"Can you do me a favor and not murder people until you talk to me about it first at least?" she asked, holding him by the arms again.
She took a deep breath, bracing herself for the answer to her next question, "Tell me, what has she done to you, Axian? Has my father done anything?"

Wuxian barked out a laugh and nodded, feeling a bit emotional again as he sniffed. "Yeah I promise. No murder without jiejie's permission."
He looked away from her at her questioning. He hadn't even told his therapist about the abuse, or at least not until after he had turned 18 and he couldn't be put back into foster care. Speaking of, it would probably benefit him to actually go to the counseling office at school and set up an appointment. Maybe finally get that ADHD diagnosis. Perhaps get properly treated for his depression too. He realized he had gotten distracted and shook his head quickly, "Uncle Jiang hasn't done anything, but that's kind of his problem. He doesn't do anything." He said, avoiding answering the other half of the question.

Yanli took his hands in hers and held them to her chest. She could tell he was holding back, her mother must have done something terrible to him. She felt anger start to simmer in her veins and angry tears started to sting the corners of her eyes. She'd always known her father was a quiet man, but she didn't know it was to the point of neglect. She made the decision to start apartment hunting. Zixuan could come with her if he wanted, but she didn't want anything of her mother's right now.

Wuxian almost felt like Yanli silence was more worrying than her crying. He frowned, pulling his sleeve over his hand and patting at her eyes, "please don't start crying again." He begged. "I'm fine. I grew up alright, right?" He pulled back his sleeve and showed her his arm, "I don't have any scars or anything. Well... Not from your mom, at least." He said, muttering the last part and he noticed a scar he got... who knew when. but it looked fairly recent and he hadn't gotten into any fights or anything so it must have occurred via something stupid. Probably from when he tried using a palette knife. Actually, he was pretty sure he remembered bleeding while attempting that particular painting, so indeed something stupid. "Look, art has scarred me more than her." He attempted to joke, pointing to the scar.

"Physically sure, but art has saved you mentally where she hurt you, right? You don't have to tell me Axian, but I wish you had when you were growing up," Yanli said. "She only cares about certain things, and taking those away are the only way to get through to her, I'm one of those things. I could have done something for you, and I didn't. So I'll do what I can now."

Wuxian pulled his sleeve back down and shrugged; he'd always use art as a method for something. To help him focus in school, to stay out of his foster family's hair, and then to avoid Mrs. Jiang. It was neither a lie or the whole truth to shrug. "Uh... Wait a second. Jiejie, what are you talking about?" He asked, her words finally hitting him, and it felt like a truck had hit him. "Don't... You don't have to do that. That's in the past. I'm over it." He said, this time completely lying but hoping she'd believe him. "Don't do anything rash on my behalf."

"Axian, she needs to be stopped. I can't believe I let her do that to you," Yanli said, gaining confidence in her decision. "Plus, if she can justify whatever she did to you, then what else will she justify? I already told you I'm afraid that one day I'll find out that I can't have kids. Does that mean if I adopt she'll treat them like she treated you because they're not blood? I don't know what she did to you, but I won't let her get away with it any longer." She took an angry bite of one of Wuxian's waffles.

Wuxian shook his head, "It's not your fault, jiejie!" He said desperately. He didn't mean to tear the family apart, talk about being a bad influence. "And what makes you think you can't have kids? I mean, it'd be cool if you adopted a kid cause there's like... over 500,000 kids in foster care and the world's already overpopulated but anyway, I digress." He shook his head, trying to figure out where he was going with this, but instead eying the food.
Now he'd lost his train of thought, and couldn't get it back. He leaned back in the chair, muttering, "it got worse because I started outperforming Jiang Cheng even more in high school, not because you left. Those two things just happened to coincide." He knew as soon as the words left his mouth she would blame herself for not being there, but he didn't know how to explain he never blamed her, that he was happy she decided to follow her dreams by going to college in Europe, and was proud to call her his sister, and even before she left, was just thankful she was there whenever he had a bad day.

"Paranoia? The fact that I want them? The fact that I've been pressured to have them?" Yanli said. She rested her head on Wuxian's shoulder, "you outperforming Acheng is her own insecurity. She shouldn't have taken it out on you." She grabbed her phone and sent off a quick text message to Zixuan that just said 'we need to talk when you get home.' It was only after trying to calm down a bit that she realized that text was terrible.
"Axian!" her eyes were wide, "how do I fix this?" she showed him the text message. "Zixuan is going to stress all day at work now because of this, what did I do?"

Wuxian shrugged but didn't say any more, glad Yanli at least wasn't immediately blaming herself for what he said. He straightened up as she spoke suddenly, looking at her phone, "I... I don't know! What do you want to talk to him about? Tell him... I don't know!" He stammered, looking between the phone and his sister.

She put the phone down, realizing she'd redirected the attention to her. She was sorry to Zixuan, but she needed to focus on her brother right now. "Forget the phone, I'm sorry. What do you need from me right now? I would do anything for you, you know that right? I'd even help you hide one of these questionably murdered bodies."

Wuxian stared at the phone long after she told him to forget about it, tilting his head to one side and sucking in a breath as he debated how to answer her questions. "I know, because you're the best jiejie in the world. But I promise you, I'm fine. I don't need anything from you right now." He smiled, "Not even help to hide any questionably murdered bodies." His smile turned playfully wicked as he added, "yet."
He motioned to the phone with his head, "shouldn't you make sure not to make him worry his poor little heart out at your message?"

Yanli felt terrible that she'd closed this door to her brother but didn't want to push him. "Okay," she said grabbing her phone and returning to her seat across the table from him. She sent another text to Zixuan, 'Sorry for that text. Wuxian is here for breakfast and some things came up that I want to talk to you about when you get home, but please don't spend your day worrying, okay?' All the emotions made her hungry so she found herself piling food onto her own plate.

Wuxian watched as his sister piled food onto her plate, able to tell just from that that she was upset, and he had a feeling she was upset at the treatment he faced by her mother, but he didn't know how to remedy that. He'd already tried to convince her he was fine, which only got her to let it go for now. And it wasn't like it was a complete lie, after all in his every day life, the things that traumatized him happened in a previous life, and it was during events she couldn't be around for, because he'd killed her, and those memories popping up randomly sometimes ruined his entire day. As it was, his chest felt tight at just thinking about how he lost her in their last life in passing. But these were things he couldn't just explain away, and he was pretty sure if he even tried to confide in her about his past life, he'd be sent to a psych ward.
He was relieved she seemed to text Zixuan a longer message, presumably an explanation, and returned to eating his own food, though he was finally starting to get full. He poked around at the food on his plate, trying to figure out what to say next. He wasn't usually one that had a hard time talking, but he felt like he'd spoken too much this time around, and was hesitant to start another conversation.

Yanli could tell her brother was being cautious now and she felt bad she'd made him feel that way. She knew she'd spend the rest of her day until Zixuan came home feeling guilty and beating herself up for all of this, so she needed to do something now. "So what's the plan with Mr. Soulmate?"
