Lan Xichen sat on the bed hugging his brother. He couldn't help but think of the past.
He had made himself accept the fact that he would not have a normal childhood with his parents and baby brother. It could only be a dream and never a reality.

He tried to be there for Lan Zhan as all three and he knows he failed miserably even as a brother.

Jiang Cheng saw Lan Xichen was troubled and said, "Sect Leader Lan, please don't worry. I'm sure Lan Zhan will be fine."
Wei Ying looked up from where he was sitting on the floor, as he was taking care of Zhen. Lan Xichen gave a small smile that did not reach his eyes.
"I thought this will be a second chance, where I can give him the happiness he didn't get in his childhood, but look no, he has to suffer now also.
Is it really that impossible to want my baby brother's happiness? Why does he have to go through all this again!" He burst out with despair.
"Brother Lan, please calm down, you have made him very happy these few days. He's delirious with fever, I really don't think he will remember today after the spell is over" Wei Ying tried to reassure the heart broken brother.
"But this shows he has not stopped from blaming himself. He still has not understood he's in no way to blame." Xichen said in a raised voice and Lan Zhan whimpered because of the loud sound. Xichen immediately patted and rocked him a bit and he quieted down.
"I'm sorry to ask this and you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but why does he think your Mother's death has something to do with him?" Jiang Cheng didn't want to intrude but he can't help but be a bit curious.
Wei Ying wanted to protest as this was personal but even he was curious and more than that, he thought, if he knew the reason, he can help Lan Zhan get over the guilt. So he waited to see whether Xichen will answer.
"I may not have answered this question before, but now you both have become a part of our lives and the affection and friendship I see for Lan Zhan, makes me very happy. I want him to have friends, people who can bring out his true character-"
