Emotion prompts; 12) “Holy shit, is that a tattoo?” For Xicheng bonus if Xichen is the one with the tattoo but I don’t mind which one 🤓♥️
So, this is a little bit of a twist on the prompt, but I think you’ll like it! It was fun to write
It was a normal day for Jiang Cheng as he was waiting outside the school for children’s parents to come and get their child. Most parents came on time, like right after school, to come and get their kids, but there were always a few parents that had to work late, so Jiang Cheng stayed with the children until a certain time when he then would have to take them over to the after school care program. Today, most parents came to get their child right after school, save for one parent, Lan Xichen, Lan Jingyi’s father, which surprised Jiang Cheng, because Lan Xichen was always on time or early to pick Lan Jingyi up.
‘Maybe he’s working late today’ Jiang Cheng thought to himself, just as a black escalade pulled up to the “Waiting Shed” as all of the children called it. Jiang Cheng frowned as he looked at the car before he looked down at Lan Jingyi.
“Jingyi, do you know this car?” he asked. Lan Jingyi looked at the car and smiled.
“That’s Uncle Wangji’s car” he replied. Jiang Cheng frowned as he looked at the car.
‘Since when did Lan Wangji drive an Escalade?’ he wondered, just as the passenger side door opened and Wei Wuxian stepped out, a look on his face.
“Wei Wuxian? What are you doing here?” Jiang Cheng asked, frowning. Wei Wuxian shook his head.
“No time to explain. Get in the car. Both of you” he ordered. Jiang Cheng frowned again but by the look on his older brother’s face, he thought it best not to argue with him, so he just took Lan Jingyi’s hand and led him over to the Escalade and opened the back door for him, letting him hop in first before he slid in after him. Wei Wuxian then got back in the car before turning to look at Jiang Cheng.
“How good are you at shooting a gun?” he asked. Jiang Cheng looked at him in shock.
“Excuse me?!” he exclaimed. Wei Wuxian fixed him with a look.
“A-Cheng, this is important. Can you shoot a gun or not?” he demanded. Jiang Cheng was quiet before he nodded.
“I can shoot. Not as good as Shijie, but I have a decent shot” he replied. Wei Wuxian nodded before he handed him a gun, which he took cautiously.
“Want to at least tell me what’s going on?” he asked as Lan Wangji pulled away from the Waiting Shed and began to drive out of the elementary school’s parking lot.
“Uncle Wuxian, where’s my dad?” Lan Jingyi asked.
“Kidnapped” Lan Wangji answered bluntly. Lan Jingyi’s eyes widened in shock while Jiang Cheng looked at Wei Wuxian in confusion.
“The hell do you mean he’s been kidnapped?” he snapped. Wei Wuxian sighed and glanced back at him.
“Do you know what we do for a living?” he asked. Jiang Cheng gave him a look.
“You’re mobsters; I don’t want to know what you do for a living” he replied. Wei Wuxian chuckled.
“Good answer” he agreed before he sighed heavily.
“Lan Xichen’s head of the Gusu Lans, one of the largest mafia in China. Apparently, he got into a traffic accident on the way to pick up Jingyi and some guys nabbed him. Hence, he’s been kidnapped” he explained.
“Is my dad okay?” Lan Jingyi asked, tears in his eyes. Wei Wuxian looked over at his nephew and smiled slightly.
“From what I’ve heard, he’s okay” he replied. Lan Jingyi sniffled before he began to cry, making Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian look at one another before Jiang Cheng reached over and pulled Lan Jingyi against him, rubbing his back soothingly. Lan Jingyi cried against Jiang Cheng for a while before he finally settled down and fell asleep. Once he was asleep, Jiang Cheng tapped Wei Wuxian’s shoulder, making him glance back.
“Why, exactly, do I need a gun?” Jiang Cheng asked. Wei Wuxian chuckled.
“Just in case” he replied. Jiang Cheng hummed as he continued to rub Lan Jingyi’s back while Lan Wangji continued to drive to wherever the hell Lan Xichen was being held.
When they arrived at their destination, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji got out first before Wei Wuxian poked his head back into the car.
“A-Cheng, stay here with Jingyi. The bastards might try and attack the car and if anything happens to Jingyi, Lan Xichen will have all our heads, so watch him” he instructed. Jiang Cheng nodded as did Lan Jingyi, who had woken up from his little crying-induced nap. Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian then ran off, Lan Jingyi clinging to Jiang Cheng as Jiang Cheng watched his brother and brother in law run off to save Lan Xichen. He didn’t hear anything for a while until there was suddenly a knock on the window. Jiang Cheng jumped before he looked over to see a man in a suit and sunglasses standing before his window with a gun.
“Get out of the car” the man growled. Jiang Cheng huffed before he unlocked the car and opened it, silently cursing Lan Wangji that he didn’t lock the car because if he had locked it and Jiang Cheng had opened the door, the alarm would have gone off. But, since he didn’t lock the door, the alarm didn’t go off.
‘Looks like we’re going to have to do this the old fashioned way’ he thought to himself as he looked down at Lan Jingyi.
“Stay here. I’ll be right back” he assured. Lan Jingyi nodded and let go of Jiang Cheng, allowing him to step out of the car and get the barrel of a gun pointed in his face.
“The kid comes out too” the man in the suit ordered. Jiang Cheng shook his head.
“I don’t think so” he replied. The man in the suit pointed the gun in his face.
“Get him out” he ordered. Jiang Cheng snarled before he suddenly reached up and effortlessly wrenched the gun out of the man’s hand, pointing it back at the man.
“I don’t particularly appreciate having a gun shoved in my face” he snarled before he cocked the gun and pulled the trigger, hitting the man between the eyes. He watched the man crumple to the ground as the car door opened and Lan Jingyi poked his head out.
“Mr. Jiang? Is everything okay?” he asked. Jiang Cheng looked back at him and smiled.
“Everything fine, Jingyi. I’m going to go look for my brother and your uncle, okay? Stay here” he instructed. Lan Jingyi nodded and slipped his head back inside the car, shutting the door. Jiang Cheng then walked around to the driver’s side and opened the door, pressing the “lock all doors” button before he grabbed the keys that were still in the ignition and slammed the door shut. He then ran away from the car, hoping that Lan Jingyi would be okay.
Jiang Cheng then ran into the abandoned warehouse that was on the property and looked around, trying to find where Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian had gone when he found them collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
“Oh shit” he whispered before he rushed over to them, checking their pulse to make sure the that they were still alive and thankfully, they were. He then looked around to see where the fuck Lan Xichen was when he found him, with his hands bound together and hanging from a chain, cuts and bruises covering his entire body.
“Mr. Lan!” Jiang Cheng exclaimed, running over to him. As he neared him and walked around him, trying to figure out how to get him down, he paused when he saw his back.
“Holy shit…is that a tattoo?” he whispered as he stared at what looked like a large tattoo of what he thought was the Gusu Lan crest on his back, which made his mouth drop open in shock.
‘Lan Xichen never seemed like the type to get tattoos’ he thought to himself before he shook himself out of it and continued to search for the device that lowered the chain when he heard a gun click echo throughout the warehouse. He froze and looked up, eyes widening in horror when he saw a man dressed in black holding a gun to a crying Lan Jingyi’s head.
“Mr. Jiang” Lan Jingyi sobbed. The man in black smirked as he pressed the gun against Lan Jingyi’s head.
“Take one step and I’ll blow his brains out” he threatened. Jiang Cheng growled.
“He’s just a boy” he argued. The man in black chuckled.
“And you’re just a schoolteacher and yet…you’re not” he replied. Jiang Cheng huffed.
“I left that life a long time ago” he argued. The man in black chuckled again.
“But it seems that that life didn’t leave you” he replied. Jiang Cheng growled and clutched the gun in his hand tighter as the man in black smiled.
“So, what you’re going to do is drop the gun and kick it over to me. And then you’re going to get on your knees” he instructed.
“And what if I don’t?” Jiang Cheng challenged. The man in black smiled as he pressed the gun harder against Lan Jingyi’s head, making the boy cry out.
“I’ll blow his brains out” he replied. Jiang Cheng growled but did as he was told and placed the gun on the ground before kicking it over to the man. He then got down on his knees, growling at the smile on the man in black’s face.
“Excellent. Now you get a front row seat to watching me kill this child” he declared. Jiang Cheng’s eyes widened.
“No!” he shouted but before the man in black could do anything, a bullet hole suddenly appeared before his eyes and he fell back, dead.
“Jingyi!” Jiang Cheng exclaimed, pushing himself to his feet before rushing over to the young boy, bundling him into his arms. Lan Jingyi buried his face in Jiang Cheng’s shoulder as Jiang Cheng held him tightly, looking around to see where that gunshot came from.
“A-Cheng” a soft voice called out, making Jiang Cheng’s eyes widen before he looked over his shoulder to see his older sister, Jiang Yanli and her husband, Jin Zixuan standing there.
“A-Jie” he breathed. Jiang Yanli smiled fondly at him before she looked over to see Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji unconscious on the ground.
“A-Xian!” she exclaimed, running over to them, Jin Zixuan following. While they were fussing over them, Jiang Cheng looked down at Lan Jingyi.
“Didn’t I tell you to stay in the car?” he scolded. Lan Jingyi sniffled as he pulled away from Jiang Cheng’s embrace, looking him in the eyes.
“I did stay in the car! They broke my window and opened the door!” he exclaimed. Jiang Cheng was quiet before he pulled Lan Jingyi into another hug.
“I’m sorry I yelled. I was just worried” he apologized. Lan Jingyi shook his head and buried his face in Jiang Cheng’s shoulder again as Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli walked over to them.
“We’ll take A-Xian and Hanguang-Jun home. Can you manage Zewu-Jun?” Jiang Yanli asked. Jiang Cheng looked over at her and nodded.
“I’ll take care of it” he assured. Jiang Yanli smiled before she and Jin Zixuan walked back to Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, helping both men to their feet before guiding them out of the warehouse. Once they were gone, Jiang Cheng looked down at Lan Jingyi.
“Stay here” he instructed. Lan Jingyi nodded and pulled away from the hug, allowing Jiang Cheng to stand to his feet and look for the device that lowered Lan Xichen. He soon found it and pressed the “lower” button, slowly lowering Lan Xichen to the ground. After he was on the ground, Jiang Cheng quickly unbound Lan Xichen’s hands before carefully picking him up bridal style. He then carried Lan Xichen over to Lan Jingyi, who was looking at his injured father with wide eyes.
“Come on, Jingyi. Let’s go home” Jiang Cheng declared. Lan Jingyi nodded and followed Jiang Cheng out of the warehouse and back to the car.
Jiang Cheng drove Lan Jingyi and Lan Xichen back to his small apartment. Once they were inside, Jiang Cheng instructed Lan Jingyi to go lie down in the guest room and get some rest, since it had been a long day, while he took Lan Xichen to his bedroom, the master bedroom. He then carefully placed Lan Xichen on the bed before walking into the bathroom to get a couple of washrags and his first aid kit, since he decided that he was going to clean and bandage Lan Xichen’s wounds. He then wet two washrags and walked back into his bedroom, beginning to clean Lan Xichen’s wounds. From his experience of patching Wei Wuxian up after he came from…whatever it was that he did, Jiang Cheng was quick and efficient in cleaning the wounds, getting rid of the blood that had coagulated on Lan Xichen’s body, making sure to clean the edges of the wounds well so that they wouldn’t get infected. Once Lan Xichen was as clean as he was going to get, Jiang Cheng took out his first aid kit and began to patch up Lan Xichen’s wounds. As he was patching him up, Lan Xichen slowly came back to consciousness, blinking as he tried to assess his surroundings.
“Don’t do anything stupid, I just finished bandaging your wounds” Jiang Cheng grumbled, making Lan Xichen look over at him in confusion.
“Mr. Jiang. What—” he started when Jiang Cheng huffed.
“Your brother and mine came to get me and Jingyi from school, telling us that you got kidnapped. We rescued you and my sister and her husband took Wangji and Wei Wuxian back to their house while I took you and Jingyi back to mine. And don’t worry about Jingyi, he’s fine, he’s asleep in my guest room” he stated. Lan Xichen was quiet before he smiled and dipped his head.
“Thank you” he thanked. Jiang Cheng shrugged.
“You’re just lucky that your son’s teacher used to be a mobster before he became a kindergarten teacher. Because if it had been anybody else, I don’t think you would have gotten out of there” he stated. Lan Xichen hummed before he realized that he was shirtless and his eyes widened.
“Did you—” he started when Jiang Cheng nodded.
“I saw it. And I promise I won’t say anything. I know you have a reputation and an image to uphold and if word gets out about what you really do well…it won’t look to go for you and Jingyi” he replied. Lan Xichen smiled.
“Thank you. Really” he thanked. Jiang Cheng waved his hand.
“It’s whatever. I’m just glad I could help” he stated. Lan Xichen smiled again before he looked at Jiang Cheng.
“If there’s anything you ever need, just let me know” he instructed. Jiang Cheng smirked.
“Don’t make me an offer like that, Mr. Lan. I might just take you up on it” he teased. Lan Xichen chuckled.
“I hope you do, Mr. Jiang” he replied. Jiang Cheng smirked while Lan Xichen smiled.
“I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, Mr. Jiang” Lan Xichen declared. Jiang Cheng hummed.
“Or maybe something more” he offered. Lan Xichen raised an eyebrow before he chuckled.
“Or maybe something more” he agreed.
