With WonPil and TiShan's matter, he puts aside the other big problem he got himself into. To think he only wanted to be kind.
Finally, after hours wandering for a reason or another, he returns home, takes a shower and lies on his bed. He holds in hand his phone, staring at her contact. "Should I write her or not..." He thinks outloud, but with a low voice. Everyone else is sleeping and he definitely wouldn't go to gossip with anyone about what happened, to avoid the risk more rumors are spread.
Eventually he decides to write her. He fails a few attempts before to finally send something, everything sounding too unfitting.
L. | Are you sleeping? |
He looks up at the ceiling, putting the phone down on the blanket. He lies down completely, but doesn't manage to close eye, regardless he is sure she won't answer.
L. | I'm sorry about what happened, let's talk in person one of these days. You tell me when... |
He still has a spark of hope she is not answering only because she is asleep.

The morning after, even if he wakes up late, still nothing. He gets up, following his usual morning routine.
He doesn't dress up and after breakfast, he lies on the couch. It is not very like him to just laze in his free days, unlike Qi, but he has no will to go out and meet people. He is still waiting for an answer.
L. | Rin? |
L. | Can we really meet for a few minutes so that I can explain? |
L. | Give me an answer, please...I feel like I'm dying inside. |

YunFei with Rin's phone that she forgot at home, spying on it without any regret. | No, we can't meet. Stop writing her, whoever you are! | The only luck is that she hadn't his contact saved so there is no picture nor name. XD
Y. | What did you do to her? When?! |
The old man also sends a very angry vocal. After hearing just the scream at the beginning, LanJi interrupts it and closes the phone inside a closet. He hears his phone ringing a few more times for more texts, then a phonecall but he simply doesn't dare and runs away. XD
WuXin casually walks by and hears the phone continuing to ring. He finds it in the little closet near the couch and answers. "Hallo?" He doesn't make it in time to answer that someone from the other side screams against him too. "How dare you? Don't call this number ever again or I will find who is pestering my child!" And at least he shuts the other side up. XD
WuXin goes to LanJi's room with the phone. "Take this, they won't pester you again. Who are they, even? Someone from Earth got the wrong number?"
LanJi is hesitant at the arrival of WuXin but his words reassure him right away. "I have no clue, really..." He is by the desk and takes the phone back.
WuXin leans against the desk. "You returned late yesterday. The mission was difficult?"
"No, no...we fixed the problem. It was just a fragment thankfully." LanJi stretches a little and WuXin places his hand on his back.
"How is your back? You are not overworking yourself, right?"
"I try not to, xiexie..." LanJi looks overall very down.
"If you need anything, I am here, we all are." WuXin gives him a warm hug before having to leave. "Have a good day, see you later, sweetheart."
"Bye bye..." LanJi says, somehow feeling worse at all the nice words. He feels the need to tell someone but starts to imagine...

Mental films once all alone in his bedroom. "So...this happened and I don't know what to do, I am so scared...what if I hurt her, what if I traumatized her, what if...I put her pregnant too? She is so much younger than me too. I am a horrible person..."

What if I told Qi?
Qi looks at him with his smug and I-m-better-than-anyone glare while listening coldly. "First of all." He kicks LanJi right between his legs. "Secondly, now you are going to take responsability and marry her!"
LanJi, crawling on the floor in pain after the kick, says. "What if she hates me so much she doesn't want to see my face ever again?"
"Then DIE, bastard!"

LanJi jumps a little at his own mental film. "No, no...not him."

What if I told WuXin?
"Are you saying I might have a grandchild soon? LanJi, really? It is an amazing news, I will become a grandfather! I and your father won't need to have yet another child!"
"But dad...what do I do if she is feeling bad because of me?" LanJi looks at him, blinking.
"Oh, that...well. You have to face things and explain her the rose caused it. And whatever she says, she wanted it too or the rose wouldn't have allowed it. It is not like Qian would cause rapes!"

"He will tell everyone in the universe before we have any confirmation my worries are true..." LanJi says thoughtfully.

What if I told Lani?
"Did I raise you to be that kind of man, LanJi?! Were you the top, at least?! I can't live with my children all being bottoms!" Lani raises his tone.
"I...I obviously was, I mean...how can you do it with a girl without being the top..." LanJi wonders.
"It is not the point!"
"You asked!"
"Hurry and go to get your death sentence from Deidara."

"Maybe I am making them all too deadly..."

What if I told TiShan?
He imagines him ROFLing at the news of him ending up in such a difficult situation. "Why is it always you?"
LanJi maintains an assface at it.

"Ugh...let's not think about this anymore..."

What if I told ShiSui?
"You have to do the right thing and get neutered once and for all, so you won't cause anymore troubles like this one and you will have a better future. You will finally find peace."
LanJi blinks at those words. "Xiexie for your advice...I will think about getting rid of my whole manhood for sure." He says sarcastically.

"Nonononononononono! Not ShiSui! Nor uncle MinHo! He would suggest the same thing." LanJi is particularly shaken by this one.

What if I told Deidara?
LanJi getting choked to death, pinned against the ground.

"Still less scary than ShiSui..."

What if I told Min?
Another ROFLer. "Oh LanJi! Are you even worrying? What you do in the House of Peacock, stays in the House of Peacock! I have to tell BangSul, it is too funny! Come on, it is probably the safest shelter for adventures of that kind, what are you even thinking? It is not like you did it in the House of Rabbit!"
Assface from LanJi while she keeps laughing.

LanJi shakes his head frantically. "Why do I have such relatives!!" XD

"I need to go out." He takes a deep breath and starts to get dressed. He looks at himself at the mirror, literally like a beaten dog. "Come on, put yourself together..."
He walks out of the room and takes a few necessary items he left everywhere, like wallet and his sword. It is black, with a grey scorpion decoration and a pink butterfly. The two figures sometimes move to different places and positions.
His doggy runs to him when near the door and wags its tail, thinking they are going out together. "Not today, buddy..." He kneels to pet him and Gabrel keeps jumping up and pointing its leash.
Eventually LanJi gets convinced and puts the leash on.
They head out and take the portal for Shiirhuang, where they start to wander, LanJi picking less crowded places.

LanJi POV.

LanJi is heading back home after a long day of work. There was an investigation on a new artefact fragment in the South, he leaded the mission and thankfully they succeded to destroy it. Tired but satisfied.
When he enters the House of Peacock, he notices someone. To his surprise, a new bronze knight he is particularly glad to see. "Ni Hao!" He makes a slight smile. "You must have earned your first cloth to be here, congratulations!" Between WonPil, SangPil and WuXin's families there is always a very close relationship, he knows her story and cannot help but see some similarity with his own. It makes her someone he would want to protect if there was ever the need.
"S..shi, xiexie..." She bows slightly and shyly looks at him.
"Are you liking it here? No one guided you?" LanJi takes a look around, wondering if there is someone with her.
She shakes her head. "I came with Deidara. I got my cloth but...this is not the first visit. I had already the official one."
"Good...it is getting late, are you staying here for the night?"
"No, I don't think. I was waiting for Deidara..."
"He is taking long? Do you want me to keep you company?" He just wants to be kind with her.
"W..would you? I don't want to bore you..."
"Who's bored." LanJi shrugs, taking a seat on a nearby couch and stretching.
She goes to sit near him, he notices she is hesitant though. "Xiexie..."
"How have you been? Did you eat?" Like a caring big brother, but suddenly he starts to feel different. He notices a smell and frowns a little, confused at first, but then he starts to recognize a familiar feeling in himself, that he can't fight.
"I didn't eat...I thought we would eat at home but I don't know anymore..."
"The kitchen is upstairs if you are hungry. You can grab a snack." He points up with his finger while staring at her.
She checks her phone, he doesn't even blink his eyes. "Probably he is with SangPil in the House of Snake..." She says, looking thoughtful then stands up. "I will go to take a snack."
He follows her closely without hesitation. He speeds up when she speeds up.
He lets her do at the beginning, cutting fruit and pouring milk, but as soon as he has the chance, he grabs her, pinning her against the counter. He moves one hand behind her back and the other on her hip, now pulling her the closest possible against himself. He ignores the mess he just made, milk and plumberry falling on the ground.
He presses his lips against hers for some time, she just won't move though.
He 'forces' her on the ground then kneels and takes off his shirt. He pulls down her pants and proceeds, not being rough at all.
When he is done, he rolls to the side, panting and leaning his arm against his eyes. It takes him some time to get back to himself but when she stands up and rushes away very fast, he definitely snap out. He jumps up, wearing back his shirt.
He checks downstairs, then outside but she is nowhere already. There he starts having all sort of complex and worry on the whole matter.

LanJi is slowly walking downstairs in Shiinden without an actual purpose apparently. He looks pretty messed and stunned overall, his sleeve has a hole up near his shoulder.

After the argument, WuXin forced him to go straight home with him. He was explained later the reason of it and even he got angry, especially because WuXin doesn't want him to meet TiShan.
He makes a few attempts of course, but WuXin knows when he lies and simply won't let him. Qi a bit the same but LanJi is definitely the most insisting.

He has just finished to work at school, it is early afternoon. He stops in the village for a little walk, he casually notices the Gallagher manor. He decides to approach when he sees a little fallen bag near it.
He picks it up and checks, freezing to see there is a small quantity of opium inside. He doesn't connect it to the family, he just starts having strange thoughts.

He is eagerly waiting for WonPil and TiShan to wake up. He warned WuXin and LaNi, Qi too and also TiHao but it is night.
Qi panics and proposes to go but LanJi tells him to stay a little longer away, till they are completely sure.
He remains up for long, till he can but eventually falls asleep while sat on a couch.
