22 Nightmare (1/2)

”Hey~” Wei Wuxian called and turned to the silent Jiang Cheng who's reading a book on his one hand, while holding a brush and scribbling on the paper with the other. ”I had a very bad birthday, thanks to you and ZeWu-Jun, yet I haven't heard even a word of apology coming from you two.” He said, frowning.

(A/N: you forgot WWX is doing a flashback on the prev chaps? I almost. XDXDXD)

Jiang Cheng replied without taking his gaze from the book. ”I don't owe you an apology.” He said. ”Ask that guy instead.” He told him and continued to write.

Obviously, he's referring to Lan Xichen

Wei Wuxian's frown turned to grimace. ”You not only have pity, but also have no eyes.” he said, frowning. ”ZeWu-Jun collapsed. Until now he's recuperating.” He told him.

”How unfortunate.” Jiang Cheng just said.

Wei Wuxian sighed and continued drinking. Looks like his birthday has gone to waste – both the celebratory feeling and the plan for the two (LXC and JC).

Gusu.

”Did he come?” Lan Xichen asked, his voice weak, as he looked at Lan Qiren and the others.

Lan Qiren's face soured. Lan Wangji's face is the same as ever while the other elders of the sect silently left, leaving the family.

”Didn't.” Lan Wangji answered.

Lan Qiren looked at him, then sighed. What should he say? (A/N: but his remaining nephew turned gay. XDXDXD jk XDXDXDXD this is true, though – pft XD)

He sighed. ”Rest more.” He just said and silently left.

Lan Xichen nodded at him as he closed his eyes. Lan Wangji silently followed him.

”Do you blame brother?” Lan Wangji silently asked, no footsteps could be heard echoing in the Cloud Recesses.

It is a rule to be light-footed not to disrupt the silence in the mountains.

”... each one has his own ghost/s.” he answered.
