“I'm sorry, even how much you protest that he is your son, I will never believe you unless you have proof.” I stated, crossing my arms and legs at the same time. She then rolled her eyes, “Fine, just call him down here.” the woman said in a voice that would make you feel irritated for some reason. I nodded and called Ganyu over, “Tell Venti and Xiao to get down here, okay.” I said, Ganyu nodded, then slowly ran upstairs.
After a few 3 minutes Venti and Xiao arrived. When Venti saw the woman, I swore he literally went pale. I then smiled at Venti, patting the space beside me. Venti sat down, Xiao followed after.
Venti gulped, “So.. why'd you call me Mr. Zhongli..?” Venti asked, sweating slightly. “I just wanted to confirm if this woman is indeed your mother.” I stated to him. Venti just nodded, looking so uneasy. Gosh, I feel so bad for that boy.
“So, is she your mother?” Childe asked, looking at the woman enraged. The woman smirked slyly. I looked at the side to see Venti, he gulped, he seemed a little tense, a little too tense. He then slowly nodded, “S..she is my mother..” Venti answered Childes question, biting his lip. I could literally see Xiaos face become dark. The woman then smiled widely, “See, I am his mother.” the woman said, “So that means I have the rights to bring him home.” she continued. “You abused him..! Do you really think we'll let you take him!?” I shouted, furious. Venti was shaking beside me as Xiao held him close. “Oh gosh darn, where even is your proof? He probably just made that up so he couldn't go home. That brat is a liar.” The woman replied to me with a grin. Childe stood up, “Listen you bitch, it's been 40 minutes since you've been here, I think you need to leave our property.” Childe said, trying to keep his cool. “No, I'm not leaving without Venti.” The woman replied, frowning. Childe was so mad, trying his best not throw hands at the woman. I also stood up, “its either you leave or we're going to call the cops on you.” I interfere with a dark face. “Oh? Calling the cops is no use, I could just tell them that you kidnapped my child and I'm only trying to get him back.” the woman said, a sickeningly innocent smile formed on her face, that made me mad. I slapped her face, hard.
“Leave.” I said. The woman looked at me and smirked. “Fine, but I'll be back tomorrow.” She said, gently rubbing the area that I slapped her on. She then stoop up from the couch and walked out the door with a smirk. I sighed, “Finally.” Childe said, “Yes, finally.” I replied. We both then looked at Venti was almost in tears. I sighed again, approaching him and hugging him. “I'll go ahead and make us tea, I'll be back.” Childe said, as me, Venti and Xiao nodded. He smiled softly before walking off.
Ganyu and Hutao walked to the couch to check if Venti is okay. “Hey, Venti, are you okay..?” Ganyu asked as I pulled I away fr Venti. “Yeah, I'm fine..” Venti replied, teary eyed. Hutao then sighed and and sat down on the couch next to Ganyu. “I'll prepared tea with Childe okay, we'll be back.” I said, as the children nodded in response. I then stood up and walked over to where Childe is.
“Hey hon..” I said, tapping his shoulder. “Yes, love?” Childe replied, smiling gently. After awhile, I still haven't replied. He sighed, “Are you okay love?” he asked me so softly but still, I did not reply. He sighed again, hugging me. “Love..” he said. “Sorry hon..” I replied, burring my face on his neck. “You don't have to be sorry.” Childe said, patting my back. “I don't feel comfortable leaving Venti alone anymore. He may not be our son but I already see him as one. I'm scared that his mom will take him away from us, then hurt his precious soul.” I stated to Childe while grabbing his clothes so tight that it might rip. “I know, I'm scared also..” Childe replied, kissing my face all over. “We should continue making the tea though.” Childe said, chuckling. I nodded and we then pulled off each other.
After we made the tea we walked to the living room, placing the tea on the coffee table. “Tea's ready!” Childe said loudly. The children then sat up and and nodded. Even though it's been 25 minutes since that sick woman left I still see Venti shaking. Sigh, poor boy.
Xiao poured tea in his tea cup, he then looked at Venti and smiled a little, he then handed his tea cup to Venti, “You can have that since you're struggling pouring yourself a cup of tea.” Xiao said chuckling, Venti then pouted and mumbled a little thank you. Ah, young love indeed. Which remindes me of Guizhong and I when we were in highschool but we don't talk about that-
Me and Ganyu were having a conversation about her grades, gosh I'm so proud of her! “I never thought that actually have a score of 109 out of 110..” Ganyu said, I smiled, “I'm so proud of you.” I said, as a hugged her. “Hey, what about me!?” Hutao exclaimed with a pout, me and Ganyu giggled as I pulled Hutao into a hug. Xiao just rolled his eyes, “Don't tell me you want a hug too~” Childe said with a smirk, “No.” Xiao said, rolling his eyes. All of us chuckled, “Awe, Venti, I think your boyfriend needs a hug alsooo~!” Hutao said grinning making Xiao turn a bit pink. Ah, my son is so cute, definitely got it from Guizhong. Venti then giggled before he sat on Xiaos lap and hugging him. Xiao sighed, hugging Venti back. “Ehe~” Venti said, giving Xiao little kisses on the cheek.
—~—
I know it's been 3 hours and that it's already 10pm but I still couldn't sleep, thinking— even though Venti has been through a lot of traumatic stuff he still manges to smile and act like a sane person but at the same time not. Boy, you're so confusing...
