SC1 - Test of Huiyi

Wahhh!!!

Jin Ling spat out the tea he just drank when he heard a child crying. He coughed and patted his chest. "What the–" He was about to curse when Jiang Yanli slapped his arm. "Niang!" He whined.

"A-Yu will hear you."

He wiped his mouth and turned his head to see the little child who was wiping his teary eyes.

"What happened again this time?" He asked the child's attendant sounding aggravated being disturbed from his tea time with his mother.

"A-Ling, your tone." Jiang Yanli scolded him. She stood and carried the child while patting his back. "What's wrong, A-Yu?"

"Grandma, Hen-gege doesn't want to play with me."

Jin Ling almost rolled his eyes when his mother threw him a glare. He blinked his eyes and poured another cup of tea.

"I told you so many times that you cannot disturb Zihen because he needs to study." Jin Ling told him using his most calming tone. As much as he wanted to scold the child, his mother forbid him, saying children can be disciplined in a calm manner.

The child turned and reached for him. Jin Ling put down his tea cup and took the boy, allowing him to sit on his lap. He wiped the tears that's still staining the boy's eyes.

"But Hen-gege always study. When can I play with him?"

"I'll ask his father to play on weekend."

"Really, Die-Die?"

Jin Ling poked the child's nose. "Yes."

He might not be the best father but Jin Ling was giving his best in raising his and Lan Sizhui's two year old son, Jin Yu. The boy had the phoenix eyes like him but in one look, nobody would say he was his child because he looks like his husband. Even Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng and Wen Ning said that Jin Yu looked like Lan Sizhui when he was still a little boy back then.

His parents doted on his son very much and he very much like it if his parents took care of Jin Yu. With that, he could be able to have some time alone with his husband which happen seldomly because his beloved son always want Sizhui's attention whenever he is available.

Jiang Yanli, "A-Ling, A-Yuan will be back in an hour. I thought you wanted to cook dinner for your husband."

"Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding, Niang." He kissed his son's cheek and carefully gave his son to his mother. "Die-Die will just prepare our dinner. Behave with grandma, okay?"

"Yes, A-Die." Jin Yu nodded smiling wide showing his small teeth.

When Jin Ling left, Jiang Yanli took a piece of mooncake and gave it to the kid who ate it happily. Meanwhile, in Nightless City, Jingyi just finished attending to the wards where he help Maiden Wen in treating some of the patients when his daughter suddenly came running.

"A-Ying! I told you no running."

"We're not in Cloud Recesses, A-Niang!"

He frowned. "A-Niang?! You kid, who told you to call me that? Come here!"

"Later, A-Niang!"

Jingyi was about to reach for her when his attention was diverted to the attendants entering the hall tailing a little boy wearing the sun robes of the Wen Sect.

"A-Die!"

"Master Jingyi." The attendants of the boy saluted at him. He gestured them to raise their heads. "Young Master Zian wanted to watch the archery training of the junior disciples."

The junior disciples of Wen Sect are the kids aged 10-15 coming from Liu Village and others are sons of some rouge cultivators who decided to join the said sect.

"A-Die, can I go?"

Jingyi reached for his son and carried him. "The training area is dangerous for kids like you. What will Dad do if you get hurt? Let's just go to the garden. A-Die's tired. Can my Zian able to energized me?"

Zian nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, A-Die!"

Jingyi dismissed the attendants and brought his son alone to his breathing area. The Serenity Garden was outside the Serenity room. He called it his breathing area because of the fresh and fragrant air coming from the flowers that Wen Yang had struggled to grow over the past years. His mind was always at peace whenever he was there. The new version of Wen Sect continues to grow and his husband hadn't change since the day they started their relationship. Well, let's just say that he's becoming more clingy and shamelessly acting like a puppy even they were infront of their disciples. What gives him more headache was his daughter who keeps on disobeying the Lan rules and teasing HanguangJun's second son, Lan Weiji.

"Yi-gege!"

Speaking of the puppy, he saw Wen Yang walking towards them. He left early this morning to join their senior, Wei Wuxian, on a night hunting again. However, he doesn't know whether they are really hunting for an evil spirit and corpses or went to hunt some wild animals. After all, his husband seems to be holding something again.

"Baba!"

Wen Yang smiled widely as he saw his son sitting on Jingyi's lap. He raised his other hand which holds a couple of live fishes. Jingyi wanted to slapped his face. The other day, his husband went on night hunting with Wei Wuxian too but when he went home, he brought back two pigeons with him. He said he caught it during the night hunting. He wanted to raise his brows and question him but he just kept it to himself.

"Baba, are you going to cook steam fish?"

"You want steam fish?"

"No. I want grilled fish."

"Then grilled fish it is." Wen Yang walked closer to them and using his other hand, he covered his son's eye and stole a kiss from Jingyi who was taken aback. Taking advantage, he bit his ear and whispered, "Sweet. Wanna eat you now."

Jingyi immediately covered his son's ear who was struggling from removing Wen Yang's hand, afraid that his son might have heard his father. He glared at his naughty man but Wen Yang chuckled and walked towards the kitchen.

"A-Die, what happened? Baba covered my eyes again. Did he see a spirit again?" Zian asked innocently. He was used of his father covering his eyes but when he asked, his reason was because Wen Yang saw a spirit lurking and he doesn't want his son to see it. But the next thing he notice was his Dad's red face. He thought that his Dad just got scared so he comfort him saying, "Don't be scared, A-Die. Next time, you close your eyes too so you won't see such unpleasant thing. Baba can't cover your eyes because his other hand was occupied."

Jingyi just bit his lower lip. 'If you only knew, son. If you only knew.' He told himself.
