I'm thinking of a very specific flavour of jealous wangxian that's borne NOT out of mistrust or insecurity but just... sheer annoyance
like LWJ is very much in love and supportive of his husband but he has also mostly seen him at home, in their shared cozy space.

so when WWX bags a new project with a shorter deadline, and starts inviting his team home on weekends, LWJ is... unamused.
now, his husband is a charming man, there's no other word for it. But a WWX in his element is a thing of envy.

WWX, absorbed in work, frantically brainstorming ideas and instructing people left and right is... deadly.
LWJ knows the affect his husband has on people, he has the first hand experience of being on the receiving end of it. He has no doubt his colleagues are enamoured.

But he was also better off not having witnessed it, especially at their home. Within just two weekends, Wei Ying's little team of five members has managed to get on his nerves.
He's seen how the young intern flusters when WWX regards him directly, and he's seen the glint in—

one of the female coworker's eyes when she debates with him, sometimes uselessly just to be playful.
Almost as if they don't know he's married, LWJ thinks unimpressed.
The rational part of his brain knows he's being childish, if WWX gets to know, he'll tease him to no ends.

But WWX won't understand. He's the type who often joins people in ogling at LWJ if he catches them looking.
More than once, WWX has caught someone checking LWJ out and walked right over to talk about just how pretty his husband is.

to LWJ's glare, his response is always a laughing, "You're too pretty Lan Zhan, what to do?"
WWX won't understand LWJ's predicament, he finds himself thinking, almost petulantly. He is not the jealous type.

so if LWJ takes it upon himself to throw in occasional reminders for everyone and their grand mother, he cannot really be blamed.
Not exactly to stake a claim of who he is, but rather, to state loud and clear just *what* they're up against.

clueless as he is, WWX notices none of it.
If LWJ makes it a point to kiss him everytime he delivers them snacks in the drawing room, well, nothing out of ordinary there. Lan Zhan is a very very loving husband.

If WWX starts waking up with hickeys in very visible places, he only shrugs.
He's never been one to mind those, shameless as he is. He very much believes that surplus hickeys was his dowry when he decided to marry Lan Zhan who's bitey in general and bitier in bed.

If LWJ asks his colleagues to stay over for dinner and then spends the majority of it stuffing food into WWX's bowl, honestly, it's nothing different from how he acts at family dinners.
WWX is too used to it to feel embarrassed at this point.

And so, he's wholly unsuspecting when one day LWJ steps into living room with groceries and immediately frowns, catching two of his co-workers on the couch.
WWX won't blame him. He was supposed to wrap up earlier today so they could watch a movie tonight.

It's been long since they've spent a quiet evening together. To be honest, he himself was getting a little exhausted with the constantly prolonging conversation.
With LWJ now clearly annoyed, he quickly brings it to an end, ushering the two of them out.

He's at the door saying his goodbyes when he hears LWJ behind him.
"Wei Ying, I can't find my green shirt."
He turn instinctively. "Must be in the—," the fake smile he had plastered for the lady droning about their upcoming gala freezes, just like the words in his throat.

LWJ is there, at the top of stairs... shirtless.
He frowns. Since when does Lan Zhan parade around like this in front of people? He has his dark slacks on, he even has his belt on. But above it, he's totally bare.
And definitely not helping matters is the red flush on him—

16
extending all the way from his ears over the expanse of his neck and chest, with hair all mussed as if he ran his hands through them.
It's his bedroom look.
WWX frowns again. "Must be in the bottom left drawer," he mumbles pitifully.
LWJ nods and walks back inside.

WWX can swear he caught a tiny smile on his face right before he turned back.
He frowns for third time. Wtf was that all about? He finds out soon when he turns back.
Drooling mouths and two pairs of gawking eyes are still fixed at the empty space LWJ was standing at.

WWX scowls, with what feels like his whole body.
"What are you both looking at, c'mon, get going," he practically shoves them out of the door.
When he walks into the bedroom with a very pointed, "Lan Zhan," he finds him folding laundry as if nothing ever happened.

Fully clothed.
WWX spends most of the evening frowning and pouting. Finally, at dinner, when he can no longer keep it down, he blurts, "What was the shirt thing all about?"
LWJ blinks innocently and says, "I couldn't find my green shirt, Wei Ying."

And when they're watching the movie with his fingers threaded into LWJ's hair on his lap, he finds himself thinking.
Minutes later, he pauses the movie and grabs LWJ's face to turn it towards himself. "Let's get a rack so we don't have to keep your home clothes in the drawer."

21
LWJ gives him a bewildered look. "Why?"
"So you can find them easily."
A crease appears between his eyebrows. "But I never lose my stuff."
WWX bends down and places a kiss on his lips, somewhat punishing. "Except when you do, at the worst of times too."

WWX (externally): Let's get a rack so you won't have to come out of the room shirtless again, since it obviously makes you so uncomfortable.
WWX (internally): let's get a rack so you'd stop parading around the house... yk... like a whore (affectionate).

LWJ regards him with curiosity. "Are you... jealous?"
WWX bends down again for another kiss, this one with more teeth. "Very."
For a moment, LWJ looks as if he's discovered some hidden treasure. Then he picks up the remote and presses play.
"Alright, let's get a rack."

meanwhile, WWX at 3 am: BUT LAN ZHAN WEARS BLUE SHIRT ON SATURDAYS!!!

To the top!
