The next three days were spent with Wei Wuxian and Yuwen Xing went camping, not the glamping that was a trend for the young socialites, but the real camping with sleeping bags under the starry nights. They climbed mountains, camped in the forest, hunted animals, skinned them, and roasted them in an open fire. Once they took a dip in the clear pond they found deep inside the forest, but overall they didn't bother to take a shower, only wiped themselves clean with wet tissues before they went to sleep in the thermal sleeping bags, since the nights tended to be colder. 
 
On the start of the third day though, Wei Wuxian was suddenly woken up by branches snapping and harsh breathing, like something or someone was running, near the edge of the tree that he was setting his sleeping bag on and the sound was getting closer. He quickly looked at his watch, and it was still three o'clock in the morning. He glanced at Yuwen Xing, who was also alerted by the noise and already woke up and unsheathed the knife she kept on her ankle. They waited in silence, when suddenly a shadow burst out from behind the tree and Wei Wuxian quickly unsheathed his knife, but stopped when he saw what, or more like who was coming down like a wounded animal. He quickly sheathed his knife before approaching the figure, and signaled Yuwen Xing to call for help.

It was a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen, and she was bleeding. She was fully hysterical and trying to defend herself by screaming and kicking and scratching Wei Wuxian, who tried to calm her down by holding her firmly and talking to her in low voices.

"Hey, easy, easy, it's alright, it's alright, you are safe now, you are safe." He hugged the girl tight, and tried to calm her down. After a while, she realized that she was safe , and she finally let out her cry of anguish and hugged Wei Wuxian back, while sobbing uncontrollably.

"Help… help me… they… they were right… behind… help, I'm scared…" The girl was shivering so bad her teeth were clacking against each other hard. Her hands and feet were bleeding from the rope burns, and her skimpy dress was torn into pieces with blood everywhere. Wei Wuxian quickly took his blanket and covered the girl with it while still hugging her, and she clutched to him desperately, and whimpered like a scared puppy.

Yuwen Xing, who already took out her satellite phone, contacted their bodyguards to prepare the chopper and to secure the area where they stayed. The chopper came about fifteen minutes later and it landed on an open field not far from their location, but they had to walk there. Wei Wuxian carried the girl effortlessly like she weighed nothing, and they left their camping stuff for the bodyguard to collect. After they went into the chopper, Yuwen Xing gave an order to the pilot.

"Cloud Recess Hospital. Pronto."

The Cloud Recess Hospital was a private hospital owned by the Lans. It was mostly for research purposes, but there were a few patients, mostly celebrities or important figures, who did not want to be disturbed by paparazzi, since the security was top notch, and there were helipads on the rooftop of the hospital. In which they were dropped off just fifteen minutes ago.

The girl was quickly brought to the emergency room, but she insisted that Wei Wuxian accompany her while she was being treated, until the doctor gave her sedative, and Wei Wuxian finally able to leave the room…
 
… straight into the strong arms with the familiar smell of sandalwood and citrus.
 
"Wei Ying, are you hurt anywhere?" Lan Wangji held Wei Wuxian's face, and he visually checked from top to bottom. "You're bleeding. Where's the doctor?" He panicked and tried to find a doctor when Wei Wuxian held back his arm.

"I'm fine, Lan Zhan. This wasn't my blood." He squeezed Lan Wangji's arm. But he realized that he was dirty, and his clothes, a camouflage pants and black racerback top, was covered in dried blood. "I think I need to shower and change before the girl wakes up and looks for me." He chuckled, but Lan Wangji's expression was changed.

"So, you still remember me. That means that you're…"

"Still eighteen, yeah, sorry." Wei Wuxian mumbled, though he didn't know why he was sorry.

"What would you be sorry about? You're still alive, that's what matters. Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you and mom called for the chopper straight to the hospital?" He touched Wei Wuxian's smudged face and tried to clean it up with his thumb unsuccessfully. "I left everything and went straight here, and seeing you covered in blood like that…" if he had one trauma, it was that he had watched his beloved die in front of his eyes. Twice. He did not want to see that traumatic scene ever again, even if he had to sacrifice his life for him.
 
"Lan Zhan… I really am okay." Wei Wuxian squeezed Lan Wangji's hands and guided them to his face. "See? I'm fine, I'm okay, although I can't say the same for the girl." He kissed Lan Wangji's palm lightly. It was an act of intimacy that Wei Wuxian unconsciously did, because it felt natural. He might have lost his memories, or whatever, but his muscle memories were still intact, and when he sensed the distress in Lan Wangji's voice, he just felt the need to comfort the man, whose smell was so familiar and made him relax and lowered his guard. In short, he was successfully pavloved by Lan Wangji, but he had no complaint. This was the first time he liked to be pampered, and cared for. By Hanguang Jun of all people.
 
"What happened? How did you even find a wounded girl in the middle of nowhere? I thought you were just supposed to fight rabbits, or deer." Lan Wangji was amazed by the amount of troubles that this person, his beloved, attracted. He had already been updated by Xue Qing about Mo Ziyuan's situation the day before her adventure to the woods with his mother. Although he knew that Wei Wuxian did not have any memory about the Mos, they were quite irritating, just like pests. He should talk to Hua Cheng about getting the Mos under control.

"She was held somewhere in the vicinity, I saw rope burns on her ankles and arms. And she was raped. Repeatedly, and for quite some time." Wei Wuxian's expression became serious. "I would like to go back to the place where we last saw her. There might be a clue about her attackers, or her whereabouts. Can you talk about this with the police? I would like to help them investigate this matter." Wei Wuxian would like nothing more to investigate this since he was really against rapists. Those bastards who only could get it up by forcing people. They didn't deserve to live.

"After you take a bath and rest. It's still dark out there, and my shadow guards already secure the area where you met the girl." 

Wei Wuxian tried to protest, but Lan Wangji shushed him.

"No protesting, or I'll carry you off and wash you myself. You stink of blood, and have you seen yourself in the mirror? Even the bear will run away if they happen to smell you."

"Ha ha very funny, is that Qingqiu speaking? You sound just like him." Wei Wuxian poked Lan Wangji's arm.

"I think I've been around your friends too much." Lan Wangji hugged Wei Wuxian's waist and dragged him away. "Now, bath."
