Wei Wuxian(xiao zhan in a dream)
"Ah xian" is that a woman's voice "ah xian" why is it so familiar "ah xian, ah xian" please let me sleep "if you don't get up soon I'll let the dog loose" that did it, I sat up straight "dog?" I noticed I was it a boat, I looked over and saw 2 people laughing

I can't speak so I'll just watch.... Yanli gave jiang cheng's shoulder a little slap wait how do I know their names. "Don't make fun of ah xian" she said "we're here" I got up and grabbed my sword before getting out of the boat "I'm coming, I'm coming I'm coming" I shouted joining my family on shore throwing my arm around Jiang cheng's shoulder. "Senior sister everyone's here" I said "we are not at cloud recesses yet, this is caiyi town" I looked around in excitement before starting to walk backwards in front of my two companions "is there anything fun here?" I said. Jiang cheng looked at me "we're here for the lecture, you only have playing in mind" he said, I gently hit him with the butt of my sword "it's fun to do something forbidden" Jiang cheng reaches behind senior sister and hit me in the back "alright you two. Here is not home. Remember to behave yourselves" senior sister said with a small smile "look at him" I said "whats wrong with me?" Jiang cheng replied, I didn't answer we just kept walking through town, there were many stalls and so many people, there was a cheerful atmosphere I couldn't help smiling. Along the way I spotted a stall with toys, I ran over and grabbed one shaped like a rabbit

"I want this" I said and bought it before rushing back to my companions "excuse me, excuse me" I said as I squeezed in between two man "senior sister look, a bunny isn't it interesting?" I said showing the toy to senior sister, she took it from me "it is interesting, so cute" she said looking at the toy with a big smile "wei wuxian stop playing. We are getting closer to the cloud recesses. This time pupils from all the famous clans will come. Don't others look down upon us because of you" Jiang cheng said in a condescending voice, I pouted "okay" then he turned to the disciples behind us "and you all should keep it in mind too. From now on, what we do and say represents our Jiang clan of Yunmeng" I grabbed senior sister and started walking faster hearing a chorus of "yes sir" behind me, I kept walking "hey, wei wuxian" I heard being shouted at me "did you hear my words?" Yes I heard them, that doesn't mean I'll follow them. I heard fast foot steps probably Jiang cheng trying to catch up to me. "Sister we had a long journey from Yunmeng, and exhausted. I think we can find a tavern to take rest and then go to the cloud recesses in order to keep a good image." Jiang cheng said as we walked over a bridge "Sure. There are 10 days before the salute ceremony. It's been a long journey, let's take a rest here" senior sister said, I got excited "are we going to stay here for a while?" I asked as we went over another bridge "I heard the emperor's smile of gusu is the most famous. Tastes soft and full-bodied, drink to forget all worries. I've been coveting it for a long time. I can finally taste it." I said, "wei wuxian, don't drink" Jiang cheng said, party pooper "I have to! Moderately drinking can ease one's mind, why stop me?" I said pouting "you!" Jiang cheng said before stopping himself "father shouldn't have let you come." He said "you!" I replied "quiet. Both of you. Let's find a tavern first" senior sister said, Jiang cheng looked at me again "wei wuxian, remember to... " I stopped him "I know, I know. I can recite your words now" I tapped him in the stomach with my sword "I gotta go" I said before leaving "senior sister, look at him I have this feeling that he will definitely make trouble at the cloud recesses" I heard Jiang cheng complaining, senior sister let out a sigh "ah xian is born vivacious. It's not a bad thing. Father also says it sometimes." Jiang cheng pouted "sister, you and father always defend him" jealous much. "No way he will change his character. Besides, we Jiang clan of Yunmeng have always been instructed to feel free, right?" Then they followed after me, we finally made it to a tavern but the waiter said that the whole tavern had been rented out, I convince the waiter to give us a room and went up the stairs and saw the two ladies from earlier after a minor altercation with the young master of the Jin clan who reminded me of an over confident peacock we left the tavern and went straight to cloud recesses. But they didn't allow us in "according to Lan clan's principles everyone coming for the lecture is not allowed in without an invitation" jeez it's just one obstacle after another "friend, I've told you a thousand times. We accidentally got our invitations lost. We never intended to lose it. What's more all of us are standing here. How can we lie to you" I said "sir, without an invitation, I can't identify you people." I let out a sigh this was getting agitating "look, the sun is about to set. You can't just watch us sleeping out on the streets, can you?" I said "how about this, please go fetch your clan leader. He has seen our senior sister. At the sight of her he will know we are talking honestly." I said hoping to knock some sense into him "well then, please wait here for a moment until we change shifts here at 17:45" he said "17:45? The sun has already set by then" I complained "ah xian, behave yourself" senior sister said "but senior sister..." She interrupted "as father instructed no matter what, we can forget our manners." I silenced myself knowing she was right "let's leave the gate and plan for the next step" just then there was footsteps and everybody turned. Who is that I want to see too. The footsteps got closer and whoever was walking was about to be in my sights when. Beep beep beep.

I heard my alarm going off and I woke up "what a strange dream" I said to myself before getting out of bed and getting ready. It might be my day off but I had errands to run. I fed my rabbits but couldn't stop thinking about my dream, it was so vivid that it was like I actually lived it before, it all felt so familiar like daja vu. And why do I want to go back to sleep just to see if I can see the face of the owner of the footsteps. I sighed no time to think about it now I have to go grocery shopping . I said goodbye to my beloved pets and went out the door. But the vividness of the dream led me to wonder. Was that a dream or a memory. I shook my head. Stupid nobody can remember their past lifes... Can they.
