Black and White (❌UNDER HEAVY REVISION❌)

3.The Beginning✅

Hey guys!

This is my first fanfic and English is NOT my first language and if you find any mistakes tell me!

"Hi" - Is a vocal speech.

'Hi' - Are thoughts ( Pls note that they are single quotations.)

"Hi" - Are dreams or flashback speeches ( Pls note that they are Double quotations.)

There are some others as well but these are the more complicated ones. And enjoy!

They were looking at a scene of a small cottage at the foot of a mountain. It looked peaceful. ' This must be his childhood.' The cultivators realized. They heard laughing, inside.

______________

"Mama! Papa! Catch me!" A sweet young voice called out giggling. A four year old ran out arms outstretched hands grasping stolen goods while a young couple chased behind, all of them laughing, so happily.

"A'Ying! A'Ying! Slow down! Come on!" The woman giggled stopping. The man caught up with the boy.

"Hahaha! Caught you! Look Cangse! I caught the little thief!" The man hoisted him up showing him to the woman, Cangse who caught up with him.

"Where is my little thief? Hm? Hm?" She started tickling him, reducing them to a laughing mess, on the ground. Then the man in turn started tickling her. Loud laughter came in gasps from her.

"Changze! Changze! Stop it!" she came close to screaming. Then the man, Changze faltered proving it to be his downfall. Cangse and little Wei Ying started to tickle him without mercy until he had to beg it. Then after they stood up they dusted themselves.

"We should be going." Changze said before going inside alone.

The cultivators were so invested in cooing at the sight in front of them that they actually forgot that it was the (so called) notorious Yilling Patriarch in front of them.

Lan Xichen snickered, when he saw his baby brother's ears turn pale pink. Wei Ying was actually so cute that even Jiang Cheng and Madam Yu was wordless. But everyone understood that this must have been a very important memory that would affect who Wei Ying will turn out to be in the future.

"Mama, please don't go?" Little Wei Ying asked looking up at Cangse Sanren. She crouched down, she tucked a lock of hair behind his ear.

"I'm sorry baby, but Mama and Papa have to go night hunting." The change in him was almost dramatic. He went from smiley and dry eyed to a full blown out tantrum in less than a second. To say that Cangse Sanren was bewildered would be a an understatement. She sighed heavily and cupped his face and turned it up to hers.

"A'Ying, I'm really sorry. But I will bring some candy so don't cry, okay?" she soothed wiping away his tears now that his sobs were merely hiccups. She then said tried to tug the stolen items which turned out to be a red ribbon and comb from him but he resisted. She gave up.

"A'Ying, can you promise me something?" He nodded vigorously. She chuckled.

"Then promise, Mama that you'll always stay strong and will never cry in front of anyone who isn't family?" He bended his little fingers to a swearing sign and smiled wide, showing his baby teeth.

"A'Ying promises!". She picked him up and gave him to Changze. They went inside and layed him in the little cot inside. Then the couple kissed and cuddled with him until he slept after which they left.
