Dimensions Apart (Wangxian)

Family

"Ayuan baby, did you find anything in your set of notes?" Wei Ying asked going through his own set of notes originally written by omega Wei Wuxian, deciphered and translated by Wei Ying and re-written by the combined efforts of Lan Zhan and Lan Sizhui.

Turns out that the "modern intelligent counterpart" of Wei Ying did write everything he knew about their situation, from basic knowledge to extensively advanced theories but maybe he wanted to save the papers or didn't know how to use an ink brush or was just too lazy to write, he failed to consider that the people in this world might find it hard to understand his shortcuts, sentences abruptly ending with several dots, use of certain symbol wherever he wanted to copy exactly what was written in the above line, stars and arrows to explain concepts mentioned in a line in some corners of the same page or on a different page with his splotchy wriggly caterpillar-like handwriting. 

Well, Wei Ying would be the last person to complain about the handwriting because his own was no better than the partying ants bathed in blue-black ink. In fact, it was one of the main reasons why he was able to understand omega Wei Wuxian's notes which Lan Sizhui had spent hours on and given up on deciphering, declaring it as an unknown complicated alien language.

But as for the annoying, extensive use of those stupid symbols and shortcuts, Wei Ying wanted to smack some sense in his so-called modern intelligent counterpart's head. If not for that, Wei Ying wouldn't have had to spend the last six days trying to find relevant words for shortcuts to match the context, completing the incomplete sentences and copying words in place of that two tiny cashew-shaped symbols and also helping his Lan Zhan and Ayuan in re-writing everything from the scratch for them to be able to understand and work together.

And it wasn't surprising to find that small bundle of about thirty pages written by omega Wei Wuxian turn into a hefty stack of two hundred and twenty-five pages after being deciphered by Wei Ying and re-written in the neat and clean handwriting of the Lans. 

Today was the seventh day, the last day before Lan Zhan and Wei Ying's wedding ceremony and the small family has only just started to read and try to actually understand the notes of omega Wei Wuxian when a disciple knocked at the door of Jingshi calling Hanguang Jun to attend some urgent Sect matters leaving only Ayuan and Wei Ying to tackle the problem.

"No mama, I'm yet to find anything new that we haven't already figured out," Ayuan answered with a small mischievous smile playing on his lips

"Oh god, Ayuan! Stop calling me mama! I'm a man okay?! How often do I have to remind you?" Wei Ying huffed exasperatedly

"First you need to stop baby me, mama. I'm nineteen now and currently of the same age as yours," Ayuan retorted playfully, unlike his usual calm and serious demeanour

"You little radish! You were this tiny when I used to carry you all around the Yiling in my arms. Don't you dare tell me my age or I'll tell Lan Zhan that you're calling him old," Wei Ying folded his hands in front of his chest, grumbling

"Lans do not lie, mama," Ayuan reminded, amusedly

"I'm a Wei! Not a Lan!"

"Yet." Lan Zhan remarked with a soft smile on his face as he entered Jingshi

"Huh?" Wei Ying looked at his Lan Zhan, confusedly

"Not a Lan, yet. Tomorrow Wei Ying's name will be added to the Lan Clan's family register," Lan Zhan placed a chaste, lingering kiss on his furiously blushing Wei Ying's forehead in front of Ayuan and returned to his position to begin reading his own set of notes.

"Lan Zhaan! Your son is again calling me mama instead of baba. Won't you say something to him, love?" Wei Ying pouted and whined

"Good," Lan Zhan nodded at Ayuan proudly before returning his gaze to his Wei Ying who was clutching at his heart expressing mock hurt, "That's bad Lan Zhan! You father-son duo are ganging up on poor me. Let my baby come to this world and we'll show you both what real ganging looks like!" Wei Ying huffed
