Wei Wuxian was capable of hiding lots of things, such as his "jug-filled-emperor's smile"s, his own emotions, his pain, his suffering, his past and much more. But definitely not a 5-month pregnancy.
It was even more unlikely to go unnoticed if the person in question was no other than Wei Wuxian. He had always been blessed to be noticed wherever he went, which most of the time turned out to be a curse rather than a blessing.
Even while wearing his outer robes partly untied and loosened, and having left his long hair down, there was no mistaking the little, round belly. Lan WangJi's guarding presence just a few steps behind him simply affirmed the statement..
But even then, it was decided in the best interest of Wei Wuxian and the Gusu Lan Sect for his pregnancy to be kept a secret from outsiders. For the cultivation world not ready to accept the possibly of a man being able to become pregnant.
But, of course, what's the value of a secret if it won't be risked leaking once in a while?
.. It was during a night hunt in which the Lan Juniors happened to be crossing paths with Jin Ling, once again.
"So what have the cut sl-.. the cringey lovey-dovey couple been up to?" Jin Ling asked casually.
"It's been a while since I last saw them" he simply explained.
"Senior Wei is pregnan-" Lan Jingyi's mouth was suddenly smacked by Lan Sizhui's sweaty palm. The other Juniors gave fierce looks to Lan Jingyi for carelessly bringing up such "top-secret" matter.
Lan Jingyi's face turned into the each shade of the rainbow, silently praying that Jin Ling would let it go unnoticed.
"Yeah as if, and my parents are alive" Jin Ling snorted while rolling his eyes. "It's impossible. After all, he is a man."
"Haha that was sooo funny, A-gyi! Such a prankster haha." Lan Sizhui laughed pretentious and playfully hit Lan Jingyi in the arm. He then cleared his throat and his face dropped immediately.
"It's getting pretty late. We'll be going first" Lan Sizhui said politely before bowing, and they all raced away. It was too risky.
"Hmmm.." Jin Ling muttered to himself and crossed his arms. There is something fishy going on. Their reaction is highly unusual.
Seeing the scene before his eyes, the Lan Juniors leaving in a rush after such fishy conversation was brought up he couldn't help but be suspicious of the others. He crossed his arms and muttered to himself
"Unusual."
