WangXian Short Story

Chapter 8

Since they were already here in Lotus Piers, Wei Wuxian was thinking to visit Uncle Jiang and Lady Yu, not to forget his beloved sister Jiang Yan Li. But the last time he went to visit, he had a big fight with Jiang Cheng. He's not sure about how is his relationship with Jiang Cheng now as well. He thought twice and decided to go even if Jiang Cheng was going to be angry with him, he had missed Uncle Jiang and all very much. Lan Wangji accompanied him, but he did not follow him inside to the temple because Wei Wuxian remembered Jiang Cheng was furious that he brought him in without his permission.

"Wait here, I'll go in."

"Alright."

Wei Wuxian lighted three sticks of incense and wanted to kneel before the plate of the deceased, but his arm got caught to prevent him from kneeling.

"You're still thinking of kneeling before them?"

"Oh, Jiang Cheng..."

Where did he come from? Did he just pass by Han Guang Jun? But even if he did, Lan Wangji would have stopped him, although it is not right to stop him from entering his own family temple, but at least they would have made a sound, a scoff maybe? Wei Wuxian was sure that Jiang Cheng had been waiting for him here.

"I'm here to pay my respect, and after that, I'll leave."

"If you're going to pay just do it, I don't need you to kneel."

"Jiang Cheng, do you hate me that much? I didn't even let Lan Zhan in with me."

"Yeah, I hate you, so what? You didn't even think about coming back after three years."

"I was afraid that you were going to be mad like last time."

"And why are you here now?"

"Well, I wanted to sneak in..." Wei Wuxian was muffling and Jiang Cheng couldn't catch what he said.

"What?"

"Nothing, just let me do this."

"Hmph."

Jiang Cheng did not object, so he assumed he let him, but when he tried to kneel again, Jiang Cheng stopped him.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"You're already inconvenient, and you're still trying to kneel?"

"Huh?"

"Wei Wuxian are you dumb after getting pregnant?"

"You...you knew?"

"What? Do I not have the right to know?"

"No, it's just..."

"Just put the incense onto the pot and get back to your room!"

"Oh, okay, alright."

The two came out from the temple, Wei Wuxian was feeling happy today. But what Lan Wangji saw was a different thing when Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng came out together. His brows twisted a little and he gave a death stare to Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Cheng, I thought you demolished my room already."

"And I did."

"Then what am I staying in, with everything still in the same place?"

"I rebuilt it."

"You.. you rebuilt it for me?"

"Who said I did it for you? It's for me to put my dogs."

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

Even the word "dog" scared him. Wei Wuxian screamed and jumped up to Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji was worried he might slip and he held on to his waist. The sight almost blinded Jiang Cheng but luckily he was able to roll his eyes up in time. He accepted their relationship but have yet to get used to their lovey-dovey actions.

"Lan Wangji, get him back to your room already, he's too noisy." with that, Jiang Cheng left.

After a few days of healing, Wei Wuxian and the bunch are ready to return to Gusu. Jiang Cheng was thoughtful to have considered that Wei Wuxian may not be suitable to ride the horse, and so he had prepared a carriage for him.

"Jiang Cheng, are you nuts? Do you think I'll die of hunger on the way back?"

"Shut up! Put them all onto the carriage!" Jiang Cheng said while the Lan Sect students were carrying stacks of food on to the carriage. From Yun Meng to Gusu would only take a few days and the amount of supplies that Jiang Cheng had prepared for them could sum up to be like a month. Once everything was ready, Lan Wangji helped Wei Wuxian up to the carriage.

Wei Wuixian looked out of the window to see Jiang Cheng, and he shouted, "Jiang Cheng, don't forget to visit me!"

"Sit down you bastard!"

The carriage started to move, and Wei Wuxian was looking out until Jiang Cheng gotten further and away. The carriage wobbled and Lan Wangji quickly grabbed hold of Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian finally sat down and he rested his head on Lan Wangji's shoulder.

"Wei Ying."

"I'm alright, Lan Zhan."

He was thinking back on their stay in Lotus Piers and he was finally able to get a taste of the lotus root pork rib soup for every meal. He had been asking Jiang Cheng to teach Lan Wangji to make it but Jiang Cheng kept refusing him.

"I said no."

"Come on, little sis."

"Fuck off, don't call me sis!"

He was a little disappointed, but what Jiang Cheng said next warmed his heart.

"If you want, then come back more often."
