Imagine walking back to your house after a day filled with depression and mourning.
Lan Wangji had just retured to Gusu after the death of his lover in the mountain of bodies. He couldn't help but feel guilty because of how he let his hands tied behind his back and stayed silent after what Wei Wuxian had suffered.
His golden core was weakening because of the messed up things he had been dealing with. Stress filled him and he was about to faint from everything. Luckily, he got back to Cloud Recesses just before curfew, disciples were still active and roaming around. Lan Wangji got back home later than everyone else because of how much hours he spent on the cliff side.
Disciples gathered around him, worrying about the second jade of lan. His brother, Lan Xichen, just finished with a meeting, accompanying his uncle. He was horrified seeing his brother in such a critical condition. Curfew hit and everyone went back to their rooms.
Lan Wangji was transported to the Jingshi. Nurses gathered around, but he stayed still at the edge of his bed. Not moving a single limb, everyone noticed the drained eyes of Lan Wangji, the only thing in his mind is Wei Wuxian and his death.
Only him and Jiang Cheng witnessed his fall, this caused him trauma and thus leaving him unconscious and collapsing on the bed.
It was morning when he woke up, he slept overtime. Food was placed on his bedside table, he was too weak tol move but managed to get the tray. He slowly consumed everything, Land Wangji was about to put back the tray but suddenly saw 2 jars of Wei Wuxian's favorite drink. He remembered how he took back the jars of Emperor's smile that Wei Wuxian drank from.
He stared at it for a while, then suddenly saw a silhouette of Wei Wuxian. Gulping down jars of Emperor's smile, with a big smile on his face.
Lan Wangji couldn't help but break down. "Wei...Ying.." mumbling. Thousands of tears betrayed him, escaping from his eyes.
He tried keeping down his sobs, but disciples can still hear everything outside the Jingshi.
His adopted son, Lan Sizhuu, knocked on his door. But received no answer in return. Lan Xichen picked up Lan Sizhui and told him, "Sizhui, die die is busy right now, let's try again later okay?" Sizhui replied back with a nod.
Lan Wangji did not come out. Sizhui stayed by his door step and tried knocking, pressing his ear onto the door to hear sounds. Sometimes he would hear nothing, sometimes the sound of his father playing the guqin, and sometimes the sound of his father's sobs.
Disciples took pity on him and decided to play with him to distract him. Lan Wangji was secretly watching from the window, watching their son grow up and become a loyal disciple.
Time passed by and the day came where Lan Wangji decided to finally come out. Disciples were shocked by the change of appearance and personality that the second jade of lan had.
He was colder, taller, and looked more matured. Disciples informed the sect leaders, they immediately came out and searched for Wangji. Lan Xichen was happy and suddenly hugged his brother tightly. Lan Qiren didn't show it but he was happy deep inside.
