Another day has passed and the sky is colored with the sunset. It was a blissful day, subtle yet warm.

"Lan Zhan! Do you want to watch the fireworks?!" Wei Wuxian happily asked as he throttled towards Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji, in returned snakes his arms over Wei Wuxian's waist protectively, letting the troublemaker nuzzle his jaw.

It was already three weeks when Lan Wangji broke his engagement to Feng An. His brother was very supportive of his blooming love, though a hint of worry falls in his eyes.

He was stark—shock by Lan Wangji's declaration that he wanted to break the engagement and told him, their family his decision. Surprisingly, they did not expect Lan Qiren to agree. However, the word, happiness laid openly expressed. It may be a sad ending, but Lan Xichen knew that his Wangji will not regret it.

It was one afternoon when Lan Qiren himself opened the topic to Wei Wuxian. The conversation was rather relaxed and comfortable, however, the truth would still hurt so much.

"A-Xian... Wangji broke his engagement to be with you..." Lan Qiren broke the news.

Wei Wuxian did not speak as he smiled reassuringly, "let me tell him the truth uncle..."

The request was rather simple. But it was a wise decision. For them to be happy, a single sacrifice must be made in exchange for few moments together.

"I am dying Uncle Lan... That's why... Please... Let me do it... Let me tell Lan Zhan myself..." Wei Wuxian said, "if someone needs to hurt him with the truth, I'd rather be the one to do it... After all... Made this selfish request myself..."

Lan Qiren nodded in response. Lan Tian and Lam Xichen just sighed.

"I am thankful... That you allowed me to have this selfish request.." Wei Wuxian kowtows, "I am forever in your debt for this happiness."

Wen Zhuliu also bowed, as the guardian present he is also thankful for them. Since Wei Wuxian is a child, he had been so selfless, so kind, so true, that even he cannot dare himself hurt him. Wei Wuxian's decision surprised him that he eventually agreed, especially after he saw how bright Wei Wuxian's smiled was.

He could not ask for more for his happiness.

"An! Please don't do this!" Feng An's mother shouted on the other side of the door.

But Feng An just remained in her room, keeping herself away from everyone. She hates them to the core that she refused to meet them.

Was she wrong to love so much?

Is she wrong to have these feelings for a man?

She just loves right? Selfishly in love.

She threw her furniture and cried, shouting every curse she could say.

Until she finally, broke her mirror. She glanced at herself disheveled and worn out. Stare at her pitiful appearance. Taking a shard of the broken mirror. She took her phone and dialed Lan Wangji's number.

"Wangji... Come here... Come to me... If not... I will die..."
------------------------------------------------------------

Wei Wuxian, "Lan Zhan... Can we... Talk?"

Lan Wangji sat upright and welcomed Wei Wuxian's presence beside him.

"What is it?"

"Lan Zhan... I... You know... I have something to tell you very important—"

*Phone rings*

Lan Wangji received the call. He answered for a while signaling Wei Wuxian later which the latter responded with a nod. He listened to choked desperation. Yet... He chose to ignore it and replied, "please don't hurt yourself anymore... We have nothing between us..."
