Lan Xichen


After A-Ying (Wei Wuxian) dragged us out, we walked around for a bit until A-Ying brought us to a clearing. No one would come looking for us here. We sat down and, I asked,

"Are your parents always arguing?"


A-Cheng (Jiang Cheng) and A-Ying nodded. A-Cheng said,

"Yes, A-Xian the juniors and I decided, that if they don't want to listen to each other; and if they don't stop threatening A-Xian as if he is a monster, A-Jie as if she should not defend A-Xian or me and, me like I am useless. We aren't going to talk to them anymore unless they ask anything."


I nod. I was tired even, with my father knowing what happened, the nightmares kept getting worse. A-Cheng seemed to notice and said,

"You can sleep for a bit. It's almost one PM now and we don't need to be back before six PM."


I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder. Before I fell asleep, I saw A-Ying asleep in A-Zhan's (Lan Wangji) lap.


Four hours later.

I woke up with my head on A-Cheng's lap and felt A-Cheng run his hands through my hair. There was still an hour left. We waited until A-Ying woke up. We still had half an hour left but decided to go back.


When we got there; We were right on time for dinner. We sat down. Madam Yu was glaring at A-Cheng and A-Ying but didn't say anything. Sect leader Jiang and father were still talking. Jiang Yanli was talking with A-Qing. The juniors and the others were talking to each other. When everyone sat down, everything became silent. No one said anything.


After dinner, some servants directed us to our rooms A-Ying and A-Cheng following us. After the servants were gone, A-Ying followed A-Zhan in his room. A-Cheng followed me. Once we were inside, I put up silencing talismans. A-Cheng gave me a Qiankun Bag. I looked inside and saw my sword, a clarity bell, my old clothes, my hairpiece, some Yunmeng Jiang clothes. I gave A-Cheng a Qiankun Bag with Jade tokens and said,

"They are for the others. You and A-Ying will meet them first."

A-Cheng nodded.


I was still tired and, we need to leave early tomorrow to go back to Gusu. I didn't want to sleep since the nightmares would come back. A-Cheng seemed to understand he said,

"Sleep."

I nodded and laid down on the bed. After a fewseconds, I was asleep.
