CHAPTER 4: BARBECUE CONFESSIONS

I really thought this was going to be a close family barbecue, I mean my mom, dad, siblings, maybe some friends and sect disciples. But as soon as I wake up, I realize it has to be a little bit more special than I thought, because my mom is very stressed and the maids are running from one side to the other. I go to the kitchen to grab something to eat, I look at the hour and oh my it's eleven thirty, the barbecue is supposed to start at twelve thirty. I run to my room and start changing, fortunately I know myself enough. Yesterday when I was about to sleep, I remembered that every time we have a gathering, I wake up late, so I decided to take a bath at night.

I go out of my room and see a lot of Yunmeng Jiang disciples dressed up in formal clothes, while I'm in a casual outfit. As I stare curious at them my mother calls me

-Wei Wuxian, what are you wearing?

-Good morning mom... just a casual outfit?

-Go change into formal sect robes, I forgot to tell you, but we have important guests attending at this party

-Who exactly? -My mother looks at me directly, it seems like she is battling between telling me or not

-Just go change- She decides not to tell me, anyways, who can be important enough to gather the whole sect and clean the house till it's perfect?

I go back to my room and change my clothes into formal robes, oh now that I remember, I told Lan Zhan that he could come, maybe I should tell him to wear GusuLan formal sect robes. That sounds rational, I'm going to call him, thanks God I asked for his number at the beginning of the semester.

-Hey, Lan Zhan

-Wei Ying?

-So, remember I told you about today's party?

-Mnn

-Well it seems like some important people will be coming, so if you don't mind, can you come dressed in formal GusuLan robes?

-Mnn

-Thanks Lan Zhan, see you soon!!- I hang up the call, maybe I should've waited for an answer, uh never mind he would've just said mnn. While I'm thinking of this someone opens abruptly my door.

-Hey Jiang Cheng, could you be more careful with my door and at least knock before coming inside- He looks at me and rolls his eyes

-Something weird is happening, do you know who's coming?- A-Cheng questions me

-Dude if mom didn't tell you, much less me

-Mmm right- someone knocks the door

-Xianxian can I come in?

-Oh shijie, of course, see Jiang Cheng a knock on the door isn't that difficult, right a-jie? -She giggles

-You two stop quarreling, how old are you? Hurry up, mom says guests have already arrived

-A-jie, who are the guests? -She looks at me worriedly and turns around, A-Cheng and I follow her down stairs. When I look at the guests, I just think this can't be real, I look at my brother as he hisses and spits -That damn peacock- A-Li takes our hands and smiles, we both relax and look at each other, it seems like we are having the same thoughts.

My sister's marriage has been planned since my mom married, she and Zixuan's mother made an agreement, if they both had girls the would've become best friends. If they both had boys, the boys would've become sworn brothers, and finally if one of them had a boy and the other one a girl, they would be destined to marry. That's how my beautiful shijie ended up engaged to that spoiled brat. Of course, A-Cheng and I have always opposed this engagement, because talking seriously Zixuan treats our shijie the worst, always humiliating her.
