In the morning, Lan Wangji helped his husband into the bath, tend his wound, and dress him before meeting up with everyone in the screening room. Before the memories started back up, everyone was to eat first. Being so used to the Lan Sect's no talking while dining rule, Wei Wuxian ate in silence. Those who had always known Wei Wuxian to be a chatterbox, were shocked to see him so silent. They were not in Cloud Recesses, but he still followed that rule, almost as it was now engraved into his mind.

Wei Wuxian looked up at everyone who was staring at him as he swallowed a bite of food, "huh?" He asked confused looking at the others staring at him in disbelief. He then looked at Lan Wangji, "is there something on my face?"

Lan Wangji shook his head, "there is not," He said.

"Why are you all staring at me?" He asked.

"Because you are so quiet," Jiang Yanli told him, "normally you talk so much, even while eating."

"Not while eating," Wei Wuxian said shaking his head.

"He is a Lan now Jie, remember that," Jiang Cheng reminded.

"So?" She questioned.

"Lan's have a rule for their sect, no talking while dining," Jiang Cheng told her.

"They are not in Cloud Recesses though," Yanli stated, "it's so strange seeing him this quiet and obedient. Is my XianXian still in there?"

"XianXian grew up a little," Wei Wuxian teased.

"Oh, are you not three?" Yanli asked.

"No, XianXian is four," Wei Wuxian played.

Everyone laughed, "wow, you grew so much, XianXian," Yanli teased.

"I can feed myself now," Wei Wuxian continued to play. Lan Wangji couldn't handle his husband being that cute anymore and started to laugh a little. Wei Wuxian looked at him, "making husband, Lan Zhan laugh today. Done."

"You make it seem like it's a daily goal of yours," Lan Xichen said.

"It can be, he has a cute laugh," Wei Wuxian stated.

"Didi, did you hear that?" Lan Xichen teased.

"I did," Lan Wangji said as his ears started to turn red.

"Alright, is everyone good to start?" Baoshan asked.

"Yes," Wei Wuxian said, "we are in for a treat with Lan Zhan being drunk again."

"Shameless," Lan Wangji said picking his husband up and sitting over on the couch with him in his lap.

After he summoned Wen Ning, Wei Wuxian's state of mind was somewhat confused, so it was hard for him to be continuously alert. And, if Lan Wangji didn't want someone to notice his arrival, he could do it without any difficulty. Thus, as he turned around and saw the even colder face under the moonlight, his heart almost skipped a beat.

He didn't know how long Lan Wangji had been here for or if he had seen and heard what he was doing. If Lan Wangji had never been drunk in the beginning and followed him all the way here, the situation would be even more awkward, especially with him not saying anything to Lan Wangji's face and sneaking out to summon Wen Ning after Lan Wangji fell asleep.

"Ahh ha, Lan Zhan, you're awake," Wei Wuxian said, trying to stay calm.

Lan Wangji crossed his arms in front of him and held Bichen in them. His expression was particularly stiff. Wei Wuxian had never seen him with such an obviously displeased expression on his face before.
