Win you Again

Meeting you again

Chapter 5

" Wangji do you really want to meet him today?" Father asked me.

" If it's not a bother to father and if Father wants I would gladly accept the offer." I responded.

" Let's go out now Wangji and announce to them that I am ending my seclusion. After that let's say we will celebrate in Yiling. Well it's not a lie because we won't tell them what we are celebrating for..."

"Mn... Must bring Xiongzhang too to avoid suspicion." I said seriously.

" It's seems like my Wangji is learning how to make a reason." Father tease.

" Learned from the best." I return the tease

" Are you saying Wangji that I'm the best?" Father ask with a smirk. He don't know that I know how to play with words.

" Not you my Wei Ying." I said with a smirk.

"Wangji you're learning how to tease people. Your shamelessly flaunting your love in front of your father." Father said while sulking.

" Must keep up. I'm married to the most shameless man in Yunmeng and my father is the tease king of Gusu. Wangji don't want to be left behind." I said proudly.

"Enough with this nonsense teasing... Let's go to the elders and end my seclusion after that you, me, and Xichen will go to Yiling to meet your BELOVED." Father said emphasizing the word 'beloved' which earned him the famous ice look of Hanguang Jun.

My father and I went to the elders and did what we planned. Then, we went to get Xiongzhang, who is currently in class. After that, we went out of gusu.

Since my brother and I are still too young and can't ride our swords, we went and ride a boat to Yiling.

While riding the boat...

" Xichen how was your class?" Father asked brother.

" It's fine father... Father if I may, may I ask a question?" Brother answered father and throw another question. I can see doubt in his eyes. Father looked at me. I nod knowing what my brother want to asked. I know he want to asked why we're going to Yiling. After all, my brother lived more than 4 decades together. If my brother is expert 'Wangji' reader, I'm also expert 'Xichen' reader.

"Uhmm... What is it Xichen?" Father asked like he don't know what's going on.

"Caiyi town is nice... But why are we still travelling as far as Yiling?" Xiongzhang ask curiously.

" Uhmm... You know what's the purpose of bonding with my son if we will just stay near... and you know losing your mother made me very lonely and every time I see caiyi town I can remember him. That is why I want a new place a far a way one so that I can spend more time with my sons. You know I miss you guys that is why I want to be with you." Father reasoned. Well it's a clean lie it's true and not a lie coz I can see the guilt in father's eyes but not the entire truth.

"But why did you choose Yiling? I mean we could go to Yunmeng, Qinghe, Lanling, Meishan and other places." Brother voiced out.

" Because Yiling don't have any clan post though the Jiang's and Wen are keeping it safe." Father reasoned out. During their discussion I'm just listening to what they are talking about until we reach the dock of Yiling.

" So let's roam around." Father said while winking at me.

My heart is already beating so hard. I must find him wherever he is.

We start roaming around. My eyes kept gazing on the alleyways, pavements and even garbage damp. I need to look for him for him not to suffer again.

" Let's go first to the tavern. I'm hungry let's continue roaming around later. Wangji... Xichen..." Father said and brother nodded. I don't want to rest maybe just maybe he will run around here while we are eating. I already bought him a rattle drum just like what I gave to him before... It did not happen yet it will happen 2 years from now.
