Messed up love

Chapter 5- Family Drama

  "Should we go and see what Wei Wuxian is up to?" Xue Yang asked. He was laying on Xingchen's lap with closed eyes, they quickly became friends after doing each other's hair and talking about their past.
   "I mean I don't want to get found out," Xingchen said.
   "Who cares? It'll be fine, let's go," Xue Yang stood up and grabbed Xingchen's arm, he pulled the man with him inside and searched for We Ying. He was almost to the opposite side of the house when Xingchen stopped him.
   "Wait, I found them," he said. He brought Xue Yang with him and hid behind a wall, they peaked to the other side and saw Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng, Sect Leader Jiang, Madam Yu, and Yanli sitting at a table.
    "Clan Leader Jiang, you are such a kind person," Madam Yu said.
    "My lady, I believe you are tired and it it time for you to rest," Sect Leader Jiang said calmly.
     "Mother-"
     "Don't call me!" The woman snapped, "You want to tell me to shut up like your father?! You idiot, I tell you, in your entire life you are nothing compared to Wei Wuxian. No matter your cultivation or night hunt. Yet you're the first on to seek out your own doom." She sighed, "But it's not your fault, your mother is no match for his mother. It is what it is, but I just can't taje it when it comes to you. How many times have I told you? Do not mess with him! How can you say a good thing for him? How can I have a son like you?" She stood up with a huff and stormed away.
   "She's harsh," Xue Yang whispered.
   "Yes," Xingchen agreed, they flinched when the woman came close to them. She walked past them and they sighed in relief.
   "Is she gone?" Xue Yang asked.
   "I think so," Xingchen said turning back to his nephew, "she's a terrible person to be honest."
    "She sure is," Xue Yang said, "look out!" He pulled Xingchen back as they both dodged a small fruit. They looked at each other and Xingchen drew his sword instinctively.
    "What was that?" He asked, he looked around the corner slowly and saw Wei Ying looking straight at him. He moved back quickly, "Wei Wuxian saw us."
    "What are you waiting for?" Xue Yang asked, "Let's go!"
    "Wait, I think he wants us to go with him," Xingchen said looking again.
    "What does he want us to do?" Xue Yang asked.
    "I don't know, but we should go," Xingchen said. He put his sword up and walked over to his nephew, Xue Yang following close behind.
   "Who are you?" Sect Leader Jiang asked when they came into view.
    Xingchen bowed, "Xiao Xingchen, disciple of Baoshan Sanren, I came to visit Wei Wuxian and tell him something important."
    "And I am Xue Yang, I came to escort Xiao Xingchen," Xue Yang said bowing.
    Wei Ying stood up, "Sect Leader Jiang, Xiao Xingchen is my uncle."
    Sect Leader Jiang nodded, "Alright, you may go with him. But don't be long for too long, you and Jiang Cheng must get ready to go."
    Wei Ying nodded and walked with Xingchen and Xue Yang, "Thanks for getting me out of their," he said when they were out if earshot.
    "No problem," Xingchen said, "but where are you going?"
     "The Wen camp," Wei Ying said, "I have to go with Jiang Cheng and stay there for 7 days."
     "That's a bit too long don't you think?" Xue Yang asked.
     "It is, but I'm not letting Jiang Cheng go alone," he said, "you can come with me if you want."
    "I will," Xingchen immediately said, "I'm not getting a good feeling about what will happen so I think I should go with you."
    "If you're both going then I am too," Xue Yang said.
     "Alright," Wei Ying said, "you two best get ready then."
     "We will," Xue Yang said, he took Xingchen's arm and dragged him away. He wanted to think more about what would happen, and he needed someone to think with him.
    They went and sat down next to a wall outside, "What so you think is going to happen?" Xue Yang asked.
    "I don't know, but it's nothing good," Xingchen said. He felt something on his shoulder and turned around, Xue Yang was laying his head down on his shoulder with closed eyes, "Are you tired?"
    "Yeah," Xue Yang said.
    "Then sleep, I can stay up for a while longer," Xingchen offered, "you had a long day I'm sure."
    "Mhmm," Xue Yang, "I feel like we're all going to get separated when we go to the camp."
    "I'm not letting that happen," Xingchen said, "I'm also wearing the mask so that he doesn't know who I am."
    "Good idea," Xue Yang said, "you should give yourself a fake name also."
    "What clan should I belong to?" Xingchen asked.
    "Jiang, we have to stick together," Xue Yang said.
    "I guess, then what about Jiang Xing," Xingchen said, "it sounds like my name so it won't be easy to forget."
    "Good idea," Xue Yang said, "everyone knows who I am so what's the use of hiding my identity."
    "True," Xingchen said chuckling.
    They sat in silence before Xue Yang spoke again, "Hey starboy, do you want to get married?"
    "What do you mean?" Xingchen asked.
    "Do you want to get married? Like in general," Xue Yang repeated.
    "Maybe in the future," Xingchen said.
    "What about kids?" Xue Yang asked.
     "Also in the future, I think I'm too young for that now," Xingchen laughed, "I can only imagine a child running around with something on their face and clothes. Like food!"
    Xue Yang chuckled, "I mean kids are always crazy don't you think?"
    "Yeah," Xingchen said, his laughter dying down, "they truly are."
     "I think your kids would be well behaved," Xue Yang said.
     "No, I was very mischievous as a child," Xingchen said, fondly remembering his past self.
     "Really?"
    "Yeah, but as I grew older I became more mature," Xingchen said, "I guess you could say I saw the light and dark of the world at a young age."
    "Me too starboy, me too."
