Walking into the indoctrination, Wei Ying noticed Jin Zixuan note his presence and roll his eyes, Wei Ying scoffed, Peacock!
Seemingly knowing what Wei Ying was thinking, Jiang Cheng smirked and nodded in agreement before turning to the long stack of stairs. Wei Ying waved back at Nie Huisang before looking around for a certain person, a new fear settling in his heart.
Fuck where is Lan Zhan? Oh god, please. please be okay.
"Introducing!" A voice yelled out, making everyone turn to the stairs,"Wen Chao!"
Wei Ying rolled his eyes and snorted, Such performance from the Wen Clan, this almost outdoes the Peacock's clan!
Wen Chao grinned, shuffling his sleeves, "Look at yourselves..." He chuckled, "You all look like sleepy mangy dogs!"
Wei Ying flinched at the word 'dogs' before forcing himself to at least act beyond calm, Jiang Chenq needs me, I can cry when he's asleep, Jiang Cheng needs his elder brother to be calm.
Wen Chao huffed, looking around, "This is incomplete, why the hell isn't he here?!"
Wei Ying's heart dropped, snapping up to Wen Chao he prayed 'he' was anyone but- "Lan Wangji has arrived!"
Wei Ying's heart dropped and he spun around, No! He wailed, He can't be here! He cried as he looked at Lan Zhan, noticing the blood on the bottom of his robes, the slight, slight, limp, unnoticeable to anyone but him and Wei Ying suddenly wondered when he had gotten good at reading Lan Wangji.
...
"Your leg is broken, and they are forcing you to walk!" Lan Xichen was furious. Lan Zhan could only nod, "That is Absolutely absurd!" Lan Xichen added but sighed looking at his brother.
Lan Xichen watched his brother holding his sleeping husband close to his chest, while rubbing his back, and tangling his fingers within Wei Wuxian's hair. Lan Xichen can see just by looking into his brother's eyes that he was worried for Wei Wuxian. He's having to relive all this and have it open to everyone there in the room. Xichen's heart ached just looking at them.
...
'Those bastards broke his leg...fuck! I'll protect you too Lan Zhan, I'll protect you,' He promised, laying weights on his own shoulders.
Fantasies flashed across Wei Ying's mind (shown on the screen) as he tried to get Lan Zhan's attention, but like himself, it seemed the other was protecting him by remaining silent, he sighed. He imagined taking care of Lan Zhan and his broken leg, he imagined killing the Wen for what they had done, he imagined taking Lan Zhan's hands-
'Wei Wuxian! Now is not the time.'
In their Wen rooms, later that night, powerless, defenceless, Wei Ying listened to Jiang Cheng's snores and sobbed silently.
He was terrified, "I'm terrified," He admitted out loud, aware he only had the liberty to confess to himself, he couldn't worry Jiang Cheng, or Lan Wangji, "I want to go home... I'm hungry, I'm cold, I can't stop thinking about Lan Zhan's leg... fuck..." And then he fell asleep, exhausted from acting amusement, calmness, and wit for Jiang Cheng, his dreams were all but pleasant.
The next day, Wei Ying watched as Wen Chao relished in the power he held, sitting on a little throne as he addressed them, "Boys and girls, have you all memorized the Quintessence of the Wen Clan?" He asked, receiving silence.
Wei Ying refrained from rolling his eyes, 'I'm going to enjoy punching that stupid smug smirk off of his stupid smug face.'
"Do we have a volunteer?" Wen Chao asked, but didn't get a reply.
