Beyond Control

Chapter 110

Lan Xichen wanted to go check on his brother and Wuxian this evening. After the long day they all had, he wanted to see if Wuxian was awake, and he and Wangji were doing okay. As Lan Xichen approached the Jingshi he could hear noises. At first he was worried, he thought maybe the two were arguing again but as soon as he got to the door, he realized it was not that.

He heard Wuxian say his brother's name and then made a specific noise. Xichen's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open in shock. This was the first time he had ever heard such noises coming from his brother's home. Xichen chuckled and shook his head as he placed a privacy barrier around the Jingshi that will be there until morning.

Though the two are having a moment, Xichen knew that he still needed to sit with them and talk. He wanted to know if Wuxian agreed to try Wen Qing's treatment or not. For now, Xichen went back to his own place for the rest of the evening.

In the morning, Lan Xichen and Wen Qing went to go to the Jingshi. Xichen warned Wen Qing that they may not be presentable yet and explained what he heard last night. Wen Qing shook her head at the knowledge she gained, but she thought it might be worth it for them. Wangji and Wuxian share energy at that time and it will help them out. Wuxian needed the alone time with Wangji.

When the two entered the Jingshi, Wuxian was up and sitting on Wangji's lap at the table. His wounds had also disappeared as well. Wuxian had his head resting on Wangji's chest as Wangji's arms were wrapped around him. Wen Qing smiled at the sight.

"Good morning love-birds," Wen Qing told them.

"Good morning," Wuxian said quietly.

Xichen couldn't help but tease the two, "did you two enjoy your night, last night?"

Wuxian looked at Xichen and blinked. He did not understand at first and then the thought hit him. Wuxian's face grew hot as he turned and hid his face in Wangji's chest. Wangji looked at his brother and glared. Xichen laughed at the two.

"I'm just teasing...try to remember to use talismans next time," Xichen told them.

"You use talismans next time," Wangji talked back.

"Wen Qing and I haven't even been intimate yet. We are not married," Xichen said.

"Seems to be your problem," Wuxian mumbled.

Xichen and Wen Qing huffed, "OoHoohoh!" Wen Qing said, "you two are sassy, today."

"You're sassy," Wuxian argued playfully.

Wangji chuckled and placed a kiss on Wuxian's forehead, "good one," he said.

"So, we came here to check on you both," Xichen explained, "and we wanted to know what Wuxian has decided."

"He said he will try the medicine, but we also talked about going to visit Baoshan for a while. I think it would be good for Wei Ying and I to get away for a bit," Wangji answered.

"Did you want to visit her first before trying the medicine? She might have something else for you to try," Wen Qing asked.

"We could," Wangji said and looked down at Wuxian, "what do you think?"

"I do not care," Wuxian said as he buried himself into Wangji's arms. His face was hidden in Wangji's robes. He did not want to be all that vocal at the moment.

I don't want to talk. Answer for me. I will communicate with you this way.

Wangji chuckled, "alright," Wangji said as he placed his hand on the back of Wuxian's head.

"What?" Xichen asked.

"Wei Ying isn't in the mood to talk," Wangji answered.

Xichen chuckled a bit, "okay, so are you speaking for him?"

"Mnn," Wangji nodded.

"Did you two talk about things?" Xichen asked.

"We did," Wangji replied, "we talked through what we needed to talk about. We will be okay. Wei Ying just needs me."

Xichen nodded, "I see."

"He..."

"He what?" Xichen asked.

"Wei Ying told me that he felt nervous around us when he came back after leaving in the middle of the night," Wangji explained, "he felt we were going to scold him or yell at him. He told me that he is always going to assume that he has done something wrong. As he was always told that's all he was good for...doing something wrong."

Xichen looked at Wuxian who was hiding in Wangji's arms. He remembered that he was doing to do that at first, but he realized it would only make things worse. Wei Wuxian was always verbally abused by Yu Ziyuan and he was always told he was nothing but trouble and he was going to cause something bad to happen. Xichen wanted to smack himself over the head as he realized that Wuxian was going to reprimand himself anyway.

"You are not going to be punished, and I a not mad at you. I was worried, and maybe a bit mad at first, but I know that you are always going through a lot internally. I want you to know that you are going to be okay, A'Xian. I am sorry for making you uncomfortable," Xichen told him.

Wuxian peaked at him over his shoulder. He saw the cup of water on the table and decided to get back at Xichen. Wuxian hid his smirk behind Wangji's robes as he looked directly at the water and caused it to spill on Xichen's lap.

Oops.

Wangji looked down at Wuxian and then back at his brother who was trying to figure out what just happened. Wangji smiled at Wuxian and placed a kiss on the top of his head.

"What happened?" Xichen asked.

Payback. Xichen-Ge wants to make me uncomfortable, so I got him wet.

"Wei Ying," Wangji said fondly.

Xichen looked at Wuxian, "what was that for?" Xichen asked.

Wuxian peaked at him and stuck out his tongue before hiding back in Wangji's robes. Xichen looked at them both, appalled by Wuxian's action. Wangji laughed at his brother's reaction.

"What, can't handle a little sass from my sassy husband?" Wangji asked.

"If he wasn't hiding in your lap, and was not feeling so down, I would hav—" Xichen stopped talking and looked at Wangji and Wuxian. Wuxian was hitting Xichen hard today with sass but Xichen did not care. It let Xichen know that he was feeling a bit better at the moment. At least good enough to be this playful and sassy.
