When Wei Wuxian entered the Jinghshi, it was very quiet. Well, it had never been loud but Wei Wuxian did not know why but this silence made him feel strange. Very strange and uncomfortable.
With careful and long steps, he walked in. His heart felt very heavy with each and every step that he took and he inhaled sharply, trying to calm himself.
Wei Wuxian rounded over the partition and found Lan Wangji sleeping deeply.
No one would believe if he said out that Lan Wangji slept during day time. That he napped during unusual times. Because it was not Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji never used to sleep except during the sleep hours but Wei Wuxian knew better.
Pregnancy was not easy. Even if his husband was one of the most renowned cultivators, it was still hard. Lan Wangji got exhausted very easily. He physical appearance was not as sharp as before. He was somewhat fat and adding the belly to his weight, Lan Wangji found it hard to do things as before. Well, it was hard but Wei Wuxian knew that he loved it.
He loved this pregnancy!
Wei Wuxian scanned Lan Wangji's handsome face and realized that his husband did not look as if he was sleeping peacefully. His brows were knitted and hands were clenched, seeming as if he was having a nightmare.
Well, having someone like him as their husband was itself a nightmare, Wei Wuxian thought.
The sight of his husband on such a sleep made Wei Wuxian's heart ache even more.
He sat by the end of the bed and took Lan Wangji's feet in his hands. It was swollen. Very swollen. May be Lan Wangji really had helped his brother to prepare the arrangements for the Wen remnants.
Wei Wuxian placed Lan Wangji's both feet on his lap and gazed at it for some time. He then bent down and kissed Lan Wangji's toes. He thumbed Lan Wangji's skin for some time before kidding Lan Wangji's feet again.
It was all red and swollen and Wei Wuxian's heart trembled.
Lan Wangji could have chosen not to give birth to his child. He could chosen otherwise. He was the Second Master Lan. He was HanGuang-Jun! Peaple would look down on him when the rumor spreads that was pregnant. Such a strong cultivator spreading legs for someone low as him! People should have really spoken such vulgar nonsense but Lan Wangji had turned a deaf ear on them.
Just because of him! Just for him!
Lan Wangji had done so many things for him. They were uncountable. His love was so true that even Wei Wuxian found it himself to be undeserving.
Wei Wuxian never thought that one day, he would have his own family. Well, he indeed dreamt if a family but he was not sure if someone would marry him given his background.
Rumours said that his mother had a complicated relationship with Uncle Jiang and even if it was not true, he was still a son of a servant. It was impossible for the main clan disciples to marry him. He thought that someday, if anyone found him to be appealing to have a life with him, then he cold marry and he prepared himself to marry a rogue cultivator or a non-cultivator.
What he did not expect was, marrying a main clan member, that too, the sect heir.
He never thought that he would marry Lan Wangji of all the people. No, to be precise, he never thought that Lan Wangji would ever marry him.
And even if it was kind of forced, they still married. If Lan Wangji had wanted, he could have asked Wei Wuxian to live in separate quarters. He could have asked to live separately. But no, he had not done that. Lan Wangji had given him the respect and prestige that should be a given to a main family member. Lan Wangji had not disrespected him any time nor had he ever let anyone disrespect his husband.
He had always held him high, as if Wei Wuxian was on a higher status than him and as if he deserved it.
Ever since their marriage, Wei Wuxian had seen a, new Lan Wangji who had wanted him as a husband and had wanted to have a family with him.
And he indeed have been true to his actions for now, he was carrying their baby! Their blood!
But what had he done in return?! He had done nothing but hurt Lan Wangji!
'For fuck's sake why do you have to be so boring, Lan Zhan?' His words echoed in him
Wei WuXian's eyes stung with tears.
He could remember how Lan Wangji had looked all hurt and broken. Lan Wangji had never looked so miserable. For the first time, Wei Wuxian saw that side of his husband. And, he was the only reason for it!
If it was any other time, Wei Wuxian would have stabbed himself and let him bleed in pain. He would have hurt himself so much that he would never imagine hurting Lan Wangji.
But he could not. He knew Lan Wangji would be more than angry if he ever did that. Lan Wangji would never forgive him for hurting himself!
Lan Wangji's toe curled and Wei Wuxian looked yo to see Lan Wangji stirring from his sleep. Oh, he had woken up Lan Wangji and then he looked down to see his tears on Lan Wangji's feet.
Shit, he had ruined Lan Wangji's sleep. Not only had he ruined his husband's happiness but also his sleep!
Wei WuXian's eyes were blurred and he wiped them away harshly, making a sniffling sound and when his eyes were clear, he saw Lan Wangji looking down at him.
"...Wei... Wei Ying...?" Lan Wangji called out before pulling away his feet from Wei Wuxian's grasp and sitting up hurriedly.
"Lan Zhan, careful..." Wei Wuxian cried but he was too late for Lan Wangji had already sat up.
"Why did you get up? You could have slept some more." Wei Wuxian said, trying not to sound crying but he could not help it.
"I have asked brother to arrange another residence for you." Lan Wangji said, gazing straight ahead.
"What?" Wei Wuxian asked, fearing that he would have just misheard it.
But when Lan Wangji looked at him with those deep blue eyes and repeated the words again, louder this time, Wei Wuxian felt his world crashing down.
"I have asked brother to arrange another residence for you."
