THE GAME

Chapter 25

Jiang Wanyin slumped to the ground and pulled his elder brother from the Jade's grasp. The bite marks and bruises on Wei Ying's upper body made him scared to look below. 

"Wei Wuxian! Wei Ying!... Come on, open your eyes!" He tapped the omega's cheeks a couple of times but still, nothing. Xichen was stuck in his spot watching the horrifying show play out. His baby brother was kneeling ruefully and his mate panicked the more he looked at his unconscious senior brother.

"Xichen...Lan Xichen! Call the ambulance!", Zewujun was shaken back to reality. "Wh, What?", he stuttered. 

"An ambulance! He needs to go to the hospital!!", Jiang Cheng pitched. Lan Wangji tried to touch Wei Ying and got yelled at.

Xichen, " Wanyin...Let me call the family doctor."

"Doctor?! Call the driver if we can't get an ambulance!!", Jiang Cheng was losing it. "Why are you still here!", his eyes peered at Xichen.

"Wanyin, we cant take Wei Ying to the hospital...", Zewujun mastered courage not to break away from his gaze. 

"Why?... Huh!", Jiang Cheng gasped in amazement. How blind could he have been not to see this? "You're joking right?... Haha.", he laughed sarcastically at the man who ranked first in cultivation in their era. Without saying another word Jiang Cheng got up and pulled the bedsheet to cover his brother's nakedness, then doubled out for his phone. Lan Xichen went after him, trying to convince him not to call anyone.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!... YOU'RE BOTH WOLVES IN SHEEPSKIN!!", Wanyin threw his hands when Xichen tried to grab him.

"Wanyin, you can't let this get out...", Lan Xichen followed his every move.

" You want to shield that animal at the expense of my brother's life?!... I don't care if this breeds war between our clans. I won't sit quietly on this.", Jiang Cheng called for a driver as he walked back to the room. Lan Wangji was back at Wei Ying's side when he entered.

 "Have you not done enough already!!!", He pushed Wangji off and proceeded to carry Wei Ying on his back.

"Wanyin, let me take him.", Lan Xichen was caught in the crossfire and made the wrong call. His omega spared him no glance and carefully walked down the stairs. The moment the driver saw Jiang Cheng come out, he went to help. "Open the door and start the car!", Wanyin was not going to waste any more time. Once Wei Ying was positioned in the backseat, he sat by him, leaning Wei Ying's head on his shoulders. The driver stepped on the gas before Lan Xichen could stop them.

After he watched the car disappear in the distance, Xichen ran back upstairs to Wei Ying's room. Wangji was still there; starring at the floor. Evidence of their struggle was almost gone except for the small drops of blood and the smell of pheromones. 

"Was it a rut?", Xichen sat next to him.

 "Mn.", Wangji's voice sank.

Xichen wrapped a hand around his brother's broad shoulder and held him close. "It's okay...It's okay, Wangji.", he stroke his brother's hair and let him grief for as long as he needed to...

Wen Qing and the rest reached the hospital a few minutes after Wei Ying was admitted. YanLi hugged Wanyin and cupped his face as he asked of Wei Ying. "The doctor has not come out to say anything yet.", Jiang Cheng panted.

"A'Cheng, it's not your fault...Breathe.", The Pure Lotus rubbed the other's back, trying to soothe him. "No, if I had not gotten carried away I would have known he needed my help.", Jiang Cheng was glum. Huaisang and the Wens gathered around him when he broke into tears.
