"Mom, what is fated pair?" 

Little Wangji asked, tucked into his bed, his doe eyes looking up at his mother.

His mother smiles fondly, brushing his soft hair gently, "hm? Why are you asking all of a sudden? Did my little Wangji found someone he cherish?" She asked, softly but teasingly as she can be. She knew his son is smart, yet she still can't believe hearing such things from him.

Little Wangji pouted, brows a little furrowed, "No, mommy! My schoolmates were talking about it after school," he answers, innocently as he is.

His mother snickered at his defense, "Hm, let me see... Fated pair is something that two people feel."

Confused, Wangji tilted his head, brows still furrowed, trying to comprehend what his mother said.

She chuckled at the confused look from his second son. "Well, when you meet your fated pair you'll know," she utters, kissing his forehead.

"But what will I feel, mommy?" He asked as innocent as he can be.

"You'll feel drawn to that person. Like you want him for yourself. You want him to be always by your side, when he's not around you'll look for him. There's something inside you that will tell you that he's the one." She smiles.

"Like you and daddy?" His eyes twinkle, small arms hugging his mommy's tummy.

She nods and chortled, "like me and daddy."

"When my little Wangji found someone he cherishes the most more than mommy, daddy, and Xichen-gege, mommy should be the first one to know, hm?" She says to the kid, soft and loving voice.

Despite his not yet matured mind, it was engraved to him his promise to his mother. He nods vigorously, a wide smile plastered on his little lips, "Yes, mommy!" He giggles.

She giggles at his answer, "good. Now, my baby Wangji needs to sleep so he'll need to grow big and healthy so he can find his fated pair when he grows up!" She teased.

Pink hue painted the boy's ears. He immediately hides himself under the covers.

But that didn't get away from his mother, but she didn't push her teasing any further. She leaned one last time and kissed his head. A soft motherly smile painted her face, "Good night, my little Wangji," she bids before standing to her feet and eventually leaving Wangji in his own room.
