"Oh no." He had assumed as much. "Please extend my sympathies to the Lan clan. I tried to converse with Lan Wangji when he was here but he only talked little and mostly to Wei Wuxian. I think Wei Wuxian is the reason that the Wens are targeting Lotus Pier first. Wen Chao has convinced his father of it, as he is obsessed with destroying Wei Wuxian."
For whatever reason. Jealousy and more, Nie Huaisang expected. "So I assume it will be multiple fishing boats. They want to go after you, da-ge, you are supposed to be the lynchpin. But I have not told them a thing about the Unclean Realm."
"If it gets dangerous, if you are getting badly hurt, you can tell them anything about me and how to get to me. Okay? It's not ideal, I want you to try and hold out but do not lose limbs for me. Do you understand?" Nie Mingjue's tone was very serious as he spoke because he really did mean it. He could survive this but he wasn't sure if his baby brother could. "Make sure you lead them to me, not to our gang. I don't want anyone getting hurt. Not you, not them."
Just himself but he could take it. He was a big guy and had already taken down the most Wen dogs out of anyone. "I will send word and we will all protect Lotus Pier. Or, at least, those who are united. The Jins remain a hold-out to a proper alliance. Selfish bastards."
"Of course, da-ge. I know how to act under duress." He knew that he was supposed to sacrifice his brother should he have to, yet he didn't want to hide behind him this time. Not if he had a choice about it. "I will not get hurt. I just miss being home."
For so many reasons, although probably most of all because he wanted to relax and stop having to do so much work all the time. "Wei Wuxian is very clever, da-ge. If you talk to him and he suggests a plan, please do hear him out, even if it might be unorthodox. He is my good friend and he has suffered here to protect us. He reminds me of you. A young hero."
Between Wei Wuxian and his brother, he didn't doubt things could be handled out there.
"I'll hear him out. For you. I'm not sure if I like how that punk speaks but he tends to have a pretty good head on his shoulders." Kids these days, with their sassy lingo and rockstar haircuts. Wouldn't have seen such a thing back in his day. His father would have canned him bloody if he'd had long hair!
"I miss you too, A-Sang. Constantly. But you know how sad I get whenever you leave for too long." When A-Sang went to summer camp, it had been so hard for him. He had spent an unhealthy amount of time in his brother's room. He needed A-Sang, as much as A-Sang needed him. "Don't tell anyone your brother is a sap when interrogated. Spare me my pride, eh?"
"There is no shame in being close to your family, da-ge. I believe it is our greatest strength." He let out a short laugh. "Well. It is definitely my greatest strength. I don't have much else."
He was not the one bench-pressing a ludicrous amount of weight. "I will delete this call from the call log. But I will try and be home by Friday. I don't want you missing me much longer."
"I don't want to miss you too long either. Delete the call and move before they catch you, there's a good boy. And when you're back, we'll celebrate. You love that one place, with the fancy little lighting and the weirdly small plates of tiny food. We'll go there!" Even if last time he had gone, he had left hungry and baffled. Who put two pieces of tofu on a plate?!
"I'll see you Friday. Stay safe. We'll eliminate all the Wen dogs yet!" He would make it his mission.
