Loving You Endlessly

Friend or Foe

Summary

Lan Wangji accompanies Wei Wuxian in the infirmary.
They're friends now.

*****************************************************************

"Jiang Wanyin, I will accompany Wei Ying. You may leave." Lan Wangji states firmly.

"Jiang Cheng, don't forget you should go to Shijie first, ask her to cook me some Lotus Root and Pork Rib Soup." Wei Wuxian tells Jiang Wanyin.

"You're dismissed from today's class. You may visit Maiden Jiang." Lan Wangji encourages Wei Wuxian's wishes

Jiang Wanyin rolls his eyes and stomps his feet as he walks out of the infirmary,
"Wei Wuxian, get better soon!" he shouts.

"Mn. I'll try. Don't forget to bring Shijie's soup when you're back." We Wuxian tries to get up but Lan Wangji stops him. 

He carefully lowers Wei Wuxian's body to a sleeping position.

Wei Wuxian looks surprised by how gentle Lan Wangji handles him.

"Lan Zhan?" Wei Wuxian asks in disbelief as he caught Lan Zhan's eyes filled with tears.

"Wei Ying" Lan Wangji holds Wei Wuxian's hands tightly

"Yes, Lan Zhan? Why are you crying? Have I done something that upset you?" Wei Wuxian enquires.

"No more dying, please." Lan Zhan states.

"Uhm, I'll try?" Wei Wuxian scratch the back of his head.

"Come now, Lan Zhan. Don't cry for this matter. Look, I'm alright now. Thanks to your mother. Besides, don't you hate me? You must be glad if I'm gone? No more troublemaker, right?" Wei Wuxian feels a pang in his heart as he says those words to Lan Wangji

"No." Lan Zhan almost shouts at Wei Wuxian. Almost.

"No? No, what? No, that you don't hate me? No for what?" Wei Wuxian asks

"No, I never hate Wei Ying. No, I wouldn't be glad if you're gone." Lan Zhan says, his ears reddening.

"Ah, Lan Zhan. How can you say that? You always punished me, scolded me, avoided me, you never looked at me when I asked you to. How should I trust you? But you never lied, don't you? It's against your rules." 

Wei Wuxian laughs, but then he touches his chest. It hurts when he laughs like that.

"Wei Ying, what's wrong?" Lan Wangji asks worriedly.

"Nothing, Lan Zhan. Nothing's wrong. I'm glad that I'm back." Wei Wuxian still hold his chest

"Does your chest hurt?" Lan Wangji's gaze is still at Wei Wuxian

"Hum? No worries." Wei Wuxian tries to smile

"I'll call Maiden Wen or Lan Jun" Lan Wangji gets up from his seat but Wei Wuxian tugs his robe.

"No, please stay. Just accompany me here. If you say that you never hate me, would you accompany me for a while? I don't like being alone in the infirmary." 

Wei Wuxian half-plead and half-hope that Lan Wangji would stay.

"Mn" Lan Wangji sits back at the side of Wei Wuxian's bed.

"Hey, Lan Zhan how long that I was unconscious?" Wei Wuxian asks curiously.

"Several months" Lan Zhan looks at him sadly.

"Lan Zhan, please don't be sad anymore. You don't need to be sad for me. I'm fine now. It's a bit hurt when I laugh but I think I'm good." Wei Wuxian tries to assure Lan Wangji
