Luo Wuxian heard a groan and looked at the bed to see Lan Wangji was waking up.

Lan Wangji fluttered his eyes open as his eyes were beginning to get used to the light of the room.

"Are you okay Lan Zhan?" Luo Wuxian's voice made him sit up immediately...but that was a mistake as he made his headache worse and he groaned again.

"Don't sit up directly! Go lay back down." Luo Wuxian said letting Lan Wangji lay back down.

"Is it really you?" Lan Wangji asked and he was quite surprised to hear his voice.

"Yes it's me. Sorry about tricking you." Luo Wuxian said.

Lan Wangji didn't respond.

"Where are we?" Lan Wangji asked, before he began to cough because of his throat being sore.

"We're in my Baba's peak. Qing Jin Peak." Luo Wuxian said.

"How long was I out?" Lan Wangji asked.

"2 hours." Luo Wuxian responded now pouring water into a cup and giving it to Lan Wangji.

"Thank you." Lan Wangji said accepting the cup and drinking the water.

"Anything for you." Luo Wuxian smiled that made Lan Wangji's ears red.

°°°°°°°°°°

Lan Wangji walked around the peak when he finally escaped Luo Wuxian's careful eyes. It has been 2 days since him and some other disciples arrived at Qing Jin Peak and Luo Wuxian has been nothing but overprotective of him.

"A-Ying, calm down. I'm sure Second Young Master Lan is just walking around the Peak"

Lan Wangji heard a calm voice as he followed the sound. He saw Luo Wuxian pouting while his head was resting on a man's lap. Lan Wangji felt a surge of jealousy but was surprised at what he heard next.

"But Baba! What if he got in trouble? What if-

"A-Ying! Stop being like your A-Die! Now, go and find him so you'll be at ease."

Shen Qingqiu said. Luo Wuxian pouted again. Lan Wangji felt embarrassed by feeling jealous about the father-son relationship as he decided to leave but when he turned around, he bumped into someone. Lan Wangji bowed to apologize.

"I apologize for not looking at where I was going"

Lan Wangji said as he looked up to find a man dressed in black and red robes with a mark on his forehead. He was smiling down at him.

"It's fine! No need to bow haha! You must be Second Young Master Lan! You know, A-Ying always talks about you! Why are you hiding here? Come and let's go see what A-Ying and my Shizun are up to!"

The man in question who Lan Wangji already assumed was probably related to Luo Wuxian had dragged him in view. Luo Wuxian's eyes sparkled when he saw Lan Wangji as did the man when he saw Shen Qingqiu.

"Binghe?"

Shen Qingqiu called as the man was immediately on his side, replacing Luo Wuxian who was already standing up and making his way to Lan Wangji.

"You're safe! I thought something happened to you!"

Luo Wuxian said as he pulled Lan Wangji into a hug for which the shorter one didn't know how to respond. Luo Wuxian noticed when Lan Wangji tensed up as he chuckled and pulled away.

"Baba, A-Die. Me and Lan Zhan are leaving now"

Luo Wuxian said and before Shen Qingqiu could respond, he had already dragged Lan Wangji away.

"Aishh that kid is definitely yours."
"Who else would it be Shizun?"

------

"Yep! This is where I was born, this place got attacked when me and my were just kids and we got separated during the evacuation and I ended up in the Jiang Sect!"

Luo Wuxian explained that while Lan Wangji only listened, they were sitting near a pond to relax, in Lan Wangji's case, to meditate. But the first 5 minutes, Luo Wuxian had begun to talk so Lan Wangji gave up on meditating and just listened to what Luo Wuxian was saying.

"Wuxian!"

A voice called as they turned their heads and saw Jiang Wanyin and Nie Huaisang walking towards them.

"Jiang Cheng! Huaisang! Good to see you here!"

Luo Wuxian said as Jiang Cheng sighed as he pulled out a scroll from his sleeve.

"Gusu Lan got attacked and was burned down. Yunmeng Jiang is next"

Jiang Wanyin informed as Luo Wuxian snatched the scroll from Jiang Wanyin.

"Gusu...?"

Lan Wangji repeated as Nie Huaisang nodded closing his fan.

"I'm so sorry Wangji-Ge, but Er-ge escaped! Da-Ge said so in the letter that Er-ge is in the Nie Sect."

Nie Huaisang said that made Lan Wangji relaxed a little and released the breath that he didn't even know he was holding.

Luo Wuxian put a hand on Lan Wangji's shoulders as Lan Wangji looked at him.

"It's gonna be fine Lan Zhan."

---

"If you're going then I am too."

"No! If you're gonna go then I won't be able to protect you!"

"I don't need protection, Luo Ying. I can defend myself."

"But I can't lose you!"

"So you're okay with it if you'll lose Jiang Wanyin and not me?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"Because I Love You!"

...

Everything stopped. It was like time itself was frozen. Lan Wangji stared at Luo Wuxian with wide eyes as Luo Wuxian looked at him as if he was pleading Lan Wangji not to go.

They had discussed it already. Luo Wuxian would go with Jiang Wanyin back to Yunmeng to warn Madam Yu and Jiang Fengmian. Lan Wangji was angry that Luo Wuxian wouldn't let him go with them and they had argued...that led them to their situation.

"You're too special to me Lan Zhan and I can't lose you.."

Luo Wuxian admitted out loud as Lan Wangji still stared at him as his ears started to turn red as he finally diverted his gaze away from Luo Wuxian.

Lan Wangji didn't say anything, instead he turned his back and left, leaving Luo Wuxian alone who looked down on the ground.
