Apples

       "Thank you that would be ten yuan*" The old lady handed some apples to a young man and waved goodbye as he went. "Come again!"
*Yuan: currency*
       He was dressed from head to toe like a noble and had clean white robes that almost reached the ground. The rim of it was outlined with a soft blue color and he had a headband embedded with blue strands.
       "What took you so long, SiZhui?" Another person dressed in the same outfit as him sat on the grass waiting for him. He had two other people with him as well.
       "Oh sorry the line was long," SiZhui said as he sat down on the rock next to them and handed out the apples.
       "Yeah sure that excuse again," Another friend of his said, rolling his eyes. He sat on SiZhui's left side wearing a bright yellow robe adorned with a flower symbol at his chest. "Try to be even a littler faster? Me, JingYi and A-Ning* are bored!"
*A-Ning: a cute and friendly was of saying Wen Ning*
       JingYi pop out from his seat and integrated him. "And since when have you become so close to Wen Ning?"
       "What do you mean? I've been practicing with him for a while so I thought I might as well," he mumbled as he took a bit of his apple.
       "Jin Ling it's fine, you don't need to say it like that." Wen Ning patted JingYi's back. "JingYi, you can call me A-Ning too. I really don't mind." SiZhui giggled at the groups little argument.
       "Ok fine! From now on we can all call each other whatever we want!" SiZhui suggested. He stood up as he talked and walked in front of them.
       "Ning MaMa* SiZhui is acting like a grown up again!" JingYi complained and point at him.
*Ning MaMa: He basically called him mother Ning*
       "Since when have I become a mother?" Wen Ning said as rested his head on his knees.
       "Because SiZhui doesn't have one and he needs a mother figure to help him grow up." JingYi answered. He took another bite of his apple before he spoke again. "Since you're basically his cousin I think it was be a good fit!"
       "Wrong, I have 2 fathers and they are doing quiet well!" SiZhui huffed. "Hurry up and eat. I've got the report to do when we get back." His apple was all eaten to the core at this point. 
       "Speaking of which, do you know when Master Wei and Master Lan are coming to visit?" Wen Ning asked.
       "I don't know actually I've haven't heard from them for a while," SiZhui answered.
       "Didn't you say they were raising you well?" Jin Ling teased. SiZhui threw the apple core at him barely missing.
       SiZhui huffed, "Yeah, and? They haven't visited because of  Lan Qiren's disapproval of them. His behavior towards Senior Wei is bad enough but now he doesn't even approve his own Nephew being gay?" He recklessly say straight back to the ground. 
       "Wow, Never seen you so upset," JingYi stretched and laid down on the grass.
       "Well, they're my family of course I would act like that," JingYi mumbled something under his breath.
       "Or maybe you're like them."
       "Did you say something?" SiZhui asked.
       "Oh no, I didn't you must be hearing things old man," 
       They weren't far from the Cloud recess. Maybe just at the end of the busy streets but it wasn't loud or busy. Jin Ling relaxed and laid across from JingYi. Wen Ning joined along with SiZhui and soon all four of them laid down in a square. Time stood still for a moment, to the point of where the clouds seem to stop moving.
       "We should get going we're gonna be in trouble,"Sizhui said. He got up first and walked towards the Cloud recess, Wen Ning followed him with JingYi close behind as they chatted. Jin ling was walking a little slower but stopped as he saw something red next to his feet.
       "SiZhui, you dropped an apple!" He called out. SiZhui turned around and stopped to meet Jin Ling. 
       "Oh thanks, A-Ling," 
       "What?" Jin Ling said, flustered.
       "A-Ling, we agreed to called each other what we want remember,"
       Jin Ling smacked his head, "Yeah right, forgot." He handed him the apple. "Well here's the apple, why did you buy so many anyways?" They paced themselves.
       "Oh, I bought them because they were on sale and Wen Ning doesn't eat," SiZhui said. He placed them in the bag he was carrying with him, "So I'm planning to leave it for later or I'll give it to the bunnies as a snack."
       "Hahahahaha, you think bunnies eat them?"
       "Who knows? Maybe Little Apple* would like some?"
        *Little Apple: the name of Wei WuXian's donkey (he really likes apples)*
       JingYi happened to over hear them laugh in the background. "Wen Ning, is it me or does the Yunmeng Jiang sect and the Gusu Lan Sect somehow get together?"
      "What do you mean?" Wen Ning asked. He was kicking a rock on the side of the road.
      "Like first, senior Wei and Hanguang-Jun's marriage, Jiang WanYi and Zewu-jun are dating, and now SiZhui and Jin Ling's obvious crush on SiZhui," JingYi said. He rested his arms around his head and sighed.
      "Well, Jin Ling isn't from the Yunmeng sect," Wen Ning whispered so only JingYi could hear, but he got distracted and lost his rock.
      "True, but his mother was so, technically he has their blood," he paused for a second. "but then..."
      "But what?"
      "Why is lan top?"
