Chapter one
Awake.
After Wei Ying attempted to free himself from the world he had lived in by falling off a clif you'd think he'd be be dead after everything that has happened.
But no, he was alive someone or something had found him before it was too late. Many people we're happy over Wei Yings death but people had slowly started to figure out that Wei Ying wasn't the one who did all those evil deeds. And Began to feel guilt.
Instead it was Jin Guangyao.
People who had hated Wei Ying and thought he was a Satan spawn from underneath had suddenly changed their feelings about Wei Ying and the Yin iron realizing he had used himself as a vessel after the word had gotten out, people wondered if he was alive, one even tried summoning him to see if it was true he wasn't alive..
Not only did his "Death" effect the world in various of ways, it effected those close to him, Yanli, Jiang Cheng, Lan Wangji, the Wen siblings, And A-Yuan who is as known as Lan Sizhui then name given by Lan Wangji.
Lan Wangji went back to his old ways, Barely showing emotion, Stubbornly obedient to the rules, and punishing, rarely talking to others including his uncle and brother.
Yanli was broken but still managed just for Wei Ying, she knew that if her little brother saw her not doing well he'd been so broken. She thought he was watching from above so still tried her best to raise her child without her husband though she still cried at night.
In other words, she was a wreck, a tired and lonely single mother taking care of a child by herself. Sometimes she wished her brother A-Xian could just bring him back to life how he did with Wen Ning, she didn't mind if he became a puppet.
She just wanted Jin Zixuan back, her late husband and her brother who she would have sacrificed her life a thousand times if she had to.
Meanwhile Jiang Cheng blames himself for his death considering he was the one who stabbed the rocks with his sword as Lan Wangji tried to save him. He blames himself for being blinded with anger frustration, and hatetread towards Wei Ying and ignoring the fact that he was with him almost his whole entire life no matter what happened.
And lost the person he loved the most other than his relatives, the person who he choose to be his sworn brother, his joy and happiness, the one who swore to be with him through life and death.
The present, Sixteen years after Wei Yings "Death"
It was pitch dark, not even the tiniest of light could be seen, Wei Ying had awoken from his Sixteen year long slumber, Wei Ying's body was sore, stiff, and achey, like he had been kicked all over, that's because he had been in the same position for years.
His arms and legs felt heavy and somewhat numb, he hated the feeling, he wanted it to stop.
Wei Ying was on a some sort of cushion it was soft and warm, Wei Ying was covered in a nice silk blanket. Still he wondered where he was as he tried to regain his memories, the only thing he could remember was who he was and his two dearest Siblings.
Wei Ying didn't even remember Yuan, Lan Zhan, Wen Ning, Wen Qing, Not even any of the leaders names, the list could go on for hours since Wei Ying knew alot of people, He knew his name and that was good enough.
Wei Ying heard footsteps which startled him, he slowy rose up to see a yellowish orange light, Wei ying was scared he trembled as the light got closer.
There was black figure that resembled a woman, the womanly figure had stopped and lit multiple candles until it was Bright enough for Wei Ying to see clearly.
The figure turned to Wei Ying quickly the figure still holding her candle face sank, her eye brows curved inwards while they lowered towards her eyes, her face scrunched up as a river of emotion fell from her eyes, it was as if she was holding every last emotion she had felt inside her and let it all out.
"Wei Wuxian" The woman cried out "Wei Wuxian, are you truly awake now?!"
Wei Yings eyes widened, while his brain struggled to grasp the right words and put them together to try and calm her down showing her some reassurance that he was here, though it was quite strange someone he didn't know was calling his name.
She seemed so familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Wei Ying's body ached and some what felt numb as he tried to sit up even further
Despite his own discomfort, he mustered the strength to approach the individual and offer some words of comfort. His voice was hoarse from disuse, but he spoke softly and gently, trying to calm the person's sobs.
Wei Ying felt dizzy as he struggled to walk over to the person crying out his name.
As Wei Ying placed a comforting hand on the person's shoulder, he couldn't help but feel a deep empathy for their pain. He may have been physically sore from his long sleep, but the emotional pain of seeing someone cry was almost unbearable.
Yet, he pushed through his own discomfort, trying to provide a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. After all, he knew what it was like to feel alone and lost after such a long time in a coma, and he didn't want anyone else to feel the same way.
"Wei Wuxian, do you know how much I've missed you?" The woman pushed Wei Ying harshly causing her to cry even more
Wei Wuxian looked up at the woman through tear-filled eyes, pain and confusion etched on his face. "I-I don't understand," he stuttered. "Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?" He paused his voice going hoarse "How do you know my name?!"
The woman's grip on Wei Wuxian's arm tightened, making him wince in pain. "Don't play dumb with me," she hissed. "You know exactly who I am. I'm Wen Qing, Wen Nings sister."
Wei Wuxian's eyes widened in shock. "W-wen Qing.?" he stammered.
The woman nodded sharply. "Wen Qing," she said coldly. "Do you know how much I've suffered over the past few years, believing you had no chance of surviving with the amount of burns you had all over you?!" She yells shaking him every word that came out.
Wei Wuxian shook his head in disbelief. "I don't understand," he repeated. "I don't remember any of this. I don't remember you."
Wen Qing let go of Wei Wuxian going over to fetch him a pair of clothes, Wei Ying tried to sit comfortably on the bed but every movement hurt or felt strange and tingly, he didn't want Wen Qing to worry for him so he tried his best to act as if nothing hurt.
"Put this on, we're going out and also put this mask on, we don't need people recognizing you."
"Okay, where are we going?" Wei Ying asked
" To Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli."
Wei Ying winced as he sat up to grab the clothing from Wen Qing to put them on, Wen Qing quickly noticed and tried to help him remove his robe.
Wei Ying felt embarrassed and a bit guilty that she was doing this for him.
"You don't have to.." Wei Ying paused "Do this for me.." Wei Ying said putting his arms forward so Wen Qing could unwrap the straps on his arms.
"Are you still sad?" Wei Ying asked "I can change in and out of my clothing myself you know I'm not a child anymore."
"Quiet Wuxian." Wen Qing hissed.
Wei Ying listened to Wen Qings demand moving his shoulder a bit in discomfort, Soon Wei ying's upper half of his body was bare, Wei Ying slowly covered his self with his arms to hide his bare body, but there was no point really.
She was a medical doctor for God's sake.
Wen Qing grabbed the upper layer of the robe and put it on Wei Ying, she scanned his chest, her face turned a lush pink.
"There, now surely you can do the bottom by yourself." Wen Qing said walking away
"Miss Wen!" Wei Ying shouted!
"Hm?" Qing stoped to walk over and assist the pale dark haired man.
"How exactly do I put this on? There's so many parts." Wei Ying said, he felt dizzy just looking at the outfit.
"Watch carefully Wei Wuxian."
Qing would help Wei Ying with the rest of his clothes then styled his hair differently and tied his red ribbon around his neck softly into a bow.
"Perfect! Now have a seat on your bed or try to move around to losen up your muscles, it may take awhile because you've been in a coma for so long."
And that I gave up on massaging your muscles in a way you wouldn't feel so uncomfortable..
Wei Ying nodded watching Qing pick up her candle And fade away into the darkness with her lit candle. Wei Ying hobbled around the room he was in with every movent he winced. He wondered what had happened to make him like this.
Hours later Wei Ying and Wen Qing had taken a boat over to Lotus Pier, they had arrived at the entrance to see guarded by two gaurds, one was a wee bit shorter than the other guard standing across from the other gaurd.
"Who are you? And why are you here?" The Shorter guard asked putting his hand on his sword.
"You don't need to know who I am, but I have someone who you'd like to see, well Leader Jiang Cheng would like to see." Qing said pushing Wei Ying forward.
"Hmm, we'll let you in.." The taller guard said opening the gates for them.
"I can't wait to see Senior Sister and Jiang Cheng!" Wei Ying smiled.
At least he didn't lose his smile.
Wei Ying gripped onto Wen Qings shoulder scared he'd fall over, even though he couldn't quite remember her he felt connected to her and somewhat safe.
Wei ying looked around as they walked around searching for Jiang Cheng, Memories of this place from when Wei Ying was a child all came back to him.
"Miss Wen?"
"Yes Wei?" Qing Answered stopping in her tracks.
"Wheres Jiang Cheng and Senior Sister?" Wei Ying asked. "And why has something's changed?"
" I'm right here, a voice familiar to both Wei Ying and Qing Said calmly. "But how do you kn-" She was cut off by Wei Ying
"Senior sister!" Wei Ying smiled Going to hug her tight
"Careful Wei Wuxian, you don't want to fall over." Qing laughed faintly, "Nor will I catch you."
"Wei Wuxian?" Yanli questioned "Xian is that really you? You look so different!" Her eye's filled with water slowing turning red, it didn't take long before the first tear fell.
"Senior sister don't cry, I'm here, I'm here now please don't cry!" Wei Ying pleaded hugging her tight in his arms.
"Xian, why did you fall, why did you put your life away like that?!" She raised her voice. "Why A-Xian?!" She paused "You said it would always be the three of us.."
"Dont be upset Shije.." Wei Ying said "I don't understand what you mean by fall and put my life away." Wei ying had parted from Yanli.
"I can't believe this, A-Xian you've changed to much!"
"Miss Wen?" Wei Ying had noticed Qing didn't look too happy as she started intensely at Jiang Yanli.
"Yes Wei Wuxian?" Her eyes fk quickly turned from Yanlis to Wei Yings, she knew something was up with Yanli.
"You seem unhappy.. Whats wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just tired.",
"Hmm.. Okay!" Wei Ying turned back to his sister
Wei Ying couldn't help but notice the bags his sister had formed and the light red tint in her eyes. Her eyes didn't look how he remembered, he couldn't help but wonder what happened and why did his sister look so..
Horrid and unseemly?
but also seemed so Bright and cheerful..
how could someone change so much so.
"Quickly..?" Wei Ying murmured, a confused look washed over his face.
"What was that XianXian?" Yanli raised an eye brow
Wei Ying wanted to ask about her and what had been troubling her but he thought he'd save that for later.
"Uhhh.." Wei Ying bit his lip struggling to think of an excuse. "Oh! where's Jiang Cheng?!" Wei Ying smiled brightly at his sister.
How could one be so energetic after being in a 16 year coma..? Wen Qing thought to herself.
Why must I even ask? She smiles to herself
"Chengcheng is in his room, we can go see him A-Xian wants." Yanli smiles
"Miss Wen let's go!" Wei Ying trialed behind his older sister with the brightest smile on his face while Wen Qing followed cautiously.
"Shidi, Shidi guess who's here!" Wei Ying cheefuly smiled.
"What..?" Jiang Wangyi got up from where he was sitting recognizing the cheerful voice trying to control his emotions.
"Cheng? what's wrong, are you not happy to see me?" Wei Ying pouted teasingly.
Jiang Cheng unleashed Sandu and pointed it at Wei yings throat.
"Cheng..?" Wei Ying frowned not expecting this from his brother, he inched closer but that only made Jiang Cheng move Sandu closer to Wei Yings throat.
While two women both with shocked faces stared at the scene, Yanli was staring in disbelief and worry while Wen Qing was frozen questioning whether she should step in or not.
"Jiang Cheng.?" Wei Ying locked eyes with Jiang Cheng his eyebrows furrowed before slowly stepping back bumping into the two woman behind him.
"You.." His voice hallow and shakey "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! Coming into my room without permission" He yells sending chills down everyone's spine, He didn't even notice the two woman
"Nobody can call me that other than my siblings.."
"You think you're special huh? HOW SHAMELESS AND DISRESPECTFUL!" Jiang cheng walked slowly to Wei ying
"YOU-" He was cut off
"A-CHENG STOP!" Yanli got out from the shadows and faced him pushing Wei ying out of the way.
Wen Qing felt kind of awkward being in the middle of sibling drama, it was quite awkward.
"Shije!?" He was shocked and surprised stumbling on his words he managed to say "I-I didn't notice your w-were here!"
"Wei Ying.. come.." Yanli said calmly
Wei Ying smiled Akwardly blinking his eyes slowly walking towards Yanli
Jiang Cheng was frozen in utter shock dropping his sword when the name "Wei Ying" had played out in his brain for the third time
"Wei..wei, YING?!" he shouted
"Yes that's me! Dont wear it out!" Wei ying smiled
"I..I.." Jiang Cheng speed walked to Wei Ying hugging him tight crying his eyes out, it was as if his wailing was telling a story of pure agony, regret, and angst.
Wei ying rose his arms up to grasp onto Jiang Chengs back to hold him as he bawled on Wei Yings shoulder, Yanli nor Wen qing had ever seen Jiang Cheng cry so much. Usually he was always so full of himself and thought soe highly of himself always positive-ish.
But terrible when emotions were involved, he took mostly after his mothers personality which came to his downfall.
The sudden hit of this news unleashed a wave of emotions wild. Jiang Cheng pushed away from Wei Ying looking all teary eyed at Wei Ying.
Sudden thoughts of anger unleashed in Jiang Cheng's mind, he tried to keep those emotions locked in a cage not wanting to take them out on Wei Ying because he was also to blame.
"Sorry to interrupt.. But I'll be taking my leave now, I must go find my brother Ning. I want to see if he's still at the place he said he'd be." Wen Qing bowed her voice soft waiting for a response.
The other's turned to Wen Qing there was nothing but silence upon the four.
"..."
"Thank you Wen Qing, Thank you for taking care of our A-Xian. Thank you for never giving up on him, you don't know how much we thank you and appreciate you for all you've done for our family." Yanli dipped her head.
"Thank you.." Jiang Cheng mumbled looking away still clinging onto his brother.
"Huh?" Wei Ying was confused.
"Dont worry about it A-Xian, we'll talk later.."
"Shijeee! Come on don't treat me like this." He pouted
"I want to know! I deserve to kno- Ouch ouch ouch!" Wei Ying yelped trying to pull away from Jiang Chengs grasp.
Jiang Cheng was pinching Wei Ying ear awfully aggressive.
"Cut it out later means later!"
"Oh A-Cheng please don't be so harsh he's only three!"
Wen Qing smiled slightly and took this as a chance to scurry away off to find her brother Ning.
"Arggghh! let me gooo!" Wei ying loud mouthed.
Jiang Cheng finally released Wei Ying's ear, giving him a stern look. "You need to learn patience, Wei Ying. We will tell you later, but for now, you have to trust us."
Wei Ying pouted, rubbing his ear. "But I want to know now! It's not fair!"
Jiang Yanli walked over to them, placing a comforting hand on Wei Ying's shoulder. "I understand your excitement, but sometimes it's important to wait for the right time. We promise we'll tell you everything soon."
Wei Ying sighed, his frustration easing a little. "Fine. But make sure you tell me as soon as possible!"
Jiang Cheng nodded, his expression softening. " Whatever you spoilt man toddler. Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes "We won't keep waiting you in the dark for long."
With that, Wei Ying reluctantly let go of his impatience and decided to trust his loved ones. He knew they had his best interests at heart and would reveal the information when the time was right.
Wei Ying clutched his stomach as his stomach let out a harsh growl making Wei Ying suck his stomach in.
Jiang Cheng covered his mouth trying not to burst into endless laughter but failed when he looked at Wei Yings cheecks filled with red,l and not to mention the awkward smile on his face just had Jiang Cheng on the floor laughing
"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA!" Jiang Cheng was bent over on the floor banging on the floor snickering and snorting, it wouldn't be a surprise if he was to die laughing.
Jiang Yanli couldn't help but chuckle a little, laugher is a very contagious thing after all.
"Stop laughing at me it isn't funny!" Soon that though had changed.
Wei Ying couldn't help but join in the laughter, his embarrassment fading away as he saw how genuinely amused Jiang Cheng was. They laughed together, their voices echoing through the room, until tears rolled down their cheeks.
Finally, Jiang Cheng managed to compose himself, catching his breath as he wiped the tears from his eyes. "You really know how to lighten the mood, don't you?" he said, his voice still laced with amusement.
Wei Ying grinned sheepishly, his cheeks still tinged with red. "Well, what are brothers for if not to make fun of each other?"
Jiang Cheng chuckled, shaking his head. "You're impossible, Wei Ying. But I wouldn't have it any other way."
Attempt the impossible.. Yanli said to herself
They shared a moment of understanding, their laughter fading into a comfortable silence. It was in these moments that Wei Ying realized just how lucky he was to have Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli, siblings who could bring him joy even in the darkest of times.
As they made their way out of the room, Wei Ying's stomach growled again, reminding them both of their earlier amusement. Jiang Cheng smirked mischievously. "Looks like you're not the only one hungry, huh?"
Wei Ying mock scowled at him, but couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, enough teasing. Let's go get something to eat. Maybe we can find something to satisfy this growling beast," he said, patting his stomach playfully.
Jiang Cheng nodded, the teasing glint still in his eyes. "Lead the way, Wei Ying. But don't blame me if I can't stop laughing at your 'embarrased' face."
"What about my infamous Lotus rib and pork soup?" Yanli frowned "I wouldn't mind making some!"
"Nooo you cook way to much, you need a break!" Wei Ying protested
"Awhh A-Xian.."
Wei Ying chuckled, feeling a warmth fill his heart. They walked side by side, their laughter and banter filling the air, knowing that no matter what challenges they faced, they would always have each other.
It was like they were never separated.
