Wei Wuxian had made a big mistake. Did he really regret his promise, or the kiss he just gave to Lan Wangji? No, not entirely. But the fact that he completely fed their bond it's own delicious meal of intimacy, is what bothered him the most. The knot that was shredding its threads loose, had completely repaired again. As he watched the Lan leave his domain, his mind was just mentally cursing at himself. The point of keeping this distance, was so that he could keep Wangji away from the chaos that was sure to follow him 'til death. But now he himself had dragged him back into harms way with just that small kiss. Even when he sat with the Wen remnants and shared a large feast with them his mind continued to wander to his mate. He just couldn't get the action he took out of his mind. As the meal came to an end leaving him with Wen Qing to talk to he was taking down several cups of homemade wine. Usually he could handle his alcohol very well, but this time he was slightly a bit intoxicated.

"To think you'd be this drunk....don't you have a strong tolerance?" She asks him.

He chuckles lightly, "Perhaps..."

"You seem a bit more tense than usual is something on your mind?"

"...."

For a moment he doesn't say anything, but then gives up and sighs loudly just as he swallows another bowl of wine. She sucks at her teeth and takes the bowl and wine away from him.

"You shouldn't drink so much of this." She scolds as Wei Wuxian's cheeks flamed up with some bright pink colors. Clearly, he was slightly intoxicated.

"Ah, don't worry don't worry. My tolerance is pretty good."

"Hmph....are you bothered by Lan Wangji being here...?"

He sits up and leans on his hand.

"Lan Zhan....well I can't really tell what I will do..."

"Hm?"

"Wen Qing....Lan Zhan and I made a promise. It was me who sealed that promise with a kiss...."

"......."

"I didn't intend for that to happen. But he asked about why my spiritual power was low....if I didn't do something....the bond would suddenly drop again. As much as I distance myself, I honestly don't want that to happen. I promised I would tell him the reason why. And it made the bond strengthen by just that kiss....with no struggle. But....he won't come back here...and I know he won't..."

"And if he does...?"

"It's too much of a risk.....I don't want him coming back here and disappointing his clan. He'll be punished for sure. And he knows I don't want him here. Lan Zhan is someone who will respect my wishes even if it doesn't benefit him....."

"You're taking advantage of that...."

"Regrettably I am..."

"To think you both seemed as if you hated the other for so long...and now things are like this..."

Wei Wuxian chuckles and gently stares at the table, "We've never really hated each other. After all, we studied together....and faced life and death together. We fought together during the war as well....and while our views have clashed, we never ever hated each other. Especially when we both confirmed our bond..."

"Do you love him...?"

Wei Wuxian turns to her with a gaze that she had never seen before. A gaze that was filled with an expression of fondness. Tenderness. Gentleness. And a bit of yearning.
