Lan Zhan gently picked Wei Ying up in his arms and walked toward his room. Outside, Jiang Cheng and Nie Huisang were standing.

“Huh? What happened to him?” Jiang Cheng asked worriedly.

“Nothing,” Lan Zhan replied softly, eyes never leaving Wei Ying’s sleeping face. “He just fell asleep.”

“Oh,” Huisang chuckled lightly. “He was saying he couldn’t sleep, and now look at him...sleeping like this.” He shook his head fondly. “Let’s get him settled properly.”

Lan Zhan entered the room and carefully laid Wei Ying on the bed. He adjusted the pillows, pulled the blanket over him, and tucked him in gently. Then he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to Wei Ying’s forehead.

“I’m here,” he whispered.

Lan Zhan went to the washroom to freshen up. Originally, he had planned to surprise Wei Ying with something special.....something he had prepared just for him. But Wei Ying had fallen asleep the moment he hugged him.

As the water ran, Lan Zhan recalled Huisang’s words from earlier.....Wei Ying couldn’t sleep.

That meant only one thing.

He was missing me.

Lan Zhan’s chest tightened slightly at the thought. He wanted the surprise to be perfect....something that would make Wei Ying smile without worries.

After his shower, Lan Zhan got dressed and picked up his phone. Stepping onto the balcony, he dialed a number and spoke quietly, explaining everything in a calm, firm voice.

Once done, he returned to the room where Wei Ying slept peacefully.
Just as he was about to lie down, there was a knock.

Lan Zhan opened the door to find Nie Huisang standing there, smiling sheepishly.

“I came to take my belongings from the room,” Huisang said.

After collecting his things, Huisang turned back, hesitating for a moment before speaking again.

“Um… Mr. Lan,” he said softly, “please don’t be upset with him. My friend has some… weird ideas and tends to experiment on people, but his intentions are always good. Even coming here and spending time..he had a reason. Sometimes it’s just his childish side.”

Lan Zhan listened silently.

“I’ve seen him,” Huisang continued. “Even when he doesn’t show it, he was missing you badly. He was upset when he heard everyone came here but you didn’t. He didn’t say it out loud, but it was bothering him.”

“He just wants your love… and to be your priority,” Huisang said gently. “Because you’re his priority too.”

Lan Zhan turned his gaze toward the sleeping figure on the bed, his expression softening even more.

“I know,” Lan Zhan replied quietly. “And trust me, Huisang..he is my priority. I understand him. My bun may seem childish, but he’s very mature in his own way.”

He looked back at Huisang with sincerity.

“So rest assured. He’s safe with me. And thank you...for being the kind of best friend who understands him this well.”

Huisang smiled, relieved, and nodded before leaving them alone.

Lan Zhan closed the door, walked back to the bed, and lay beside Wei Ying, gently pulling him closer.

“This time,” he whispered, brushing a strand of hair from Wei Ying’s face,
“I won’t make you miss me again.”
