I'll Fix Everything | Wangxian

Chapter sixty-three

Wei Ying began to play, sighs of relief filling the room despite the shill tune as the resentful energy began to pour out of the disciples.

The resentful every twirled in the air, manipulated it followed his sound, getting closer and closer until it began to pour into him making him whimper.

Lan Zhan squeezed his brother's hand, listening to Wei Ying struggle to accept resentful energy once more.

Yanli and Wen Qing held him tighter, their hearts racing and aching as he trembled, eyebrows furrowed he struggled to play.

However, seconds later his spiritual energy rejected the corrupting intrusion, sending it back out with a collection of blood.

Yanli gasped, "A-Xian!" She wailed, bringing him close she dabbed the blood away as Wei Ying coughed, clutching his chest with his eyes squeezed shut.

The resentful energy circled the room angrily like a tornado before flying back into the disciples.

Wei Ying whined, whimpering as his body throbbed sorely, "I-I'm o-okay..." He stammered, "J-Just... I'm not used to it..."

Wen Qing tutted, kissing his temple, "Poor baby..." She cooed, massaging his aching chest, "You have to lower your spiritual energy sweetheart..." She sighed softly.

Wei Ying pouted, nodding, he closed his eyes and sealed his core before trying again.

This was a lot easier with family around and minutes later, he had taken in the first round of spiritual energy.

Jiang Cheng gulped, taking the disciples out to regenerate as Yanli and Wen Qing babied Wei Ying, "You're so good, A-Xian..." Yanli giggled, pecking his nose.

Wei Ying's eyes fluttered tiredly, but he had the strength to smile nonetheless, "T-Thank you Shije..." He murmured, leaning into Wen Qing and closing his eyes.

Wen Qing jutted out her bottom lip, stroking his hair, "Rest, A-Ying..." She kissed his forehead, "We'll be here when you wake up..."

Wei Ying smiled, calm, content, well as content as he could be, he began to sleep.

***

He woke up from his nap a few hours later, wrapped in a tight hug, against a solid chest he smiled softly at the scent of Lotuses and ocean, "A-Cheng..." He murmured, snuggling closer.

Jiang Cheng smiled, rubbing his back, "Welcome back to the land of the living Shixiong!" He teased, making Wei Ying giggle quietly.

"T-Thank you for your h-humble greeting..." Wei Ying teased back.

Jiang Cheng's heart ached with relief, his Shixiong finally seemed like himself again, even just a little bit.

Wei Ying sighed, turning over to face the ceiling before shooting up, "A-Cheng," He smiled, feeling energized for the first time in so long, even if he had taken in a tortuous amount of resentful energy, "Let's go swimming!"

Jiang Cheng chuckled, "You want to swim?" He frowned, sitting up beside him.

Wei Ying smiled nodding as he stood and began to strip down to his last layer, then, running out, making Jiang Cheng gasp and run after him, stripping along the way leaving a trail of clothes behind.

Wei Ying giggled, squealing as Jiang Cheng ran after him, "Y-You'll never catch me!" He cheered, leaping into the water, followed by Jiang Cheng and a loud splash.

When he reached the surface again, Wei Ying was smiling, sane, like he hadn't been in days, "Haha!" He pointed, clutching his stomach as Jiang Cheng swam toward him, "You're soaking wet now!"

Jiang Cheng couldn't fight back his wide smile, he rolled his eyes, "Yes well done." He chuckled, sighing, "What now?"

Wei Ying hummed, tapping his chin, "Eat Lotus Pods!" He cheered, swimming away to get some, "A-And then race a-and then see who can find the m-most seashells!"

Jiang Cheng smiled, following Wei Ying the two spent their time having fun.

Wei Ying hummed, content as he munched on Lotus Pods, "H-hey A-Cheng!" He giggled turning to him, "Catch this with your mouth!"

Jiang Cheng snorted, opening his mouth as Wei Ying threw a Lotus Pod at him, he caught it.

Wei Ying clapped his hands, "You did it!" He grinned, going back to munching he threw some in the air, catching them with his mouth just like Jiang Cheng until he was full.

When he was, he stretched, kicking his legs to stay afloat, "A-Cheng..." He called, pouting.

Jiang Cheng swam closer, "What is it?" He questioned, throwing a handful of empty Lotus Pod skin aside.

Wei Ying pursed his lips, "Do..." He gulped, looking away, "Do you all... ayah... does it bother you that... I was... you know.... Again?"

Jiang Cheng's smile fell, turning to his brother his heart broke, "Shixiong no." He said sternly, gripping Wei Ying by his hips he turned his brother to face him, pulling him into a hug, "The only thing that bothers me i-is that w-we failed you again..." He whispered, his voice breaking.

Wei Ying sniffed, tucking his face in Jiang Cheng's neck, "It's okay..."

Jiang Cheng clenched his jaw, "Shixiong. It is not okay." His voice trembled, "It is not. okay. That we were careless and as a result, you... you were assaulted. It is NOT okay that we dragged you back to the Burial Mounds... and it is not okay that you are not angry."

Wei Ying whimpered, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Cheng sighed, hugging him tighter, "Shixiong... I don't understand how you're not furious... we said we would protect you... we promised it... then we dragged you back there unwilling and let you go."

Wei Ying sobbed softly, "A-A-Cheng... I'm not angry because angry only makes it worse. I know you love me, and I know you will try your very best from now on... I'm okay, A-Cheng... right now, I am okay..."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, nuzzling his nose on Wei Ying's shoulder, I love you, Shixiong." He whispered.

Wei Ying smiled, humming, "I love you too."

***

That night, after bathing, Wei Ying crawled into bed with Jiang Cheng, hugged so tight nothing could get to him.

He smiled softly, sighing in comfort as he closed his eyes, "A-Cheng?" He called.

Jiang Cheng smiled softly, "What is it, Shixiong?"

Wei Ying nuzzled closer, "When are we fighting the Wen clan? They haven't done anything to warrant death yet."

Jiang Cheng shrugged, "Dunno," He murmured, "Sooner or later they'll do something despicable and then we can join the battle, until then, you just gather your strength and don't worry, mn?"

Wei Ying chuckled, nodding, "Okay, Chengcheng..."

Everything would be okay, at some point, the Wen clan will do something evil and the war will begin but Wei Ying won't lose everybody again. Never again.

This would all be over soon, they would defeat the Wen clan, destroy the Stygian Tiger Amulet, and rest while Lan Xichen sorts out an investigation for whoever wanted Jin Zixuan dead and framed him.

But that wasn't for him to worry about, once the Wen clan fell... he could rest.

Wei Ying sighed.

"Goodnight Chengcheng..."

Jiang Cheng smiled, cupping the back of Wei Ying's head, "Goodnight Shixong..."
