My Heart (WangXian)

Ch. 4 Back to life-2

A/N Hello my dears. We will finally have the WangXian reunion we all have been waiting for. And I will put the Reunion in both of their POVS. I wont put the same scene in both of their POVS very often but I wanted to put what they both are thinking or feeling about meeting again. So I hope you enjoy it.

Lan Zhan's POV

I'm heading to the temple at Dafan mountain. It seems the dancing goddess statue is causing problems again. I'm sure the juniors can handle it. But I want to be there anyway. My heart is still behaving strangely and beating irregularly. Something is different but I still dont know what it is. I'm sure I will find out eventually. I'm glad Sizhui and the others are okay since I had to help them at Mo Manor. Sizhui had mentioned a master Mo repeatedly without mentioning his name. Just that he was likely mistreated in the family and that he was often beaten by his now dead Shūshu(uncle) and cousin. That's unfortunate. Lan Jǐngyí said that master Mo also seems a little crazy. But how he seemed to be treated by his family I could hardly blame him. Now most of Master Mo's family is dead. Its unfortunate but maybe it will be a good thing for him. I didnt get to meet him, he left when I came to Mo Manor. At the foot of Dafan mountain there is already a crowd. I hate crowds. It makes me feel so uncomfortable. But crowds are unavoidable at times especially when strange things are happening. You would think at 34 I would be used to it by now but that's not the case. I wonder if Sizhui and the other juniors have handled the dancing goddess statue yet or not. If they havent I would like to help since I helped contain and seal the dancing goddess statue before all those years ago. It's been so long since those times it almost seems like another lifetime. But it's still the same lifetime. Wei Ying its been so long since you've been gone. It's been 16 years. They have felt so long and cold without you. And Sizhui our A Yuan is now 19. The last year of his teens.

You never made it to 19. You were only 17. Such a short life. But you had,had enough. The world broke you down and washed away your colors. And I had failed you. I wasnt on your side and you felt alone. You needed someone and I wasnt there for you like I should have. It's still one of my deepest regrets. Another is I never told you, never shown you the feelings of my heart to you. You deserved to know even if you didnt return my feelings. Though its likely you wouldnt its well known that you flirted with only girls. And you would often brag about the pretty girls of Yunmeng or Lotus pier. But all I saw was a beautiful Wei Ying. A beautiful man, a beautiful soul. What happened? What happened to your smile? What happened to your light? I know you were very broken at the end. But you had lost your smile before that. Your light had dulled before that. What happened? It seems like I will never know now. The world lost something beautiful, something precious but they didnt know or care. But I did and do. And I was the only one that mourned you. I still mourn you. I still feel so much pain from losing you. I probably will till my dying breath. Cause I still love you. I still love you deeply. I maneuver my way around and sometimes through the crowd. I walk quickly. Sometimes I wish I wasnt so restrained by so many rules. I want to run. It's not just rules that restrain me though something inside does too. But I dont know what or why. I want to speak easily and freely. I want to smile normally. I want to laugh. I dont remember ever laughing. You laughed so freely and warmly. It was a magical sound. But your last laugh wasnt magical. It was filled with pain and bitterness. I can still hear it. Just like I can still hear your scream and cries from that time. They haunt me to this day and probably always will.

I am near where the temple is now. And there is a bit of a crowd even here. I hear cries of "The Ghost General!" Then I hear a flute being played. I nearly stop and gasp. The quality is terrible but the tune is undeniable. WangXian. I quickly head over to the man in black playing the tune. There is only one person that knows the song besides myself. Wei Ying! I go up behind him. I reach out and grab his wrist. He stops playing and looks up at me. He seems to be smaller now. Through the mask I look into his eyes. And I fight to hold back tears. How is this even possible? He is back. He's back in a body that must not be his if the height difference is any indication. His eyes either show being startled or surprised I'm not sure. I can still see his mouth since it's not covered by the mask. The shape and structure of it is the same. But there is one blaring difference. His mole underneath his lower lip is gone. I wonder if there are other differences. I grip his wrist a bit harder without meaning too. He drops his flute as he grasps my hand that's gripping his wrist. Oh how I long to take off his mask to see his whole face even if it's a new face. His eyes now show confusion. I wonder why he's confused. It's me Lan Zhan, Wei Ying. Why are you so confused? Does he not recognize me? Am I going to have to restart the friendship we had? Suddenly I hear a sizzling sound behind and to the side of us. I quickly make my Zither appear out of thin air and play killer string. Which blocks Zidian's strike. Wei Ying picks up his bamboo flute. And walks somewhere to the side of me. Why dont you stand behind me where its safer Wei Ying? "So you're back?!" Jiang Wanyin says spitefully. Wei Ying just looks at his one time Jiébài xiōngdì (sworn brother). Then before I can react Jiang Wanyin strikes with Zidian and it hits Wei Ying. He flies through the air and hits the ground. How did he not cry out? I know that had to be painful. I've seen many people scream or cry out when struck with Zidian. How was he able to not to make a sound? Then I realize something. No soul came out of the body. Which means Wei Ying is not possessing the body. The body must have been given to him willingly. There was such a person? A person willing to give up their body and life to the Yilling Patriarch? "Master Mo!" I hear Sizhui cry out. I see Sizhui go to Wei Ying. He knows the person that Wei Ying has to be? "Master Mo are you Alright?" He asks. "I'm fine young master Lan." He says calmly. To reassure Sizhui.
