Cloud Recesses arm-wrestling #xicheng #MDZS
Everything starts with NHS. "So, I've been thinking... Which one is stronger, Dage or Xichen-ge?"
There's a pause as everyone thinks it over.
"It's definitely me," NMJ said confidently.
LXC smiled. "Are you sure of that, Dage?"

That is the start of the arm-wrestling tournament. They even manage to convince LQR about the supposedly study of muscles--whatever that means.
The first round is WWX vs NMJ. WWX, despite his enthusiastic effort, is obliterated within 5 seconds and now is whining non-stop.

The second round is LWJ and JZX. While JC dislikes LWJ immensely, but he's satisfied that JZX can't move LWJ even a little. Not that it's a surprise, JZX is weak peacock bastard. JYL should get someone much better than him.
WWX, who's done sulking, is now fawning over LWJ-
WWX, who's done sulking, is now fawning over LWJ-
-in an embarrassing display of stupidity. So JC drags him to the table and he sits on the opposite side.
"Are you ready to lose, baby brother?"
"Fuck you," JC says and tries to ignore whatever stupidity comes out of WWX's mouth.
Sadly, that cunning bastard of a brother-

Sadly, that cunning bastard of a brother-
-manages to cheat him! WWX pretends to be losing ground and when JC is close enough to win, he puts all his energy to slams JC's hand on the opposite side.
"YOU LOSE, BABY BROTHER!"
Did he have to slam JC's hand so hard though? Now it's far too numb to strangle WWX!

Finally the awaited NMJ vs LXC happens. With their hands locked tightly, everyone is waiting for anyone to gain the ground...
3 minutes...
5 minutes...
10 minutes...
15 minutes...
IT'S BEEN 30 MINUTES AND NO ONE IS MOVING AT ALL???
NHS is so bored he just calls it a draw.

There's no point to wait until tomorrow because those two are too stubborn anyway. Plus, everyone already gets 30 minutes to ogle LXC's and NMJ's muscles anyway. Why do they have to wait even longer?
(WWX calls bullshit, he's curious about the result!)

JC has the worst luck. It's now NMJ vs JC. He saw how much in pain WWX's hand was after the match with NMJ, and now he's going to experience that too. His hands can already feel the phantom pain before they start.
Except he doesn't feel pain? Sure, NMJ defeats him,

But it's as if NMJ's trying to be as gentle as possible, weirdly enough.
"WAIT! THAT'S DISCRIMINATION!" WWX protests, he flails his hand. "JC didn't get painful defeat but I did!"
"Well, you didn't have a scary monster looking over your shoulder, did you?" NMJ shouts back.

"Well, you didn't have a scary monster looking over your shoulder, did you?" NMJ shouts back.
What scary monster? The only one standing behind JC is LXC and he's smiling like usual.
Several matches later, including the one where WWX's trying to flirt his way to win to a stone-faced LWJ, is JC's match to LXC. He hopes it's not going to be painful for him.

"Are you ready, Wanyin?" LXC smiles.
JC just nods. He holds LXC's bigger hand and tries to ignore how warm it is as he waits for the match to start.
They start and just as he predicted, he can't move LXC's hand at all while his own hand keeps slipping on the table.

JC tries to hold his ground by holding on the table with his other hand and bites his lip and oh--LXC's hand wavers! Perhaps LXC is tired? Wait, that's not important!
A whine slips from his lips as JC uses all of his energy to move LXC's hand and and---wait, JC WINS???

JC blinks in confusion, his hand is still holding onto LXC's hand. JC wins against LXC? How can that be?
He can hear LWJ's exasperated voice, "Brother..." He sounds so unimpressed somehow.
"Wangji," LXC sounds sheepish.
No, JC doesn't win. LXC lets him win!

"You!" He jabs his finger furiously on LXC's chest. "You're letting me win! Why would you do that?" Does LXC think JC is so pathetic that he has to let him win?
"Sorry, Wanyin," LXC smiles again, the tip of his are strangely red. "But Wanyin looks adorable and I got distracted."

He--JC--looks WHAT???
The red flush rises to JC's cheeks in vengeance. How is JC supposed to respond to THAT???
There's only one thing JC can do: he lets go of LXC's hand and walks calmly before he strategically places himself behind WWX's body definitely NOT in embarrassment.

His hand still feels warm from the bigger hand it's been holding onto minutes ago.
