"....18?" Oh great, he's got to remember back eighteen years, sixteen of which he'd been dead. Two years before he died, what even was he doing? Sunshot Campaign? No, no that couldn't be right. But it was one of the few hazy pieces of his memory after he'd come back, ruthless and hellbent on revenge enough that some of the resentful energies he'd taken in had at times overpowered his memories of certain events. Could it have been at the end when he was feeling like everyone was out to get him, when he and Wangji weren't on the best of speaking terms? Did he drink too much one of those nights, just to feel something, and that happened? But why would a Lan woman have laid with him when their sect believes so strongly in a fated person?
"I... I don't remember laying with a woman all that time ago, yet here you are." Amidst the confusion on his face, Wuxian manages a typical smirk. "Heh, even if I don't remember your mom.. my apologies to that, I really do have a terrible memory, you're still here. No wonder you don't act like a stuffy Lan! You've got half of my family's blood running through you."
Jingyi can't even imagine what the other had been doing and honestly it's kind of weird to realize that he's finally meeting his father and he apparently doesn't remember having sex with Jingyi's mom. But that's fine. All of this is fine. Jingyi is totally fine. It does explain some things after all, unexpectedly. There's a lot that's not similar to Wei Wuxian but... then again there might be even more that is and he'd never really completely fit into Cloud Recesses -- at all -- as much as he loved it.
"I guess it's fine. Not your fault or anything," Jingyi says, scratching the back of his neck and it's kind of weird. With Wei Wuxian being dead 16 years he's now not even that much older than Jingyi. So. Weird. He's going to be thinking about all this for a while.
"I do feel bad that I don't remember her, it was another time and I was a different person. When I came back, my memory was damaged, some parts I can't remember at all." There's an awkward but regretful tone in his laugh. He really does feel bad!
The fact that he fathered a son when he wasn't that much older than Jingyi is now isn't what makes him twitch an eyebrow, but the fact that the body he's in now has only got to be in his mid twenties. It takes him a moment for it to sink in.
"Ah.. you don't have to call me dad or anything, Senior Wei is still just fine. Better even. Won't draw unnecessary questions to either of us." And he definitely doesn't want to have to explain that to anyone, especially not to Jin Ling.
"I don't think she'd be too upset," Jingyi says and he lifts a shoulder. He's pretty sure she wouldn't be upset at all honestly. There had been no great love affair as far as Jingyi had ever been able to tell from his mother.
"Yeah...dad would be too weird," Jingyi laughs loudly and it's got an awkwardness to it but it's not so bad.
