(Another Two Years Painfully Went By...)

Lan Wangji had just finished teaching and was going over some scripts after the students left. His movements steady and precise. In an hour he had burrowed his way down to the last paper. Since the sun was still up, he felt there was no need to take the work home. 

"Lan Zhan."

The pen froze over the paper, wet ink let out two drops-staining the sheet... Was his ears deceiving him? Did he really hear Wei Ying's voice? Hanguanjun prayed hard it was not another hallucination when he slowly lifted his head to look. 

"Wei Ying!"

Wangji stood up. For three years now he had been waiting for his love to return to him. "Aren't you glad to see me?", Wei Ying asked with his arms wide open...Lan Wangji jumped over his desk and run to him, catching Wei Ying in his arms within some seconds. 

"You're back, you're finally back...", Wangji held back his tears of joy. Now more than ever he felt he did not deserve Wei Ying's forgiveness. For making him doubt that he would love him to the very end and did not need anything else but him. 

"I'm sorry Lan Zhan.", Wei Ying held on tighter. "No Wei Ying, forgive me for being careless. I'd never let anyone come between us.", Wangji pulled him off to look at him. This may still be Mo Xuanyu's body but it didn't matter as long as the soul was his Wei Ying. He wanted to kiss him so bad but the other stopped him and smiled,

 "I'm sorry Lan Zhan...I love you, but I cant be with you anymore...So move on..."

Lan Wangji's hand slid off Wei Ying's face. Horror in his eyes as he shook his head and walked away from the figure. "No...No...You're not him...He'd never say that. No, you cant be him...YOU'RE NOT WEI YING!!!!"

Wangji screamed himself out of his slumber. Another nightmare had struck him with fear. This time he could not take it. He thought he was so close to happiness, yet it was just another reminder that he fucked up along the line. 

"It's a dream...Just another bad dream.", he panted

Lan Wangji was torn, and the tears he fought back for many months in his vigil burst out of him

Lan Wangji was torn, and the tears he fought back for many months in his vigil burst out of him. "Wei Ying...Come back, please.", he turned to the person's side of the bed. Thoughts of Wei Ying's bad sleeping posture and how he threw his limbs everywhere made Wangji weep. He wanted to hold him. He wanted to be sniffed and cuddled by his Wei Ying. To be teased and loved in this place. Wangji would have done anything to get him back.

"Three Years Wei Ying...For more than three years I've not heard you laugh...It hurts, it really hurts.", Wangji closed his eyes, searching the only place he could find a little consolation- his memories.

Everyone could tell Hanguanjun was getting worse. The dark circles under his eyes and his cold aura made him look a little older than his age. In the day he buried his head in his work and books and locked himself up at night. Lan QiRen saw less of him but still did not give up trying to get Wangji to take another wife at the slightest chance. He raised Wangji and he believed he could break him if he kept going.
