My Cloud and My Lotus

Chapter 9: Realizing

Lan Wangji walked up to them but stopped, Wei Wuxian turned around to Lan Wangji.

F. WWX: Lan Zhan?

F.LWJ: Wei Ying....

Wei Wuxian turned around at Lan Sizhui's back his eyes immediately widen when he saw Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen infront of them. People from the past raised there eyebrows, why they looked so shock to see Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen.

P.WWX: Why do you guys looked so shock seeing Zewu-jun and A-Cheng?

Wei Wuxian and ran towards jiang Cheng and hugged him, as Lan Wangji was infront of his brother.

P.LXC: You really did grew well and tall, Wangji.

Lan Xichen said with a smile, Lan Wangji remembered the last time his brother smiled at him was before the Guanyin Temple had occurred.

F.WWX: Why don't you guys, get some rest it must be very tiring Hm?

Wei Wuxian offers, the rest agreed as it was really been a long time since they got a proper rest, the juniors lead them to there designated room, Lan Xichen was kinda surprised as he was told to stay at the Hanshi must be were his Future self be.

As Lan Jangyi opens the door of the Hanshi, it was different than his, there were some accessories that he never seen before, and they were mostly lotus flowers. 'Interesting' Lan Xichen thought inside his head, as he looked around when Lan Jingyi spoke.

LJY: You future self is not here, so it is alright for you to stay here. Plus it is your room after all.

Lan Jingyi said as he bowed and left the Hanshi, and went away. Lan Xichen looked around the room and saw some beautiful letters on the side of the bed, they were written very beautifully but upon realizing it, it was a poem for someone. It wasn't just a poem, it had a mix of grief and sorrow and guilt, Lan Xichen thought 'What a weird way to make a peom about sorrow and guilt, I'm starting to feel bad for my future self.'is okthought and looked at some other pieces of papers, all of them were completely the same, but one particular thing that caught his attention.

A box having Lotus flowers engraved in it, Lan Xichen got up from his bed and walked towards the box, but surprisingly it was lock. 'Of course it is lock, to protect what it is inside, nice thought future me.' Xichen smiled with a small chuckle. He looked one of the drawers and found a key, he took the key and tried it on the box and it surprisingly opened, but to his surprise was just more letters from Jiang Sect, Lan Xichen took one letter on the the top, being it to be the last and first letters he saw.

The letter was more likely a love letter from.... 'Jiang Wanyin....' the contents of the letter was beautiful as it gives of passion and pure love with words. He then took another letter that was also another love letter for him, 'This must be Very important to my future self that he placed all of his letter's inside a box to keep it safe.' Lan Xichen never had thought his future self would be inlove with Jiang Wanyin an angered Lotus of Yunmeng Jiang.

Lan Xichen, was amazed on how it was written by Jiang Wanyin imagine being that inlove. Lan Xichen starts to thought on how he or his future self would respond to these letters. In there time line they barely even talked to one another, as he is busy with his own life as well as the younger.

Lan Xichen placed the letters back to there original place and closed the box, putting the key were he had found it in the first place, he looked at his window to see a lake that has Lotus flowers on them flowing around, it is very hard to plant Lotus flowers here as it is more likely to be cold everyday at Gusu Lan.

Lan Xichen decided to look around at Cloud recesses to see how much it had changed through out the years, he left his Hanshi and started to walk around the place, everyone looked suprise seeing him. 'Why do they look suprised?' He thought inside his head, but continue walking until he spotted someone who went to the side, he followed the man, and seeing it was Lan Jingyi his supposed to be 'son'. He followed the junior to a place were it was majestic a temple, it is were all there love once we're buried. 'But why here?' He thought but still followed the younger inside.

He saw the younger was praying, 'I wonder who is he praying to the ancestors for?' He had thought to himself, when the younger starts to speak.

LJY: A-die I know you are there.

Jingyi spoke as he got up after praying to his parents he turned around.

LJY: Why are you here?

He asked Lan Xichen who was suprised he found him. He then smiled at Jingyi who looked more likely sad.

P.LXC: May I ask who are you praying for?

LJY: You and A-niang.

Lan Xichen raised an o,, n  for his response, he then spoke up.

LJY: Wondering why?

P.LXC: Yes?

LJY: Because you are Dead.

Lan Xichen eyes widen as Jingyi said he was 'Dead' He thought to himself, he didn't know how to respond to it... 'I am dead.... leaving my son and...' Lan Xichen's thoughts were stopped when Jingyi spoke again.

LJY: Both of you are.

P.LXC: Both of us? Why?

LJY: A-niang, both of you are dead.

Lan Xichen looked down, him and his other half died leaving a child behind, 'Why? what even happened resulting to my death... and his?' He thought in his head.

LJY: Well, it is better to let everyone know not just you... also A-niang deserves to know.

Lan Jingyi said as he walked passed his Father, Lan Xichen then spoke before Jingyi was far.

P.LXC: What happened to us in the future...?

LJY: it is better for everyone to know.
