One Year Time Bomb

Promised Beginnings

Wei Wuxian's heart is crying. He ended up crying. What should he say? What should he do to make them smile again? What should he do to make them laugh again? It's pathetic, he knew it was. But he can't find a single word.

A love that has been looking for a place to escape ended up losing the real place. In this room... His room... Where the rain endlessly falls.

He could only watch them cry for him.

He wanted to say don't cry, but the warm embrace of his family was what made him cry. Embracing them, and because of that, they have become wet. Wet of those endless tears and words of encouragement. He did not even know how to react, for it was new...

Looking back at his wishes together and the different future. In chasing, he had no other choice but to be hurt. The day he met love, treasured by even calling it 'happiness', now their smiles ending up getting wet.

It's maddening how many times they are going through this. Sadness is slipping—crawling on their lips.

After all, he has been through, he's still here to stay... Time goes by...

Time goes by

What he has been doing this without turning back. He is making his way, breaking away from them. But how can he? Now that they are clinging to him.

"Don't cry." He said, "I am fine..."

He had let go of his youth so that he could chase the dreams that he dreamed as a young boy. Holding onto every chance he got.. he is happy. He is content.

With all his dreams and hopes he had. He held his head high up and never looked down.

He had done his best. Made the best of his life.

He had the chance to see the boy he used to follow. He had gotten to the place where he longed for. It did not matter near or far.

Smiling at them, he was happy, "can I make... Selfish requests?"

After all, he has been through, he is still here to stay... Time goes by... And he will never stop

It's nothing to be proud of. Even as the days got much tougher, nights got much longer and colder. He would smile and laugh of tomorrow, to his sorrow and express his happiness.

He had lived a fulfilling life.

"I want to eat... Jiejie's pork rib and lotus soup.."

For each of them, he will make it memorable.

"I want Cheng-gege to recite my poetry."

For each of them, he'll pray his songs for them.

"I want to drink Auntie Qing's bitter soup."

He wants to etch these memories into his mind.

"Have Uncle Ning to give me flowers."

To fight fate.

"Grandpa and grandma held my hands.."

To live a life he has blessed it.

"For Aunt Yu and Uncle Feng give me their treasure lotuses..."

This life he thanked the gods for making him so happy.

"For my parents to make my siblings..." He smiled as he reached for them, "so for when I am gone..."

No matter what it takes... He'll still be laughing.

"You won't think about me.."

Lan Wangji just watched them. Wei Ying had made no wish to ask of him. He silently stayed at a corner, hugging their son tightly.
