Once in a million,
You'll find a soul,
Happy as they are,
To be a part of an,
Unrequited love.

They live in silence,
love is pure,
Untainted by the world,
They so live on.

As we enter Cloud Recess, brother bids us well and proceeds towards his chamber. Tired and they were, even the kids proceed quietly towards their abode.

"Lan Zhan" Wei whispers "I am feeling sleepy" he leans against my shoulders and I smile.

"Do you want me to carry you?" I enquire and he nods. Surprised at his quick submission, I carry him in my arms. Not paying attention to some of the onlookers, I carry him back to Jingshi as he settles comfortably against my chest.

I find WuJi waiting for us at the steps of Jingshi and I smile. Entering my bed chamber, they follow as I place him gently on the bed and tuck Wei under the soft blankets. It surprises me, when they hop on and rest their body against Wei's chest.

Leaving him behind, inside the safety of Jingshi, I walk towards the vast expanse of Cloud Recess, when my steps halt at the sight of her, Lady Zhi Ruo.

Something in her eyes disturb me and her smile is that of one which I am accustomed to feeling.

Finality.

Walking towards her, I light bow "Lady Zhi Ruo" and her smile widens.

"I heard your back" her voice is soft "care to join me for a small walk" her eyes are kind and I nod.

Walking the trail behind the Gusu Mountains, seldom people choose this path and maybe that is why, it is serene and peaceful.

"I met ZewuJun, he informed me that you're back" she continues to caresses the wildflowers growing around us "Wangji, thank you for everything" something in her voice halts my steps. Seeing me stop, she turns to me and the setting sun glows around us.

"I remember, when I first met you, I confessed my heart" she laughs lightly "maybe if it was someone else, they would have embarrassed me further when they rejected my proposal" she looks into my eyes "but not you. Never you. Maybe that's why, I was always so comfortable around you. You have always been the same with me. I never understood back then why you were so cold with everyone, but you weren't. Not with everyone. With him, Wei Wuxian" the name she takes out, is with respect and my heart tugs "he was always special. I have observed that with him, you were always, you.".

She turns to walk and I join her "Wangji, your heart has always indeed been pure and away from worldly affairs. It's lives only for that one soul. If not him then for none" she ducks her face and then looks at me again "for these past 13 years, every moment has been for Wei Wuxian. I wish I could have met him. I wish I could have known him" her smile radiates "I am glad he's back" her comment shocks me and she chuckles.
