Dimensions Apart (Wangxian)

Foolishly selfless

"It's enough for today, Omega! Let's head back to Cloud Recesses now or you'll catch a cold," Wei Ying said as he came out of the lake, situated behind the back hills just outside the Cloud Recesses, and straightaway went towards Aning holding his clothes and his sleeping baby girl

"You forgot! Nothing can happen to me as long as you're healthy and fine, Wei Ying," Omega Wei Wuxian said as he continued swimming, perfecting his strokes and increasing his speed in every lap covered

"Um...Actually, I didn't, Omega. It's just that-" Wei Ying paused, crinkling his nose and sniffling and finally sneezed, "I'm not very comfortable swimming in the cold water," Wei Ying laughed, embarrassedly, shivering and wearing his clothes as quickly as possible

"Ying ge?!" Wen Ning looked at Wei Ying, worriedly, as it was unheard of, for the cultivators to catch a common cold. Much less for cultivators with a golden core as strong as Wei Ying.

"Aning!" Wei Ying whispered and glared at Wen Ning to keep his mouth shut for a while

"How come you're sneezing?! Aren't you like one of those mighty cultivators who are immune to such common illnesses of ordinary people?" Omega Wei Wuxian asked, sceptically, as he came out of the lake, shaking his shoulder-length grey ombre hair and wearing clothes that looked like his modern world's slim black pants and loose red button-up shirt, thanks to Wei Ying's talisman in copying omega's clothing style as he saw in Empathy. An attempt to make Omega feel a bit more comfortable during his stay in this world.

As for the short hair and greyish-blue hair colour, it was omega Wei Wuxian's decision to keep his own identity, different from the appearance of Wei Ying, and also to try out something new with his look. Something, he wanted to do for a long time but never voiced his thoughts on because his Zhan ge once loved his long black hair.

"I don't know. Maybe because my golden core is still new and unstable?!" Wei Ying shrugged indifferently trying to end the conversation, forgetting that omega Wei Wuxian was just as curious and sharp as him if not more.

"Ah! So, you're saying that you don't know what's wrong with your own health? Especially when you've been particularly careful about your well-being for the soul-bonded little devil and me?" Omega Wei Wuxian asked, observing Wei Ying's reaction, as they walked back to Cloud Recesses

"I'm fine, Omega! Nothing's wrong with me so stop staring at me like that!" Wei Ying whispered, guiding his frowning squirming hungry baby girl inside his robes, to feed her without disturbing her sleep, "Besides, it's not like you'll believe what I'm saying, anyway"

"Wei Ying! Stop it, will you?" Omega Wei Wuxian, shouted, irritatedly, "Just because you all saw something in the eyes of Zhan ge, during Empathy, doesn't mean I should trust your judgement. It wasn't you who suffered those insults, hatred, cheating and betrayal!

It was me! 

And believe me, when I say, I felt Zhan ge's hatred deep in my soul. 

And forget about me, what will you say about what the baby felt? Didn't you say the baby felt Zhan ge's hatred and killing intent towards herself? 

He shot me, Wei Ying! Zhan ge tried to kill me!"

"I know, Omega. And I'm not denying what my little devil felt at that time. Your Zhan ge did want to kill my baby," Wei Ying's arms tightened around his little devil, protectively as a chill ran down his spine, "But, you've also seen my memories. You know, how I always thought my Lan Zhan hated me when it was far from it. And...I've got a feeling that maybe, just maybe your Zhan ge is the same. I'm not saying what he did to you was right or you should forgive him for it but don't you want to know his reason?!
