table. He took the first step, opened the bottle of wine, smelled it, and exclaimed: “Good wine!!”

When Wei Wuxian ordered the dishes, he either thought about ordering wine or felt that if he ordered wine, it would be difficult if Lan Zhan also wanted to drink.

The waiter said, "You two are the first guests to stay at our hotel recently."

Wei WuXian put down the wine flask in his hand and said, “We heard from the boss about what happened nearby. You dare to do it here, aren’t you afraid?”

The waiter said, "I feel OK. I don't stay here at night so I don't feel anything. In fact, it's just like any other daytime here. When these things first happened, except for no one staying at our store at night, there were still customers coming to eat during the day. But then someone spread the rumor that there was a curse or ghost here, and everyone felt it was unlucky, and then no one came to eat during the day."

Wei WuXian asked, “Have you ever heard any crying or shouting?”

The guy said, "I've heard it. It's a mess. There are voices of men, women, old people, and children. It's very creepy. And the voices are sometimes far away and sometimes near. You feel like they are crying outside, and sometimes they feel like they are crying at the head of your bed. You are obviously the only one in the room, but you feel like there are many people around you. It feels so lively."

Wei WuXian asked, “Is it so weird?”

The waiter nodded and said, "You two look like the sons of good families. I would like to kindly remind you that it is best to go to bed early at night. If you are very deep in sleep, it is better not to hear anything. But if you do hear anything, you don't have to be too scared. No one has died from this incident here."

Wei WuXian cupped his hands and said, “Thanks for the reminder.”

The guy said, "It's okay, it's okay. Just be careful when you go out. You two take your time. I'll be leaving now."

The guy closed the door for them when he left. Wei Wuxian poured himself a full cup and drank it all in one gulp: "So refreshing!"

Then he poured himself another glass. Wei Wuxian shook the glass in his hand and asked, "Lan Zhan, what do you think about this?"

Lan Zhan said: "Night exploration."

“I thought so too.” Wei Wuxian finished the cup in his hand.

Little Lan Zhan had never drunk alcohol, so naturally he had no idea what alcohol tasted like.

Watching him drink one cup after another, he couldn't help but say, "Drink slowly, and don't drink all the time."

Wei Wuxian nodded, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed his mouth full, then swallowed it down with the wine.

Seeing him drinking so happily, Lan Zhan's heart moved slightly: "Wei Ying." After saying that, his eyes stared straight at the pot of wine, meaning don't be too obvious.

Wei WuXian looked at him, then at the wine in his hand, and held the wine pot in his arms like he was protecting his food: “It’s written in your family rules that you can’t drink alcohol, Lan Zhan, you can’t drink this.”

Lan Zhan said: "This is not the Cloud Recesses."

Wei WuXian said: “Even if you are not in the Cloud Recesses, you must not forget the family rules.”

Wei Wuxian himself had never imagined that one day he would ask Lan Zhan to abide by the family rules. This feeling was too wonderful.

Seeing that he refused to give it to him, Lan Zhan stood up. Wei Wuxian thought he was going to force it, so he held the thing in his hand tighter: "What are you going to do?!"

Lan Zhan said calmly: "Go find the boss and buy some wine."

“…” Wei WuXian was silent for a moment, and just as he was about to step out of the room, he called out to him, “I told you to drink, so don’t buy it, and save some money.”
