Jiang YanLi was kneeling in the ancestral hall. She cleaned her parents’ memorial tablets as she whispered. Wei WuXian poked his head inside, “Shijie? Talking to Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu again?”

Jiang YanLi’s voice was soft, “Neither of you come, so of course I have to.”

Wei WuXian walked inside. He sat down beside her and cleaned the tablets with her.

"Maybe it was hard for them to accept they're gone." said Nie Huaisang.

"That's why they didn't come." he added.

"Losing both your parents aren't easy even though they're not kind to you." said MianMian.

"At least, we three are still together." said Jiang Yanli.

The juniors looked down when they heard that.

Jiang YanLi glanced at him, “A-Xian, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something you’d like to tell me?”

Wei WuXian grinned, “Nothing. I’m just here to roll around.”

As he spoke, he really did take a roll on the ground. Jiang YanLi asked, “XianXian, how old are you?”

Wei WuXian, “I’m three already.”

"Acting like a kid, again." said Jiang Cheng.

"Because I'm three. I am supposed to act like a kid." said Wei Wuxian while showing his three fingers.

"Yeah, yeah. A three years old kid isn't supposed to have a lover." said Jiang Cheng.

"I'm sixteen." said Wei Wuxian.

"So you're not three anymore?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"I am three." said Wei Wuxian.

"But a three years old can't have a lover." Jiang Cheng said again.

Seeing Wei Wuxian's problematic expression, Jiang Cheng laughed out loud.

"ChengCheng." Wei Wuxian cried dramatically.

"Shijie, ChengCheng is bullying me." he added.

"Oh a-xian, ChengCheng is such a bad didi." said Jiang Yanli.

Jiang Cheng look at her in disbelief.

"But, if a-xian is three then how could he have a lover?" asked Jiang Yanli.

"Then I'm sixteen and three at the same time." said Wei Wuxian.

"That's not possible. A person should only have one age. So you'll have choose between three and sixteen." said Jiang Cheng.

"That can't be." said Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng is trying to stifle his laugh.

"You're making fun of me." Wei Wuxian whined.

Jiang Yanli chuckled.

Seeing that he made Jiang YanLi laugh, he finally sat up. After he thought for a while, he still decided to bring the topic up, “Shijie, I want to ask you about something.”

Jiang YanLi, “Go ahead.”

Wei WuXian, “Why would someone like another person? I mean that kind of like.”

"Why are you suddenly asking that?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Is my brother in love?" asked Jiang Yanli with a tease.

Wei Wuxian blushed.

"Just curious, maybe." he mumbled.

Jiang YanLi paused for a moment, musing, “Why are you asking me about this? Do you like someone? What kind of a maiden is she?”

Wei WuXian, “No. I won’t like anyone. At least not too much. Wouldn’t it be the same as putting a rein on my neck?”

"And in our time he's so f*cking in love like he can't live a day without his husband." said Jin Ling.

"Liar." he added.

Wei Wuxian grinned at him.

"One day, my dear nephew of mine, you will fall in love too and you will act like that." said Wei Wuxian.

"You wouldn't expect but, maybe you will become a softy to your lover." he grinned.

"I-I won't." Jin Ling blushed.

Jingyi and Zizhen snickered at him.

Jiang YanLi, “Three seems a bit too old. How about one?”

Wei WuXian, “No, I’m three! The three-year-old XianXian is hungry! What should he do?”

Jiang YanLi chuckled, “There’s soup in the kitchen. You can have some. Would XianXian be able to reach the stove, though?”

“If I can’t, Shijie can just pick me up, and then I’ll be able to reach it…”

"Oh they're so cute." squealed a female cultivator.

"So childish." said Jiang Cheng.

"What's wrong with being childish? I'm cute." said Wei Wuxian.

"Who told you?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"My husband." said Wei Wuxian.

"Mn. Wei Ying is cute." said Lan Wangji.

As Wei WuXian spouted nonsense, Jiang Cheng just happened to step inside the ancestral hall.

Hearing this, he spat, “Fooling around again! Your sect leader, I, has already poured you a bowl and put it outside. Kneel for me to express your gratitude and go drink your soup outside.”

"I will never kneel in front of you." said Wei Wuxian.

"Whatever." said Jiang Cheng with an eye roll.

"They're going to fool around, I sure of that." said Jin Zixuan.

"We're already old enough to fool around." said Jiang Cheng.

Wei WuXian skipped outside before he turned around and came back, “What do you mean by this, Jiang Cheng? Where’s the meat?”

Jiang Cheng, “Finished it. There’s only lotus roots left. Don’t eat them if you don’t want to.”

Wei WuXian attacked with his elbow, “Spit out the meat!”

Jiang Cheng, “No objections. I’ll spit them out and let’s see if you’ll eat them!”

Seeing that they started to argue again, Jiang YanLi quickly interrupted, “Okay, okay. How old are you two, fighting over some meat? I’ll just make another jar…”

"See, you fooled around." said Jin Zixuan.

"That's pretty normal." said Jiang Yanli.

"Even if a-cheng is already a sect leader, he can still fool around with his brother." she added.

"Can't believe that you guys will fight over a meat." laughed MianMian.

"They fight at literally everything." said Jiang Yanli with a chuckle.

The lotus pork rib soup that Jiang YanLi made was Wei WuXian’s favorite.

Aside from how it really was delicious, it was also because he’d always recall what happened the first time he had it.

"Yeah, shijie's lotus pork rib soup is my favorite." said Wei Wuxian with a bright smile.

"Jiang Cheng, do you remember that time I first had it?" he asked.

"Oh please don't bring that up." said Jiang Cheng.

"Looks like the screen will show it." he grinned.

Jiang Cheng felt nervous all of a sudden.

At that time, it was not long after Wei WuXian had been brought back by Jiang FengMian from Yiling. As soon as he went in, he saw a proud young master running around the training grounds, leading a few leashed puppies. Immediately, his hands went up to his face and he wailed, soon bawling his eyes out. He was in Jiang FengMian’s arms the entire day, not coming down no matter what. On the second day, Jiang Cheng’s puppies were given to someone else.

"Oh please not this one." said Jiang Cheng as he took a glance from his father who is watching quietly.

"Is there something happened that I don't know?" Jiang Fengmian asked and Jiang Cheng gulped.

"Nothing happened." said Wei Wuxian.

"It just brought me and Jiang Cheng more closer." he said.

Jiang Cheng looked helplessly at his sister.

"You're gonna be fine." said Jiang Yanli as she patted his head.

This angered Jiang Cheng so much that he threw a big tantrum. No matter how much Jiang FengMian comforted him gently, telling him that they should ‘be good friends’, he refused to talk to Wei WuXian. Quite a few days later, Jiang Cheng’s attitude softened. Jiang FengMian wanted to strike while the iron was still hot, so he told Wei WuXian to sleep in the same room as him, hoping that they’d grow fonder of each other.

In the beginning, though still sulking, Jiang Cheng was on the verge of agreeing. But the bad thing was that when Jiang FengMian began to rejoice, he took Wei WuXian up and let him sit on his arm. Watching the scene unfold, Jiang Cheng was shocked speechless. Immediately, Madam Yu let out a bitter laugh and went out the room. It was only because the couple had important matters to attend to and left in a hurry that they didn’t start another argument.

That night, Jiang Cheng locked Wei WuXian outside his room, refusing to let him in.

"What?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"Why did you do that?" he added.

"It's better if you won't ask, a-xuan." said Jiang Yanli.

Wei WuXian knocked on the door, “Shidi, Shidi, let me in. I want to sleep.”

Inside of the room, Jiang Cheng shouted with his back on the door, “Who’s your shidi?! Give me back Princess, give me back Jasmine, give me back Love!”

"It feel like you're asking for a woman." laughed Nie Huaisang.

"It's to hear a-niang saying that." said Jingyi.

"But why did you suddenly act like that? I thought you already agreed on having him in your room?" asked Nie Huaisang but Jiang Cheng was looking nervous.

Princess, Jasmine, and Love were all puppies that he used to own. Wei WuXian knew that Jiang FengMian sent them away because of him. He whispered, “I’m sorry. But… But I really am scared of them…”

In Jiang Cheng’s memory, the total number of times Jiang FengMian picked him up wouldn’t even add up to five. Every single instance was enough for him to be happy for months. A fire brewed inside of him, unable to be released. All that he asked himself was ‘why, why, why’. Suddenly, he saw that a set of bedding that wasn’t his own was now inside his room. The anger and indignation immediately rushed to his forehead, making him pickup Wei WuXian’s sheets and blankets. Wei WuXian waited outside for a long time. When the door opened, before the joy could spread onto his face, he was bombarded with a pile of things being thrown out. The door banged shut again.

Jiang Cheng told him from inside, “Go sleep somewhere else! This is my room! You’re even gonna steal my room?!”

"A-cheng." Jiang Fengmian called.

Jiang Cheng looked down.

"Jiang-shushu." called Wei Wuxian, scared for the possibility that Jiang Fengmian might scold Jiang Cheng.

"I'm sorry." said Jiang Fengmian making Jiang Cheng look at him.

"For everything." he added making his son gaped at him.

A few moments passed by.

"Wanyin." Lan Xichen called.

"He can't be for real, right?" asked Jiang Cheng.

He looked at his father still in disbelief.

"You're not my father." he said.

"Are you possessed?" he asked.

"Why are you thinking like that?" asked Jiang Fengmian.

Jiang Cheng just gave him a look before shrugging his shoulders.

At that time, Wei WuXian didn’t know what Jiang Cheng was mad about at all. After a pause, he replied, “I didn’t steal anything. It’s Uncle Jiang who told me to sleep with you.”

Hearing that he was still bringing up his father, almost as if he was purposely showing off, Jiang Cheng’s eyes reddened as he yelled, “Go away! If I see you again, I’ll call a bunch of dogs to bite you!”

Standing outside, as Wei WuXian heard that dogs would come bite him, fear immediately bubbled within him. Twisting his fingers, he hurried, “I’ll go, I’ll go. Don’t call the dogs!”

Wei Wuxian laughed at that.

"Nothing's funny, Wei Wuxian." said Jiang Cheng.

"You looked cute there. Besides, I know that you will not really do that." said Wei Wuxian.

"And I'm not showing about Jiang-shushu." he added.

"Whatever. I don't care." said Jiang Cheng.

"A-die, you should've have treated them fair." said Jiang Yanli.

"I always wanted you to do that but, you never did." she added.

"Can't you see it? You're one of the reason why their relationship could be easily broken." she said.

"You should have told me about what happened back then." said Jiang Fengmian.

"And what? For you to scold a-cheng?" she asked.

"I better not." she said.

Dragging behind him the sheets and blanket that were thrown outside, he ran out the hall. Having only arrived at Lotus Pier for a short period of time, he didn’t dare jump around yet. Every day, he obediently holed up in the places that Jiang FengMian told him to stay at. He didn’t even know where his room was, much less have the courage to knock on other people’s doors, scared that it’d disturb someone’s dreams.

Having thought for a while, he walked to a corner of the hallway where there was no wind, laid down his sheets, and lay down right there. But the longer he spent there, the louder Jiang Cheng’s ‘I’ll call a bunch of dogs to bite you’ echoed in his head. Wei WuXian grew more afraid the more he thought about it. He tossed and turned under the blanket, feeling that a bunch of dogs surrounded him whenever he heard a single sound. After a while of torment, he felt that he couldn’t stay there any longer. Leaping up, he rolled up the sheets, folded the blanket, and fled Lotus Pier.

"I'm sorry." said Jiang Cheng.

"I never really thought about your fear of dogs is that huge that time." he added.

"I shouldn't have said that." he continued.

"It's okay. I didn't even knew about your relationship with Jiang-shushu. I hurt your feelings for a lot of times." said Wei Wuxian.

"It's okay. Besides, whatever relationship I have with my father will never change even if you didn't came into our life. He would still treat me the same, ignore me for a lot of times." said Jiang Cheng.

"What I said back then really affects your trauma. You shouldn't have forgiven me that easily." he added.

"Oh come on, Jiang Cheng. I was told that you're going to be my brother. Why would I not forgive my brother?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"I remember what my parents told before they left, that whatever happens, I should always be kind, and forgive those who I care. I should treasure everything that is important to me, and that's you and shijie." he said.

"Your my brother, I will always forgive you." he added as he hugged the man.

"You really love it when I hug you." he laughed.

"I don't." Jiang Cheng grumbled as he shove the man off.

"Go back to your jealous lover." he added with a huff.

Huffing and puffing, he ran for quite some time alongside the night wind. When he saw a tree, he climbed up without second thought. He climbed with all four limbs clinging to the trunk, and only calmed down a bit after he felt that he was high enough up there. He didn’t know how long he’d been hugging the tree when, suddenly, a soft voice called his name from afar. The voice got closer and closer. Not long later, a white-clothed girl appeared under the tree with a lantern.

Wei WuXian recognized that this was Jiang Cheng’s sister. He stayed quiet, hoping that she wouldn’t find him. Yet, Jiang YanLi still called, “Is it A-Ying? What are you doing up there?”

Wei WuXian continued to stay quiet. Jiang YanLi raised the lantern, “I saw you. You left your shoe under the tree.”

Wei WuXian glanced down at his left foot before finally exclaiming, “My shoe!”

Jiang YanLi, “You can come down. Let’s go back.”

"Sister is always on the rescue." said a female cultivator.

"Maybe, this is the reason why Wei Wuxian really treasure his sister because she was always there for him." said a random cultivator.

"Not was, I will always be there for my brothers." said Jiang Yanli.

Wei WuXian, “I… I’m not going down. There are dogs.”

Jiang YanLi, “A-Cheng was making things up. There are no dogs. You don’t have anything to sit on. Your arms will grow sore really soon, and you’ll fall down.”

"Of course he's making up. There's no dogs in Lotus Pier." said Wei Wuxian.

Jiang Cheng scoffed.

Wei Wuxian grinned at him.

"I remember that something happened to you that time. Are you not afraid of what people will react seeing it." he said.

"Shut the f*ck up." Jisng Cheng cursed.

"Why? What happened?" asked Jingyi.

"Lets see, lets see." said Wei Wuxian.

No matter what she said, Wei WuXian continued clinging to the tree, refusing to come down. Afraid that he’d hurt himself, Jiang YanLi put the lantern under the tree and extended her arms to catch him, too worried to leave. Thirty minutes later, Wei WuXian’s hands finally grew sore. He let go of the tree trunk and fell down. Jiang YanLi hurried to catch him, but Wei WuXian still landed with a slam. Rolling on the ground a few times, he hugged his leg and wailed, “My leg is broken!”

Jiang YanLi comforted him, “It’s not broken. It shouldn’t be fractured either. Does it hurt a lot? It’s fine. Don’t move. I’ll carry you back.”

"Wei Ying." called Lan Wangji.

"Don't worry Lan Zhan, I am fine. Shijie managed to save me." said Wei Wuxian.

"You made her worried." said Jin Zixuan.

"As an elder sister, I will always worry about them even if they're the one who brought tjat to themselves." said Jiang Yanli.

"Besides, a-xian is still too young. He don't know what to do that time." she added.

Wei WuXian was still thinking about the dogs, sobbing, “Are… Are the dogs there…”

Jiang YanLi promised again and again, “No. If dogs come, I’ll chase them away for you.” She picked up the shoe Wei WuXian left under the tree, “Why did your shoe fall off? Does it not fit?”

Wei WuXian forced back the tears of pain, “No. They fit.”

In truth, they didn’t fit. They were quite a few sizes too large. But this was the first pair of shoes that Jiang FengMian bought him. Wei WuXian was too embarrassed to make him go out of his way to buy another pair, and so he said that they weren’t too big. Jiang YanLi helped him into his shoe and pressed the hollow tip, “It is a bit big. I’ll fix it for you when we get back.”

Madam Yu glanced at Jiang Fengmian.

"Of course you don't know how to buy perfect things for children." she said.

"But, didn't you got a new pair shoes?" she asked Wei Wuxian but the man just grinned.

"My brother loves me so much that he went out of his way to buy me a new pair of shoes to not give trouble to shijie and me." said Wei Wuxian.

"I didn't." said Jiang Cheng.

"Really? Why is it purple then?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"You're the only who loves purple so much." he said.

Hearing this, Wei WuXian felt somewhat uneasy, as if he did something wrong again.

Living in other people’s homes, the worst that could happen was to make trouble for the hosts.

"It is no trouble, a-xian." said Jiang Yanli.

Wei Wuxian just smiled at her.

"You're really is the best, shijie." he said.

Jiang YanLi put him onto her back and began to walk back, wobbling in her steps as she spoke, “A-Ying, no matter what A-Cheng said to you, don’t bother about him. He doesn’t have a good temper, so he’s always home playing with himself. Those puppies were his favorites. Dad sent them away, and so he’s feeling upset. He’s actually really happy that somebody’s here to be with him. You ran out here and didn’t go back for a long time. I only came to find you only because he’s worried that something happened to you and went to wake me up.”

In reality, Jiang YanLi was only two or three years older than him. She was only twelve or thirteen back then. Although she herself was only a child as well, she naturally spoke as if she were an adult, trying to make him feel better. Her frame was quite small, quite slender, and she didn’t have much strength either. She staggered now and then, having to stop to push up Wei WuXian’s thighs so that he didn’t slide down. Yet, when Wei WuXian was on her back, he felt incomparably secure, almost more secure than when he was sitting on Jiang FengMian’s arm.

"So true." said Wei Wuxian.

"Jiang Cheng always said that shijie's hugs are the best." he added and Jiang Cheng nodded.

"And lets not deny that Jiang Cheng's hugs are also comforting but he only hugs a few people. Me, shijie, those little kids who loves to spend time on lotus pier, and now, brother-in-law includes on the list." he said.

"Me too." said Jingyi.

"What about me?" asked Jin Ling.

"A baby Jin Ling, yes. But you, no you dont." said Jingyi.

Jin Ling glared at him.

Suddenly, the night wind carried forth a series of sobs. Jiang YanLi quivered in fear, “What was that sound? Did you hear it?”

Wei WuXian pointed, “I heard it. It came from inside that pit!”

The two went to the pit and careful looked inside. A small silhouette lay face-down at the bottom. As he lifted his head, they could see two streaks on his muddied face, washed off by his tears. He choked, “... Sister!”

"Wanyin." said Lan Xichen as he hugged the man.

"That must've been hurt." he added.

"It's nothing." said Jiang Cheng.

"It's embarrassing how you guys so my muddy face." he added and his friends laugh.

"I didn't expect that I will saw Jiang-xiong in a state like that." Nie Huaisang laughed.

"Now, I knew a lot of your embarrassing moments." said Jin Zixuan.

Jiang Cheng glared at them.

Jiang YanLi sighed in relief, “A-Cheng, didn’t I tell you to get others and search for him together?”

Jiang Cheng only shook his head. After Jiang YanLi left, he waited for a while. He felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and so he decided to go chase after them. Yet, as he ran too fast and forgot to bring a lantern, he tripped on something halfway down the road and fell into a pit. He scratched his head as well.

Jiang YanLi stretched her arm out and pulled her younger brother out of the pit. She took out a handkerchief and put it against his bleeding forehead.

"Because of his worries, he ended up hurting himself." said Wei Wuxian with a chuckle.

"Shut up." said Jiang Cheng.

"You two really are reckless that night. Acting on impulse." said Jiang Yanli.

"I have reasons." said the two and Jiang Yanli just chuckled at them.

Jiang Cheng seemed to be in low spirits. His black pupils snuck a glance at Wei WuXian. Jiang YanLi, “Is there something you didn’t tell A-Ying?”

Jiang Cheng pressed the handkerchief onto his forehead, his voice low, “… I’m sorry.”

Jiang YanLi, “Help A-Ying bring back the sheets and blanket later, okay?”

Jiang Cheng sniffed, “I brought them back already…”

"He looks so cute." said Wei Wuxian.

"I never so him acting like that again." he added.

"Because I will never act like that again." said Jiang Cheng.

Both of the two had injured their legs and couldn’t walk. It was still some distance away from Lotus Pier, so Jiang YanLi could only carry one on her back and the other in her arms. Both Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng wrapped their arms around her neck. She had to stop and take a breath after just a few steps, “Just what am I supposed to do with you two?”

Their eyes were still brimming with tears. Pitifully, they hugged her neck even tighter.

"A-li have to carry the both of you." Jin Zixuan said in disbelief.

"What's the problem with that?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Besides, it's truly comforting that time. A-jie is our angel." said Jiang Cheng.

"You're just jealous." the two added.

"I am not!" Jin Zixuan exclaimed making Jiang Yanli chuckled at them.

At last, one step at a time, she finally managed to carry her two brothers back to Lotus Pier. In a hushed voice, she woke up the doctor and asked him to bandage Wei WuXian’s and Jiang Cheng’s wounds. Afterward, she repeated ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’ countless times before walking the doctor back. Looking at Wei WuXian’s legs, Jiang Cheng’s face was full of nervousness. If any other disciple or servant learned about this and told Jiang FengMian, after Jiang FengMian knew how he threw Wei WuXian’s sheets out and made him hurt his leg, Jiang FengMian would definitely dislike him even more. This was also why he only dared chase after them alone and didn’t get anyone else.

Seeing how worried he seemed, Wei WuXian took the initiative, “Relax. I won’t tell Uncle Jiang. I only hurt myself because I suddenly wanted to climb a tree last night.”

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng sighed in relief. He swore, “You can relax as well. Anytime I see a dog, I’ll chase it away for you!”

Seeing how the two finally made up with each other, Jiang YanLi cheered, “That’s the spirit.”

"They look so cute." said Nie Huaisang.

"But, if your father really finds out, he will dislike you?" he asked.

"Probably." said Jiang Cheng.

"But yeah, he didn't know." he added.

"That's how easily they made up." said Jiang Yanli.

"How I wish they didn't grew up so fast. I love how they act so innocent and real to their feelings." she added.

"Now, I can feel that they hide a lot from me." she continued.

The two looked down.

Having stayed up for almost half of the night, the two had grown hungry as well. And so, Jiang YanLi went to the kitchen and busied herself for a while, standing on tiptoe. She warmed up a bowl of lotus pork rib soup for each of them.

The aroma wrapped itself around his heart, lingering.

"And that's how I ended up loving shijie's soup." said Wei Wuxian.

"I bet Jim Zixuan never had a taste of it." he added with a smirk.

Jin Zixuan just scoffed at him.

"I can smell the jealousy." Nie Huaisang grinned.

"Whatever." said Jin Zixuan.

Squatting in the yard, Wei WuXian put the empty bowl onto the ground. He gazed at the stars sprinkled across the sky, and then smiled.

When he ran into Lan WangJi in the streets, he recalled many things from when he was studying at the Cloud Recesses.

On a whim, he stopped Lan WangJi, wanting to direct their conversation toward those days as well. But, Lan WangJi reminded him that everything was different from how they were back then.

Yet, when he returned to Lotus Pier, to the Jiang siblings, he’d be under the illusion that nothing had changed at all.

"I prefer to believe on the illusions than thinking that life has changed so much that it's hard to keep up." said Wei Wuxian.

"I will never accept the death of them." he added as he look at everyone in the Jiang Sect.

"Sorry, Wei Ying. I have hurt you." said Lan Wangji.

"It's okay, Lan Zhan. Reality just hurt so much." said Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji hugged him tightly.

"It's better to face the reality than being inside an illusion that will might hurt you." he whispered.

Wei WuXian suddenly wanted to find the tree that he once hugged.

He stood up and walked out of the training grounds. The disciples along the way nodded at him in respect. All of them looked unfamiliar. The shidi who liked monkeys and refused to walk properly, the servants who made faces and didn’t salute properly—they had long since gone.

"It might still hard for them to keep up with what they loss." said MianMian.

"I wonder how Jiang Cheng managed to go through that everyday." said Wei Wuxian.

"Everywhere he looks, a memory will flash in his eyes. It might have been really a challenge for him." he added.

"Maybe, just don't let the past eat you and continue on your life knowing that you can never change anything." said Jiang Cheng.

"It won't happen here. It won't happen in this timeline. We won't anyone." said Wei Wuxian.

Jiang Cheng smiled at him.

Across the training grounds and outside Lotus Pier’s gates, there was a wide pier. No matter day or at night, at the pier, there’d always be vendors selling food. From a pot of sizzling oil came a wonderful aroma.

Wei WuXian couldn’t help but went over, grinning, “Big servings today, huh?”

The vendor grinned as well, “Young Master Wei, you want one? I’ll give it to you for free. Not charging anything.”

Wei WuXian, “I’ll have one. Charge it still.”

"The people in Yunmeng are very friendly." said Nie Huaisang.

"You're right." said Wei Wuxian.

"You'll go there next time and me and Jiang Cheng will introduce to a lot of fun things." he added.

"Don't include spicy foods." said Nie Huaisang.

"That's impossible." said Jiang Cheng.

Beside the vendor sat someone whose entire body seemed grimey. Before Wei WuXian walked closer, the person hugged their knees as they shivered, as though they were both cold and tired. After they heard Wei WuXian speak, their head shot up.

Wei WuXian widened his eyes, “You?!”

"Who's that?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"We don't know either." said Wei Wuxian.

"This is where everything started. All the broken relationship started." said Sizhui.

"I don't have a good feeling about this." said Jiang Cheng.

"Because it won't be good." said Jingyi.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng looked at one another.
