"Hanguang-Jun" Sizhui grins as he stands in front of me "teach me to play the Zither!"

Hanguang-Jun? Finally they stopped calling me Hang-jun.

"Seems you have a new disciple, Wangji" brother smiles as he stands beside Sizhui. He looks around and his eyes crinkle "and the only one".

"Yeah that's cause everyone's scared of Hang-jun" Jingyi grins as he peeps at us, hiding behind brother.

Hang-jun! There you go again. I sigh. This is getting old.

"Jingyi!" Sizhui glares "don't say that!"

"Jingyi, which instrument do you want to learn?" Brother enquires.

"Flute" he smiles proudly.

"Why?" Sizhui looks curiously at Jingyi.

"I don't know. You make it seem easy" he looks up at brother in awe and I remember a child from a distant past who looked at his brother with same awe.

"Hey, learning the Zither from Hang-jun is easy too" Sizhui retorts and I sigh.

"Hang-jun" Jingyi turns to look at me with a serious contemplation "I have heard that you play well".

Oh?

Brother laughs lightly as Jingyi questions "Why don't you take part in those performance competition?"

What?

He further explains "Those competitions where they hold them annually. Performers from all around gather and showcase their talents".

I look at my brother and he's out there laughing.

"Jingyi!" Sizhui glares again "how can you expect Hang-jun to perform?"

"Why not?" Jingyi pouts.

"He's so old!" Innocence pours out  from him and here I am unable to control my annoyance. When I look at my brother, his face is beet red. He's laughing!

"Maybe finally a girl would marry him then!" Saying that Jingyi runs away and Sizhui runs behind him.

"Running is forbidden" I say but my brother pats my shoulders and shakes his head.

"They're gone, Wangji" he wheezes and I stare at him.

"Those two remind me of someone I once knew" he tones down his amusement and looks at their retreating backs "they two were like them. One quiet and the other instigator" he looks at me "don't you agree?"

Wei Ying.

"Wangji" he's about to say something but pauses and instead, the amusement is back in his eyes, he teases "shall we tell Jingyi, he wrong about the girl deduction?"

"You need to punish him" I glare at my brother.

"Why?" Yes he is amused.

"Because they called you ZewuJun and me Hang-jun" I walk away as I hear him laugh out loud.
