Chapter Text
The Jiang Sibling were looking at the boy behind their fathers' legs and the boy kept looking at them back with shy eyes.
Jiang YanLi couldn't help but ask - "A-die, why does he look like a small puppy?" - of course the boy doesn't, a child imagination is truly something.
Jiang FengMian answered with a helpless smile - "Ah, A-Li, A-Cheng, this is Wei Ying, your new brother. "
The female and male heir answered, more like shouted, at the same time -"What?!", -"So cool!!!"
The boy got scared by the loud noise and his lip started to wobble.
-"But A-die!! Cheng-di is enough for me, I don't want another annoying sibling, and he looks like a big crybaby on top of that!" - Jiang YanLi exclaimed annoyed.
-" A-jie!! What are you talking about?? I'm not annoying" - Jiang Cheng replied scandalised.
-"Ha!! Of course you are!! I'd rather have one hundred dogs than you if I would be to chose!" - YanLi said sticking her tongue out.
-"You-!"
Wei Ying was silently watching the sibling argue, until he heard the word "dogs". -"D-dogs? There a-are dogs here..?" - He asked in a shaked voice with tears in his eyes.
The sound of his voice finally stopped the argument, the quartet of purple eyes turning to look at him.
Sect leader of Jiang finally at ease answered -"Ah, yes, I apologise that I did not inform you earlier A-Ying, but don't worry they will be gone soon." - Jiang YanLi after hearing this screamed -"What!! A-die, you can't do this!! Will you really chase my dogs away just because of him?!"
-"A-Li, calm down! A-Ying is scared of them, of course they can't stay here!"
-"I don't care! I don't care! He can go away if that means my dogs will stay!!" - Jiang YanLi yelled while running away towards her room.
-"A-Jie!"
--"A-Li!"
Wei Ying watching the scene felt guiltless wash all over him.-"Jiang-shushu, Jiang-shushu!! I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to anger her so much!!" - Wei Ying weeped at the edge of crying.
-"Don't worry A-Ying, it's not your fault." - FengMian crouched down with a reassuring smile on his face and patted little Wei Ying on the head.
-"A-Cheng, why don't you show A-Ying the Lotus Pier?"
-"Of course A-Die! But what about A-Jie?"
-"Don't worry about her, she'll get better."
-"Okay!! Come with me A-Ying, I'll show you the best place to fly the kites!!" - Jiang Cheng exchanged his hand and when Wei Ying took it dubiously, he immediately dragged him to god-knows where.

It was evening when YanLi eventually left her room after a long time of crying because her A-Die, did in fact, send her dogs away. She was going towards her favourite tree in the small forest not far away from Lotus Pier.
-'Supid kid. Because of him, I don't have my dogs no more! I hate him!' -she bitterly thought about the new family member. She climbed on the tree and sat on the branch - 'I don't care! I will sit here until my dogs are back or he is gone!'

Wei Ying walked back to the quarters he shared with Jinag Cheng lost in his thoughts.
-"- and then I-..Wei-ge?? Are you alright??" - Jiang Cheng worriedly asked.
-"Ah, A-Cheng, I'm fine, it's just, I'm worried about Young Maiden Jiang...."
-"Aiyah, you shouldn't worry too much Wei-ge, she's always grumpy like this."
-"This doesn't resure me at all. What if something happend to her and that's why we didn't saw her anywhere all this time?" - Wei Yings' eyes widened at the sudden thought. Jiang Cheng sighted and said while rolling his eyes -"If you're really so worried we will look for her."
-"Really?! Then let's go and hurry up!!" - Wei Ying said and dragged Jiang Cheng.

-"Young Maiden Jiang! Young Maiden Jiang! Where are you, we're worried about you!"
-"Young Maiden Jiang!"
Jiang YanLi stirred awake when she heard being called.
-"Young Maiden Jinag!" - yelled a familiar soft voice, she immediately knew to whom it belong.
-"Go away! Go away!" - she wailed while squirming on the branch.
-"Young Maiden Jiang, we-<-"Not me!"-Jiang Chrng added>- and your parents have been worried sick about you, please come down!" - Wei Ying called for her when he saw her on the tree.
-"No! I won't! I won't!" - the female Jiang heir cried, when because of her squirming, she fell down from the tree. Wei Ying saw this and he jumped to catch the young girl as fast as he could while throwing away the lantern he was holding, but he wasn't strong enough to catch her and she landed on top of him.
-"Ow!!"
-"Oof!"
They both made a noise of pain, Jiang YanLi because she broke her leg and Wei Ying because he landed hard on the ground.
-"Wei-ge! A-Jie!" - Jiang Cheng yelled with wide eyes ad ran towards them. He quickly get Jiang YanLi a little bit off of Wei Ying and Wei Ying only then could get up.
-"Young Maiden Jiang, are you hurt?" - Wei Ying asked her with anxious eyes.
-"Y-yes*sniff*, but i-it's none of *sniff* y-your business.."
Wei Ying sighted and said -"Young Maiden Jiang, I know you're mad with me and you have the right to be so, but you need to tell me where does it hurt. Is it your leg, Young Maiden Jiang?"
Jinag YanLi nodded a little.
-"Alright, we need to get you to the healer. A-Cheng, pick up the lantern and lead the way I need to carry Young Maiden Jiang." - Wei Ying commended while slowly picking up Jiang YanLi.
-" Yes!!"

After a while of silence Jiang YanLi suddenly murmured a quiet -"I'm sorry..."
-"Hmmm? What was that, Young Maiden Jiang?"
-"I'm sorry!" - Jiang YanLi huffed embarrassed -"And don't call me that.." - she quickly added.
-"Oh, there's nothing to apologise for, I understand." - He smiled softly -"And then how should I call you?"
Her eyes sparkled at the soft smile -"Like how you call Cheng-di!"
-"Copycat!"
The black robed boy giggled -"Alright, alright, there's no need to argue, A-Li, A-Cheng."
The siblings looked at each other and their eyes said only one thing:
'He is everything and I love him.'
