A few days later Wei Ying was allowed to leave the infirmary with the promise to come for a weekly visit from him and Lan Zhan. Lan Qiren promised to bring the two boys personally. They left and made their way towards the Lanshi where Wei Ying would be living with Lan Qiren. As soon as they left healer Lan Yi send one of her helpers to fetch parchment
ink and a brush. When the helper came back she excused herself telling he just to call if there is a emergency. She went to the back room readying herself at the low table with some tea. She has decided that as from today she would document anything that happened between the two masters. During her examination she felt it even though she's still not sure what it was but she felt a slightly different energy inside them. So she would write everything down no matter how insignificant it might be. She is still trying to get her head around the way the second young master reacted towards them. She nows a alpha would protect their omega if such omega are in danger once they are bonded but this was absolutely not the case and yet he was ready to attacked them. Another things she needs to look into. She doesn't even know if she would find the answers but it's worth the try.

Lan Qiren started to teach Wei Ying how to read and write. The characters of his name. Wei Ying was a bright boy. He picked things up quickly. Lan Qiren was very pleased with him. Lan Zhan for his punishment had to copy the rules of conduct three times. Wei Ying not soon enough started to join the classes which he enjoy very much. His and Lan Zhan's friendship grew stronger after Lan Zhan's punishment were finished. Where the one go the other were not far behind. On Wei Ying's twelve birthday he got his naming ceremony where he got officially being adopted as Lan Qirens ward. His name was change from Wei Ying to Lan Ying. His courtesy name Lan Wuxian. He received his forehead ribbon that signify him as part of the Lan family and the Lan Sect. He got his sword which he name subian. Lan Qiren told him the meaning of the ribbon. That only family and his significant other could touch it. Through it all A-Ying had a big smile on his face. He was so happy.

Xichen was so happy. He got two brothers now which he will protect with his life. He knows there is nothing he wouldn't do for them. A-Ying had come along way from where he'd been. He looks at the two sitting next to each other while they're having their celebration meal. A-Ying had started to grow into his body as have Wanji. He doesn't know if his uncle or the others could see but there is a different aura around the two. It's like the older they got the more they change. Wangji's honey eyes would sometimes shine like the blazing sun and A-Ying's silver grey orbs sometimes seems as if there is a red hue to it. Maybe it's just his imagination but he doesn't believe that it is. The few times he went with them to Caiyi town he could swear that the people are silently worshipping them. They would keep their heads bowed when they walked pass. He does not know what's going on maybe he is just imagining things.

Lan Qiren at last feel content. He finally can give the boy a safe place and space. Looking at A-Ying he couldn't help but smile. He hope and pray that Cangse and Changze are please with him. They've been sheltering A-Ying from the outside world and he knows they won't be able to do it forever but for now they will their eyes away from the two boys for as long as they could. He knows his nephew got feelings for A-Ying but he won't force them to be together if A-Ying doesn't feel the same. Even though it would break his nephew's heart if A-Ying doesn't feel the samebut he will not force them to be together and in the process making  the one while the other is miserable. Let's see how things progress he thought maybe in time A-Ying would return his feelings. Nodding his head to himself he pick up his tea and sip slowly.

A-Ying vibrate with happiness. Finally he got a family who loves and expects him for who he is. He wondered if Lan Zhan feels the same. He really hope he does. Lan Zhan will always be his first friend. He maybe young probably to young but he knows that his feelings for Lan Zhan is more then friendship. He turn his head to look at Lan Zhan giving him a ear to ear smile when he found him already looking at him. If A-Ying just knows what that smile is doing to him he would not smile so brightly. Lan Zhan knows that A-Ying is his. There will never be another omega for him. Maybe he should make his intentions clear to him. The only thing that he could say is that he isn't interested. It will hurt but he will respect his wishes and continue being his friend.
The celebration end and everyone went their separate ways. A-Ying and Lan Zhan made their way to the back hills. A-Ying gifted him two bunnies a white one and a black one a few weeks ago. They called them Ying Ying and yangyang. Uncle said they could keep them as long as they looked after them themselves and as long as their feeding time doesn't interfere with their studies.

As soon as they reach their destination. They sat down as yingying and yangyang made their way over to them. They picked them up gently as soon as the two were in front of them. Patting them and sat them on their laps while taking out some carrots for the two. Feeding them patiently. They sat in absolute silence. Nobody's ready to break the silence between them. A-Ying biting his lower lip. There is so much he want to say but he doesn't know how to start. Lan Zhan is having a crisis of his own. How can he tell A-Ying that he wants to be more than just friends.
In the end after feeding the two bunnies they got up and walked back both to coward to speak off their feelings for each other.
