Chapter 32

Author's POV

Wei Wuxian felt himself hyperventilate, there in front of him stood the same people he sacrificed his world for the same ones who threw it back in his face and turned their back on him. Perhaps a part of him once felt hatred for them, but most of him only felt discomfort and grief when facing them. He felt the scars on his body throb, especially his back.

What was one supposed to do when their past comes smacking them in the face on a simple trip? He could probably pray to his big brother and no doubt the rest of the heavens would answer along side, but he did not wish to cause a huge commotion.

'Ok Wei Ying, you have faced demons and monsters worse than this, you have died and lived. Toughen up'

"Wei Wuxian!" someone called out, the man in question sighed deeply and thought 'alright! time to get this show on the road'

"Ah- hi?" Wei Wuxian replied, his tone guarded and uncertain, his body seemed to be physically holding back from folding in on itself. 

"Ah-um we did not expect to see you here today." Lan Xichen said surprised and fidgety, a very odd look for the man often smiling and calm

"Well...this place is still my home and i'm here to visit family so..." Wei Wuxian trailed off feeling more discomfort than ever.

The others witnessing this exchange felt even more ashamed and awkward as a tense and uncomfortable silence befall them once more

'gosh this is so awkward I want the ground to swallow me up' groaned Wei Wuxian internally 

'The first personal meeting with Ba- Young master Wei and this is already off to an awful start' Lan Shizhui sweated as he watched his once father fidget uncomfortably, clearly not wanting to be near them, And wow that hurt but it was also very valid. 

Before anyone could say anything Wei Wuxian spoke up in hopes of escaping this incredibly awkward and uncomfy situation, "Well ah, I uh should head...out now...so..uh have a pleasant trip Young masters." 

He gave Nie Huisang a subtle look clearly meaning 'lets meet up later' to which the head-shaker winked in return, before he could leave however, Jin Ling yelled out a panicked "WAIT!" startling Wei Wuxian so bad he almost lost his balance and fell.

When some took a step to help, Wei Wuxian instinctively flinched, souring the mood further. he coughed lightly before tilting his head, questioning the Jin heir. Jin Ling panicked even more as that call was subconscious and he had nothing to say but wanted Wei Wuxian to remain longer with them. Nie Huisang sighed and with pity decided to help this poor situation, suggesting "How about we all settle down and have lunch, all this walking around is making me hungry. Wouldn't you agree A-Xian?" 

Wei Wuxian looked up at him with an anxious and displeased expression but agreed once he saw the hopeful looks on the juniors and Jiang Wangyin's faces, it seems that even after everything he was still soft for the ones he once considered family. 

The others in the groups subtly gave Huisang a grateful nod, to which he just smiled slightly. Wei Wuxian led them to a small but cozy restaurant at the corner of the street, one that was instantly recognized as the place Wei Wuxian, Wen Yuan, and Lan Wangji shared their first and last meal as family.
