Who You Are Book 2

Chapter 41 - Song of Clarity

((Just a reminder, I said in the first book but I will write it here as well, In the book MDZS Wei Wuxian was in Mo Xuanyu's body. I am going with the show The Untamed, where Wei Wuxian was back in his normal body. It was probably said in the show he was technically in Mo's body, but I just like Wei Wuxian's body a bit more.))

"Wei Ying, come back to Gusu with me," Wei Wuxian was dreaming.

"Why?" Wei Wuxian asked, "why do you insist on taking me back? To imprison me? Your sect hates cultivators like me."

Lan Wangji lower his head, "very well," he said and started to walk away. Wei Wuxian's dream seemed so real. Lan Wangji constantly kept trying and asking to get Wei Wuxian to go to Gusu with him.

"I just want to protect you," Lan Wangji whispered and left Wei Wuxian standing in a dark and lonely room.

Wei Wuxian suddenly murmured, "... Lan Zhan."

"Lan Zhan!" Wei Wuxian's body jolted in a delirious state from a dream, grabbing one of Lan Wangji's sleeves.

Lan Wangji had always been beside him as he immediately bent down and whispered, "I am here."

Wei Wuxian felt a bit panicked, his eyes clenched shut, and his body was covered in sweat, yet his hand never let go of Lan Wangji.

He began muttering, "... Don't... Don't be angry..."

Lan Wangji seemed somewhat surprised. His voice was gentle, "I am not angry."

Lan Wangji was trying to soothe Wei Wuxian and calm him down from his dream.

Wei Wuxian"...Oh."

Hearing this, as though he finally felt assured, his fingers loosened, trying to relax himself. Lan Wangji sat beside Wei Wuxian for a while. Seeing that he was motionless again, he was about to stand up when Wei Wuxian grabbed him with his other hand, hugging his arm and refusing to let go.

He shouted, "I'll go with you, quick, take me back to your sect!"

Lan Wangji widened his eyes. After he shouted, Wei Wuxian seemed to have shouted himself awake. His long lashes trembled before he slowly opened his eyes. After his sight finally went from blurred to clear, he suddenly realized that both of his hands were wrapped around Lan Wangji as though he was grasping a straw, clutching a floating piece of wood within water.

He immediately let go, almost wanting to roll away. His movement was so large that it hurt the wound at his stomach. He exclaimed an 'ah' as he scrunched his brows, finally remembering that he was still injured. Amid the stars before his eyes, Jing Ling, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yanli, Jiang Fengmian, Madam Yu... Many faces spun around in a large circle.

Lan Wangji held him down, "The wound at your stomach?"

Wei Wuxian, "The wound? It's fine, it doesn't hurt..."

...

"Didn't hurt? Then why did you whine in pain a couple seconds before he asked?" Lan Xichen asked somewhat playfully.

"Okay, I get it, I get it, I need to be more outspoken about my pain," Wei Wuxian said admitting defeat.

Lan Wangji chuckled, "you can't hide anything from me anymore anyway."

"That is...so true," Wei Wuxian agreed.

...

After Lan Wangji settled him down, he lifted his clothes. Wei Wuxian's stomach had been bandaged properly already. After the bandages had been peeled away, he could see that the wound had healed. On his legs, the curse mark had disappeared as well.
