Loving You Endlessly

Trapped in the Dark

Wei Wuxian POV

When Wei Wuxian saw Wen Ning and a Lan disciple were still on their boat, he rushed toward them. He grabbed Wen Ning and flew upward then handed him to Jiang Cheng. 

 Wei Wuxian flew back to grabbed the Lan disciple, they both wobbled on Suibian while they flew upward. Wei Wuxian managed to toss the disciple to Lan Xichen. 

Hence, he felt someone kicked him, he saw that same Lan disciple whom he tried to save, had kicked him off of Suibian. Wei Wuxian fell to the Abyss, and he drowned into the dark water. The last thing he heard is Lan Zhan's voice calling out his name.

Wei Wuxian didn't know where he was, everything was dark. He heard screams echoing through his ears, and they don't stop, maybe they were the local fishermen who died drowned in the Abyss. 

His head hurt, he couldn't breathe, he felt like he was drowning deeper into the darkness. Wei Wuxian tried to struggle from the water that engulfed his body but to no avail. He could not fight the dark water, fear crept upon him. Wei Wuxian felt numb as the water drowned him further, maybe this is the end of his life.

After some time, Wei Wuxian felt his body was being uplifted. He couldn't see anything, but Wei Wuxian knew that he was out of the waterborne Abyss. 

The smell of Sandalwood scent overwhelmed his senses, but he couldn't bring himself to open his eyes. He felt someone pressed his chest many times until he coughs up the water from his lungs. Darkness takes him afterwards.

It felt like forever, Wei Wuxian was floating in the darkness. He has succumbed to the dark.

Wei Wuxian thought that he had lost his mind, every time he opened his eyes, all he could see was darkness. Was he dead? Was he in hell? Was this mean that Wei Wuxian could never see his Shijie again? Or Jiang Cheng? Or Uncle Jiang? Aunt Yu might have been glad knowing that he died. Would Shijie be disappointed at him? Would Jiang Cheng mad at him for being reckless? 

When he thought about this, then Jiang Cheng could never break his legs, not when he already dead, right? Would Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu finally reconcile now that he's gone? His mind was occupied with numerous thoughts, and most of them were not good.

Wei Wuxian didn't know how long he had been trapped in the dark. Wei Wuxian couldn't feel his body, and he couldn't move his arm even if he tried to. Wei Wuxian thought that maybe this was his fate, to be trapped like this. Would Wei Wuxian ever be reincarnated? 

Uncle Jiang must have been disappointed. Aunty Yu was right, she always told Wei Wuxian brings nothing but trouble. Why did he keep hearing people's screaming? It's so loud, and his ears were hurt, his head was hurt

Suddenly, faint notes reaching from afar, but Wei Wuxian couldn't decipher what it was and where it came from. Wei Wuxian felt that he was still trapped and there were nowhere to go. 

The screams continued echoing inside Wei Wuxian's head, and he could do absolutely nothing about it. Wei Wuxian never thought that being dead would be like this. 

Would he stay in the darkness for eternity? Trapped in the nothingness? 

Wei Wuxian missed his Shijie the most. The worst thing about being dead was that he could no longer meet his Shijie. 

Wei Wuxian was bored and miserable as he could no longer see people whom he loved. He should've not wasted his life making mischiefs, he regretted that he never listened to Aunty Yu. 

Wei Wuxian wishes that he could be reincarnated, perhaps he would be able to meet the Jiang Family again. Wei Wuxian felt the darkness had swallowed him again

Wei Wuxian was sure that he heard someone was playing a guqin this time that's why he was awake. 

He heard Lan Zhan played a guqin once, so it must be sound of a guqin. The sounds of the guqin this time was different, it was more potent, and it did something to Wei Wuxian. 

His body struggled to release the dark energy, it's so painful that Wei Wuxian was sure he might have died again. Could a person die for several times? Wei Wuxian asked himself.

Wei Wuxian didn't know how long he had died. The sounds of guqin are stronger now. Wei Wuxian was glad that at least now there were sounds of guqin that accompanied him. 

The dark fog which surrounding him was not as thick as before. Nevertheless, he couldn't see anything, yet. After for how long he couldn't tell, when the sounds of guqin stopped, he could hear someone is speaking. Wei Wuxian wondered, had someone visit his grave?

"..Xian.."

Was that Shijie's voice? Shijie, please don't cry. You're A-Xian is sorry for making you cry.

"Wei Wuxian"

Was that Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng sounds distressed. What should he do? He didn't mean to die.

Wei Wuxian tried to reach his siblings if only he could say something to them. Shijie and Jiang Cheng were his siblings that he cherished the most, apart from Uncle Jiang. Wei Wuxian tried to speak; he couldn't let Shijie cried for him. Shijie should always be happy, she should not complain. Then, Wei Wuxian heard another voice, it's a girl. 

Who is she? What are they talking about?

Wei Wuxian gathered all his strength (if he still had one), to open his mouth and speak.

"Shijie..."

"A-Xian..."

"Maiden Wen, Wei Wuxian just speak." Jiang Cheng shouts

"Shouting is prohibited." Lan Wangji reprimands Jiang Cheng, but he hopes that Jiang Cheng is true. He tries to move closer to Wei Wuxian's bed to hear clearly.

"Shijie..." Wei Wuxian speaks again. He tries to open his eyelids for several times

"A-Xian, I'm here. Your Shijie is here." Jiang Yanli coaxes Wei Wuxian and soothes him. She wipes her tear off.

Wen Qing and Lan Jun rush to Wei Wuxian's side. Jiang Cheng gives them some space.

Wen Qing check on Wei Wuxian's pulse.

"Wei Wuxian, can you hear me?"

"Who are you? It's so dark, I can't see." Wei Wuxian asks frantically.

"Shush... A-Xian. Don't force yourself." Jiang Yanli tells Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian felt tired, no longer has the strength to talk to his Shijie. We fell into the dark once again.

"A-Xian, A-Xian, Shijie is here." Jiang Yanli can't stop worrying her Shidi.

"Maiden Jiang, Wei Wuxian needs more time. He has to rest now. Please."

Wen Qing asks Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng, and Lan Wangji to leave the infirmary. Saying that there is no use for them to stay longer.

Lan Wangji wants to protest, but Wen Qing glares at him, she insists that Lan Wangji eats and replenish his spiritual energy.
