[ Xicheng ] - My Human

Chapter 11

[ WITH LAN XICHEN... ]

Lan Xichen rushed into the room to see Lan Wangji sitting with Uncle. Though his Uncle couldn't tell, Lan Xichen could clearly tell how tense Lan Wangji was, as his grip tightened on a teacup.

Lan Xichen took a deep breath before addressing his brother and uncle. "Uncle, Xiong Zhan. What has happened?" Lan Qiren looked up, his gaze dark as the night sky. "Xichen, we have been informed that we will have to prepare for war."

Lan Wangji looked like he wanted to kill his teacup.

Lan Xichen looked blankly at his uncle. "Uncle I dont understand..." Lan Qiren sighed in frustration. "Xichen I will not repeat myself. We are going to war, and I would like you and Wangji to lead the troops." Lan Xichen blinked. "Uncle... who are we even going to war against?" Lan Qiren stared straight at him. "We will be allying ourselves with the Wen Sect, and going to war against the Yunmeng Jiang Sect." 

*CRACK!*

Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren turned to see Lan Wangji's bloody hand, crushing pieces of glass deeper into his skin. He looked up coldly and said. "I refuse." Lan Qiren looked furious. "Wangji this is not up to me! We must-" "I refuse." Lan Qiren looked ready to explode. Not only was Lan wangji going against his uncle, he had also interrupted him. He had definitely broken more than a few rules. "WANGJI-" "Uncle I will not." Lan Wangji responded. His expression remained the same, but he had an air of anger around him. His eyes gleamed with malice. He stood up, and bowed to Lan Qiren. "I refuse. That is final." Lan Qiren was shaking from head to toe. Lan Wangji bowed and left the room. 

"What has gotten into that child?!" Lan Qiren fumed. He paced the room angrily, then snorted. "Very well. It will take time, but I will convince Wangji to participate. Xichen-"

"Uncle."

Lan Qiren stopped and turned around angrily, to meet a tear-faced Lan Xichen. He kept the same angry and fuming face, but deep inside, he was shocked to the core. Lan Xichen never cried. He always kept a smile on his face, and seeing his nephew cry, something burned deep in him. Perhaps... guilt?...

"Xichen. I will deal with no nonsense today. You will-"

"UNCLE."

Lan Xichen half shouted. Tears fell one by one from his face. "I will not fight against that Sect. I will not-" "XICHEN HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND WE ARE UP AGAINST THE WEN SECT WE HAVE NO CHOICE!" Lan Qiren shouted. "WE HAVE TO-" "You can." Lan Qiren calmed down a little. "So you have some sense-" "You can, but I will not." Lan Qiren's eyes widened. "XICHEN-" Lan Xichen stared up at his uncle. His face somber and tear streaked. "I will not fight against the Sect of someone I love."

Lan Qiren's face was blank for a moment.

Love...

Xichen...

Love...

XICHEN LOVE???....

"XICHEN YOU-" 

Lan Xichen's face remained somber and dark as he bowed to Lan Qiren. "I will take my leave now, Uncle."

Lan Qiren was still struggling to find words when his other nephew finally left the room. 

Lan Xichen...
