Dear Wei,

Dear Wei,

I dreamt of us again. You by my side and promising me, a forever. I was the happiest, until I opened my eyes.

Can I reveal a secret?

I quite like the taste of the Emperor's Smile now. I am unable to comprehend the reason but I always land up buying two jars.

Everynight, I bring them to Jingshi, one jar I consume and the other I hide them beneath. I am saving the best tastes for you. It dawn's on me that maybe this soul hopes for you to come back and that one day I can fulfill my desire to pour you a cup, oh but what a fool I am to dream this beautiful illusion.

You're never coming back, are you? I wish you didn't. You won't like me.

I recently heard that people are scared of me. They fear when I walk past them. The hilarious part is that now there exist no curfew for me. Now I can enter and exit Cloud Recess at my will. No rules. None at all.
What would you say to this? Oh, you would be so delirious.

Should I be too? Or does this mean people just stopped caring for me? I'll never know.

A month back, brother gave me a box, my Wei Ying. That box contains my world. You.

I am so scared of opening them again. Scared that if I do, it would be taken away from me, again, and if that happens Wei Ying, I won't survive this time.

I miss you.

Come back.

Please.

Your,
Lan Zhan.

"Hanguang-Jun" the kind spirit offers her salutation and patiently waits for my question.

"Could you find him?"

"No"

"Where do you think could he be?"

"I apologise, but I am unable to answer your question for I too am unaware" she respectfully bows. There is a hint of sadness in her voice and that breaks my heart.

"If you do find him, could you..." I am unable to complete my question. What would I want her to ask to him? Beg him to come back? Beg him to take me too?

"Hanguang-Jun?"

"You may leave" I look away as she bows and disappears.

Gently, I place the box on my lap and open it with a heavy heart. Unable to be apart even for a day longer, I carefully take out the old ribbon. Caressing the piece between my fingers, my lips tremble as I kiss my Wei Ying's band.

Knowing the meaning behind the deed, unable to care for anymore rules, I abandon everything within me and with all the love in my heart, I bring his ribbon to where my forehead band is placed. A union.

A union of two souls.

A union of two hearts.

A union of two bands.
