Wei Wuxian whistled on his way to the cold springs. The punishment was painful but nothing he couldn't handle. The real deal now was Lan Zhan.

Wei Wuxian kept himself awake, contemplating, the entire time what Lan Wangji confessed to him in his drunken stupor. He didn't want to acknowledge their bond. But why? Wei Wuxian itched to drag that fuddy-duddy alone and ask him why he did that! It's common as day for Soulmates to acknowledge a bond! It isn't even a big deal and you lose nothing! However it is a big deal if they don't acknowledge it!

Wei Wuxian was really confused. So imagine his surprise when he sees a half-naked Lan Zhan in the cold springs, healing, his eyes closed. Wei Wuxian almost whistled as he took a peak at Lan Wangji's chiseled body.

"Lan Zhan!! What a coincidence!" Wei Wuxian cheered as he stripped his upper clothes and boots by the time Lan Wangji had enough mind to stare at him expressionlessly. Tsk.

"Who let you in?" Lan Wangji hollered.

"Why,your only brother did! Who else, but the noble Zewu-Jun who pitied me enough to let me know.... Ohhhwwww.... Why is it so cold? So cold!!" Wei Wuxian hissed in displeasure as the very cold water touched his skin.

Lan Wangji could guess what his brother wanted by this act of his. He doesn't know yet. 

Wei Ying and he are not destined. 

How could he look at Wei Ying adorned in the black of Yilling Wei, and not be reminded of his mother who is still comatosed? Lan Wangji looked away. 

God was so cruel.

"Lan Zhan! Lan Zhan! Why won't you look at me!??" Wei Wuxian swam closer grinning all the while.

"I am getting out." Lan Wangji was prepared to leave when Wei Wuxian's words stopped him.

"Do you hate me?" Wei Ying sounded different,not his usual cheery self. He sounded..... Small. Vulnerable. Anxious.

Lan Wangji didn't want to answer such a ridiculous question so he wanted to get out, but...

"Do you hate me Lan Wangji?" Wei Wuxian almost shouted.

This time Lan Wangji turned to look at Wei Ying. Wei Ying's eyes were red and fist clenched.

"Wei Ying...." Lan Wangji unsurely began.

"You will not take me as your acknowledged Zhiji, right?" Wei Wuxian stared at Lan Wangji as he spoke. Lan Wangji froze and his mask stuttered. There was that crack in his expression Wei Wuxian had wanted to see ever since he met him. He never imagined this would be the situation it happened.

"You.. how..." Lan Wangji was in disbelief.

"You told me yourself yesterday. Drunk." Wei Wuxian admitted. Lan Wangji silently groaned. He knew this day would come...... Yet,he wasn't prepared.

"But why Lan Zhan? I am not saying we should become cultivation partners. Of course we can't. But we can be sworn brothers like your brother and Sect Leader Nie!" Wei Wuxian complained.

Lan Wangji's expression darkened when he heard this. Wei Ying and he don't even want the same thing. Even if the whole sect fiasco wasn't there, Lan Wangji probably couldn't bring himself to settle for anything else. He wanted Wei Ying to be his cultivation partner. He wanted him....

"Lan Zhan! Wouldn't your sect be unhappy if someone of your calibre didn't acknowledge a Thread?" Wei Wuxian was growing desperate. Surely this reason would be enough for Lan Zhan to change his mind.

"Fuqin knows. And I have already decided," Lan Wangji looked away when he saw that expression on Wei Ying's face. Wei Ying didn't deserve this. Lan Wangji had never felt more helpless before.
