The day I met you

Hua Cheng felt a little tug on his leg. He was walking alone decide to buy some bun for his gege since they still on their mission. Xie Lian got a prayer about a ghost that will tug other people leg at night.

Since the city is quite dangerous so the villager there think that's a ghost or corpse. Hua Cheng look at the boy face. He's scare, hungry, sad and other emotion can be seen in his eye. But he still give the best smile he can.

Hua Cheng felt like something is piercing his heart. Remembering how he was being homeless a long time ago. He can't let this little fella feels what he had too.

He lift the child up and cares for his face softly. "Hi there gege my name is Wei Ying." He say before give a bigger smile that he can to Hua Cheng.

"Urmm Hi there.. "Hua Cheng say nervously. He never handle a mortal kid before!

What if he hurt the kid?

What if the kid cry?

What if the kid suddenly passed out?

What if the kid suddenly give a tantrum?

What if the kid suddenly got hungry? No he can handle a hungry kid....

'Hua Cheng you're overthinking too much! 'He say to himself and relax a bit.

Hua Cheng had no idea what to do with the little boy and end up brought the boy back to Xie Lian.

"San Lang where did you found him? " Xie Lian ask looking at the boy in his hand. "He's so cute look at the big grey eye! "

"He look like homeless and hungry. So i take him here" he say before putting the boy down. The little boy tried to run but end up stripped by his robe. He hissing a little before smile again.

"San Lang just how can he smile like a sunshine even his eye show sorrowness. " Xie Lian look at Hua Cheng and started to lift the boy up again. Xie Lian started to lift the boy robe showing a bruises and fresh blood on his leg.

His heart tighten. He take the med on the table and stated to aid the little boy. "San Lang what do we need to do with him? "

"Gege can we adopt him? "Hua Cheng ask back. He look at Xie Lian with hope. He knew Xie Lian once think about getting a child since he saw the child bearing pill on the table.

Xie Lian give a soft smile to Hua Cheng before answering him. "If he has no parents than we can but if he has his parents we need to give him back to his parents. We can't ward him when he already have a guardian. "

Hua Cheng smile before looking at the boy. The boy look at them with his innocet face making Xie Lian smile brighter.

"San Lang can you buy him a new robe? "Xie Lian asking when he look at the boy torn and dirty robe. Hua Cheng nodded before look at the boy scanning to remember his size.

Hua Cheng got out to buy a few new clothes for the kid before they start to clean up the boy. Xie Lian will stay in the inn while Hua Cheng will investigate about the little boy with Yin Yu.

Yin Yu look at a man who look like in his late 40. There many people were concerned about them since their robe is not from Yiling and made by a great material. His stall was being crowded by passengers.

"I already saw him almost a month now here. His parents were a rough cultivator but lately i didn't even see his parents. If you don't want to buy anything you can go. "The old man say look like wasn't really into topic.

Yin Yu let out a small sigh. No one really care about the boy!

"Chengzu, do we need to continue? "He ask before getting nodded as response.

Yin Yu look at a married couple who just sitting quiet waiting for someone that passing by to buy their tanghulu.

"Excuse me Maam but may I ask a question. "Yin Yu bowing respectful to them as the old woman smile back.

"Young master ofcourse you can... May i know what is it? "The old man beside her sit as he started to taking interest in the topic.

"May this young one ask did you know about a little boy who always rumming arround here? "He ask while getting a pat on head by the old woman.

"Finally someone good want to take care of the poor boy. "She say before her husband continue.

"Ouhh the boy here use to be with two cultivator partner but lately i didn't even see them.... There's a rumors that they died on a night hunt."

The old man sudently goes sad. "They used to stay in the small hut by the river there. Both of them are really nice. The wife really like a sunshine who bring happiness. Do you intends to take care of the poor child? "The wife told them while looking at Yin Yu with hope.

"Yes, we're here to take care of the boy. "Yin Yu answer and bow in respect before leaving back with Hua Cheng to the inn.

And now here they are. Infront of a small hut with the boy in their hand. "A-Ying home! "The boy say happily as he just reach home.

"But a-die and a-niang never come back... Is A-Ying really a bad boy.. " the boy ask for the first time Xie Lian and Hua Cheng see the boy smile fade away and replaced by a small sobbing.

They decide to adopt the child since there a rumors going that his parents were dead on a night hunt.

The little boy play with a flying wrath butterfly. They are back in the inn after taking some important stuff like a tassel pendant.

"A-Ying do you want to live with us? "Hua Cheng ask then look at the little boy.

"You won't leave me like a-die and a-niang right? "The boy give a sudden hug to Xie Lian.

"No ofcourse, if you stay with us we can play together, cook together, eat together, sleep together and i can teach you to use a sword! "Xie Lian give a smile while hugging the boy back.

Hua cheng was drawing a shortening array before they arrive at Puqi village.

Many villagers on Puqi visited them and give some food as they praying at the shrine.

Wei Ying now was crowded with many girl and woman who offer him a peeled water chestnut.
