Lan Jingyi was in his room and looking at his butterfly toy, he started talking with it:

"Is it possible to miss a person that you see everyday? I really miss my friend A-Yuan. We were both children and played together. I even violated a ban and ran to the side where he was. Then he got sick and forgot about all these. We were suddenly strangers. I hugged my dad and cried in his arms."

Lan Jingyi heard a knock on his door and immediately put his butterfly toy away, cleared his throat and said:

"Come in."

It was Lan Sizhui, he entered and said:

"Jingyi."

Lan Jingyi looked at him with anger, Lan Sizhui asked:

"Jingyi what happened?"

Lan Jingyi suddenly stood up, walked towards Lan Sizhui, pushed him away and shouted:

"GET OUT!"

Lan Sizhui was shocked and he said:

"Jingyi, we can talk, no need to be violent."

Lan Jingyi shouted again:

"GET OUT A-YUAN, YOU REMEMBER NOTHING, YOU USED TO CALL ME A-YI! GET OUT!"

Lan Sizhui was shocked, he left Lan Jingyi's room and started waking towards Lengshi with fast steps. Lan Sizhui knocked on the door. Lan Xichen said:

"Come in."

Lan Sizhui opened the door and entered, he saw that both Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji were there, he said:

"Zewu-Jun, Hanguang-Jun it is Jingyi. He shouted at me and pushed me away, he can't calm down."

Both Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji stood up and rushed to Lan Jingyi's room, Lan Sizhui was also following them. Once they arrived at the door they could hear the screams and things getting broken inside the room, Lan Xichen opened the door and entered, he said:

"A-Yi!"

Lan Jingyi screamed and looked at Lan Xichen with tears he shouted:

"MY MOM IS GONE, MY FRIEND IS HERE YET I MISS HOW IT USED TO BE, WHY DO I KEEP LOSING MY LOVED ONES?!"

Lan Xichen approached him and hugged him, he rubbed his back and said:

"A-Yi, you have me, Wangji, your siblings A-Zhu and A-Yu."

Lan Jingyi said crying:

"Dad, I know but... It hurts so much, it hurts!"

Lan Xichen kept rubbing his back. Lan Jingyi's legs gave up. Lan Xichen held him and worriedly said:

"A-Yi!"

Lan Xichen carried him to the bed and caressed his head, he looked at Lan Sizhui and said:

"Sizhui, don't take it to your heart."

Lan Sizhui smiled and said:

"Zewu-Jun, no worries, I didn't take it to the heart. He told me that I used to call him A-Yi, is that true?"

Lan Xichen took a deep breath and nodded. Lan Sizhui looked at his friend who was laying on the bed. Lan Xichen said:

"Let him rest, you will set off to the Mo Village in three days, he will be fine by then, this isn't the first time A-Yi had such an attack."
