The Yummeng Twim pride sat in silence.

There wasn't much to talk about other than they had to fix their family problem.

"I don't get it..." Jiang Chengs says picking up a rock and throwing it in the water. 

"Don't get what?" 

"I don't get why you stood there silently the whole time Mother bad talked about you." Jiang Cheng says.

Wei Wuxian smiles. 

"I don't know... I was shocked yes but I kinda missed it ha!" He laughs. "I guess I have gotten used to it."

Jiang Cheng grits his teeth. Wei Wuxian became so used to being hurt by words that he no longer saw them as negative things.

"Wei Wuxian, don't get used to it. Your value is equal to everyone. "Regardless of wealth, no one is worth less than another.". Remember that you are just as respected as any other cultivator. Know your worth and stop putting others before yourself."

Wei Ying looked at Jiang Cheng. Eyes widened and mouth slightly open. He knew Jiang Cheng was not one to express his care through words; instead, he usually showed it through his actions.

"Aww Chengcheng are you worried~" Wei Wuxian giggled poking Jiang Cheng's cheek. 

Jiang Cheng stood up abruptly, swatting Wei Wuxian's hand away. "Ha, in your dreams you idiot..." "He blushed and looked away with a small smile. 

Wei Wuxian laughs wholeheartedly and falls back on the grass. He gazes up and meets his eyes with the amber streaks in the vibrant orange sky as the sun dips below the horizon. Jiang Cheng lies down beside him. A comfortable silence engulfed them. 

However, that silence is broken by footsteps approaching them. 

"Um W-Wei-gongzi. young master Jiang..."

Both of them look back to see Wen Ning looking down playing with his figures. His timid gaze fixated on the grass.

"Wen Ning?" 

...

"Oh my god! Wen Ning!" Wei Wuxian yells getting up and running to him. "I forgot you came with us. Where were you this whole time." he grabs him by both shoulders and shakes him. 

"We-Wei G-Gong-zi... Di..zz..y" Wen ning managed to say with all the shaking. 

"Oh..." 

"Idiot..." Jiang Cheng sighs and goes to them.  

"I was with Young Maiden Jiang. After I saw you go with Sect Leader Jiang, I was left alone with the Jiang disciples. And I didn't say anything because you were running away the next time I saw you." Wen Ning says. 

Wei Wuxian's POV

How do we forget about a whole person? I mean if it were a scroll or something else that would have been reasonable but a whole person? Not to mention he stands out like a chicken in between ducks.

We walk back to my room without getting caught. Why? Since Wen Ning is from the Wen clan, nobody wants him in the sect. The only reason he wasn't caught and standing in front of Jiang Shushu and Madam Yu is that Jiang Cheng told everyone not to tell his parents about him.

Upon entering, the first thing I do is go through my wardrobe to find Wen Ning a Jiang outfit. However, that proved to be difficult due to his petite figure. Puberty hit him hard when he grew up. Even after reviving him, he had a muscular body with an attractive figure despite being half dead.

"Here you go. This the only one that seems like it will fit you." I say handing him a purple robe. "Also if anyone asks for your name just say, Ning." 

He nods and goes behind the dividers. 

"Jiang cheng..." 

"Hm"

"Will Wen Ning go to the archery tournament?"

Jiang Cheng thinks for a moment. "I don't know to be honest..." Wen Ning comes out adjusting his robe. "If he wants to then he can. If he doesn't then he can stay here with JieJie. It really up to him." 

Wen Ning looks at us before smiling softly. "Sect Leader Jiang, Wei Gongzi I think I will think about whether to go or not. And let you know near the time. Although I don't know because from what I saw... my presence isn't much needed."

I frown hearing him. "Hey don't say that. You're the reason I survived for so long before."

"No Wei Gongzi. You were the reason I survived for so long. Even after I became a corpse you didn't give up on me and woke the consciousness in me. I don't know whether the me before said this to you but thank you for keeping my family safe as long as you could. I'm sure we are all very grateful for this."

Wen Ning goes on his knees and kowtows but I quickly pull him up and embrace him in a tight hug. Tears pool in my eyes. 

I can't bear the thought of him turning into a lifeless corpse. I refuse to let him be used as a tool of destruction. I can't let him endure the same suffering again. I want him to live. I want to see him vibrant and full of life. I need this Wen Ning to remain with us. 

"A-Ning I promise you... I promise you that I won't let those Jin bastards murder you this time. From this point on, I'll make sure you are always by my side. This world doesn't deserve you."

Jiang Cheng POV

I watch as Wei Wuxian tightens his hug. His tears finally slip as he closes his eyes promising Wen Ning a better life.

"...This world doesn't deserve you."

This cruel and unforgiving world doesn't deserve someone as kind and compassionate as you either, my dear A-Ying. Just like Wen Ning you too deserve happiness, love and most of all respect. 

I'm glad that after his reincarnation he got the life he was supposed to have. And I'll make sure you get an even better future this time around.

"Wen Ning!"

"Yes Wei -"

"Let's go catch some chickens!" 

Wen Ning looks dumbfounded. "But it's nearly night time and why do you like chickens so much? Even in cloud Resses, I saw you carrying Chickens around."

"Oh, my innocent Wen Ning. Chicken tastes great ANd my dear husband proposed to me with them too." He says dramatically.

I roll my eyes. You know what before that better future Imma beat him into a pulp to get some sense in him.

"Hey!" 

"Come on Chengcheng and get that frown upside down."

Wei Wuxian drags both me and Wen Ning out the door. To catch Chickens.

Again.

I don't get paid enough for this shit. But then again I don't get paid at all.
