"Get him out here! And notify the officers Drag the insane murderer to the Main Hall and make him pay for it with his life!" An authoritative male voice was heard, coming from outside Mo Xuanyu's (Wei Wuxian) place.

Wei Wuxian was woken from his meditation from hearing the yelling. He was starting to wonder if something happened to the array formation with the Lan Sect juniors. A series of chaotic footsteps quickly approached, along with cries and screams. A few servants had already started to barge in. The whole courtyard was set alight with fire. The two strong male servants grabbed Wei Wuxian and dragged him out to the main hall. When he got there, the Lan Juniors along with others from the Mo family and workers, were seen crowded around a figure binder by ropes. Wei Wuxian was tossed to the ground with such force he almost hit his face to the floor. Though he quickly responded and turned from the Lan group.

'This is bad, what if one of them knows who Wei Wuxian is? Meaning me? I'm in my own body, not his. I didn't have time to grab my mask!' Wei Wuxian thought to himself.

...

"I didn't bring it up sooner, but why are my thoughts being heard? Those are personal?" Wei Wuxian complained.

"You will have to deal with it, sweetheart," Baoshan told him, "it makes the viewing more entertaining and interesting. They also get to know your thinking during everything that has happened."

Wei Wuxian groaned and folding his arms to his chest, "fine, but I'm not happy about it!"

"Wei Ying," Lan Zhan said poking his bottom lip that was popped out from pouting, "I know you have a cute pouting face, but don't pout."

"No," he pouted more.

Lan Zhan chuckled and leaned in to kiss his bottom lip. He then moved his lips to Wei Wuxian's jawbone. The point of the brown just under his ear. With his lips there, it soon caused Wei Ying to start giggling. Lan Zhan knows he is ticklish around that spot, especially if he were to move his lips their. It would lighten his mood immediately.

Baoshan and the others were impressed on how easily Lan Wangji could cheer up Wei Wuxian so quickly. Not just cheer him up, but give him a complete distraction to the point he has forgotten what has happened moments ago. They turned back to the screen to leave to two love-birds alone.

...

Lan Sizhui bent down to Wei Wuxian, "Mo Qianbei," he said politely helping him up off the ground, "are you alright?"

Wei Wuxian nodded, 'Who ever raised this kid did such a great job.He is so respectful to others, no matter the background. It's rare to find a member of the Lan Clan this polite.'

....

"Hey!" A good few other Lan disciples looked at Wei Wuxian who was now hidden behind Lan Wangji.

"A lot of Lan disciples back then were not that kind to me, so I'm sorry. It is just an opinion of my impression of those who I have met and haven't," Wei Wuxian said in defense, "plus, even though he is my son, he is such a polite kid. I mean, look at him. He's adorably polite."

"Baba!" Sizhui cried out a bit embarrassed, "A-Die, don't let him embarrass me like this."

"He is right, you are very polite and respectful," Lan Wangji praised, "it means I did okay raising you for sixteen years."

"You did more than okay," Lan Xichen told him, "you are a fantastic father. Wei Wuxian as well."

Wei Wuxian could feel his face get warm so he buried it in Lan Wangji's hair. Lan Wangji just nodded in acceptance.
