Who You Are

Chapter 37 - Big Brother Xichen

Fingers tightening over the straw hat, Wei Ying turned to leave. However, was thrown back, pain exploding in every piece of him as Wen Zhuliu punched his stomach sending him flying onto a table, breaking it.

...

Lan Zhan's heart skipped several beats as blood spewed from Wei Ying's lips and writhed in agony, however, shocking everyone, he once again stood. Lan Xichen wanted to cry. No matter how many times Wei Ying fell, he stood again. He really hoped that wouldn't change. Although, seeing as it already had, Lan Xichen wasn't looking forward to seeing this beautiful, amazing soul break. Rising his blurry sights, Wei Ying sighed at the sight of Wen Chao and his mistress waltzing in.

"I am ashamed to have him as a son," Wen Ruohan said, "I know my mistakes and have accepted them. This though, he is asking for a long painful death."

Wei Wuxian looked up at his husband. Seeing his look of despair on his face he knows that Wangji is worried. Wei Ying didn't like seeing his past either but he lives with these memories everyday. So he did what he knew would potentially help. He reached up and pulled Lan Wangji down to kiss him. He responded back almost immediately. It was exactly what Wangji needed. It let Wangji know that he is still with him. The others let them be. Wangji and Wuxian eventually turned back to the screen.

...

Wen Chao laughed, not even saying anything before a random Wen dog kicked Wei Ying's knee sending him crippled to the floor again, spread out. However, as he tried to rise once more, Wen Chao stamped on his hand, pinning him there and laughing.

Wen Chao smirked, "What is it, Wei-Dog? Why can't you get up?" He taunted as he shifted his weight from foot to foot, rolling Wei Wuxian's fingers beneath his boot.

Wei Ying tried his hardest not to whimper, but he couldn't hide the pain he was feeling nor could he hide his wincing breaths.

Wen Chao chuckled, "Weren't you an arrogant brat back in the Slaughter Xuanwu Cave?" He questioned, his tone darkening, "Try that again," He dared, "Try that again!"

Wei Ying spasmed, trying to free his fingers as Wen Chao crushed them, he whimpered softly. Wen Chao snorted, signalling for his men to pick Wei Ying up, which they roughly did, his vision blurring and head spinning from the
treatment. Wen Chao chuckled, kicking Wei Ying in the stomach almost sending him to the floor again if it weren't for the people holding him up.

...

Lan Xichen had never felt anger like it, not for anyone but his baby brother at least, and yet now he wanted to rip apart everyone and anyone who hurt Wei Ying. Being his brother-in-law, he has grown more protective of Wei Ying since the start of this who screening process. He will never let anyone hurt either of them again, and if they do, the gentleman known as Lan Xichen goes away.

...

Wen Chao sighed and slumped down on a table, "Where is Jiang Cheng?" He asked, but received silence, he kicked the boy again, "Where is Jiang Cheng? Just give up."

Wei Ying was barely listening, just focusing on trying to stay alive and not let the dark spots on his vision win, Wen Chao sighed, "Don't want to talk?" He asked, chuckling, "You know you can't save them even if you stay silent. Right now, Jiang Cheng is merely a waste, no better than livestock," The words shouldn't have hurt him, they weren't even directed at him and they were from Wen Chao, but they did, "Jiang Clan of Yunmeng, is done for," Wen Chao taunted.

That, however, did bring Wei Ying comfort and acceptance to his current predicament. He may be in unspeakable pain... but the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng was safe.
