"I know but it leads to things like that!" Wuxian protested with a laugh, blocking her swats with arm.
"Well, I'm kind of good at that, y'know..." He said, only half joking. His big mouth would be the death of him, he was sure of it. It sure got him into a lot of trouble in his past life, too.
He felt his face heat up and he scratched mindlessly at the table. "I mean... I've seen porn... if that's what you're asking. I haven't actually like... done anything with other people." At least in this life... "As a joke, Huaisang took me to a sex shop when I turned 18. He said he was going to take me to a casino when I turn 21. I think he's joking, but I also thought he was joking about taking me to an adult shop so..." He shrugged. Confessing this to his older sister felt a lot like how he imagined it would feel to confess this sort of thing to a parent. If he had parents that he actually liked and that cared about him.

Yanli rolled her eyes at Wuxian, Jiang Cheng might do it more often, but Yanli had perfected it. "So by your logic, the fact that you share a room with your roommate slash soulmate means you'll have sex? Keep that lube dear, you'll need it," she said sticking her tongue out at him.
"I always thought that maybe you and Huaisang had done some experimenting, but it sounds like that's a no." She quirked her head, thinking back, "wait, what happened when you were in your junior year of high school? I remember hearing you two in your room and the sounds were....." she cleared her throat, "sexual, in nature."

Wuxian looked her up and down and sneered. "Rude." He said, though based off what he said, it was easy to get to the conclusion she did. "Look, all I'm saying is if two people are romantically involved and share a room, then often times things might happen. I may have a crush on my roommate but we are not dating." He said firmly. "And besides that, no one needs that much lube!"
"Wow, you clearly have a better memory of this than I do. Junior year, junior year... Oh. He had gotten a new anime. Pretty sure we thought we were home alone. I am totally innocent." He said, holding his hands up.

Yanli wanted to talk to her brother more about her concerns, but realized as the older sister and essentially motherly role in his life, that her concerns, sexual in nature or not, were likely too much for him.
"You and that Huaisang are trouble, I hope you know that," she grinned and put some more food on his plate.

Wuxian gave his sister a cheeky grin and nodded, thanking her for the food and eating more. "Listen," he said around a mouthful of food, at least covering his mouth with his hand. "Would you rather have a little brother who was embarrassed and refused to help you get rid of all that stuff? Even if you had asked Jiang Cheng instead of me, he would've gotten way embarrassed about it. I'd believe someone if they told me he's never had a dirty thought ever." He gestured to himself, "Instead, you have me, the cool adopted little brother who will help you with your... problem."

Yanli raised an eyebrow, "you and I have very different images of our brother. I think you two just fight too much for you to see it. I'm fairly sure he's more experienced than either one of us."
"I'm more comfortable giving you these things because I think they're more likely to get thrown away rather than repurposed," she shook her head, not wanting to imagine it.

"Not something I want to think about!" Wuxian shrieked, scrunching up his face in disgust. "Also, ew. And what a waste of plastic, honestly." He pointed at the bag, "That bag has hundreds of dollars sitting in it, and your mom bought it hoping, what? It'd encourage something?" He waved his hand, "don't answer that, I don't want to think about any of my family doing anything sexual in nature. I'm just rambling because at the end of the day it is embarrassing. Also maybe you put something in the food." He said, joking at the last bit. "Why am I still hungry... Also... shut up, me."

Yanli made another plate for Wuxian, "sadly, I've spent most of my life thinking about my family and them doing things of a sexual nature. Mother talks about all of our sex lives far more than you could ever imagine. Though she thinks you're much more morally corrupt than you actually are, Axian."
She thought about growing up with her mother and how she'd been taught about having sex and how to have a baby pretty much right after Jiang Cheng had been born. "I wish she didn't care so much..." she muttered aloud. She looked at her brother and her eyes immediately filled with guilt, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." She realized that her mother didn't care for Axian and she shouldn't be complaining like this in front of him.

"Thank you." Wuxian muttered to his sister as he took the plate before muttering under his breath, "Of course she does." He paused. "I mean, I guess I am honestly kinda morally grey, but not in that sense." He said, shaking his head, "More in the... like, killing people isn't always wrong sort of way, I guess." He felt like he should elaborate on that, but waited to see his sister's reaction to the comment.
It took him a moment to realize what she was apologizing for, but waved a nonchalant hand in her direction once he figured it out. "I don't care. They're not my parents. I only care about you and Jiang Cheng. Even Uncle Jiang is... problematic." He saw it a lot more clearly than he had in his past life, though he could probably thank therapy for that. "Glad I was taken in... Wouldn't have met you or Jiang Cheng otherwise, probably, but I'd be okay if I never saw them again." He felt like he was getting too bitter now, and he also knew that was a lie - he was just as torn up as Jiang Cheng when he lost them in his last life, and they both showed their true colors when they left him and Jiang Cheng on the boat. What was he supposed to feel for them? In his past life, all he was good for was to protect their biological kids, and in this life... He really didn't know yet. Maybe he'd have to give Jiang Cheng a kidney or something.
He realized he was probably making some interesting faces, and eventually looked at Yanli with a slight pout, "Now it's my turn to say sorry. That was mean to say..." He grumbled.

Yanli didn't know what to say. She felt her eyes start to tear up as Wuxian seemed to dismiss her family. She understood her mother had never been kind to him, and she'd done her best to protect him from that, but she could see from his face that she'd obviously failed him. She tried to stifle a gasp when he said he'd be alright with never seeing them again. "Axian... I didn't know it was so bad for you."
She balled her hands into fists on her lap and stared down at them, watching teardrops fall onto her jeans. She sniffled and tried to wipe her tears away, "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you more. What a poor big sister I turned out to be. I'm so sorry, Axian."

Wuxian's eyes widened as he saw his sister start to cry, and he felt a momentary panic. "No! That's not what I meant!" He said desperately, feeling like he could kick himself. When would he learn to keep his big mouth shut? "I appreciate everything they did for me. And you! You're the best big sister anyone could ask for!!" He said, his voice still desperate. "Please stop crying... I didn't... I shouldn't have said that. Your parents did so much for me and if those sorts of comments is how I repay them it's not fair to them... I'm sorry I upset you, jiejie."

Yanli stood up and went to sit next to her brother. She threw her arms around him and held him close. "You can say whatever you feel. I don't ever want you to not tell me something because you're worried about my feelings, okay? I was in a different position than you. If you say they were that bad, I believe you, okay?" she put her hands on his arms and held him away from her so she could look into his eyes. "I will always believe in you and believe you, okay?" She tried to convey her feeling through her eyes as she stared at him, "though you may need to talk me through the morally grey, killing people isn't always bad thing?"

Wuxian rested in his sisters embrace, feeling a momentary swell of emotions at the comment. It had been a long time since someone straight up told him they were on his side and believed him - lifetimes, in fact, and though he suspected Yanli would've been on his side in their past life, she never made it far enough for him to know for sure. Still, even with that comment, he decided to stay quiet before saying something he'd regret, though he wondered for a moment if his sister knew just how much her mother had abused him as he was growing up.
He let out a breathy laugh and nodded, "Okay." He said finally. He nodded again, "Yeah. Like... if you come across someone and you find out they like... I don't know... were a rapist? A murderer? Killed puppies for fun... Would that killing be justified? I think so. Or if someone attacked you first, if it ended in their death, that's their fault."

Now it was Yanli's turn to let out a breathy laugh. "Do I think rapists, murderers and puppy killers are evil, yes, but there's a difference killing someone in self defense versus killing someone to punish them for their crimes." She smoothed some of his hair out of his face, "who am I to be someone's judge, jury and executioner?"
She pulled him back into a hug. Hearing his feelings regarding her family had shaken her. She wondered just how much she'd missed. "Did my mom get worse when I went away for school?" She didn't really want to know because she'd just blame herself more, but at the same time, she needed to know.

Wuxian shrugged, "Who doesn't want to be Batman?" He muttered playfully. "Or Jigsaw." He added under his breath. He had always liked the Saw movies, probably more than he really should, but he understood revenge killing, even if he hadn't performed any in this life.
He was hesitant to respond honestly because he didn't want to upset Yanli again. He scrunched up his face and gave her a shrug in response with a croaky "ehh", having a feeling she wouldn't accept that as an answer but trying for it anyway.
