Chapter 1
Pairing: Xiao xingchen x xue yang
“Haha, your voice is so funny”
“Here some candy”
“Stop playing around”
“No..”
No...No...NO!...Daozhang...Xiao Xingchen!...
Huh..? Such bright light. Ugh, my head hurts...Wait. Where am I? Looking down Xue Yang seemed to have been beaten up. His body still hurt so this wasn’t so long ago. His memories seemed so blurry so looking at the clothes he was wearing, they were raggy and were the same ones that he had when he was younger, So he guessed he would be around 8-9 years old.
“Hello There. Are you okay?”
Looking up, stood a beautiful person. With a gentle smile and light grey eyes which were cover by a small weimao* hat. His clothing was a white and grey periwinkle* color. He could probably be mistaken as a young maiden!
Very pretty… thought Xue Yang.
Seeing that the boy didn’t answer, he asked again.
“Are you scared? There’s no need to be scared. Here.”
He pulled out a small piece of, what seems to be, candy. Xue Yang took the candy, then started to unwrap it, eating it slowly. Tears started dropping while eating the candy.
The young boy was shocked so he asked nervously, “W-what’s wrong? Do you not like the flavor? Is it bad?”
Xue Yang shook his head and said, “Thank you gege, but it hurts… the wounds…”
The boy looked at him. There was blood dripping on his (Xue yang) knee. So then he bent down and ripped a part of his sleeve. Wrapping it around, carefully, to not hurt him.
“There, I’m sorry if it still hurts. I don’t have any medicine to put.” said the young boy.
“Well then I must be going since I’m not supposed to be here.”
Just as he was about to leave, Xue yang quickly grabbed his leg and said “Gege don’t leave me! Please take me back with you.”
The boy was startled and said “I’m sorry. I don’t know if my master would allow it.”
The boy knew he couldn’t bring him back, but he just couldn’t leave him there either, so after thinking about it he decided to bring him back.
While walking to the mountain the boy said “I forgot to mention my name is Xiao Xingchen, and my Master’s name is Baoshan Sanren. What is your name?”
“X-xue yang,” he replied.
“What a strange name, oh but it’s not bad.”
Walking through the crowd Xue yang got scared and held his (Xiao xingchen) hand tightly. There were so many people, but Xiao Xingchen got kind of curious as to why such a cute child got abandoned. Xiao Xingchen didn’t have many kids to talk to, besides Cangse Sanren, so he was very excited to bring back this child.
...
They walked for a very long time and finally reached the mountain. Xue yang was still a kid and couldn’t walk a lot, especially with his bruised knee. He didn’t want to bother Xiao Xingchen, since he was already taking him back to his home. Xiao Xingchen then noticed how his pace got a bit slower.
“Are you tired? Would you like to rest for a moment?” he asked.
Since he asked Xue yang he nodded his head, yes.
After they rested they walked towards the mountain.
The walk was pretty long so it took them a while to get there. The clouds covered the mountain and the entrance was tall and elegant. Xiao Xingchen gulps and then walks inside with Xue yang. It was very quiet since they came around in the evening. The kids must be either sleeping or quietly playing around.
Xiao Xingchen was an honest person so he couldn’t lie to his Master. He quickly and quietly led Xue yang to his room. He promised he will be back. While Xiao Xingchen left Xue yang began looking around his (Xiao Xingchen) room. The room wasn’t that big, but also not too small. The bedsheets were in lily-white and its fragrance was almost like lavender. He laid down there and waited patiently for Xiao Xingchen.
…
“Are you aware of the consequences you must face?” scolded Baoshan Sanren.
“Yes. He is just a child and I couldn’t just leave him there. I’m… I’m sorry, Shifu.”
“Hmph. He is now under your care. Anything that happens will be your responsibility, Understood?” ask Baoshan Sanren.
“Yes Shifu, I won’t let anything bad happen I promised.” Xiao Xingchen said with a teary face.
“Good.” Before she was about to leave, she went and grabbed a small bottle and handed it to Xiao Xingchen.
“It is medicine for the kid. Use it well” she said.
Xiao Xingchen thanked his Shifu and then rushed over to his bedroom. When he arrived he saw Xue yang sleeping. Xiao Xingchen realized that it was already late at night. He smiled and decided to sleep and put on the medicine tomorrow.
End Note:
Hello Guys! This is my first fanfic in general. So I’m not good with writing much. I’ll try to make it a healthy relationship, but with some angst of course :). I tried adding pictures that I drew to match the story, but you can’t add any sadly. If the chapters are too short, Sorry I’ll try to make them longer.
Here is the meaning of some words.
weimao - It is a type of Veil hat. Adapted from Central Asia.
periwinkle - It is a purple-ish and blue light color, it is also a flower.
Daozhang- daoshi /or Taoist Canon. It a respectful way for someone who is a Taoist Priest, or a Taoist monk.
Shifu - It just means Master in Chinese, but there is also Shizun. I prefer Shifu.
(Art belongs to me)
