Baoshan watched as Wangji exits the house and walks out to her, Wen Qing and Xichen with Wuxian on his back. She could only giggle at the two. Lan Wangji set Wuxian down and sat beside him.

"I see you two are as in love as ever," Baoshan pointed out.

"Of course," Wuxian said, "Lan Zhan is spoiling me so bad this morning...I can get enough of him."

"I think you can spare us the details," Wen Qing said.

"Why?" Wuxian asked.

"I do not want to know what you to do in your private time," Wen Qing stated.

"Okay," Wuxian said, "where did Meng Yao end up being placed?"

"He is in a cell in Qinghe, awaiting his trial," Xichen answered.

"Oh, okay," Wuxian said and started eating.

For one, Wei Wuxian was quiet as he ate. He was behaving and it seemed slightly strange, even for Wangji. Though he has been acting a bit strange lately. More playful but also more clingy and lovey-dovey, but Wangji loved it all the same. It meant that Wei Wuxian was happy again and he was feeling more like himself. Lan Wangji finished eating and hugged Wuxian close to him.

"Mnn, Lan Zhan," Wuxian said, "so cuddly."

Wangji smiled as he placed a kiss on Wuxian's cheek, "I am glad to see you are feeling better, Xīngān."

Lan Xichen has never seen such a bright smile appear on his brother's face before. Wei Wuxian did that, he brought out a side to Lan Wangji that Lan Xichen never thought he would ever see. A smile that was as bright as the sunlight on freshly laid snow. He also never expected to see his brother this enchanted by being in love either but he was happy to see it all the same.

"Do you two need a few minutes?" Baoshan asked, "not that I don't mind this public display of affection, but do you need it?"

Wei Wuxian gave Baoshan puppy eyes, "why are you so nervous? Lan Zhan and I are just hugging each other. Why do you all act like we could give you three a show?"

"Just ignore them," Wangji told him, as he placed his lips by Wuxian's ear, and then whispered, "let them be jealous."

Wuxian giggled and wrapped his arms around Wangji's torso, "okay," he said, "what should we do today? Meditate for a bit? We used a lot of energy yesterday."

Lan Wangji placed the back of his hand on Wuxian's forehead, "are you sick?" Wangji asked, "feeling unwell?"

"No, I feel fine, why?" Wuxian questioned.

"You never suggest meditation, sitting still for you is like telling the wind not to blow during a wind storm," Wangji told him.

"I spend months and months meditating and healing when I first moved to Cloud Recesses. Since you and Xichen-Ge helped me learn to properly meditate, I have been finding it easier to do. And I enjoy it every now and then," Wuxian said.

"Alright," Wangji said and looked at Baoshan, "do you mind if we spend some time in your hot spring?"

"Just don't dirty it," Baoshan replied with a teasing grin.

Wuxian scoffed, "just because you said not to, makes me want to do that more," He joked.

"A'Ying!" Baoshan warned, "if you keep it up, you are going to be dealing with a punishment from me...I do not think you can handle that."

"Fine," Wuxian said and stood up, "let's go."

Lan Wangji followed Wuxian to the spring. They removed their robes, leaving their trousers on, and entered the spring. Wei Wuxian was, surprisingly, the first to fall under meditation. Lan Wangji was quite surprised, yet again he could not complain either. He sat there for a good while just staring at him. Basking in all of Wei Wuxian's beauty. Lan Wangji has noticed that he was a lot healthier as well, more lean and toned, his muscles were a bit more refined. It felt good to see his husband in such a good shape.

Lan Wangji eventually meditated. The two were in the spring for two hours. Once they were done in the spring, they left with Wen Qing and Lan Xichen to Qinghe. They had a couple days, but they were still going to be at the unclean realm early. Lan Wangji took Wuxian around the town for a bit first before going to the sect. Taking Wuxian to lunch and to go shopping. They browsed around more than they bought anything. It was nice to just walk around Qinghe for a while.

***

The days passed by, since the trial for Meng Yao was in Qinghe, the majority vote was to execute him just as they did with the others. Meng Yao was too cunning, manipulating, and always good with words as to try to get out of any situation. He managed once, so they didn't want to have that same mistake twice. So Meng Yao, Su MinShan, and Xue Yang were all dead.

The cultivation world thought, what better way to celebrate than by a wedding. Sect Leader Lan Xichen was marrying Wen Qing. Her family went through hell but in the end, they all were saved thanks to her friendship she has with Wei Wuxian. If Zewu Jun did not encourage Wei Wuxian to open up to him, everything would have been different (as you know how that would go).

Since Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were both settled down now, they officially adopted A'Yuan. He was officially, Lan Yuan, and his courtesy name was Sizhui. Shortly after Wen Qing and Lan Xichen got married, they were immediately blessed with a pregnancy. Later having a baby boy, naming him Lan Jingyi.

At the moment, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were relaxing in the backhills of Cloud Recesses, watching A'Yuan play with the bunnies. Wei Wuxian was sitting between Lan Wangji's legs as Wangji had his arms wrapped around him, and his hands rested on Wuxian's stomach.

"Lan Zhan, can I tell you something?" Wuxian asked.

"Hmm?"

Wei Wuxian sat up a bit and turned to face Wangji, "I am just wanting you to know that I am so blessed and grateful to call you my husband. We had our rough moments, but in the end, we needed each other more than we could ever imagine. Your brother might take the credit of saying he saved me that day when he met me in Yunmeng, but to be honest, it was you who saved me. I was so lost long ago and I did not know what it was like to be loved or valued, or to even depend on someone, and not feel like a burden. I was so lost beyond belief that I did not know how long I would have lived if it were not for you.

I know we say we have no need to say thank you to each other, but I want to thank you, Lan Zhan. Thank you for loving me and thank you for being by my side when I felt like I had no one. The love that I have for you now, is beyond my control. I am going to let it continue to grow wild as ever, and I hope you are up for that."

Lan Wangji brushed some of Wuxian's hair out of his face and spoke, "I love you, Wei Ying. I am up for anything as long as I have you by my side."

Wei Wuxian leaned in and kissed him. The kiss was tender and sweet. A'Yuan couldn't help but giggle, "Baba and A'Die, can I have a kiss too?"

Wei Wuxian pulled away with a laugh as he let little A'Yuan settle in his and Wangji's lap. He then placed a kiss on the little boy's forehead, "there, so much love," Wuxian said.

"I love my Baba and A'Die!" A'Yuan yelled.

Wangji smiled. He couldn't scold his son for yelling at the moment. He felt it was just too sweet for him to do so. Lan Wangji held the two close and finally felt at peace. He has his own little family, and he was happy to have Wei Wuxian in it.

After all when a person falls in love, it is something that is beyond their control.
