I'M UNDESERVING...

ACCEPT IT.....

It's been a week since, zewujun said that he will come out of his seclusion to talk with lan qiren. Except, wangji and Wei wuxian no one knew that he was ending his seclusion. Outside the Hanshi, wangji was waiting, when zewujun slides the door open.

" Brother! ", said wangji with a concern face only readable by xichen.

Xichen smiles, " Wangji! Didn't you were the one to always ask me to come out? Now , when I'm doing this you are telling me to think twice?"

Wangji looks down, " I was brother! But... let's go to lanshi.", he shrugged.

Zewujun chuckles, " You think I will be hurted? Do you really think your brother is that weak?"

Wangji looks at him with determined eyes, " Never! Brother is the strongest!". Zewujun smiles and taking a deep breath he took his first step outside the Hanshi, after 8 months. He was walking in front with wangji following him in the back. He felt overwhelmed when he felt familiar cold breeze on his face. He would be lying if ,he say he didn't miss the outer world, didn't miss the cold winds, calm weather, little whispers of disciplines. The disciples were shocked seeing their sect leader finally out after eight months, they all happily bowed and wished him good morning, xichen too wished them back with his evergreen smile . Soon, they both were outside the lanshi,

" Brother?", wangji spoke when he saw xichen standing outside the lanshi blankly. Zewujun looks at him, " Wangji! I don't know how to face him!!", he said averting his gaze towards lanshi.

When 8 months ago zewujun announced his seclusion , he had a small disagreement with lan qiren. The older tried his best to stop the younger from taking this step , but stubbornness is in Lans blood. Despite of lan qiren words he went in seclusion. Zewujun was thinking about this when he felt weight on his shoulder, he looked towards wangji who had placed his hand on his shoulder,

" He was worried about you . And still is... Talk it through!", said wangji calmly. Zewujun wanted to laugh , this was the same person who didn't even know about his own feelings as well as didn't dare to tell his soulmate about it and here , he is telling him to talk it through!!! " Then, I will be going inside! You go and get my nephew and brother in law. I want to meet my brother's small little family!", he said and smiled when he saw wangji's red ears. Wangji nods and walked towards the area where rabbits were kept. While zewujun looked at lanshi, taking a deep breath he walked inside lanshi.

Lan qiren was reading scrolls , when he heard a knock at the door. He looked toward the door where zewujun was standing with a nervous face. When zewujun got lan qiren's attention, he gets on his knee and bowed infront of him.

" I know I have disappointed you and our clan. I failed to be a sect leader as well as a lan!! I'm willing to take any punishment!!", said zewujun still bowing at his knee's, he was not able to look at lan qiren.

" Do you want tea?",

Zewujun looked at lan qiren who was pouring himself tea . He was not able to get what exactly lan qiren wanted to say,

" Uncle....are you not angry or upset ?" , asked Zewujun calmly. Lan qiren looked at him ,

" Stand up! Let's have some tea.", said lan qiren pouring another cup . Zewujun slowly stands up and sat in front of lan qiren. Lan qiren slowly passes him tea ,

" How have you been lately?",

Zewujun was totally wasn't expecting this type of question,
" I..I have been good lately!!", he said.

" I can see that!! How GOOD!!," said lan qiren eyeing at xichen, even xichen had eaten properly for a week and had a nice sleep , it didn't make any big difference, he still looked very weak. Zewujun just smiles nervously at lan qiren exclamation.
