My immortal, mortal Beginning

Library pavilion

Mn replied Lan Zhan

Unable to keep his emotions at bay all the wraith butterflies flew out and surrounded them, letting go of Lan Zhan's chin and him letting go of his hand Hua Ying rubbed his heart again trying to steady his breathing and his heart beat

If I wasn't late and chose that particular wall to jump on no one would've realized the barrier was weak in the first place and if I didn't provoke you as I did, I would have never found out that you have an amazing form stiff like an oak but still amazing Hua Ying smiled

Lan Zhan didn't even lift his eyes, "Copy it one additional time."

Don't be like this. It's my fault, alright? Whined Hua Ying for the third time

You do not feel any remorse. Said Lan Zhan

Remorse about what? The fact that all that happened or that I didn't kiss you (I almost just did, I need to speak to mother)

Lan WangJi put his brush down. Hua Ying thought that the other couldn't endure it any longer and finally wanted to beat him up. Just as he got ready to put on a goofy grin, he discovered that his upper and lower lips seemed like they were glued together, so he couldn't laugh.

His face quickly changed. He struggled to talk, Mmph? Mmphmmphmmph!

Lan WangJi closed his eyes and let out a faint breath of air. When he opened his eyes, the calm expression returned again. He picked up the brush again, as if nothing had happened. Hua Ying had been aware of the hated silencing spell of the Lan Sect since long ago, and he refused to believe it. Yet, after making every effort, scratching the corners of his lips even redder than what it originally was, he still couldn't open his mouth no matter what. And so, he grabbed a piece of paper, wrote as if his brush was flying, and threw the paper over. Lan WangJi glanced at it. "Pathetic," he responded, crumpling it into a ball and tossing it away.

The silencing spell was only removed after he finished copying.

As Hua Ying was preparing to leave a silver butterfly landed on his nose

A-Ying are you alright Asked Xian Lian

Sitting back down thinking this couldn't get any worse, mommy, A-Ying is fine I spent the day copying down the stupid scriptures it reminded me of the time when mommy and aunt Ling Wen had A-Ying do Calligraphy and I made father suffer because I didn't want to do it alone. A-Ying's hand is sore he pouted as he once again threw himself on the floor.

My little demon at least it is just writing or you can leave it and come home Said Hua Cheng

Daddy, A Ying doesn't want to come home, I'll finish my punishment. Said Hua Ying

And here I thought you missed us said Hua Tianshi

Sitting up, A-Shi I do miss you, I miss home I miss playing with Cuo cuo and fishing and helping Jian Lan I miss my uncles' and my aunties but Cheng, Cheng is here and so is that peacock I must protect him. Mother, I met Nie Mingjue I said I could try and help him with his problem but I also need grandfather' help and I am friends with his brother Nie Huaisang, I am helping him with the four great clans ancestorial history, thank you for teaching me, so I need to help him too and there is Lan Zhan.... mommy, what is a soulmate, I mean I know the words and understand it what I don't understand is the feelings behind the word? Said Hua Ying

A-Ying why would you ask that? Asked Xie Lian

Brother is there someone there? Asked Hua Tianshi

I just want to know please. Whined Hua Ying

A-Ying a soulmate, is to be in love with only one person like my darling and myself said Hua Cheng

So.... Having the person on your mind, your smile brightens when you see them, you want to constantly be by their side, when your eyes meet the world falls away, sweaty palms, unusually fast heart beat and your breath quickens. Said Hua Ying naming all his symptoms but, did it as he read it from a text.
