Regrets Aside, You Aside

A little glimpse into the past

"Son what's wrong?"

Wangji's mother looked at her son worriedly. His father looked up from the computer on his desk and looked at his son. He was in pretty bad shape with puffy eyes, a crimson face.

"I had a nightmare."

Said Wangji in a calm tone.
His mom and dad didn't go any further and let him go about his daily prep routine.
The boredom of being watched had taken hold of him. He left the house without making some checks in order to get out of the house as soon as possible. Along the way to school, he began to look more carefully at everything he saw around him, flowers, trees.

He could not find a place that matched his dream. What was this dream?
Most importantly,
why was it hurting him? With these questions,
Wangji walked absently to the school.

"Wangji are you okay?"

Wangji looked at Wuxian with an exasperated expression.

"Since we are friends, I will call you more sincerely. How is Lanzhan?"

He forced himself to listen to the lecture. Not being able to sleep because of the strange dream made it difficult for him to understand the lesson.

Lanzhan, who was on the edge, had slipped into the dream world without even realizing it.

"If you don't put down the Wangji sword, we will put you in the same category as this demon!"

He found himself staring at the man surrounded by purple cloth with an angry expression.
He turned his back on the people and said that he would defend Wuxin to the end. Wangji was becoming increasingly uneasy with the progress of the dream. These familiar memories were hovering in his brain like a cloud.

"Wuxian..."

Wangji said in a half-asleep voice. He began to watch Wangji fall asleep, blocking the sunlight from his eyes with his hands.

When Wangji slowly opened his eyes, he saw Wuxian smiling at him. He was relieved, even delighted. Sleepyhead had somehow lowered Wuxian's hands and gently pulled them towards him. Wangji was looking at Wuxian with a serious expression. This made Wuxian laugh and started laughing,

"What's funny, I'm serious!!"

Thought Wangji had begun to take an interest in this strange boy who never let go of him both in his dreams and in real life. In the following days, he always started to be interested in Wuxian-related matters, even if he didn't express it verbally.

What does he like? What does not like? Hobbies? The books he read and more. Without even realizing it, Wangji had built a life plan for himself side by side with Wuxian.
She was on Wuxian's path while searching for the meaning of these new feelings she was feeling inside.

[Graduation day]

Wangji and Wuxian wore matching graduation gowns as an inseparable duo.

(Wangji offered) As soon as they got their report cards, the pariah, who was right next to their school, sat down and started eating their ice cream.

On the other hand, they were voicing funny memories of school."

"Remember when Lanzhan used to change corridors when you saw me. You even locked yourself in the bathroom just to avoid me... PUHAHAHA!!"

Wangji blankly stared at Wuxian. He was engrossed in Wuxian's smile.

"Lanzhan??" "...Are you okay??"

Wuxian worriedly bent down to get a better view of Lanzhan's expression.
Wangji also gently pulled Wuxian towards him with his hands and kissed him gently. He then closed his eyes, afraid that Wuxian would be angry with him.

"..."

"??"

Wuxian did not slap. He even did nothing but stare at Wangji with a red face. From that moment on, their relationship grew out of friendship.
They started to move slowly but determinedly towards the dating stage.

"Here's our company manager's love life goes back such a long time!"
One of the employees said in a low voice.

At that time, Wangji (company manager),
who had just turned 26, was delighted to listen to his own love story told from behind.

Wangji glanced at Wuxian, who was lying in his room, to see if he had woken up. After closing the door of her room with a smile, she went out to buy some gifts for their anniversary.

[What do you think Wangji should get as a gift?]
