Wei ying after spending his time with his past version of his brother and his friend, decided to be alone for a while. He walked around gusu slowly and quietly and admired the place with the bottom of his heart over its beauty. The kids went to play with the teens. The disciples were shocked especially the females who saw him walking around were blinded by his beauty .

wei ying who turned coincidentally towards the disciples bowed to them and smiled at them . and the wind blew making him look even more beautiful . all the disciples felt their hearts coming out of their mouths . they would have made a move towards him if they did not feel the cold wind which sent shivers to their spine . they shivered at the person back of wei ying and pretended like they were doing their training .

wei ying saw another shadow next to his and turned around to see hanguang jun staring at the disciples . he sighed and went to him until they were close enough and spoke "lan zhan, they were just looking at me , dont glare at them . " he said as he put a hand on his shoulder . the cold wind suddenly disappeared . everyone was glad until they saw the new heavenly boy putting a hand on hanguang jun . they all prayed for the poor boy's life . but they did expect this to happen

"mm" wangji said as he looked at him . "lan zhan you seem troubled , are you alright ??" wei ying said as he kept a hand on the older's face and forehead . 'shit he really is going to die ' the disciples thought . "mm" was all the reply

"....."

"...."

this is the least expected from everyone . hanguang jun only lets his family touch him and only his hands . but this new guy out of nowhere just put a hand on his face and even got a reply back . 'shit.....he is amazing' .

"lan zhan , see , you can share your troubles with me ok?...... you are the past of my husband .... wei ying can listen to you .... and dont forget i can read you like a open book . so dont hide your thoughts and speak up . i know the past me is dead . and i know i cant replace him . but i personally think speaking up is a good option okay? you can always speak with me lan zhan.... i can always listen to you " he spoke holding hanguang jun's cheeks in his hand

lan wangji's eyes widened . he could have cried if he was alone . 'emitting emotions is forbidden' the thought occurred in his head . but could not follow as he was about to break down . no one has spoke with him with this much of a patience . his brother barely speaks with him as his sect duties are the more important than him , but he enjoyed the very little company his brother gave him . his son and his most favorite disciple who he planned on adopting on his birthday were the only company he always had in these 10 years . but they had their own classes and training so their time was also limited as well . but here a guy who looks like wei ying just exposed him but did not cross boundaries .

wei ying saw the internal trauma his past husband was going through and retracted his hands from the older's face and held his hands " how about we talk alone ? i can see that you are about to cry any moment from now lan zhan.." . he spoke softly . while wangji could not think anything but privacy is the most best thing he would need right now . he held the younger's hands and dragged him to the jingshi .

the disciples who did not hear any of their conversations "...." 'what was going on?'

once they reached the jingshi , wangji let wei ying inside and closed the door and put silence talisman in the room and turned around to see wei ying sitting on the bed comfortably , he did not complain and went to him and sat next to him to be hugged harder into a bone crushing hug by wei ying . he broke up the next second and cried in wei ying's arms who in return rubbed his back of his head and his back in a soothing way with both of his hands which spread warmth like he was hugged by his own mother .

for what it felt like an eternity , he finally released the hug , face pink from crying a lot . he never cried for years , so he put all his sorrows and grief in the moment he had . wei ying just chuckled and wiped his face before letting him lie on his lap . Wangji kept snuffling like a child. Despite breaking several rules, he was glad, this entire time with his future self's husband was worth it. Wei ying patted his head once he made himself comfortable on the younger's lap. He took in the warmth greedily.

"wei ying.... "

"hmm?"

"i-i.... "

"take your own time lan zhan, dont force yourself "

"mm..... " and soon wangji spoke about his entire time with wei ying and their love story and wei ying's death and cried in his lap like a child. He gave some gaps to himself to not break down during his explanation to his future self husband.

Wei ying was deeply saddened by their past's love story. Not every fairytale has a good ending afterall. He was happy that the other was speaking out his thoughts out. Having things secretly within themselves is unhealthy. Especially someone who is under a depression like the one lying on his lap.

"lan zhan, you did your best, i can never blame you for my death and to be frank if i was in that situation, i would have been glad that someone was there for me. Thank you lan zhan for giving me the last support you can give for me in my past life "

"but i fa-"

"no, you did not fail, you tried your best "

"mm" wangji admitted finally in defeat and sleep overcame him after crying for long

'no wonder, jiang cheng acted like that when we met' wei ying thought as he patted wangji's head to only notice that the other slept on his lap. 'he is cute' wei ying secretly took a pic of him sleeping and smiled at the pic.

He kept patting softly and hummed a melody song along with it.

It was dinner time and wei ying and both lan wangji's did not come. The future version told he is skipping dinner .but that doesn't explain ovee the other two's absence.

So both qiren and xichen decided to check on him. They both went to the jingshi and opened the door and froze. Their wangji was sleeping peacefully for which they never saw him doing that in years and the troublemaker wei wuxian is humming while patting his head.

Wei ying noticed the intruders and kept a finger on his mouth telling them not to speak. And slowly retreated his hands and laid wangji on bed and drapped the bed sheet on him after making him lie in lan style

He just whispered a good night to the sleeping wangji and came out and closed the door and smiled at the lans and spoke "lets eat" and started walking away.

'just what did he do? '

After their dinner, the kids planned to sleep with the teens and went to shizhui's room along with jingyi who was forced to sleep with sizhui by the kids

Wei ying had no idea, he can sleep with his husband but he has his own meetings going on now.

"wei xiong where are you going to sleep today? "

"he can sleep with me " jiang Wanyin spoke

"fine " he just sighed and went along with him. Jin ling had complicated expression on his face, his uncle always hated him yet is sharing a room with him? But decided against it and said nothing.

Jiang cheng and wei ying went to jiangs assigned bedroom and Wanyin turned to take his night robes. After he took it he turned around

"....."

He saw wei ying topless and is removing his pants showing his cloud designed boxers.

"...."

Wei ying who noticed it "come, lets sleep" he said as he patted teh bed.

"you are sleeping like this" jiang cheng spoke.

"oh so you want to sleep naked??  Fine with me " wei ying said as he put a hand on his boxers to be grabbed by a pannicked jiang cheng.

"w-wear t-this " he gave a night robe to his brother and turned around with a blush. He had never seen wei ying naked after the qishan wen conference. His brother was beautifully built.

"fine"

"What was that? "

"hmm? "

"your abdomen"

"oh i said i gave birth right and this is the scar , after all i went under C-section "

"i see"

"lets sleep " wei ying said as he laid down on the bed.

"hmm" jiang cheng joined him and both slept

It was 9 in the morning when everyone was there in the dinning hall except the jiang sect leader and wei ying. Future lan wangji ate the breakfast and went to sleep as he was awake during the night for the meeting

Hanguang jun, on the other side had a calm aura and had a faint happiness on his face. The lans were shocked as they are seeing him , he was never happy after the sunshot campaign.

"what happened to jiang xiong, he would be here by now "

"lets check on them " qiren said as he stroked his goatee

So huaisang, xichen, wangji, qiren, jin ling, sizhui and jingyi moved to the room and found it unlocked and opened it slowly and

"....."

Wanyin was awake and had dark lines down his face and had a expression like he really regretted this decision. Wei ying on other hand was sleeping soundly hugging the other like a doll and was drooling while sleeping.  He had a smile on his face but not awake. His hands and legs were wrapped around Wanyin's torso.

When Wanyin saw the intruders he spoke helplessly "help me please "

After a long time of struggling they all finally removed wanyin from wei ying's grasp. 'shit this guy got lan strength '
. They tried various methods to wake him up and everything was futile. Wanyin on the mean time freshed up and came out.

"jiang xiong how to you make wei xiong wake up? "

"i don't know if it works,  but let me try it "

"mmm"

Jiang cheng took in a deep breath and shouted "wei wuxian!!!! If you don't wake up i am going to call the dogs!!!! " everyone had hands on their ears.

Wei ying abruptly woke up and looked around panicked and pulled jingyi who was coincidentally standing close to him in to a hug and hid his face on his chest "d-dont c-call the dogs" .

"wei xiong, you have fear for dogs? "

Wei ying then noticed his surroundings and removed the hug and nodded.

"get ready and come, we are having breakfast " qiren said as he stroked his goatee

"mm grandpa lan"

"...."

No one spoke and left wei ying and jiang cheng and walked to the dinning hall.

"here" jiang cheng gave him a violet robes

"sorry but could you help me with this? I never wore Chinese traditional dresses "

"....."

"fine"

And then they made their way to the dinning hall. The jiang disciples had wide eyes. The dress the short hair guy was wearing belongs to the position of a person who is above a head disciple and below to the sect leader. But they knew better not to speak regarding this

And they all had a silent breakfast.

"uncle i want to speak with you alone" jin ling spoke

"sure"

They both left.

"hanguang jun,  you look happy, any special news? "

Everyone's head turned to the said person to see a expressionless face 'he looks h-happy? '

"mm,  i am adopting jingyi as my second son on his birthday "

Jingyi looked like he was about to cry. Everyone smiled.
"i got a younger brother " sizhui spoke as he pulled jingyi to a hug.

It was a happy moment for all
