"Love is not something we are prepared for and it is something which you will get when you least prepared for it. It will change your whole life for better or worse. It will make you feel like you are finally complete, like the missing puzzle piece...
The sky was devoid of its blue colour and was coated with grey colour as if telling others that the colors of the area is gone. The plants and trees surrounded them were also so dry and dull that one can tell from the look itself that the place beyond the trees is not useful for habitation. The air carried the smell of fire and dust. One can hear the sound of footsteps on the path which was surrounded with dry plants. The silluhotte of a man wearing black robes was walking down the path. His hair was flowing with the wind and the red ribbon that held some of his hair in a small pony, is also dancing along with his luscious curls. He was holding a jar of wine on his left hand and twirling a black flute in his right hand. His steps were confident and also had a careless aura. As soon as he walked a bit more, there was a clearing and there were settlements there with actual people living in the place which looked like a grave yard. The man with a smile walked inside and greeted with an old lady who was holding a three year old kid.
"grandma... you were waiting for me...?" he asked while looking at them with a smile.
"Young master wei... A'yuan wanted to wait for you... so.." she trailed while looking at the kid who was on her hand.
"Aww... A'yuan wanted to wait for wei gege..." he cooed and then ruffled the hair of that kid which he responded with a chuckle. He placed his flute in his waist band and then he raised his hands while telling.
"Give A'yuan to me... I will take care of him.." wei wuxian said and secured A'yuan in his hands.
"Come on A'yan.. let's check on your uncle Wen ning.." he said and walked towards the cultivation field that was on the right side of the settlements.
"Wei gounzi.. you have come..?" an older looking man asked who was busy digging the ground.
"Ha... I just went to the nearest village to get some wine.. how is the farming going on.." wei wuxian asked.
"Its going good. We managed to grow some good radishes.." He said with a smile.
"That's good. We need to make a living.. now that it is our home.. we have to make the best of it.." Wei wuxian said.
"Young master wei.. is it worth it?.. we are.." the man started asking. Wei wuxian with a determined face said.
"Dont worry.. I know what I am doing.. I chose to save you guys.. I am not a person who does things half way... this is the right path that I have chose.." he said with a distant look in his face.
"Forget about those.. where wen ning??" he asked changing the subject.
"He is at the other side of the land Wen Qing send him to collect some woods."
Wei wuxian nodded and then turned to Ayuan who was playing in the mud.
"A'Yuan.. what are you doing.. are you planting radishes..?" he asked in his baby voice and the kid chuckled while nodding his head.
"You know.. if you plant radish, then it will give more radishes.. and if we plant you in the soil, then we will be able to make more siblings to you.." wei wuxian said and started spreading soil around the kid with a naughty smile.
"Wei wuxian... what are you doing..? You made his clothes dirty.. you know how much difficult it is to wash and clean them. I guess.. you may have to do that by yourself, then you will know.." A female voice scolded him and took the kid from the ground.
Before Xiao zhan can turn around to see the women, his phone rang. the sound of his phone woke Xiao Zhan up from his dream. With a sigh he checked his phone to see that it was a call from Meng Ziyi, his friend.
"Hello.. " he attended the call suddenly.
"Hai.. sleepy head... I just called you to tell that.. today evening we all are going shopping..."
"Seriously.. this is why you called.. that too this early..." Xiao Zhan asked.
" its not early and we are going.. it's my birthday party and some people have morning classes.. okay.. this is the only time I will get to call you idiots and the fact that I wake you guys up is just a bonus.. so today evening.. dont forget.. if you dont come.. I will kill you in a painful way.. you know I am a medical student and I can do that..." xiao zhan can feel shivers going down his spine and then he said.
"I will be there .. no need to go all serial killer mode.." he said to which Meng ziyi chuckled and then disconnected the call with a bye.
Xiao zhan leaned back to the head rest of his bed and thought.
"The dream felt so real.. and the most shocking thing is that the man wei wuxian had my face. He was identical to me.. who was the women and who was that kid.. A'yuan, wen ning.. wen qing... who are they and what they mean to that person.. who was wei wuxian.. why he has my face.. why am I having these dreams and most importantly who was that white robed man.." he thought while recalling the white robed man he saw in his vision
"Why my heart bleeds when I think about him... God.. please help me and answer all these questions..." Xiao zhan thought.
He got ready hurriedly and went downstairs to have some breakfast and leave for college. Even after reaching the college, xiao zhan was feeling restless and he couldn't help but recall the ream he saw today again and again. Today their class with professor yu sujin got cancelled because he had to go back home because of his mothers illness. Xiao zhan decided to go to their common hall and paint. He took out a clean blank canvas and arranged all the necessary colors and brushes. For a moment he was silently observing the canvas deciding what to paint. Before he can decide on to something particular his hands move itself started painting as if they have their own consciousness. For an hour xiao zhan was concentrated at his painting, the blending of the colors, the strokes he made at the canvas. For someone who is observing from the side can see how much involved he was as an artist while he was painting. It was a sight itself, the focused face, the effortlessly moving hands.. it was like watching a perfectly choreographed dance.
As he was doing the finishing touches, he heard the door opening...
"Xiao ge.. are you here..?" Xiao zhan recognized the voice. It was sizhui..
"I am here sizhui..." he called out without taking eyes off his painting..
"I searched you everywhere and finally song Jiang ge told me that you are here.." Sizhui said while coming towards xiao zhan.. As soon as he saw xiao zhan standing infront of a canvas, he said.
"Oh.. you were painting.. what did you paint.." he said and then walked near to xiao zhan to take a look at the painting. The moment his eyes fell on that art piece, his eyes widened and then he breathed out.
"Burial mound..."
