Bound By It (Xianwang)

To Gusu Village (2)

Wei Wuxian

"What Wen Qing is there? But..."

"A-cheng, why don't you take a few days off and join us. I can help you, you'll be able to talk with her in peace. What do you think?"

"Umm...no, I can...talk to her when she comes back home. She might already be stressed out due to her parents forcing her to marry and I don't wanna add to it. Plus I can't take leave from hotel now, business is pretty good this season so my absence will result in loss."

"Is loss gonna be that huge? Come on man, get your ass here."

"You remember the hotel not just belong to my dad but your dad too has a share, by the time he comes back to China I need to be prepared with everything, can't afford to make any mistakes or else I'll be the one answerable. And how can I just come there? I have no reason to and that will look fishy."

"Dr. Jin's boyfriend Kuan ge is here, he has helped us alot, I thought you could join too and help us...I mean your baby girl out"

"Shut up Wuxian, I don't think I can make it, may be next time. The place you said sounds so far." there, Jiang Cheng was chickening out again.

"Haa...fine then" I said as my eyes fell on Nie Huaisang, he motioned if Jiang Cheng will be coming and I shook my head 'no' in reply. Suddenly an idea popped up "A-cheng then I think you should forget her."

"WEI WUXIAN...."

"What? I'm not gonna make any move, she is my sister in law but bro you have to see her now, she is grown even more pretty and Huaisang has been talking about her non stop the moment they met." I winked at him and he gave a thumps up with an approving smile.

"Who? Huaisang? Why?"

"I'm your cousin and his friend, I have to support both of you. As you are not brave enough to make a bold move on her and directly tell her what you feel, I think Huaisang will get the girl. He has been flirting with her from the time we arrived and has been telling me by the end of this camp she is gonna be his."

"That's not possible" Jiang Cheng was loosing it now, he has loved her from the time he remembered, no way he was letting anyone else be with her.

"You know he has a sweet mouth, I won't be surprised if she fall for him, anyone would and you are tight lipped, what difference will it make even if you come here?"

"Send location...."

A smile of victory spread on my face hearing that, "No internet, I'll give you the address and tell you how to get here. Check SMS. By the way are you coming?" I pretended to be surprised.

"...."

The other side was silent so I continued "I thought your absence will cause huge loss for the hotel and that you'll be answerable to dad."

"I'm coming...."

"Oh...it's tough to get here, you stay back there..." before I could finish Jiang Cheng said

"WEI WUXIAN, I'm coming.....you keep an eyes on that Huaisang." and the call disconnected.

I gave Huaisang a thumps up brushing my wet hair,"Romeo will be here soon to get his Juliet."

"Wuxian...."I heard Dr.Jin call me and turned....

Lan Wangji

"There" I said placing the heavy boxes of food down on the huge table "You start distributing them, I'll get water." I told Dr.Wen who smiled and nodded. I hurried off and went back with 2 huge cans of water.
