Lan Wangji kneels, in front of him was the redhead who looks down at him with a glare.
He did his best not to tremble and appear weak in front of the older. He truly did, yet Cale could read him like an open book the same way his older brother would.
"Repeat my words and engrave it to your heart just like how you follow your Sects' rules." Cale says with a low voice, making Lan Wangji frown but doesn't bother to refute it.
"...Yes." The younger says without a choice.
"Do not have dirty thoughts about Wei Ying."
Lan Wangji looks incredulously at the redhead, before immediately lowering his head when he meets the sharp gaze.
"...Will not have dirty thoughts about Wei Ying."
"Do not harass Wei Ying like what you did earlier."
"...Will never harass Wei Ying again."
At this point, Cale is enjoying himself while watching the younger look down like an obedient dog.
"You will always respect my brother."
Lan Wangji furrows his eyebrows, but he spoke nonetheless.
"I will always respect Wei Ying."
"Always stand by his side unconditionally."
Lan Wangji visibly frowns, wondering why the redhead is talking like he's about to die.
"Will stand by Wei Ying's side, together with Huan-ge." He says with a firm voice and looked courageously against those reddish-brown eyes.
Cale only gives him a blank look before scoffing, yet he didn't say anything about it for a long while.
"Lan Wangji." The redhead calls after a while, sitting down beside the kneeling younger before sighing.
"What my brother need is a verbal confirmation. Try speaking up, then he'll finally notice you."
Lan Wangji looks down again.
"I don't know how."
Cale huffs, though he didn't ridicule him about such thing.
"Just be yourself. You are his fuddy-duddy after all."
As Cale reaches out to pat him in the head, the direction of his hand moved instantly and Lan Wangji was pushed away.
It all happened in an instant.
A silver shield cracked, and the redhead in front of the younger as if he was protecting him.
Lan Wangji immediately got himself together and killed the thing that suddenly appeared, looking at the other in worry after doing so.
Cale looks down at his stomach, clutching the torn clothes as he gasps in shock.
"Huan-ge!" Lan Wangji worriedly calls, surprised at the expression the redhead is wearing.
This will already be the second time he sees Cale so shaken up like this.
The both of them watched how fast the remains of the monster disappeared without a trace.
"Those things...you recognize them." Lan Wangji realized.
"Run...let's run away and regroup." Cale says after composing himself.
Lan Wangji knew best that he should follow a commander's words. And so, he did.
"You're injured, I'll carry you."
Though the wound that was inflicted on the redhead was already healed thanks to the crybaby.
