Lan Wangji

It's the Binding Day and few hours from now, I'm gonna be another widow of Gusu like my aunty. I haven't slept in the past few days, I kept wondering how my life ended up here? Where did I go wrong? Only if I didn't fight with father.......and many other things. I stood up from the cold floor where I have been sitting god knows how long, and walked to my aunt's room. I opened her cupboard, it's all white as I remember, she haven't even kept one different colour, not even for a memory. I ran my fingers through her clothes, I used to do it when I was a kid and would always tell her how soft her dresses were and how beautiful she looked in white. I was too young to know back then, now I feel it. Taking out one dress and placed it closer to my body. I smiled pitying myself, white did suit me well.....I miss my mother. What would she have done if she was here? I heard a voice from outside the room, my eyes were already puffed up plus the tears which were rolling down again didn't help at all. 

"Wangji" Xingchen opened the door with a bright smile "Oh god, look at you." he hugged me tight and I noticed aunty too standing behind him smiling. As he released me, noticing my confused look Xingchen said "You are getting married."

Married? Wait...What? How? With whom? 

I was in a trance state the whole time, just doing what I was told and nothing more. Before I could process it, the priest had already pronounced us husbands. 



Everyone gathered in the shrine for the marriage

Everyone gathered in the shrine for the marriage. The villagers who were being rude and adding fuel to the fire were all calm and kind now, they have gone back to their peaceful self. All the close ones were shocked to hear Wei Wuxian had agreed, Wen Qing tried to explain the situation to them as well as she could and then they didn't know what to say. At the end, it's his decision, it's his marriage, he is an adult and he knows what he is doing ya? 

Among them was one person fuming with rage, clenching his fist, someone who did think Wuxian is an adult but knew well that he has no idea what he was getting himself into. He was surprisingly quiet when he heard the news and Wuxian was avoiding his gaze the most. Jiang Cheng was looking at everyone as if he was gonna throw punches at them the next second, it seemed like he might burst with anger the longer he stayed there and Wen Qing had to put her hand around his arm, literally holding him tight until the end of the ceremony. If eyes could kill, everyone there would have been dead by then. 


Wuxian was looking down at the couple necklace he was asked to wear in the ceremony. It was like a wedding ring, but a necklace which he was supposed to wear till the end of his married life with Wangji.
