Wei Ying's destroyed heart (Complete) Edited

28: SiZhui confesses to Wei Ying

Under the tree with cute little bunnies hopping around them, Lan Zhan watched SiZhui on his knees holding Wei Ying as he wept.

'Master Wei .... This is not right.' SiZhui wept loudly as he gripped the man tightly as he had removed his arm from Lan Zhan to only hold Wei Ying.

'SiZhui ... I think you should tell Wei Ying why you are so upset by the sight of him like this?' Lan Zhan whispered lightly as he stroked the young mans hair ..... Even though every fibre of his being wanted to rip him off of his love and throw him away, he did as Wei Ying asked. He was being good to him ... but just how long did he have to put up with another male holding his Wei Ying?

'SiZhui. I am getting better. It will take time but I will get there now. However, I need to ask ... are you all abiding by the request I made.'

'Yes Master Wei, we are running the drills at both half speed and full speed morning, after lunch and before dinner.' Jin Ling said quietly so the pain he felt at seeing Wei WuXian in this condition was not heard quite so clearly.

'Jin Ling ... I'm sorry for being so hard on you since that first day ....'

'Stop that.' Jin Ling almost yelled.

'Why?'

'You are our teacher and I was late on the very first day. Just doing push ups is fine. I am now never late.'

'Okay.' He looked at the young man in his arms who still wept loudly. 'Hey, I think you are about to burst my ears like this. Please tell me why you are this upset?'

'It's because this is our fault ... you look like .... You have been dead ... and it hurts to think the man who saved my life along with all the others of my original Sect being in this state.'

'Wait ... What? What are you talking about .... Are you referring to Yi City?'

'No.' SiZhui slowly let him go and sat before him and took his hand even though Lan Zhan looked so angry that he didn't let him go and move away from his man. 'Master Wei ... from when I was a very young child, Master Lan WangJi has raised me and been my trainer ... I did not remember my childhood before him. I didn't remember anything before him ... until just before the temple ... I was going to tell you everything but .... I .... Hated ..... you for .... Trying to .... Kill ... Father WangJi ....'

'SiZhui. It was the talismans that made us all feel that.' Lan Zhan placed his trembling hand on his adopted son's shoulder. 'Back when you were so very ill with the fever, I adopted you and I raised you but before me ... there was another who was there for you.'

'I know, he came on a dark stormy night and saved us from death and took us to safety. However, that idiot planted me in the ground telling me it would help me grow big and strong and if he kept me there I may grow friends to play with.' He looked into Wei Ying's eyes and watched those sunken eyes grow even larger and begin to fill with tears. 'He had a meal with Lan WangJi and said he would pay but ended up running away leaving Lan WangJi to pay for it himself. Lan WangJi came to the Burial Grounds following him. This man gave up everything to save my small Sect .... And he was so determined to grow lotus flowers in the burial mounds ... and he managed it once. He hated turnips and Aunty Quin would yell at him for refusing to eat them. She yelled at him and threatened him with needles when he kept drinking liquor. Uncle Ning followed him everywhere. I would follow him all the time, even into the demon slaughter cave. Even when he told me to go away, I would just hug his leg and smile up at him.' he wiped the tears from his cheeks even as he watched the stream of tears running down Wei Ying's cheeks. 'Master Wei ... my name was ... you called me A-Yuan.'

'A-Yuan .... No he died in the burial mounds ... there is no way he lived ....' However he tried to tell himself this was not that little boy, his hand reached out and cupped his wet cheek. 'But he died.'
