'You said "us" and in that moment, I knew those words were magic.'

~~~~~

The lanterns hanging overhead dangled in the fierce wind. The sky was shrouded with dazzling stars.

It was a magical night.

Wei Ying looked at his image through the mirror.

The navy blue suit draped around his lean waist like a mermaid, preparing to bedazzle everyone, shined through the fine Belgium glass.

He stared at a particular object on his neck with irrevocable emotions reflecting his gorgeous eyes.

A thin chain around his long alabaster skin, sparkled in the neon light. Wei Ying regarded himself for a moment and then moved to the closet and pulled a drawer. With a slight sound the drawer lay open and out came a beautiful emerald with its shimmering glamour.

Wei Ying looked at it for a long time and repressed his contorted face. A deep saddening sigh escaped his  lips. With shivering fingers he held the silver chain in his hand and his long  fingers pressed it so hard that his  knuckles turned red. It seemed as though the mere force would suppress the agony and torment he was hiding inside.

He glanced at his image again.

Those eyes-- big -- vibrant, still as eager for life as they were before,  except the dark circles round his eye socket,  they told a different tale.

His face too had taken a pale shade and held as a mirror to his shattered dreams.

He was thinner than before.

Nothing about him looked adorable anymore.

Wei Wuxian put the chain over his  neck.

It was glowing. Under the dim light of the room he appeared as someone who didn't belong in this realm.

Too good to be true.

Right. It was a dream.

Lan Wangji was a dream.

His love proclamations -- his feelings and how much he admired  Wei .... every-thing was ..a dream.

It was never real.

Lan Zhan was never real.

And he was running after something that was illusory.

He is a fool !

Wei Ying stared at the pendent on his neck. He could still see Lan Zhan handling it over to him as a token of their love in the special night when they became one at heart.

His deep golden eyes revealing much more than his words did ever.

No Wei Ying could not bear it anymore. He cannot live in the past and make it his reason. He had left everything behind and now he can't go back !

No..not can't-- he doesn't want to go back. He had put an end to it and he won't give it a beginning.

Sometimes in life an end is better. Wei Ying closed his eyes and let his  face regain the fine shade that would reveal nothing. Calm, tender and happy.

And When he opened his large eyes the determination in them was back.  Wei Ying was not a 17 year old teenager now. He was not just Wei but Wei Wuxian-- the CEO of Yilling Company, who had made his own identity and had an independent life of his own.
