Never My Mistake [WangXian / XianWang Fanfic]

CH 3

Sadly, Dr. Handsome did not return to check on him before he was discharged. It was a bummer, you know. But Wei Wuxian was nothing but a determined young man, and he would surely get what he wanted. 

What did he want from Dr. Handsome anyway? A reaction? Dr. Handsome was not that stoic. 

Was his ego bruised? Maybe? He really did not care and not everything needed a reason. 

He just wanted to bug Dr. Handsome. He knew he liked a person when he met the person and just one encounter was enough. It applied to all his relationships. Friendships and business partnerships, among others.

Wei Wuxian stood up when the doorbell rang. Jiang Cheng had the guts to put him under house arrest for a week. What a bummer! He couldn't meet Dr. Handsome. The man probably missed him. Who wouldn't miss my pretty ass?

The doorbell kept on ringing and it was annoying the hell out of him. "Coming!" His lower abdomen was healing just fine. There was still a numb pain, however, tolerable.

He opened the door and found his mother dressed in a collared shirt and pair of trousers, like the cool woman that she was. "Ahh~ mama! Welcome to my humble abode!"

His mother smacked his head. "You're gone for almost a week. You did not even contact me, you ungrateful child!"

Wei Wuxian engulfed his mother in a hug. He, then, leaned his head on his mother's. "Calm down, my child."

His mother pressed a finger on his wound making Wei Wuxian grunt in pain. The press was not that hard but it hurt. "Fuck, mama!" He regretted his words just after they left his mouth.

"AHH~ lift your shirt! Were you injured again? How many times do I have to tell you to stop going around and fight? Why don't you stay still and manage our business? What do you get from managing your small gang?"

Wei Wuxian grimaced. This was why he didn't want his mother to know. Ever since his father died, his mother had been a nagger, nagging here and there, nagging all day. It was annoying as fuck but he loved his mother tremendously and would take all the nags she had. Really, she loved her so much. "Ma, this isn't from my gang activities. This was when someone tried robbing me. I was alone, then, to get some booze. I was just unlucky that day."

"Who were those people, A-Ying?"

"You're gonna have them killed?" He gasped dramatically causing his mom to sneer at him. "Oh, mother, mama, my mama, there is no need for such! I already beat them up and they were sent to jail." He side-hugged her as she guided him inside. 

Wei Wuxian was clingy and sweet to people he liked. He liked Jiang Cheng but he was not physically clingy with his best friend because he'd die if he tried to be clingy with that man.

"I don't kill, Wei Wuxian! What are you talking about?!" His mother's eyes were wide in disbelief.

Wei Wuxian laughed. His mom even used his full name! "Have you seen your face? Of course, you didn't."

"I swear to God, A-Ying. You are not to kill anybody!" His mother pointed a finger at him.

"Yes, yes. Blah, blah, blah. I have heard that a dozen times. I don't kill, mama." He grinned mischievously. "I make them kill themselves." His mother smacked his head again.

"Go, freshen up, young man. I arranged a date for you. It is time for you to go on serious dates. You have made your gang your girlfriend. Did any of your members even visit you?" His mother scoffed.

"Look around, mama. I got many flowers and get well soon cards. They fucking care." Dread was slowly consuming him at the prospect of dating a random girl. But, he couldn't say no to his mother. They compromised in so many ways. He just had to try and see the girl.

"Whatever. Hurry up, boy." His mother sat on the sofa. "Your house could use a good cleaning, A-Ying. I'll call someone to deep clean this pad." She exhaustedly relaxed more on the sofa. "Gosh, you need someone to take care of you."

I don't!

Wei Wuxian was listening to the girl who was babbling about things. Well, for the record, he was not an ass to his dates. He listened. He tried to be nice and considerate. He even cut the steak for them. He kindly told them to fuck off too. 

Ahh~ always so kind, A-Ying. I deserve a raise in heaven.

"Really? You like me?" He asked while cutting his steak. He couldn't blame the lady for liking him. 

He was wearing a fitted black button-up shirt and his hair was styled mullet gelled with little strands falling on his forehead. He looked like a fucking fine man. And he knew that!

"Yeah, I would really like for us to go on another date," she smiled sweetly.

They had just barely begun eating. Wei Wuxian chuckled. And He did not want it to be awkward. Plus, this was free food from his mother. What a waste it would be. 

"We'll see later," he simply smiled dashingly

The restaurant door opened. Just about his luck! He saw Dr. Handsome coming in. He laughed and sipped his wine.

I am too lucky for my own good!

His eyes never left the man as Dr. Handsome sat on one of the seats. His hands were on the table and his long sleeves rolled to three-fourths. 

Wei Wuxian licked his lips. 

He would like to be friends with Dr. Handsome. 

Seeing he was alone, Wei Wuxian devised a plan. Ahh~ my just my good old brain working and grinding.

Smirking, Wei Wuxian placed his fork and knife on the plate. "Miss, uhm, I am sorry if I wasted your time. Really, you look lovely today. But I realized that I am really not invested in dating." He kept his voice calm and soft.

The girl looked offended but still maintained a serene face. "Oh. Well, then." She stood up and left, wordless. Wei Wuxian was a bit guilty, but he was just forced to do this. Ugh!

What a waste of food. Wei Wuxian stood up and waltzed his way to Dr. Handsome who was focused on reading a self-help book whatever. He really didn't know. 

Wei Wuxian sat across from the doctor. Uninvited. "Can I invite myself and accompany my very handsome friend?"

"You just did, Mr. Wei," the doctor said without giving him a glance. "Be my guest."

Wei Wuxian laughed. He remembers my name! The doctor's memory was sharp. Are all doctors this sharp? 

"Order for me, please?" He perched his chin on his palm with his elbow resting on the table. "Please, Dr. Handsome."

Well, what an interesting turn of events.
