Very briefly proofread lol


Wei Ying sat opposite Lan Zhan, eating his extremely spicy bowl making his mouth burn.

He always went for the spiciest food even if it hurt because nobody else would, that food was guaranteed to always be his and with his past of homelessness and abuse from Madam Yu, he'd take what he can get.

-Jiang Fengman sputtered, "Wait you don't like spicy food?!" He exclaimed in shock.

-Wei Ying gulped, "I-I do... I do like it j-just... the level of spice I like is always t-taken- b-but that's okay!!" He panicked.

-Jiang Yanli's lips trembled with the weight of her failure, "Xianxian..." She sighed.

Wei Ying smiled, eating his lunch as A-Yuan ran around, playing with the butterflies Lan Zhan had bought him, "Xian-gege Rich-gege look!" He wailed happily, holding out two butterflies, "They're in love!"

Wei Ying giggled, meeting Lan Zhan's eyes who smiled.

My heart can't take all of this! He cried internally, melting at the sweetness.

A-Yuan looked from Lan Zhan to Wei Ying, from Lan Zhan, to Wei Ying, before laughing, "This butterfly is Xian-gege!" He waved it around, "And this one is Rich-gege!"

Wei Ying's smile fell, blushing red much like Lan Zhan's ears, "H-Huh?!" He squeaked, lifting up his liquor to hide behind, "W-Where do you g-get such ideas from A-Yuan?!" He scolded.

A-Yuan just giggled, continuing to fly the butterflies around and make them kiss.

A-YUAN!!!!! Wei Ying screamed inside, Why must you do this...

Lan Zhan hid his smirk behind his teacup, feeling able to breathe for the first time in weeks, since that fateful night in the rain.

A-Yuan giggled, lifting the Wangxian butterflies up to Lan Zhan's face, flying them around his head.

Lan Zhan grinned.

Wei Ying sighed, "A-Yuan, you're bothering him, come here." He ordered, holding out his hand for A-Yuan to take.

A-Yuan pouted, shaking his head he climbed onto Lan Zhan's lap and hugged his neck, "No I don't want to I don't want to!" He whined, snuggling close to his new gege.

Wei Ying tutted, "A-Yuan-"

"It's fine." Lan Zhan smiled softly, arm wrapping around A-Yuan's waist.

Wei Ying froze, eyes trained on the smile like sunlight over snow, before he chuckled, "Wow A-Yuan, you've changed, now you'll swoon for anyone who buys you things," He huffed, scrunching his nose just because I'm poor!

It was then that A-Yuan's dish arrived, and so he finally left Lan Zhan's embrace and began to eat, humming in satisfaction making Wei Ying smile.

I'm sorry A-Yuan... I'm sorry that you can't eat so well every day...

I wonder if there is more I can do to make money... Wei Ying bit his lip, But what can make so much money that I can feed everyone?

Prostit- no... who would want this?

Wei Ying squeezed his eyes shut as those watching and listening in, gasped in horror.
