Lan Wangji makes his way back unnaturally slow while feeling more anxious with each step. He had decided to make things right but that doesn't mean he's not fearing for his life. Wei Ying is the sweetest most selfless person he's ever met but deep down inside that angel a devil also exist and Lan Wangji do not want to be the one making that devil emerge and end him. 
Lan Wangji although feeling his nerves being a complete mess still looks like the calm and elegant vice CEO on the outside, he hears some girls mummer as he walks by them and if he was more like Wei Ying he would roll his eyes. 

Thinking about the troublemaker seems to be for a reason as he enters the silent waiting room it suddenly turns very loud as a nurse keeps calling frantically for a Mr Wei.
Then it dawns on him, he is Mr Wei, yes he might have lied but it was for a good cause well at least he believes so. So what if he lied, he wanted to be there for the moment when the man who is his ex lover and the savior of his child wakes up.
The hospital has a strict family only policy so lying that his surname was Wei was only for good reasons at least that's how the Lan justifies his actions, however it takes a second for him to register that it is him being called but it is made very clear as the nurse suddenly grabs him by the arm and rushes them both towards a room.
Wei Ying's room, a lump forms in Lan Wangji's throat, he was given no time to prepare himself and he slightly panics being rushed to finally stand up for his mistakes but all worries for himself leave his body as he starts to hear the commotion inside the patient room holding who he always regarded as his soulmate. 

Hearing the cries and panicked mutters Lan Wangji now runs past the nurse and hurries inside the room, the sight makes his heart ache. Wei Ying is clutching onto the arm of a male doctor tears free falling from his bloodshot eyes and incoherent rambling leaves his mouth between labored and rushed breaths.
Lan Wangji ignores everyone looking at him and heads straight for the shaking body almost falling out of the bed if not the doctor stood his ground.
Without hesitation he grabs the slim form, he frowns even though Wei Ying is older now he is more slimmer than he remembers, it makes Jiang Cheng's words echo inside his head more and making his guilt heavier. 
He pushes his self pity aside and forces the shaking and hyperventilating body into his embrace.

"A-Yuan.. A-Yuan... A-Yuan.."

His heart feels so heavy, the pain he and his son has put Wei Ying through makes him feel like a scumbag, even though it of course had been unintentional. 
His soulmate has never looked this vulnerable and small in his arms before, it makes him want to give him his everything and more. 
Lan Wangji gently places his hands on both sides of Wei Wuxian's head and tilts it slowly back so their eyes can meet, he forces himself to be calm and collected, no one can ever tell anyways well except for his brother. 

"Wei Ying, A-Yuan is safe, you protected him, don't worry anymore."

His voice is velvety and almost like a whisper in an attempt to not startle the man looking like he lost his everything, is this what Jiang Cheng had to see.
Is this the state he had left his soulmate in.
A lump once again forms in his throat as he feels guilt slowly wants to suffocate him but when he finally hears Wei Ying finally acknowledge him as for who he used to be he can only focus on staring into those eyes, those lovely eyes that used to look at him with such depth, such deep connection only they could understand. 

"Lan Zhan.."

Wei  Wuxian's voice comes out broken and raspy as if his vocal cords simply gave up on even trying to work properly. 
Lan Wangji holds his breath as he carefully nods his head to confirm that it is indeed him, the one and only. 
Wei Wuxian's eyes seems to clear slightly from the dull look they had just a minute ago, then as they stare deep into his it takes all of Lan Wangji's willpower to avoid looking away from the intensity.
