In the ancient realm there was a soul who was known widely as Hanguang-Jun.
He was known to be aloof and away from worldly beings. Seldom people knew him for who he was or what his heart truly yearned in reality.
A man who loved dearly and in retu...
"Lan Zhan" Wei grins when I walk up to him "it's so peaceful in here" taking another gulp of the drink, he shows me the jar "who would have ever thought, the man who fought with me once over this same liquor, would be the one to offer the same?" he winks.
Having him here inside Jingshi, I remisince to an old conversation I had once with my brother 'I want to bring someone back to Gusu', looking at him, staying here in my humble abode, safe and secure, this heart of mine is contended.
"Lan Zhan" he whispers and I look at him "play me something" he requests and I oblige. Walking over to where my Zither is, I play a tune just for his soul and mine. Sighing he brings the jar to his lips and my gaze pins him there. I remember all the stolen kisses. I remember the one that you gave me after Yi City. I remember the one that your Paperman gave me.
What do they mean Wei Ying?
Looking back at my Zither, I close my eyes when I feel his gaze on me. They're piercing ones. I don't open my eyes, for the fear that he might stop looking at me.
A gust of wind quietly blows into Jingshi and I find Wei Ying opening the door and stepping out into the snow. As Wei Ying turns to look at me, his soul is barred for me to see. My breath hitches. The emotions swirling in there is something I have never experienced. Wei Ying has always been very vocal yet seldom has ever shown his emotions but right now at this moment, no one is drunk. There is no deceit. There is no remorse. There is no resent. Just two souls lucid enough to understand the importance of this very moment.
It's just him and me. Slowly walking outside, I join him as he closes his eyes and cherishes the snow flakes caress his face.

"Lan Zhan" he whispers and I look at him "I am here" I smile and his gaze on me shades with adoration.
"Thank you" he continues "I don't ever think I have said that. When the world praised me for my wrong doings, you scolded me. When the world despised me or feared me, you always stood by my side, I took you for granted. I am sorry, Lan Zhan" his voice is filled with warmth "Lan Zhan?" He questions "Why is it that when I am in grave consequences, do I always find you beside me?" He turns to me "why did you not let me be alone back in Yiling?".
I look at him. What should I say? What could I ever say to make him beleive that no matter how he's being treated, for me, he's always my priority? That he is my soul?
"Lan Zhan" he prods as I look at him and answer with utmost truth "cause your Wei Ying" is my only answer.
Facing towards me, his knuckles softly graze against my cheeks and his eyes glaze with emotions. Time stands still for us. Taking a step slowly towards me, he enquires softly "Can I hug you, Lan Zhan?"
My heartbeats falter. I have never seen Wei Ying remotely ever showing me his true emotions. But tonight, he is barring his soul to me. Taking another step closer to him, I embrace him as he rests his head on my chest where my scar lays.
