Slipping Away

12. They Should: Take It Back

Wei Wuxian-
Jingyi forgot to grab the container with the Saiche Hime in it. I'll just take it to him, Lan Zhan's writing another book again. Probably righteousness, after what old man Qiren caught us doing I'm surprised he hasn't had a heart attack. So we have to write the while book of righteousness...I started but it's to boring. I thing Lan Zhan will do it for me. After all everyday means everyday, not a day less and sometimes my wrist hurts after that if you get what I mean. I found Jingyi with a tray of broken glass at his feet and a dead look to his posture. "Jingyi? What's up?" He flinched and straightened up. "Nothing senior Wei...I just haven't gotten rid of all the bugs yet. Please excuse me now..." He walked away rather quickly without a single glance at me. "Hey can someone call a servant to clean this up-" "Does no one fucking do their job around here!? There's broken glass everywhere, clean it up now!" I covered my ears sarcastically at Jiang Chengs yelling and walked into the hall. "Senior Wei..." "What? You look like you got caught in a lie." "I do?" "Yeah..." "How long was he listening!?" "Who Jingyi? I don't know, he was bringing you guys some tea and candy." "Why?" "So he could explain himself. What'd you do? Or say...?" I watched A-Yuan flinch and the other juniors slumped some. Jin Ling looked out the window. "Spit it out...or I'll get Jiang Cheng on you Jin Ling, and Lan Zhan on the rest of you." "Sizhui can explain." I waited with my arms crossed and watched Sizhuis silence slowly crumble, smirking smugly on the inside of course. He truly is my son. "Ok fine! Jingyi hasn't been himself for months and we're tired of it so we decided we don't want him around anymore! We took a vote and no one wants him so just give him away to Zuwu Jun or someone, he has four students only so he'd be happy to take Jingyi on-" I couldn't help the half snort, half laugh that escaped my lips at their actions. Petty really. "Well I hope your happy, just when he stopped crying you all probably started it again." "He's shameless senior Wei...none of us want to be around that..." "It's ok. Lan Zhan will hand him over the Jingyi we all love and you all can keep the Jingyi from the last few months." "That makes no sense senior Wei." "I'll put it more simpler for you. Zuwu Jun may have Jingyi, per your requests, a d you all can have the Saiche Hime that got under his skin. Here. Introduce yourselves." I watched Jin Ling jump away and Sizhui caught the container. "You're my son Sizhui but that doesn't excuse your baseless desitions. Please excuse me, I have to go arrange for Jingyi to switch mentors. Hope you're happy. I know he's not."
