Bottles Of Promises

6 (Jiang Cheng)

A now fully clothed Jiang Cheng stood in front of Lan Xichen who couldn't help but study the handsome face before him.

It all happened 20 minutes ago. Jiang Cheng like the tracking fish he is, per Wei Ying's words managed to find the man he saw along with the man who carried his injured brother. He had been trying for days to find them with no luck.

That was until he stumbled upon Lan Xichen who kept coming back to the usual spot Lan Zhan always sits.

Now he is fuming mad and wanted nothing but to see his brother.

"Where the hell did you bring Wei Wuxian??!" Jiang Cheng asked... Or more like growled while gritting his teeth. His hands wanted to punch the guy in front of him but the gentle smile and kind face didn't allow it.

"You must be Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian has been talking a lot about you-"

"Where is he?" Jiang Cheng cutted him off not actually interested in hearing more nonsense. His hand though kept itching to take the fabric off his skin. It was irritating him.

Lan Xichen could only smile, he was already warned by Wei Ying about Jiang Cheng's attitude. "Then please follow me. I'll take you to him."

True to Lan Xichen's words he had taken Jiang Cheng to where Wei Ying is except the scene they came upon was not what they wete expecting to see.

.........

(Before the dreaded scene)

Wei Ying grumbled for the fifth time. He was still not allowed to go back to his home cause a certain someone wouldn't allow it after he was attacked.

Yup. Lan Zhan became protective so suddenly after Wei Ying told them he wanted to go back to the ocean. Even though he was afraid of  Jiang Cheng breaking his tail.

So now all Wei Ying could do is swim around the surprisingly big tank out of boredom. Luckily Wen Qing, the lady who helped with his wounds brought some stuff that could cure his boredom.

Stuff like the version of grapes in the ocean, live fish and lots of kelp.

While Lan Zhan would keep him company at night.

It had already been a week since Wei Ying woke up. He and Lan Zhan grew close as the latter was very active and talkative. He often pesters Lan Zhan and even once tried changing his tail.

That ended up a huge fail as he couldn't really stand so he fell face first before Lan Zhan forbid him from changing without letting him know first.

The good thing is that Wei Ying and Lan Zhan grew closer as the latter would talk about his life under the sea. How he became a lone mer instead of staying in his cove. He basically told him his entire life story from scratch without leaving anything hidden.

"Lan Zhan did you know that if a mermaid meets his or her soulmate they get bonded for life even if it's in another life. They become fated for eternity." Wei Ying mumbled as he swam around the private pool.

They were in Lan Zhan's private Villa which has a large pool. And this was all because Wei Ying has grown tired of the tank he was smimming in. Sure there was a nice view of the city but something was missing. That something was the ocean and it's salty breeze since the private villa has it's own private beach.

"And also it doesn't matter what kind it is as long as the souls are connected they are still a fated pair. I wonder when I'll meet my mate?"

Lan Zhan unconsciously glared while listening to his brother on the phone. It somehow angered him to think that Wei Ying will belong to someone who's not him.
