The house settled into a normal, quiet, peaceful life and Yunlan was able to return to his office to work which felt like a lifetime ago, while Shen Wei healed. His sleep was restful and his fear of anything related to snakes or eggs had slipped into the background of his mind, giving him the chance to begin another design project if he wished. However, he still owned the land around the old college ruins and came up with a new solution to that problem which seemed very simple and he wished he'd thought of it earlier. Wei transferred ownership to Kunlun AI.
Every enquiry would now go directly to Kunlun's email address and he could deal with it. He also had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with the ground, and he became a mysterious land owner who was never seen. This appealed to him in so many ways, that it gave him a new zest for life and he could see a multitude of ways of having fun.
The artist returned, painting less but his work popped up in different rooms, as if he had taken over the house as his private art gallery which made it slightly more difficult for Ying to keep track of all the paintings. Therefore the world seemed to be smiling on this weird and wonderful family for a while, allowing them to live in peace, temporarily.
Apep had kept his distance from Shen Wei after he'd found out about the cruel backlash, finding it easier to hide when he saw him coming rather than face any confrontation. He never knew that his spirit presence would have caused so much pain in Wei's mind, even though he needed his strength during that time, and he moved out, back to his original position on the weapon wall in his master's office.
This morning, Yunlan awoke with an unwelcome feeling of nausea which he recognised from every time that Wei was in trouble, but he wasn't, he was lying beside him asleep and breathing normally with a look of contentment, and the feeling passed. Shen Wei stretched while he yawned before he opened his eyes and saw Yunlan gazing at him.
"Good morning A.Lan, did you have a good sleep?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes and yawned for a second time. Yunlan could only think of sugary answers to that question while he gazed at this incredible person beside him and answered with one word.
"Yes," he said while he smiled non-stop as he watched Wei stretch his limbs again before rising to go and get dressed in the bathroom.
The aroma of Ava's cooking filled the room and Yunlan swung himself around to rise and get out of bed but nausea hit him hard and fast, causing him to double over as he fell back towards the bed and sat down. Shen Wei is alright, he kept telling himself and as if to prove the point, he emerged from the bathroom looking exquisite wearing his blue suit today, he was going to see Kunlun AI and find out his plans for the old ground.
"I'll see you downstairs when you're ready my love, you're slow this morning, are you tired?" Wei asked as he looked at Yunlan who was faking a smile, and answered no, waiting until he'd left the room before he let his expression slide. He needed answers and he curled up on the bed and closed his eyes in preparation to visit the Enigma Room.
