It all began to get even way worse than it had already been when Wen Ning reawakened as a corpse after already being killed once. His mind had been reawakened at the hills behind the burial mounds while fighting with Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, but gladly everything had been solved without hurting anymore, atleast no one was hurt from this fight.
he felt confused as to what had happened and wanted to cry but physically couldn't. His body was already dead , and his thoughts and feelings were running wild.
As soon as he saw his sister falling into his arms, hugging him quite harshly while crying relentlessly, he knew something worrisome had happened while he had been unconscious. He had been scared of himself and of the things he had done while being blinded by rage, attacking foe and even friend.
After a while of trying to comfort his big sister, he only now seemed to acknowledge the other Wen remnants, which also had been people from his family, standing around them looking quite happy. He was happy to see them again. Wen Qing stopped crying soon as she was really embarrassed of herself being so openly expressing her misery in front of others. Even when it was only her closest family.
When it began to darken around them. all of them returned to the hill on top of the mountain together . Arriving shortly after , he finally got to talk to the rest of his family members and chatted with them for quite a while before hastily running off somewhere to change his attire to look more presentable.
Returning after a bit, he tried serving his master Wei Wuxian and his friend Lan Wangji some water forgetting the tea leaves. They didn't have any left, but this did he not know as he forgot about even thinking to add them in, and immediately got playfully nagged at by his master, Wei Wuxian himself. He explained himself and got excused a second later as Lan Wangji, his master's friend, had to leave.
Wei Wuxian led Lan Wangji down the hill with A-Yuan on his shoulder. When he came back up the hill a while later, everyone who was left of the Wen sect stood before their dining hall, afraid to say anything, Wen Qing spoke up for them. Explaining their anxiousness awkwardly to Wei Wuxian, hoping he would understand their feelings and their expressions of gratitude.
A while later, everyone sat together in the dimly but beautifully lit dining hall, eating together while also drinking some self-made wine. It was a bit, but nobody seemed seriously disturbed because of it. Everyone was just chatting happily even if a bit awkwardly, and even Wei Wuxian, the biggest overthinker himself, could forget his miserable thoughts for a few hours.
It was strangely loud on the hill as everyone was having fun. Wei Wuxian was enjoying the wine made by fourth uncle while talking to Wen Qing, Wen Ning, A-Yuan, Granny Wen, and fourth uncle. He also allowed himself to have some more fun by nitpicking on Wen Ning trying to imitate him at the times when Wen Nings body moved without his mind being conscious.
He laughed at Wen Ning. he had been acting so aggressive that almost everyone was being really scared and cautious so as not to anger him. Which would be unusual because as soon as someone would get to know him, they would know that Wen Ning was the biggest cinnamon roll that could ever exist.
Wen Ning immediately started blushing, trying to stop his master from doing this, from talking any more than this. Wen Qing did try to command Wei Wuxian to stop bullying her lovely baby brother. everyone else also started laughing and smiling at the comforting and heartwarming scene in front of them.
All of them could finally relax. Everyone was really happy that they could spend some time without worrying about what could have happened to them if the man in front of them hadn't saved them and wouldn't still protect them.
Who would know that in a few months from now on that the supposed-to-be scary ghost general would sit in pile of mud covered in dirt laughing and playing with a small child buried under some dirt with the also supposed-to-be evil mastermind also known as the Yiling patriarch.
And who would know that Wei Wuxian would have started fantasising about his dear friend Lan Zhan and would have been put to bed so as to finally stop him from talking more about him.
Who would have known that this had to end as soon as it happened, leading to further hate, sorrow, and misery. If only they could have had some more peaceful last days as a family, laughing happily with no thoughts and worries. Just being happy together and spending some time together.
