I'll Fix Everything | Wangxian

Chapter thirty-six

3/5

When Wei Ying next awoke, he found himself back on his stone and hay bed with Granny Wen and Wen Qing hovering over him, medical supplies in their hand and the younger female cursing every other word.

Her profanity made Granny Wen look a little faint and if it weren't for the blooming pain in his abdomen, he would've snickered like the little shit he is.

Wen Qing stitched his wound bit by bit, her hands almost shaking as she seethed, growling through gritted teeth like a mother protective of her cubs, "Jiang Wanyin..."

Jiang Cheng gulped.

Wei Ying winced a little at a particularly painful thread, "W-Wen Qing..." He called, eyes fluttering as they met hers.

All the anger seemed to vanish and a smile spread across her face, red around her eyes, "Wei Wuxian!" She cheered, "You're awake!"

Wei Ying smiled softly, "What happened?" He asked, unable to resist shivering adorably in delight when Granny Wen ran her fingers through his silky locks, kissing his hair.

The women smiled, shaking their heads.

Wen Qing sighed, "That purple grape stabbed you and left you to die." She snapped, shaking her head with a loud huff, "I came to check on you since you'd been gone for a fucking hour only to find you half-dead on the bloody sidewalk, I ran back here with you, you're lucky I'm amazing." She glared.

Wei Ying's mood both dampened and rose at her words, a strange combination indeed.

Jiang Cheng whimpered.

He giggled ever so slightly, "I bow to you my Lord~" He teased, squealing when she slapped his arm gently, so gently, it didn't hurt.

Jiang Cheng swallowed again.

Wen Qing laughed, shaking her head, "Naughty." She glared, pointing at him before rolling her eyes, placing the needle and thread down, "Alright, you're as good as new!" She cheered.

He really wasn't but moving on.

Wei Ying smiled, sitting up and stretching carefully, before standing, "Thank you, Wen Qing." He smiled at her, "But anyway, where is A-Yuan I promised him a trip to Caiyi town."

Wen Qing smiled, "He is probably with Uncle Four right now," She pointed to outside the cave, "Get dressed, I'll get him ready."

Wei Ying hummed, hugging Granny Wen to soothe her worries for him before leaving to get dressed as she had said, applying dark brown and black robes over his silky inner ones.

When he eventually strolled outside into the sun way too bright for his tired, bloodshot eyes, he heard Wen Yuan being gently told not to jump on him or let himself be carried for too long.

Wei Ying both smiled and frowned, A-Yuan is a child! I'm an adult who cares about me in comparison to his tiny squishy cheeks!!

Lan Zhan sighed.

Shaking his head, he laughed in amusement as Wen Yuan ran over and took his hand, walking out of the Burial Mounds with him, "Xian-gege~" He sang out, "Are we buying turnips again?" He whined.

Wei Ying sighed, pouting as he looked down at the money bag in his hand, "I suppose if I don't Wen Qing will be mad at me..." He huffed, "Hmm... but I could buy a few of both..." He smirked mischievously.
