It's quite natural for Wei Shengyue to be like this; it's always been the case for these childhood sweethearts.
Gradually, the twelve of them gathered together, and it became common for them to go fishing in the river together. It was also common for them to want to burn Zou Bingjun's beard and steal his wine from time to time.
Wei Shengxi was used to having Fu Muqian around. "I want to go to the military camp with you too!"
Upon hearing that Fu Muqian was going to the military camp, Wei Shengxi's face instantly darkened and his brows furrowed. His resentment was so intense it seemed like he could feed dozens of evil spirits.
"Honey, didn't Ziyan, Zimo, and Zizhi invite you to help establish the He Shou Wu Research Institute? Your abilities are more suited to that place. We can do holographic video calls. As soon as I have a holiday, I'll come find you, okay?"
Fu Muqian has always doted on him.
"No, I don't want to be separated from you." Wei Shengxi pouted, very dissatisfied with Fu Muqian's arrangement.
Fu Muqian embraced the boy, soothing him gently, and kissed the top of his head. "Let's shine brightly in our respective fields and meet at the top together, okay?"
“I thought my Zixi would become the best in the medical field, but after joining the military, his brilliance was overshadowed.”
“My Zixi should be a radiant sun that illuminates the darkness of the world, not a sun that squanders its talents.”
Fu Muqian's ability to coax Wei Shengxi was comparable to that of a certain eldest son in coaxing Fifth Master Shen.
Friends often say that when they're alone together, they definitely learn from each other!
Otherwise, how come they're all so good at coaxing people?
"Then you absolutely must send me a holographic image whenever you're on break! If you're on vacation, you absolutely, positively must come see me! Otherwise..."
She didn't say anything more, only hummed twice.
"Okay, definitely!" Fu Muqian cupped Wei Shengxi's face and kissed his forehead.
Wei Shengxi raised her chin and pointed to her lips, "Kiss here!"
She is very delicate.
Fu Muqian lowered his head and gently kissed his lips. "It's my pleasure."
It seemed natural for Wei Shengxi and Fu Muqian to be together, the only one who was dissatisfied was Wei Shengsui.
When Fu Muqian came to arrange the marriage, Wei Shengsui almost shot the eldest son of the Fu family dead.
The wolf he brought in himself snatched away the little prince he had carefully raised.
"Dad," Fu Muqian called out cautiously.
It wasn't until Flanda tugged at Wei Shengsui's sleeve that Wei Shengsui finally responded through gritted teeth.
She looked at her son, who was all smiles, with anger at his lack of ambition.
After their marriage, Wei Shengxi and Shen Beian often got together, and they talked mostly about Fu Muqian and Gu Nanyan. They mainly boasted about it, and whoever lost would inevitably have to cook a meal when they got home that night.
To outsiders, Young Master Wei is as radiant as the sun, one of the two most outstanding figures in the capital, with an excellent reputation.
In front of Fu Muqian and his classmates, he was a little troublemaker comparable to Master Shen.
Love is like growing flowers
His family of origin raised him very well. He had a loving father who paved the way for him, a doting mother, Uncle Qing who protected him, and a lover who accompanied him all the way.
His life was happy and fulfilling.

Alright, that concludes Zixi's side story, which is nearly six thousand words long!
Yes, this chapter is nearly six thousand words long!
Self-narration, two if lines
The character Wei Shengxi wasn't initially well-developed, but as the story progressed, the idea that he would fall in love with Fu Muqian became increasingly clear in the author's mind.
He was tragic, a product of consanguineous marriage. His mother died in childbirth, and he was used as an experimental subject by his own father. He spent his entire life hoping to gain his father's favor.
He was lucky. He had Qingran protecting him, giving him the same fatherly and motherly love as his own parents. He also had friends who wanted him to be safe and found Buddhist beads to bless him. Moreover, he had Fu Muqian protecting him all the way as he grew up.
He was kind, born in darkness, yet yearning for the light, just as his name suggests, hoping to protect all living beings.
He was intelligent; he knew his friend's schemes, he knew his father's schemes, and he chose his own ending, not wanting Qingran to be plunged into grief because of him and his father, nor wanting to put his friend in a difficult position.
There are many characters in the book "The Mastermind", but this character, though not described in many words, has a magnificent and turbulent life.
The author also likes him very much, and he will definitely live a very good life with Ziqian in a parallel world.
(Okay, this incompetent author admits that I was also teary-eyed when writing about Zixi ?(?﹏?)?)
The first side story about the eldest son and Shen Beibei's childhood begins tomorrow!
