Dimensions Apart (Wangxian)

“Soo tired!!! I am just so tired! That was the most unexciting and boring conversation I’ve ever heard in my WHOLE LIFE!” Omega Wei Wuxian exclaimed as he slumped on the sofa in the most ungraceful manner.

“What happened to you? Why do you look as if all your fiery energy has been sucked out?!

I clearly remember seeing you running out of the infirmary a while ago, full of excitement. So, what happened now, my dear Ying’er?!” Alpha Lan Wangji asked, biting his cheek to control his laughter

“Oh! Geeee! Stop teasing mee! I bet you already knew it would be so boringgg! Why didn’t you stop me or even give me a heads-up?! Why didn’t you save your precious Ying’er from ageing drastically in just a few hours?!” Omega Wei Wuxian complained, wriggling like an itching caterpillar, lying next to a giggling Wei Ying and Wei Qing, on the same sofa in the living room.

“What happened, Ying? Wasn’t the conversation ‘thrilling’, ‘exciting’, and ‘fun’ as you expected it to be?” Lan Xichen asked amusedly, playing with his adorable daughter, Lan Mei.

“Nooooooo!” Omega Wei Wuxian sighed, exaggeratedly, “I don’t even want to talk about it, please! Can’t we play some games to refresh my mind? I feel like I’ve aged a few weeks just by listening to their conversation. AND I COULDN’T EVEN LEAVE FROM THERE! MY LEGS CRAMPED AT THE ODDEST OF TIMES!!!”

Wei Ying finally burst out laughing, accompanied by the Alpha Lan Wangji, Lan Xichen, Jiang Cheng, Ayuan, an adorably giggling Wei Qing, and even his handsome and ethereal Lan Zhan who smiled, serenely

“You are really happy to leave me, your Xiao Yuan, here in this world, right, beautiful gege?!” Wen Yuan asked in a weak and sad voice, crying quietly, standing in the corner of the room

Wei Ying looked at his Lan Zhan, expectantly to which he sighed before nodding his head in approval.

At once, Wei Ying stood up from the sofa and rushed to pick his Xiao Yuan into his arms, “I am so so sorry, little one. Beautiful gege is really very bad. He made his little doctor cry even after the naughty little doctor did so much for him.”

“No! Beautiful gege is not bad. Wen Yuan is sorry for saying bad words, gege! Please, don’t be angry with your Xiao Yuan! Don’t go, gege. Please, don’t leave me here alone! I will miss you, gege!” Wen Yuan yelled in a quavering and tearful voice

“Listen to me, Xiao Yuan. I am not leaving you. You are a really good boy, the cutest and best doctor in the whole world and this gege is very very proud of you.” Wei Ying said, softly and gently, rubbing soothing circles on Wen Yuan’s back, “I told you earlier, there will be many problems and difficulties if I took you with me, to my world, right?

I don’t want you to suffer pain because of staying with me. I want you to live here with your parents, finish your studies properly and become the best doctor in the world and save millions of lives, just like you saved mine.

And when you do that, I, Wei Ying, your beautiful gege promise you, to return here and give you a special gift. A gift that will help you to see me and talk to me, whenever you’ll want. Do you believe me?!”

“Really?!” Wen Yuan asked, hopefully

“Really! I never break my promises. You can ask anyone here. They will all tell you the same thing.” Wei Ying said confidently, smiling brightly when Wen Yuan looked at his Ayuan out of all the people present in the room, for confirmation.

“Mama is saying right, Xiao Yuan. He never breaks his promises. Not on his own, at least.” Ayuan said honestly

“Oh!” Wen Yuan slumped into Wei Ying’s arms, feeling disheartened all over again.
