"You should atleast take a rest." Jiang Fengmian says in exasperation before looking after Xue Yang who was training amongst the young disciples.
Cale just grunts, scanning over his papers once again.
Sect Leader Jiang sighs, grabbing the papers from the redhead's hands who glared at him in return.
"A-Cheng and A-Xian are returning any minute now. Go greet them at the port."
The redhead sighs defeatedly before standing up, slightly baffled at how much time had already passed since he kicked himself out from Gusu.
"Alright, just make sure that you won't destroy those papers. I spent sleepless nights on them." Cale grumbles, walking away like a corpse that has just been revived.
Xue Yang looks at Cale with confused eyes before he got caught and went back to his training.
Jiang Fengmian looks at one of the papers he grabbed earlier, his eyebrows scrunching as he scrutinized every detail that was written.
"A stone, a spear, a dome...and an underground pathway?"
Sect Leader Jiang paused, remembering something.
He then walks away briskly like he needs to see something for himself. And when he did found the thing he's been looking for, he couldn't help but curse out loud which is unfitting for someone like him.
"What the hell?! Wei Xianghuan!"
From afar, Cale could feel his ear getting itchy as he scratched it.
"Is someone talking shit about me?" He mutters to himself, his feet dangling at the port's ledge.
He sees a ripe lotus beside his feet. Picking it up and munching the seeds while he wait for them to arrive.
"Gege!"
His red hair swirled around when he felt some wind usher to his face, a small smile evident on his face as he waved to Wei Ying who was standing at the boat's very front.
It's been a long time since he saw his little brother's face.
Standing up to greet Wei Ying, he was surprised when Jiang Cheng came running and dived towards the redhead to hug him.
"A-Cheng? Is there something wrong?"
Of course Cale would be surprised, since it's not in Jiang Cheng's character to hug someone so suddenly with that tsundere behavior of his.
"Is it wrong to hug my gege whom I missed dearly?"
Woah woah woah there. Who the hell is this?
"Is he drunk?" Cale blurted out, making Wei Ying wheeze as Jiang Yanli laughs.
"Damn it, this is why I hate showing affection." Jiang Cheng mutters, which Cale heard it all clearly.
Before the younger could detach himself from the redhead, Cale hugged Jiang Cheng back in a more tight manner and pats his back softly.
"Welcome home, A-Cheng."
Jiang Cheng just leans into the warmth coming from the redhead, relishing the affection he's receiving.
"Hey hey! Include us in the hug too!"
As Wei Ying said that, the redhead could see another figure looking at them only to find out it was Nie Huaisang.
Before Cale could call out to Nie Huaisang, his breath got knocked out from his lungs when he felt Wei Ying hugged him too(which was followed by Jiang Yanli who just hugs him in the lightest way possible).
