OUR HAPPILY EVER AFTER (A WANGXIAN STORY)
Chapter 14
(Two and a half years ago...)
It had just rained. The afternoon was filled with a cool breeze and the sweet smell of earth. Wei Ying would have loved to sleep in with Lan Wangji and cuddle but his husband was busy, so he decided to visit Wen Ning and Sizhui tagged along. Some weeks ago Wen Ning had asked for a favour. "I want to be more human, and be able to do things normal men do.", was what he said and Wei Ying thought it reasonable. After all, his initial plan was to help Wen Ning live a normal life. Since he was free today, he thought he would slap some talisman on the Ghost general. It would make him weak but at least it would be for a good cause.
The first thing to greet them when they entered the compound was the aroma of something delicious. Wei Ying and Sizhui sniffed the air proudly as their bellies started to grumble. "Sizhui, I think we came at the right time.", Wei Ying said as he brushed the tip of his nose with his finger. "Mn" Sizhui replied with a smile.
"Hurry, he must be in the kitchen." Wei Ying quickened his steps. He wanted more spices in whatever the Ghost general was preparing and Sizhui followed hopping to stop him. "Oh, sorry..." The boy bumped into Wei Ying when he suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?" Sizhui asked as he moved aside. He shook his senior gently when he noticed the other's mouth was wide open, with an excited look on his face; like he had seen a chest full of gold. Curious, the boy also looked in that direction. He quickly covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing.
"A' Yuan are we both seeing the same thing?", Wei Ying lowered his voice. "I think we are..." The boy replied with his hand still over his lips. "Is this what your uncle meant by 'things normal men do?'" Wei Ying gasped, feeling his own face turn pink from his lewd thoughts. "Wh...What?" Lan Sizhui was also having the same indecent thoughts and blushed like the other.
Over at the open kitchen area was Wen Ning cooking, with Jiayi right behind him. The former scooped out some of the food with a ladle, blew on it clumsily and sent it toward the smiling female. She also welcomed the contents into her mouth. "Ouch!...", Jiayi touched her lips in pretence and Wen Ning panicked. "Are you alright..." The man drew closer innocently, trying to comfort her and she took that as an opportunity to peck him on the lips. Wen Ning smiled lightly, looking downwards as Jiayi giggled and laughed at him.
Wei Ying slowly backed up, grabbing the junior by the hand till they made it to the main entrance again.
Wei Ying, "Yes! Sizhui, you're getting an Aunt... A total badass at that."
"Finally!", Sizhui threw courtesy to the wind and did a victory dance with Wei Ying, jumping and bumping fists while trying to keep their voice on the low. "Come, lets celebrate with some wine.", Wei Ying grinned from ear to ear.
Sizhui, "Senior Wei, I'm not suppose to drink, Hanguanjun will..."
Wei Ying, "Aish! Forget little fuddy-duddy. You're not allowed to drink in the 'Cloud Recesses'... We are 'Not' at the Cloud Recesses... Kid, you don't want to be helpless like your Hanguanjun when he drinks. I have to toughen you up now. You're drinking and that's final!". He draped his hand over Sizhui's shoulder.
Sizhui, "Mn...Will we come back?"
Wei Ying, "Of course! I wouldn't miss a chance to eat your Uncle's food...". The two walked out feeling excited.
Indeed they did come back just in time to eat. Sizhui was drunk and Wei Ying had to constantly direct him on where to use a spoon and when to pick up a chopstick. Wei Ying chuckled in a silly way as Wen Ning and Jiayi starred at the two. He did not want to explain the situation at all. 'Damn it Kid, get yourself together...At least you were able to take five cups before getting drunk. You'll level up in no time.', He thought, feeling proud of the boy.
After they were done, Wei Ying put Sizhui to bed in one of the rooms. It would be best to let him rest before going back, he reasoned. Wei Ying then joined Jiayi and Wen Ning to share a few more drinks. There was an awkward silence as he starred at the two, trying his best not to laugh and scream that he had seem them get all lovey-dovey. Soon Jiayi broke the silence.
Jiayi, "Wei Ying... There is something you should know... A few months ago I found out that we may be related."
Wei Ying sat upright and pursed his lips in anticipation. "I told you I was looking for someone when you found me some months ago. That person is my younger martial brother, Xiao Xingchen."
Wei Ying's brow furrowed as he listened. "Last time I saw him, he came with a wounded friend and offered his eyes for that person... I left home to come find him but I was too late... Song Lan told me what you did for them. Thank You." Jiayi spoke with all seriousness.
Wei Ying, "You mean...You also studied under my grandmother?". Jiayi nodded. "And I guess you also cant take me to her?". Again, Jiayi nodded. Wei Ying forced a smile, "Does that mean I have to call you aunt from now on?"
"No, you can call me jie.", Xiao Jiayi answered. She took a quick glance at Wen Ning, then back at Wei Ying with a settling smile.

(Present Day...)
Jiayi sighed, "Fine...But I cant do this, I will definitely kill you if I try it... However, there is one person I know can help you...Your Martial Grandmother, Baoshen Sanren."
"Baoshen Sanren?"...Wei Ying said softly, already feeling exhausted. Finding his grandmother seemed like an impossible task...
Jiayi, "I know I said I cant lead you to her, I can only show you the way... But its a journey you'd have to take alone.
Wei Ying, "..."
Jiayi, "Your grandmother's sect is in a hidden world...I will give you something to guide you but you must do exactly what I say."
Wei Ying, "When can I leave...?"
Jiayi, "Whenever you're ready..."
After things were settled, Wei Ying went back home with mixed feelings. He knew he was about to hurt Lan Wangji again but he also saw no other alternative. It was either this or letting himself drown in guilt. In the next few days he would cling to his husband like his life depended on it and although it made Lan Wangji a little more happy, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something wrong with his Wei Ying.
A week later,
Lan Wangji and Wei Ying went to the Lanling Jin Sect with some of the juniors per an invitation from its young sect leader, Jing Rulan. Jing Ling had received some disturbance about hunters disappearing in the forests. Some say the trees moved and ate the men, others said it was a beast man doing the killing, either ways no body had been found and Jin Ling asked his Uncle for help. Wei Ying convinced Lan Wangji to come along by acting all needy and pouty till the other could not refuse.
When they got to the premises, Wei Ying felt a little heavy. Lan Wangji squeezed his hand, checking if he wanted to be carried up. "Don't be silly, I have legs..." Wei Ying laughed. After they were given their rooms and some time to freshen up, they were called to the banquet hall.
As they sat down to finish their dinner, Zizhen also arrived and took his seat beside Lan Sizhui. He noticed Lan Jingyi had his face buried in his food with a noticeable frown. He chuckled silently to himself, thinking of how awkward it must be for the two when he looked up and saw Jing Ling giving the other a death stare.
Jing Ling briefed his guests on the current situation in a proper manner and openly asked for aid from Hanguanjun and Wei Wuxian. The couple accepted and then excused themselves after some time. Wei Ying was fidgeting in his seat and would pull on the hem of Wangji's robes. "Let's go to bed early." Wei Ying finally leaned in and said to Wangji. So they left to their room.
Immediately Wangji entered Wei Ying peeked outside for the last time then closed the door. He bit his hand and drew on a piece of paper with his blood, then slammed it on the door before jumping on his husband.
"Wei Ying...Wait, lets take a bath first.", Lan Wangji caught him. Wei Ying wrapped his legs around Wangji's waist and refused to get down; answering in a seductive tone, "No, I want you just like this... Besides, we already took a bath before dinner...Cant wait.", Wei Ying kissed and bit on Wangji's neck-making the other moan. "Don't worry, no one will come, and no one can hear us because of the talisman... I want to hear you moan loud and clear." Wei Ying slid his hand through Wangji's robe then kissed him passionately when he found his nipple. "Hmmm, Wei Ying..." Wangji's breathing became fast. He walked toward the bed holding and squeezing his husband's body.
On the other hand, Jing Ling paced in front of Jingyi's room conflicted on whether to call him out or not. He finally got the courage and knocked on his door and after sometime, someone opened it. "Huh... What are you doing here?" He got startled by Zizhen who looked at him with a wicked grin. Without warning he was pulled into the room.
"Great, he's also here now...", Lan Jingyi looked at him with a frown. "Jingyi, be nice to our host." Sizhui scolded him. "Master Jing, come join us." Lan Yong said with a smile. In his heart he was scared Jing Ling would report them but Zizhen just motioned him to calm down. They pulled the host down beside Lan Yong and offered him a cup.
Jing Ling,"I thought you were not allowed to drink..."
Jingyi, "Told you he would be a party pooper...". Zizhen laughed, he was already tipsy and so were the other Lan boys, except for Sizhui who had learnt to drink from his other dad. Zizhen laughed, "Jing Ling, just try and enjoy yourself... How about we play a game." he threw some nuts into his mouth.
Lan LiMin, "What game?"
Zizhen, "A drinking game...How about finger guessing?"
"Nahhhh, too hard. We're already tipsy." The Lan boys protested.
Zizhen, "Okay fine, then lets play 'gong show'. Someone has to play an instrument as we pass an empty cup around, when the music stops, the person holding the cup has to drink. Agreed?"
The Lan boys nodded in unison. Jing Ling just sat there quietly watching the drama unfold. "Who'll play the music..." Lan Yong asked. "Me!", Jingyi raised a hand and took out his zither.
Zizhen, "Okay, begin!". Jingyi began to play a playful tune and the cup went round while the boys danced a little in their seats. When he stopped playing, Lan Yong was holding the cup and took the first drink. For the next four turns, every other person got a turn at drinking. Then the foul play began as Jingyi got a nasty idea, He would play spontaneously for a while and then stop immediately the cup landed in Jing Ling's hand. After five more drinks, Zizhen caught on and stopped him, saying, "its my turn to play".
Jingyi, "but you don't know anything about music!"
Zizhen, "Doesn't matter, its just for fun..."
Zizhen took over and played an odd tune and the game became fair again. After sometime, the others also took turns playing. Then it was Jing Ling's turn to play. Of course he also made sure to take revenge on Jingyi. After three hours of merry making, the boys were completely drunk.
Zizhen, "I think I'm gonna throw up!..." Zizhen tried getting up but slumped back down.
Jing Ling's hand roamed the sky ..."Don't you dare puke in here, go out before I call the dogs on you!"
Lan Sizhui and Jingyi laughed hard. "Shhh!...They might hear us." Jingyi said.
"Don't worry, they're far away enough. Those two are probably glued together any way...Hahaha...Opps" Jing Ling covered his mouth when he got smacked by Sizhui, "Don't talk about my parents...". Lan LiMin and Lan Yong were fast asleep on the ground. "Come Zizhen, lets get you outside" Lan Sizhui helped his friend up and they stepped out of the room.
With the two gone, the only ones awake were Lan Jingyi and Jing Ling. They sat across each other, starring intensely. "Stop looking at me..." Jingyi slurred and burped. Jing Rulan chuckled. "Hey Jingyi, how about one more game? Bet I can easily win.." The latter said with a goofy smile on his face. "Hmp! As if I'd let that happen...Bring it on brat." Jingyi replied with a frown.
