"Yummy, I haven't had these in like forever.", Wei Ying kept shoving food into his mouth. The Wen siblings kept a close watch, letting him have anything he wanted.

After stuffing himself, he insists on going to Wen Ning's room. The omega jumped on the bed half the size his own at the Phoenix hall and hugs the pillow.

" A'Ning, your pheromones are so gentle. It's a shame I can't enjoy it like before.", he spread his limps, waiting for liquor.

Wen Qing examined Wei Ying's behaviours as they shared a drink. The omega gave incomplete answers and avoided the rest by trying to change the topic.

" That's a beautiful flute, where did you buy it?", this enquiry made Wei Ying go cold again.

"I'll tell you later.", he used the same excuse.

"You can tell me now.", Wen Qing forced a small grin to make her interrogation look casual. 

"Wen Qing, all these questions hurt my head...instead of pestering me with them, why not tell me what I missed. Surely something interesting must have happened.", the omega cups his face, supporting himself by the elbows.

Wen Qing contemplates on whether talking about his family would have a positive impact or not, considering how unstable her friend behaved.

"Wei Ying...I'll tell you everything if you promise to answer all my questions."

"Pfff! You never change. Fine, but you only get to ask three questions.", Wei Ying sat up and gulped down his drink.

Wen Qing was used to the lotus giving in to her demands and she didnt expect him to give her conditions as well. After taking a glance at her brother, she proceeds to tell Wei Ying every good and heartbreaking event that occurred while he was away. Her shoulders sink when she mentions Jiang Yanli and how she had been avoiding her because there was no news of his whereabouts. Madam Yu was still putting pressure on Wen Ruohan by manipulating public opinions of him. Sect Leader Jiang allowed her as usual.

When Wen Qing mentions Lan Wangji, Wei Ying stiffens with a glare but she does not cower this time.
"Lan Wangji is locked up?...let me guess, it's because of that confession isn't it. Haha! Qinghenjun must have been pissed.", Wei Ying snickers then sighs.

Wen Ning, "Sect Leader Lan did not only lock his son up...Hanguanjun received lashes from the sacred whip."

"...Wow, that must have... been something.", Wei Ying's jeering seemed to die down.

Wen Qing, "The videos of that day were taken off the internet but I have a copy..."

"Video?...", the lotus inclined his head, with little signs of curiosity.

"Yes, Sect Leader Lan made sure the whole world could see it...", Wen Ning chipped in.

Wen Qing, "Now that I've said what I know, here comes my question. What happened to you at the burial mounds?"

"...", Wei Ying hooked a finger on his lips with his gaze on the drinks and grilled meat on the table.

Wen Qing carried on "How did you get out of that forbidden place."

"..."

Wen Qing, "Who gave you that flute?"

"..."

"Wei Wuxian!", She snaps the omega out of his trance.

"I want to see the video...I'll tell you what you want to hear but first let me see it.", the omega's says in a serious tone.
