~*Author's POV/ 3rd Person*~

To have some fun, Wuxian saw that Wangji and his brother had just about finished their conversation, so he summoned some air and some leaves drifted with it. Wuxian then tossed it towards Wangji's direction. Wangji snapped his head towards Wuxian's direction and quickly blocked the incoming attack. Wuxian summoned double the amount of air and sent it over again.

Wangji grinned and began to merge his abilities with Wuxian's creating a twister like that had done before. The two then broke the attack and summoned their swords. With a quick lunge forward, Wangji made the first move. Wuxian grinned back at him and blocked the incoming sword.

"Hello, Love," Wuxian said, "sorry to interrupt."

"Mnn, you didn't do much. You and I are equal in strength and energy. You should know that by now I can counter you," Wangji told him.

"I know, I just wanted to have some fun," Wuxian said.

"Hmm," Wangji replied with a chuckle and went to strike again with Bichen.

Wuxian blocked, "nice try," he said.

Wangji grinned and looked behind Wuxian, "Wai Po?" He questioned.

"Huh?" Wuxian turned around to see what Wangji meant but then was suddenly stopped by Bichen at his neck. Wuxian giggled, "A'Zhan you resort to such petty tricks!"

"You fell for it," Wangji said as he put Bichen back in his sheathe.

"That I did," Wuxian said and then tackled Wangji to the ground, "for that you need to be punished."

"I do not think my victory deserves a punishment, I won," Wangji told him.

"Alright," Wuxian said and teleported across the field, "you will not get a kiss from me for at least an hour."

"Alright, let's see if you can last that long," Wangji said.

"Me? Who was it that was desperate for the other to return that they'd bond to them in every way possible as a bargain chip," Wuxian said and sat beside Xichen, "hello Xichen-Ge, I hope you are feeling a bit better."

"I am, and I see you are still teasing Wangji as usual," He said.

Wuxian giggled, "it would not be Wei Ying and Lan Zhan unless I am to make him flustered."

"That is true," Xichen said with a nod.

The two then looked at Wangji who was pouting, "Ge, A'Ying doesn't love me anymore. He refuses to kiss me."

Xichen was trying to keep himself from laughing. He had never expected to hear his brother complain about this kind of thing. He found it kind of adorable, "Didi, look at you. Who is more of a man in this relationship of yours?" He questioned.

Wangji blinked a couple times and then grabbed Wuxian and tossed him over his shoulder, "you are right. I will be back in a bit. A'Ying needs a time out," he said.

"A'Zhan?" Wuxian questions.

Just as Wangji began to walk away a little child's voice came from behind them, "Xian-Gege?"

Wangji stopped walking and put Wuxian down. Wuxian's eyes widened as he turned to the direction of the child's voice, "A'Yuan?" He questioned as he knelt down, "you are awake."

A'Yuan ran to him and hugged him tightly, "Xian-Gege!"

"I am here," Wuxian said, "and you can call me Baba, from now on."

"Baba?" A'Yuan questioned.

Wuxian pulled away from the hug and held A'Yuan's face in his hands, "I wish to adopt you, I am sorry that the rest of your family is gone but I am still here and I will always be there for you, to love and protect you," he said.

"What about Rich-Gege?" A'Yuan questioned, "why did he not come back?"

Wuxian smiled, "he did come back, see," he pointed to Wangji who knelt down beside them.

"Hello again A'Yuan," Wangji replied, "As I am married to your Baba, you can call me A'Die."

"Baba and A'Die!" A'Yuan said happily and looked at the man behind Wangji, "A'Die, that man looks like you."

Wangji smiled and stood up, "A'Yuan, this is my older brother Xichen, your uncle."

"Uncle?" A'Yuan questioned and went over to Xichen, "are you going to make me cry like A'Die did once?"

Xichen grinned, "how did your A'Die make you cry?"

"A'Zhan was in Yiling the same A'Yuan and I was. A'Yuan snuck off while I was talking to a vender and he found A'Zhan. He latched onto his leg so when I found the two, A'Yuan was crying. My guess, A'Zhan just scared A'Yuan at first. He was quickly won over when A'Zhan bought him some toys," Wuxian explained.

Xichen laughed, "that must have been funny."

"It was, I was laughing so hard I had to pull myself together to go help him," Wuxian said.

"Ridiculous," Wangji said.

Wuxian could only laugh as he pulled A'Yuan back into a hug. He couldn't help but cry as he thought he would never be able to hold this child again. Wangji understood Wuxian's pain more than anyone. He lost more than a person could ever possibly imagine but this man was still fighting. It took a lot of encouragement from Wangji but he got Wuxian to come back to him.

Now that A'Yuan was back, Wangji wanted to use some of his abilities to bring back a couple other people that were important to Wuxian. For example, he wanted to bring the Wen siblings back and he wanted to bring Yanli back. He would have to sit down with Baoshan and talk with her about it privately but he feels like she would be okay with this. Those three people deserve to live and if he is to bring Yanli back, he wants to bring her husband back too, so that Jin Ling could grow up with his parents.

Wangji was going to do what he could, but he wondered just how much energy it would take just to bring back four people. He would have to really think about it. He would not want to do anything where it could cost him his own life and cause Wuxian to lose him. That was the last thing Wangji wanted.
