Talking To The River

Talking to the River 17

When Wei WuXian woke up, Lan WangJi already left and his body was sore. He touched one of the bite marks at his chest. Lan WangJi truly owned his original body and made it his last night. As he thought of it, a smile formed in his lips. He got up and saw the breakfast Lan WangJi left for him. He ate as he got ready. When he dressed up and looked at himself he saw his hair was a true mess. No matter how hard he tried to tie it a pinch of his hair was determined to keep their own shape. With a small pout he gave up and exited the Jingshi. He walked towards the Lanshi where he assumed Lan WangJi would be. The morning had already passed. The disciples were dismissed for the lunch. He thought maybe Lan WangJi already left, as he scratched his hair. He was thinking of finding Lan WangJi and then his little brother. From a distance he saw Lan SiZhui and the others coming towards him. He approached them too, they probably knew where they were. Lan SiZhui noticed him first and walked towards him with a smile. Wei WuXian "Hello kids. Have Lan Zhan been lecturing you?"

When they heard him call Hanguang-Jun 'Lan Zhan', Lan SiZhui was surprised for one second and Lan JingYi grimaced. SiZhui was the first to gain his composure "Yes, Senior Wei. He just left."

Wei WuXian "Huuh, so I missed him. Well, he probably went to the Jingshi or the Library Pavilion. I'll just check the Jingshi first then. See you later kids" he waved his hand and turned his back to leave but SiZhui stopped him in a rush "Ah Senior Wei, to enter the Jingshi is forbidden even for us. It is Hanguang-Jun's private room so..."

Wei WuXian stopped in his tracks and looked at him for a second to understand what he was saying. As he was looking at Lan SiZhui he saw Wei Yang approaching them from their back and immediately got distracted "Yang! Good morning."

Wei Yang walked next to Wei WuXian and laughed slightly "Good morning? It's already the evening brother."

Wei WuXian laughed cunningly "Whenever I wake up is the morning for me"

Wei Yang shook his head but didn't respond. Then they realized the stunned disciples in front of them. Their eyes were wide, their mouth opened and closed like fishes and they were looking at them both very intensely. Wei Yang understood their confusion and wrapped his one arm around Wei WuXian. Wei WuXian was still puzzled "Hey, whats wrong? Why are you looking at us like that?"

Lan JingYi "He... he duplicated?"

Lan SiZhui spoke in a daze "Not duplicated. Is-is this... S-Senior Wei? I mean Senior Wei WuXian?"

Wei WuXian finally understood as well "Ah, yes" Looking at the still shocked disciples he smiled and pointed at himself "I'm me again!"

Lan SiZhui whispered to himself "I should've understand from his voice. But.. how is this possible"

Wei WuXian pretended not to hear "Let's head towards the Jingshi to get Lan Zhan" and started walking. Wei Yang was walking beside him but the disciples were still too dazed to think and was following them like how baby ducks follow their mother. Wei Yang couldn't help but laugh under his breath at the view.

Wei WuXian asked "Yang, when will you be leaving?"

Wei Yang "I'm thinking about leaving around 5 p.m."

Wei WuXian couldn't help but seem displeased and spoke quietly "Even though you just came back..."

Wei Yang stayed quiet for a little while. He then seemed to remember something and came closer to Wei WuXian and whispered "Brother, do you remember the songs we used to sing together?"

Wei WuXian's features seemed relax, he gently laughed "I do. You liked to be the drummer and I liked mothers guqin. We sang various songs together."
