《Pen Pals {MXTX}》19- Wei Ying's supporting cast
Advertisement
"Wow, Wei Wuxian. This must be a new record." Hei Yinghua glanced at the old clock bound on the wall of the taekwondo studio center, "You are late by twenty-two minutes and thirty-three seconds."
The girl raised a brow at the younger boy. The boy had his arms behind his back looking as if he was hiding something.
"Wei Ying. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Umm... That I will never ever accidentally break my wrist again so that I won't have to be driven to the local hospital to get a cast for my hand and therefore be late to my taekwondo lesson by twenty-two minutes and thirty-three seconds-?" Wei Wuxian blinked innocently.
Hei Yinghua stared at the boy. "You what now?" she asked incredulously.
"I broke my wrist, Jie." Wei Wuxian moves his arm to reveal a hand encased in a cast, "See? Well, it's not actually broken, I think Mu Yisheng said I sprained it or something, but anyway, I have to keep this cast on for a week or so," said Wei Wuxian as he knocked on the cast with his free hand.
"...Wei Ying, you never failed to amaze me."
"Wow, really? Thanks!"
"How did it happen?"
"I was trying to get an apple from a tree in my backyard and Jiang Cheng came out of nowhere and shouted, "Wei Wuxian! What are you doing??" As if he couldn't see that I was trying to get an apple from a tree and then I lost my balance and boom! I die and that's all." Wei Wuxian finished all this in a single breath.
"Okay, cool. Go change into your uniform."
Wei Wuxian blinked. "Um, Yinghua-jie, but I have a broken wrist here! I can't do taekwondo with a broken wrist!" Wei Wuxian waved his arm around as if afraid the older girl couldn't see it.

"I know. But that doesn't mean you can't listen, can you? Let's go, I want to show you how to do a 1080-degree kick."
"But, Yinghua-jieeeee, that's boring!"
"Stop whining, it isn't boring when you see it! And it's Master Hei or Hei Laoshi to you right now."
...
"Hey, guys!" Wei Wuxian ran down the school stairs toward two boys sitting on a picnic table, waving an arm and holding a basket of food in the other.
When the boy reached his friends, he plopped down on the bench. "I'm still mad at you guys." The boy announced.
"Can't believe you guys ran over to the hospital only to leave after a minute," Wei Wuxian complained, "Then you guys send me a photo of you two having lunch at the new nearby bakery. Without me!"
"Your own fault. Who told you to send us a text saying you're dying and you need us asap because none of your family members is with you?"
"I wasn't completely sure that I wasn't gonna die! Plus look, it's my right wrist that's injured! I can hardly do anything!"
"Hm, then what about the family member part?" asked Luo Binghe. "Both Jiang Wanyin and Jiang Yanli were with you. Jiang Yanli even brought you soup."
"Please, even if me falling off a tree didn't kill me, Jiang Cheng looks like he was going to murder me and then bury me in the backyard. I needed you both to protect me," explained Wei Wuxian patiently.
Then the boy decided to change the subject. "Anyway gang, look at what a girl gave me! I knew my cast would at least win some sympathy from some people!"
Wei Wuxian heaved the basket of food onto the table.
"Now, maybe if you guys ask me nicely, I might share this food with you! Ooh, look! Loquats!"

Hua Cheng glanced inside the basket. "Hey, Wei Ying. Did the girl say anything when they gave this to you?"
"Of course! Probably. I was a little busy texting Lan Zhan on Wechat, sooo I don't remember what she said."
Hua Cheng raised a brow. "Right. Which your 'broken' right wrist can't stop you from doing."
"Yeah, gotta learn how to type left-handed. I wasn't about to let a broken wrist stop me from using my phone," said Wei Wuxian with a straight face.
"You got your pen pal's Wechat?" Luo Binghe asked.
"Oh yeah. After he followed me on Weibo too," Wei Wuxian grinned.
Luo Binghe nodded his head, spacing out. Should he ask his pen pal for their Wechat?
Hua Cheng took a piece of paper from the basket.
"Hey, Wei Ying, read this." Hua Cheng tossed the letter over.
"What? You want me to read this? Ermmmmm, 'Dear, Luo-Gege, why are you so cute-' Wait what?" Wei Wuxian's eyes widened to the size of saucers, "This is for Luo-xiong?!"
"Well, that's just rude," Wei Wuxian huffed.
"Luo-xiong! This is for you!" Wei Wuxian shoved the basket towards Luo Binghe. "Er- Luo-xiong? Helloo?" Wei Wuxian waved a hand in front of the boy's face.
"Huh? Oh... What is it?" Luo Binghe blinked.
"This! It turns out to be for you," Wei Wuxian grumped.
"Oh...
Aw, don't feel bad, Wei Ying, remember that anonymous person who sent you a love letter last week?" Luo Binghe patted Wei Wuxian on the back.
"I'm not mad about that!" Wei Wuxian said indignantly, "Only why did the girl give it to me to give it to you?? I'm not a minion!"
"Of course not, you are our best friend, Wei Ying."
"I am?"
"Yeah! Right, Hua Cheng?"
"Sure."
"Thanks, guys," Wei Wuxian faked a sniff. "You guys are the best supporting cast anyone can ask for."
Wei Wuxian paused waiting for a reaction.
Which there was none.
"...Oh, come on! Neither of you guys got it???"
"Got what?" Hua Cheng asked.
"The joke!"
"Oh um, haha-?" Luo Binghe offered.
Wei Wuxian: "..."
"I'm going to eat those loquats."

A/N: if you didn't get the 'supporting cast' joke:
A cast can be a group of people. (The cast in a play)
A cast can also be something that helps keep a broken or sprained limb in place. (Hand cast)
Wei Ying has both a supporting cast and a supporting cast. Both are only slightly helpful. Double meaning 😛
Also- Mu Yisheng is Mu Qingfang from svsss. Yisheng means doctor.

The Gray God
This is the sequel to The Gray Mage, however, reading it is not required to understand this story. Three centuries after the god Rynovar claimed Earth as his own domain, ending the Fourth Age of Magic, he ruled the world from a floating continent. Deciding to allow humans a chance at having a wished granted or a question answered, Rynovar created a quest fifty years into his reign. Upon completing the quest, those who undertook it would be granted an audience with him and permission to make a single request or ask a single question. However, two and a half centuries after he issued the quest, none had succeeded and the quest was believed impossible, several stages of it having never before been completed. When nineteen-year-old Cyrus met Lyda at a restaurant, he broke the norm of his life cleaning up his brothers' messes and keeping them behaving to avoid causing issues for the public. Upon hearing her desire to earn enough money to attempt Rynovar's quest, Cyrus chose to help her complete what was believed to be one of the quests' impossible stages, revealing that he himself had a question for the god he wanted answered...

8 124Agents of the Lord
Eternal life, a dream that has always been present throughout human history, tempting countless man to fight and venture out. But in the end, what would you actually do for eternal life? -----_------ Synopsy n2: Would you enjoy reading about a guy shooting a priestess in the chest, pummeling her to death and hanging her body from the bell tower of her church? the thought of exterminating a world using plagues created by alchemy? well, the frick you waiting for? come join the fun! ----------------------------- Warning: this novel already contains parts not suitable for most of the people, i'm not referring to silly gore, but to seriously malicious actions like harming (now killing) children, poisoning friends and causing mass orgies. I've felt inspired by the work of re:hamster and cheating monster even tho this novel doesn't contain any litRPG. Read at your own risk.
8 89Creativity Can Fix Things
Meet Alex.Alex is like anyone, really, he just didn't know.He is an artist, a musician, tried to paint, every one of his friends knows him for his drawings. Meet truck.Truck is like every other truck, and everyone knows what a good truck does. It sends people to a new fantasy world.That or the author is just imagining this whole story and creating things out of his butt. Point being, trucks send people to alternate dimensions. The caveat is that Alex is creative, didn't fit into society like everyone else, but, as he would say, he is 'defective'.When he finally figured it out and was ready to fix his shit he had the most gruesome encounter with Mr. Truck. And now we are here, enjoy it. --- Looking for an editor!!! I'm writing this in an attempt to put a comedic feeling into something many people go trough: finding their place, fitting into society, adjusting to responsibilities and facing their problems. It's not really "WOW, HE MADE SOMETHING NEW!", but is more like "Heh, look at dumb ass doing shit... Oh... Hey, I do that too!" So feel free to read at your own risk. Don't know if it will be sporadic, regular or what. For now, it's a creative spur that needed a valve to release and. Here. We. Are.
8 65The Games we used to Play
Did you ever wish that life was like a game? With a simple press on the reset button you can just restart whenever you made a mistake, or simply resurrect after dying while fighting monsters in a dungeon.I tried playing REALITY once, and it sucks! The server is unbalanced, you cant choose where to start or pick the race that you want, and if your unlucky you end up with your character being ugly or worse, being born in a poor family with a physical disability aswell. Feeling like other people are born with cheat codes and walkthroughs in life, the unfair situations, treated less as a human being, ostracized by others around you. I finally called it quits, i give up, throw in the towel, kick the bucket, Log-out.....Just when i had finally resigned to my fate, tired of living, sadness, loneliness, my entire life flashing infront of my very eyes, darkness overshadowing me, and the ground quickly getting closer by the second. I closed my eyes, the wind blowing on my face, waiting for the curtains to fall on my pathetic-solo performance. I hear a familiar sound, coming from my tablet PC.* tring! *a notification huh? who could be sending me a message so early in the morning. Its not like i'd be able to read it anyway( currently i was free falling head first from the top of our school building )My life ended on that uneventful day, or perhaps not. [ .....Loading..... ]Follow the journey of a girl through the vast world, trying to find the meaning in life. Looking for any means to keep herself moving forward. Meeting others, will it finally heal her broken heart.
