Messed up love

Chapter 35- Uncle

     As the two men were walking back they saw Yanli running towards them. "A-Xian, Xue Yang," she said, "what's the matter?"
   Wei Ying shook his head, "Nothing. But Yanli, why are you here?"
    "Zewu Jun arrived," she said, "Red Blade Master called everyone to a meeting. A-Cheng was looking for you two everywhere." She stopped and looked to where they came from, "A-Xian, Xue Yang, what happened just then?"
    "Nothing," Xue Yang said smiling, "it was just the wind. It was strong and broke several branches."
    "Since it's nothing, let's go back now," she said suspicious. She walked away and Xue Yang helped Wei Ying to walk behind her.
    They walked to where the meeting was being held and heard someone speaking, "-how to cope with the Yin Iron in Wen Ruohan's hands."
   Xue Yang pushed open the door and a gust of wind flew in the room. Everyone but Wangji covered their faces to protect themselves from it. Wei Ying walked in and bowed, "Clan Leader Nie," he said, "Wen Ruohan's Yin Iron might be outside of our concern."
   "What do you mean?" Zixuan asked.
    "Maybe there are some countermeasures against the Yin Iron," Wei Ying said.
     "Young Master Wei, please elaborate," Xichen said.
     "Zewu Jun," Wei Ying said, "I don't mean to conceal it." He looked down and everyone looked at what he was looking at, it was his flute. He looked back up, "We'll see in about a month," he bowed and turned around.
    "Young Master Wei," Xichen said, "why did you stop carrying your sword?"
    Wei Ying turned to him, "I'm just not in the mood," he said and walked away with Xue Yang and Jiang Cheng.
    "What did you mean by in a month?" Jiang Cheng asked, "How are you sure?"
    "I just know," Wei Ying said.
    "So you guessed?" Jiang Cheng said.
     "I never said I guessed, I just said that I know," Wei Ying said.
     "Sure you do, like a fortune teller," Jiang Cheng snapped. Wei Ying chuckled and the continued walking, they bumped into Wangji and Xichen who were talking.
    Wei Ying froze and Xue Yang stepped closer to him. Jiang Cheng looked at the two strangely, while Xichen looked at Wangji.
    Wei Ying forced a smile and walked forward with his brother and friend. They all bowed to the brothers and Wei Ying looked at Wangji who glanced back. He walked away with Jiang Cheng and Xue Yang running after him.
    "Be frank with me," Jiang Cheng said after they got out of earshot.
    "What do you mean?" Wei Ying asked.
    "You and Lan Wangji," Jiang Cheng said, "decided to cut your association just like that?"
    "It was he who cut the association," Wei Ying said, "I didn't."
    "He didn't want to respond to you anyway," Jiang Cheng said.
    Wei Ying stopped and turned to his brother, "Jiang Cheng, I remember you did not like him. Why are you speaking for him now?"
    "Nonsense!" Jiang Cheng exclaimed, "We are on the same side now, the four major clans are sticking together. There is no need to fuss about such trivial things. Besides, Xue Yang and Uncle have been getting along fine."
"Shouldn't you be calling me Uncle too?" Xue Yang asked.
"Why should we?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Because, I'm going to marry him," Xue Yang said.
"What?!" The brothers yelled. Xue Yang smiled widely and laughed.
"You're going to marry Uncle?!" Wei Ying exclaimed, "No, not happening."
"Oh come on!" Xue Yang whined, "I want to marry him, please."
"I am not calling you Uncle, you're my brother," Wei Ying said.
"Too bad," Xue Yang smirked, "I'm marrying him anyway."
Wei Ying sighed, "Fine, I guess I can call you Uncle."
"I'm not," Jiang Cheng said.
"It's improper to not respect your family," Xue Yang said, "I'm going to he family and you have to accept it."
"Fine! I'll call you Uncle in public events," Jiang Cheng said.
"Who are you calling Uncle?" A voice came from behind them. They all turned around and saw Xingchen walking to them with a gentle smile.
"Uncle," Jiang Cheng said, "tell Xue Yang that it's ridiculous to call him Uncle."
"Why is it?" Xingchen asked.
"Because he's my sworn brother," Wei Ying said, "I can't call him Uncle!"
"Starboy," Xue Yang said, "if you and I get married, shouldn't they call me that?"
Xingchen's face flushed, "Uh-ye-no! Who said we're getting married?"
"I did," Xue Yang said stepping forward, "why? Don't you want to?"
"I do!" Xingchen looked at the man, "B-but not until you have everything sorted out."
     "What do you mean?" Xue Yang asked.
     "You need to get everyone to get off your back," Xingchen said, "it must be exhausting for you."
     "I can manage," Xue Yang said cheekily, "I'm used to it anyways."
     "It doesn't matter whether you're used to it or not," Xingchen said, he stepped closer to Xue Yang and gave him a light kiss, "but don't worry, I will marry you."
    Xue Yang beamed, "Thank you starboy!"
   "No worries," Xingchen said as he shook his head and smiled, "I've been wanting to marry for a while."
   "Great! Wei Wuxian, you better help me with the decorations," Xue Yang said.
    "Ask Zewu Jun!" Wei Ying exclaimed, "I know nothing about weddings."
     "But didn't you say that you would make me the best wedding?" Xue Yang asked.
"I did?" Wei Ying asked.
"Yeah!" Xue Yang punched the man's shoulder softly, "A while ago!"
Wei Ying thought for a moment before snapping his fingers, "Ah! You're right, I remember. But you said that you wanted to fu-" Xue Yang covered Wei Ying's mouth quickly.
"I wanted to have fun with my friends!" Xue Yang correct hurriedly, "That's all."
   He took his hand down and Wei Ying chuckled, "Sure, whatever you say."
   "I'm going to go look for Yanli," Wei Ying said.
"Alright," Xue Yang said, "starboy I'll see you later."
"You can stay," Wei Ying said.
"I think it's better if I go with you," Xue Yang said. He pecked Xingchen's cheek and smiled, "I'll come back later, alright starboy?"
"Alright," Xingchen smiled and watched the man walk away with his nephew.
