Elysian dialects and their meanings...
Sakzhanan- [sak-janan].in human language "ship"
When Wei Zhan woke up, it was already noon. The caretakers looked at him with worry faces. His brother Wei Zuocheng was also looking stressed and tired. He felt pity on him.
"Don't look at me like that!" Zuocheng hisses.
He pouts, "what happened?" Why are you all looking at me as if I'm terminally ill?
"You're really a pain in the ass, you know?! We've been looking for you the whole fucking night just to find you sleeping soundly on that Balite tree?! Are you out of your mind?"
Zhan slowly sat and massaged his temples for a minute or two. "Yah, did you put drugs on my drinks last night?"
The caretakers gasp upon hearing the word drug. Zuocheng exclaimed "Y-you! What do you think of me?!"
Wei Zhan laughs "kidding".
The caretaker butts in, "Mr. Wei, Did something happen last night?Please don't go near the Balite tree again, the Encanto might get attracted to you and kidnap you".
Zuocheng suppressed his laughs and so is he. But the thought of Encanto reminded him of what happened last night hence, he ended up telling them. The caretakers' faces were painted worried but Zuocheng told him he must be very drunk and imagining things. "Nonsense! There's no river in this area, only a stream" says his brother.
"Exactly my point! How come?" Zhan replied. Zuocheng rolled his eyes "exactly my point too that you're drunk and imagining crazy things! Yacht? In the river? Even a 1st grader won't believe you!"
When he felt sobered enough to go for a late afternoon walk his feet dragged him where he went last night. Indeed, no river, only a stream and there's no way to have a huge yacht in a stream. So how come?
He felt uneasy, engulfing his stomach with fears. He is really sure what happened to him last night. He fished out his phone from his pocket and searched "Emperor's smile alcohol". Strange, he couldn't find it. He felt the familiar goosebumps again, he tried convincing himself that Encantos' are not true he was just hallucinating but his mind is betraying him especially when the man in a mourning hanfu told him to forget this night. He doesn't want to cross his paths with him again, he admits he's terrified but part of him wanted to see the man again.
"Yes I just want to ask where did he purchase those alcohol! Or does the emperor's smile is exclusively made for them?" He chuckled. If Encantos' are true, he'd like to credit that they have a great taste in designs and alcohol.
That just is! He convinces himself. "I just want to ask him about that!"
Days passed in their ancestral home and everything went back to normal. Wei Zhan
Secretly sneaks at night but there is no river and yacht. It has been 3 days since that incident and so he decided to move on and forget what happened.
He busied himself constructing his designs for furniture and fixtures and themed it Extraterrestrials inspired by what he saw inside the yacht. He even designed a new version of the Emperor's smile as a vase and decanters. Gosh how he missed the taste of it! Also, he was tempted to design a yacht different from the Encantos'- but the inspiration is still there.
He opened his social media; it has been a while since he last opened it. As expected, his inbox was flooded with tons of messages. He opened Yu Bin's
Yu Bin: Zhan where are you
Yu Bin: I understand but please msg me ok
Yu Bin: Zhan when are you coming back?
Yu Bin: We missed you here
Yu Bin: please come back soon
He also read the new manager's message
He Peng: Man, i know ur upset
He Peng: totally understandable
He Peng: but let's all be professional
He Peng: and moved on
He Peng: you're AWOL but will let it slide
He Peng: comeback after a week
Wei Zhan didn't even bother to reply, he is still bitter. He saw the posts of one of his colleagues celebrating He Peng's promotion. They were eating at the restaurant, all of them were smiling. With a crashed heart, he self-pitied again, Zuocheng was already at his room, he decided to drink alone and drown himself with a strong wine.
He didn't know when he fell asleep out of drunkenness and was sobered in the middle of the night waking up thirsty. He quenched his thirst with ice-cold water. He glanced at the wall clock in the living room, quarter to 1AM. He grabbed his jacket and went outside, he just wanted to try his luck to see the enchanted yacht.
To his delight, the yacht is indeed there! He immediately queued himself to get in. Once inside, his clothing was changed again, a different style of hanfu but the same in color- red and black; hair in a ponytail style. He knew he still looked handsome despite not seeing himself in the mirror. He happily grabbed two bottles of the Emperor's smile, one he'll drink it; the other one he will smuggle it later.
He hastily went his way to the second floor to hopefully see the man before. He didn't know a pair of amused eyes was peering at him the entire time.
Luckily, the man he was looking for was there, busy admiring the moon, alone. He was wearing a white hanfu as usual, but his hair style is different this time.
"What's up?!" Wei Zhan lively asks
The man turns with a furrowed brows
Wei Zhan immediately defends "Yah! don't give me that look" as he made his way towards him. Lan Wangji already knew what was going to happen but stood still anyways. He let Wei Zhan pats his shoulder
"Hey! Where did you order this" showing the alcohol. "Oishi!" He playfully adds.
But the man in white seriously responded "what are you doi-" and Wei Zhan was quick to interrupt "You're so mean! You even said to me to forget what happened? Are you afraid someone in the yacht might get attractive to me instead to you?" he jokes.
The man in white didn't reply instead gave him Wei Zhan a what-the-fuck look.
Lan Wangji unconsciously clenched fists. He wonders how a Jamo could remember what had happened when he clearly uses his magic to erase that memory? It is another discovery to him. His confusion didn't even flashed on his poker face.
A fake cough interrupted them. Wei Zhan flinched, it was the host downstairs. He walks towards them.
"Wangji" he calls
Wei Zhan automatically looks at the other man "so, your name is Wangji?" He teases
"Lan Wangji" the host corrected. I am Lan Xichen, and you are?"
"Brother" Lan Wangji warns, fists still clenched. Lan Xichen smiled, he could read his brother's action. He was quite amused watching the two interact earlier.
Wei Zhan offers his hand "I am Wei Zhan, pleased to meet you Lan Xichen, except the other man here, duuhh.."
Lan Xichen stares at the hand offered; confused "What do you want me to do with your hand?"
Wei Zhan, dumbfounded still not retracting his hand. "Shall we high five instead? Ughh" he took Lan Xichen's hands and guided him to do the high five.
"Disrespectful" Lan Wangji uttered
"Huh? In which part?" Wei Zhan replied.
Lan XiChen smiled. "It's okay Zhan" Wangji, he amusingly warns "can I call you Zhan?" He inquires
Zhan nods "sure sure!"
He then seriously change his face and Zhan panics "I believe I saw you here the other night"
Zhan just nods
"Do you know what we are? I suppose you do"
Zhan nods again but curiosity push him "Lan Xichen, I have a question, please don't get mad"
It was Lan XiChen's turn to nod
"Who designed this Yacht?
The two man exchanged glances; puzzled
"Yacht? What is that?"
Wei Zhan deadpanned, "this!" describing the yacht they're riding.
The two man gave him an ah-okay look
"Sakzhanan" Lan Wangji spoke
Wei Zhan looks at him "huh?"
"We call it sakzhanan" he adds
Mouth forming an o he mused, "i see" then "who designed this sakzhanan?" He adds
"Lan Wangji", Lan XiChen answers
Surprised, he playfully slaps Lan Wangji's arms "yah! Yah! You're a good designer! I'm a designer too!"
Lan XiChen was shocked at what he saw. His brother let Wei Zhan slap him. That is so new!
"Zhan, would you like to see the other designs Lan Wanji did?"
Lan Wangji looks at his brother like he was betrayed.
Wei Zhan replied "that would be cool!"
Smiles, Lan XiChen looked at his brother, "why don't you show him around, Wangji?"
