Chapter 14

A/N: Hello hello hello!!

I'm alive! (Barely)

How is everyone doing?? I'm so sorry I've been away for so long!  Life has been so mean to me lately. Annoyingly mean

I've had writers block for weeks... and it's currently 5:30AM so I deeply apologize if this is all over the place

We're reaching the angst-ier parts of the story so this is more like a filler?

I hope you guys like it!

First thing that Wei Wuxian registered as he woke up was the blinding pain at the back of his head, his futile attempts to sit up went astray as he felt several hands approaching his,

"Hey hey slow down, you'll pull something again"

The pure instinct of panic was washed away as soon as he registered his brother's voice next to him, gently smoothing away the instant flight or fight instincts that grew higher.

Slowly blinking his tired eyes open, the first person he came in contact with was his worried brother, and a quick scan a around the room assured him that his brother was in fact right next to him along with their parents. Their fathers wore faces of anger and worry while their mothers were showing signs of worry rather than the visibly boiling anger that threatened to overflow,

"A-Ying"

The moment Jiang Cheng called his name he instantly knew he wasn't going to like whatever it was that came next,

"Do you know who they are?"

His own voice was nothing above a croak, but watching his brother shake his head bubbled the disappointment pooling in his stomach,

"Song Lan took some of the Nies and checked it out, they were gone by the time our guys reached there"

Even through his hazy mind Wei Wuxian knew that he did some more than serious damage on the men that had attacked him to the point they would not just up and leave,

"Ge, that's not possible. Seriously it's not"

"We know. Let's see if Wen Qing can come up with something on your clothes. But you do know what this means right?"

The younger knew he was screwed the moment his parents eyes hardened behind Jiang Cheng and his brother must have seen the sour look on his face as well as the older man placed a hand on his leg,

"Something worse could've happened and surprisingly, mom made the decision not me"

Wei Wuxian slowly turned his head towards his god mother only to be met with an empty stare with her lips pulled into a grim yet a thin line,

"Yi-ma...."

He pleaded to the best of his ability, making use of his widely known puppy eyes, and yet the older woman merely shook her head sternly,

"No A-Ying. Until we find out who those people were or who sent them, you're staying home or you can go with our other option"

The younger man squinted his eyes suspiciously,

"I'm listening"

Yu Ziyuan smiled gently before walking back towards the door, pulling it open to reveal their guest behind it, effectively coaxing a pitiful groan from the injured man,

"Really? Song Lan? You're going to make Song Lan babysit me?"

Wei Changze walked towards his son, sitting next to Jiang Cheng and putting a hand on his son's leg,
