Back To the Past

Chapter Eight

"W-Wei Wuxian what did you do?"  Wei Ying's eyes widen seeing the flowing blood come out of the male before him. His yellow robe was now dyed red. His eyes were losing its life. 

"I-I ... no I-" No words came out even if Wei Wuxian tried. Everything was repeating again. Except for this time it happened in cloud Resses with every clan there to witness that he used resentment energy.

"Monster!"

"He's using Resentment!" 

Get away from him!"

"Cursed"

Everyone shouted profanities at the boy who backed away. 

//Wei Wuxian's POV//

My mind became hazy from everything that was going on. Just a minute ago I was shouting at Jin Zixuan and then the next minute everything was silent. Everyone backed away from me. I looked over to Jiang Cheng and even he looked shocked. My gaze went over to my ShiJie and I regret even looking because of the fear in her eyes. I didn't want this. How could I have messed up? That too this quickly. My breath became heavy as I tried to breathe. Everything started spinning and before I knew it I was on the ground gasping for air. Nobody came to help me.

I was alone again. 

"Wei Wuxian!" I heard but it was getting too loud to hear anything. The ringing in my ears soon turned into painful screams and all I wanted to do was get out and leave everything behind. I wanted to disappear as I didn't want to see those stares of disappointment and disgust directed towards me.

"Wei Wuxian!" 

My eyes snap open and I'm met with the wooden ceiling of the Inn. I turn my head to see a worried-looking Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng. Though Jiang Cheng looked more concerned than worried. 

"W-What happened?" I asked, my voice came out raspy due to the dryness in my throat. Both of them sighed. As I tried to sit up Lan Zhan was quick to pull me into his warm embrace. I was still confused wasn't I at Cloud Resses? Is Jin Zixuan dead?

"A Nightmare..." Jiang Cheng finally said. "You were having a nightmare... screaming and then you couldn't breathe ... we panicked and woke you up as soon as possible..." he explained pausing a few times. A sigh of relief left me knowing that I hadn't messed up this second chance...

Yet.

The lectures continued once Shufu- I mean once Grandmaster Lan arrived. 

*sigh*

Though we started off on a bad start the old man wasn't that bad. Now thinking about it he must've been just worried and concerned for both his nephew while also handling the clan. And with everything that was going on. I want the old man I know back. He gets angry with everything I do but I at least know that he would stand up for me. 

Surprising right?

"Wow, Wei-Xiong your painting on the lantern looks better than even mine!" Nie Huaisang said admiring the artwork. I smirked feeling proud. I had drawn two bunnies representing both me and Zhan. When I look over to Lan Zhan I see that he had drawn some musical notes on his. Now if I hadn't known him I wouldn't have known what the song was. but I think we all know which song it is.

//No One's POV//

Everyone was getting ready to release their lanterns into the already night-turning sky. Wei Wuxian smiled as Lan Wangji came and stood next to him and gave him a small smile. If they were alone he would have given him a soft kiss on his forehead but unfortunately, that was not the case right now.
