Nie mingjue POV

I open my eyes and looked around, I was in my quarters, as I sat up groaning, I heard tiny feet running then huaisang bursting into the room bawling his eyes out 'it was a dream, wasn't it?'

"Da-ge!!" He was squeezing me and I hugged back, then I remembered what happened, after we shook her hand and signed the papers a bright light flashed now here we are, pleiadis?, was the name she put on the paper

'What a weird name'

We got all causes of the hell hole we went through, I pull away getting a good look at huaisang he looked around 7-10ish, then I heard few other pairs of feet coming towards the room

"A-Ming!!" Madam nie said frantically as she ran over to the bed side collapsing next to huaisang

"You gave us a scare nie mingjue" father said leaning into the door frame then walked in ruffling my hair a bit

"What happened" I was wrapping my head around what was happening and then I noticed the bandages wrapped around my head 'what the, this didn't happen last time'

"You were training the disciples then out of nowhere a disciple had a qi detonation" father went on explaining "they went on a rampage injuring some of the other's and unfortunately a-sang was near by" my father looked displeased

"But before the disciple was able to attack him, you shielded him and got hit on the side of the head pretty hard and before the disciple could go on you knocked him out,.....then you went down yourself" she held my hand along with a-sang, she started crying "you were out for 3 days straight"

I hugged her along with huaisang she was suprised but hugged back a few seconds later

*sniff*,"anyways" she wiped her eyes after pulling away "how do you feel?"

"I feel okay just a slight headache" I was lying, I felt like my head was splitting into two, but I didn't want to worry her

"Okay, just rest a little more, I'll get the healer" she got up dusting her robes before leaving with father arms linked

After they left it was just me and huaisang "a-sang'

"Hmm?" he looked up at me

"Do you remember?" I asked in a serious tone looking at the door waiting for the healer

".....yeah" he looked back down

"Do you know what time line we're in?"

"Mhm, I turned 8 about 2 weeks ago so your 13 right now" he answered, "I got here a few minutes before you were knocked out" he mumbled the last part

"Oh" before we could continue there was a knock at the door "come in"

The door opened and two people walked in, my heart skipped a beat when I laid eyes on the short girl, they both bowed deeply, "Hello, young master nie, and second young master nie" it was the healer and her daughter

"Hello zhong-(bell) ping, zhong yueliang-(moon)" me and a-sang bowed back while greeting them I kept my face neutral as best as I could

"No need young masters, but second young master please go into the other room while we check on your brother, okay?" ping said as she went down to huaisang height saying in a sweet yet firm voice

"O-okay" he turned towards me, gave me a quick hug then ran off

"A-yue can you take his bandages off" zhong ping asked yueliang

Zhong Yueliang was only a year younger than me and we knew eachother since we were 4-5, she was my best friend, she was usually the one who helps me when I got hurt, whether it was during training or during a night hunt, I felt my cheeks heat up a bit when she came over to take my bandages off, why does this always happen was I sick or something

(We love the dumb/dense ones, why?, we may never know)

"H-how are you young master" yueliang asked sitting on the edge of the bed

"A-yue you know I don't like formalities"

'Especially with you'

She had long dark hair and amber eyes, she was around 5'1-5'2, and very beaut-, *cough*, she was always there by my side that was until the attack on the sect, she died during the massacre she was trying to hide with some of the elders and other healers but those damn wen dogs, they didn't care who you were, I was in deep thought that I didn't know my hands were balling into fists until a-yue spoke up

"Youn-, mingjue are you okay, what's on your mind" her voice was sweet like honey

(They both had a light blush on)

Ping rolled her eyes this was hard to watch the two dancing around there feelings

Ping had long light brown hair and amber eyes, she was a woman in her early 30's but looked like she was in her 20's

"Huh, oh uh, y-yes, yes, I'm alright" why was I stuttering

"A-alright, a-niang how does it look?" ping came over and looked it over moving my hair

"Hmm, the stitches are holding and the bleeding stopped, you're a lucky fellow, I believe we can take them out in few days, it will leave a scar but it won't be visible, now you must keep resting, you can get out of bed but don't strain yourself" ping said firm with her word

"Yes I will, thank you zhong ping" I gave a small bow while sitting on my bed

"A-yue" she turned towards her with a serious look

"Yes, a-niang" a-yue looked up at her mother

"You'll be staying with young master nie for the next few days to change the bandages and to make sure he doesn't over due it"

'Hey, I'm not that reckless' I thought as I watch what was happening

"Yes, a-niang" a-yue bowed to zhong ping

"Okay, I'll be back in the evening" she started packing her supplies "a-yue reapply the ointment and rewrap his head" and with that she left, a few moments pass and we heard little foot falls down the hallway

"Da-ge, da-ge" huaisang came bursting into the room again hopping onto the foot of the bed

"Hello, a-sang" a-yue gave huaisang a smile

"Hello, shiejie" huaisang crawled over to us and sat next to me "what are you doing?"

"I'm fixing your da-ge's boo boo" as she said this she handed me a cup "drink it, it has a pain killer inside" she finished wrapping my head the started putting away her supplies away

"Does it hurt" a-sang asked coming closer lightly touching it

"Just a little" I downed the liquid "blegh" it tasted nasty I heard a small chuckle from a-yue

"Shiejie" huaisang turned towards a-yue with his cheeks puffed out

'Isn't he a grown ass man, yet he still acts like a kid',*sigh*

"Hmm" she turned toward huaisang after putting everything away

"Can you kiss da-ge's boo boo" he had puppy eyes on

".......huh?"

"WHAT!!!''
