Three days into playing the other cleansing, Wei Wuxian was acting weird.

Well Weirder than normal.

Lan Wangji tried to talk to him that day but the other moved away from him.

He decided to give the other space, but since his heart was broken by the other Ignoring him and because he is human and rules be damned...He's allowed to be dramatic and sulk so he invited both his brother and Nie Huaisang for tea in the Jinghi that afternoon.

"What happened between you and Wei-xiong?" Nie Huaisang asked as he sipped his tea.

"I don't know!" He grumbled.

"Although I am feeling sorry for you, I find this tantrum of yours quite amusing as I have never seen you made a tantrum ever."

Lan Wangji glared at his brother when he heard that.

There was then a knock at the Jinghi door and a soft but trembling "Lan Zhan?" Was heard on the outside.

Lan Wangji quickly turned to the two "hide."

The two quickly scrambled away and hid under the floorboards of the Jingshi...There are two hidden floorboards.

'These two just want to overhear our upcoming conversation!' But he didn't have time so he said "Come in" he quickly hid the third tea cup away and cleaned the two and replaced the tea in an insane amount of speed because of adrenaline.

"Lan Zhan?" Wei Wuxian called out again when he saw Lan Wangji preparing tea. "Ah, you were out of it the whole morning, I thought some tea might clear your mind a bit better."

Wei Wuxian smiled "How thoughtful of you Lan-er-gege." he smiled slyly before sitting infront of him.

"What did you want to talk about?" Lan Wangji asked.

"I first want to apologize for ignoring you this morning."

"Bunny, you have been forgiven the moment you decided to show that pretty face in front of me again." Lan Wangji winked at the younger who huffed.

"One would think I would have gotten used to it by now." he muttered "I hope not, It's satisfying to see your reactions." Lan Wangji smiled as he poured tea for the two.

"The reason why l ignored you. was because of a stupid nightmare." Wei Wuxian whispered out "But it felt too real." Wei Wuxian then placed his hand on his dantian.

"You can tell me, I'll be here for you." he held onto the other's cheek and made Wei Wuxian face him.

Wei Wuxian smiled softly 'I know that.' he thought and took a deep breath before letting it out.

"I was thrown into the burial mounds by Wen Chao." he started there which made Lan Wangji's breath stutter 'No, that actually happened, you were thrown there, this is most likely a confirmation.'

"What happened next? Take your time." Lan Wangji spoke gently.

"I was...coreless..."

"...What?" Lan Wangji gasped out...that actually makes more sense if you think about it.

He knows his beloved would never do anything without reason.

"I know...it felt painful, I could feel it." he breathed out shaking.

Lan Wangji went over to Wei Wuxian's side and placed the other's head on his shoulder.

"Don't be scared."

Wei Wuxian calmed himself "It was dark, corpses are everywhere, my bones were all broken, no food but corpses are seen, corpses that don't move, corpses that are already rotten, the place was...filled with resentful energy, it was pulling me down."
