modern au where toddler!wkx found lost little gx and bring her home, telling his parents that he has adopted her so since then wkx had always been gx's gege even if a few days after 'adoption' they found gx's parents and returned her to her family

gx insists on going to the same kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school with wkx even if they aren't in the same grade

gx's parents thought it is all bc gx has a childhood crush on wkx but their thought changed when gx brings cwn home for some uni projects and wkx (who attended diff uni) insists on joining them while bringing his... good friend gx's parents bet

gx often calls wkx 'zhuren' instead of 'gege' after the adoption incident bc "i will only help u if u call me zhuren."

so the zhuren sticks.

but also, whenever gx calls wkx 'gege', it is always with soft tone and a soft smile after.

wkx and gx's papa teamed up to intimidate cwn and zzs and gx's mama keep matchmaking them and gx in the middle, 'can i go back to the part where my parents still think i am in love with zhuren -,-'

cwn, innocently: :D?

them, at dinner

dad: so wkx :) this is?
wkx, >:) : he's—
zzs: a senior. wks is my junior.
wkx: u extended a year.
zzs: still your senior.
wkx: a-xu!

gx's parents: ok got it

family dinner in another day, at wkx's house

gx's parents: so ever heard abt wkx's a-xu?
ru yu: *rolls eyes* all the time. but nvr see him irl
gx's ma: he's a good guy. i approve.
ru yu, scandalous: a-yan! u introduced him to them before us?????
wkx:

one day, wkx really brings back zzs home.

an unconscious zzs.

never have ru yu ever see wkx was this panic again after the last time gx fell ill after playing with him until dusk and got knocked out for three days.

thank goodness ru yu is off duty while her husband still on call at the hospital.

so turns out zzs's old illness acted up again and it was nothing serious.

(how is this thread steered to wenzhou when i intended to talk abt siblings!wenxiang)

anyway back to wenxiang siblings

wkx: what? cwn's uncle doesnt approve u?
gx: yes :(
wkx: elope. his uncle is shitty anyway.
gx's ma: before u elope, make sure tell us where u eloping so we won't report u missing again
gx:
wkx:
ma: u hear me?
gx: ... yes ma

teenage!gx rebelling phase is her not wanting to go back home and stay at wkx's house for days to the point mr & mrs gu just let her stay there until shes feeling going home again

the reason how wkx met lost!gx is she running away from home (for a moment to find a peace of mind) but eventually got lost for real and found wkx playing alone.

her family was broken at that time; busy parents with unattended child at home alone and came back home with negative emotions from workplace. ppl tend to start appreciating once they lost what they have. so ever since gx got back to their home after being adopted 3 days by wkx,

her family tried their best fixing their relationship. and with help from wkx's family's advices, they are now very close.

to gx and wkx's, their respective parents are their each other's second parents.

gx's parents' thought abt their daughter's possible love interest:

if they don't chase gu xiang like gu xiang did to wen kexing, then what's the point?

they are glad it is cao weining.

mrs gu: cwn, i ask u questions, u answer in a heartbeat ok?
cwn: yes.
mrs gu: fav colour:
cwn: blue
mrs gu: cat or dog?
cwn: dog
mrs gu: elope if ur fmily won't approve gx?
cwn: yes
mrs gu: ... really?
cwn: yes :D
mrs gu: see? nothing to worry, a-yan :D
wkx: *grunts* fine >:(

mrs gu: cwn, when u elope, don't forget to keep us updated, okay?
cwn: yes, ma'am!
gx, whispers to wkx: is that how eloping supposed to work?
wkx: yes ofc
