"Feeling good?" Jiang Cheng asked with a smile.

Wei Wuxian did not answer immediately, he was still focused on finishing the contents in his bowl, "Mm, this is not bad even though it wasn't as good as the one made by Shijie." Wei Wuxian answered without turning his head from the empty bowl he was still holding.

His mind blurred for a moment remembering how wonderful it would have been if his beloved Shijie could sit together, gather and enjoy soup together as he always longed for.

"Then eat a lot, look at your thin body, how can you take care of Lan Wangji if you can't take care of yourself. Remember, don't make a mess if you get sick later" Jiang Cheng grumbled.

"Aiyah, Jiang Cheng it's enough.."

"Anyway, what's wrong with this thin body of mine, Lanzhan likes it however. And I'm only going to give this body to him, not to you." Wei Wuxian teased with bulging cheeks.

Jiang Cheng snorted in annoyance and sighed, "Tsk, still thinking about perverted things at a time like this, shameless!"

Wei Wuxian remained quiet, until a voice broke the silence.

"Sect Leader Jiang, Thank you!" it was Lan Xichen from the other end who was still sitting next to Lan wangji's body.

Wei Wuxian looks at him, "Zewu Jun, are you done?"

Lan Xichen nodded with a warm smile, he still hadn't moved after he transferred his spiritual energy to Lan Wangji as a form of endurance for his younger brother who was weakening rapidly.

In addition to relying on the concoction given by the physician and doctor Wen Qing, Lan Xichen still has to give him inner strength just in case, though the anxiety is still deep in his mind but Lan Xichen cannot cling to his sense of euphoria. He is the Sect leader he has a lot of work to do, plus Lan Wangji's job as Supervisor of Gusu Lan.

"Thank you for what? What have I done for you, Sect Leader Lan?" Jiang Cheng asked in confusion.

Sect Leader Lan also felt awkward, he was somewhat reluctant to say about what made him thank the Sect Leader Jiang just now. And chose to respond with a faint smile. Somehow the Sect Leader Lan was smiling for the words that he was holding in his throat.

"That's right, Zewu Jun for what are you thanking him? What did Jiang Cheng do for you? Even I haven't said anything for what he gave me today." Wei Wuxian began to tease.

Jiang Cheng, whose face had turned red and rolled his eyes lazily, "Wei Wuxian, keep quiet!"

And Wei Wuxian fell silent like a child that his mother had just reprimanded, and chose to pour back the lotus soup made specifically by Sect Leader Jiang into his small bowl. Although it didn't taste as good as his sister made, but that was all Jiang Cheng could do, when he longed for the atmosphere of his home, which was full of harmony as well as the laughter of people who left him alone.

No matter how strong Jiang Cheng is, he could not be able to lie to his feelings.

"Glad that you're back, Wei Difu" Lan Xichen said again. And now those words l instantly made Wei Wuxian almost choke on the Soup he had just eaten.

"Zewu Jun, where did I go? Aren't I always here??"

Lan Xichen remained quiet.

"Then where have you been yesterday, huh?" Jiang Cheng followed, his accent being firm, as if he would judge his brother and whip him.

Hearing the words of two people in front of him, initially Wei Wuxian felt a little offended. Because he was asked where he was yesterday when the answer was clear that he was still in Gusu, he did not go one step away from Jingshi, he continued to look after his lover even after the Old Man Lan himself wanted to keep him away from Lan Wangji.

Wei Wuxian tried to explore other intentions for what they said, Where have I been? Where did i go? Ahh... I get it now.

Wei Wuxian looked down for a moment as he was catching his breath, then lifted his face back so he found Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen's face staring at him sharply, as if they were asking if he was alright.

"Jiang Cheng, Zewu Jun. I'm sorry!" Wei Wuxian said softly. Now the atmosphere seemed to be a little calm.

Jiang Cheng, "You're alright?"

Wei Wuxian nodded with a soft smile. Lan Xichen smiled back warmly. Now Wei Wuxian feels a little calm, is it when he was able to return to his old self, or when Jiang Cheng came to see him, or when he smelled the pleasant aroma and fragrant lotus soup that Jiang Cheng brought for him, or after he finished the contents in his small bowl, Wei Wuxian no longer wants to think about it.

He felt his body lighten from anxiety, restlessness and fear. Although not all his feelings dissapeared from his mind but what is burdensome to his heart is now a little bearable. Wei Wuxian has come out of his depression.

Jiang Cheng, "Get up, and do what you should do for Lan Wangji"

Wei Wuxian nodded, "Mn, I understand, I'll do it again"

Jiang Cheng nodded in understanding,

Wei Wuxian turned to Lan Xichen, "Zewu Jun, Can you help me tonight?"

Zewu Jun was suddenly surprised in his heart, "Sure, I'll help"

"Thank you a lot, Sect Leader Jiang, for helping out today," Lan Xichen was about to ask Jiang Cheng not to be so harsh with Wei Wuxian.

"I know my limits Sect Leader Lan" Lan Xichen tried to believe it.

Jiang Cheng took the initiative to make Wei Wuxian's favorite Soup as soon as he heard about his brother a few days ago. When his nephew said that Wei Wuxian stayed in Lan Sizhui's room and didn't want to eat anything, of course he felt a speck of worry for his brother. The only thing in Wei Wuxian's mind right now was only Lan Wangji who somehow was ended up in this state.

What's more when he heard Lan Xichen saying that a few days ago, Wei Wuxian's condition was a bit chaotic, he had tried several times to find Lan Wangji's soul but the results were nil. Maybe not because he can't, but because doing empathy with feelings and frivolous thoughts will actually harm the mind as well as the soul as well. As a result, it will only reduce his cultivation level, added to the fact that the cultivation knowledge of the owner of the body is not so high.

Jiang Cheng's visit, even without an invitation, was very helpful to Lan Xichen, as well as a number of people who were also concerned about Wei Wuxian's constant chaotic, brooding and lonely condition. Wei Wuxian was often found sleeping with his head down and his arms hugging over his husband's white Guqin. neither eating nor going out of the room.

And for curiosity about what had happened to them, Jiang Cheng refrained him from asking Wei Wuxian personally, at least Jiang Cheng already knew some of his information from the Sect Leader Lan. Jiang Cheng did not want to trouble his brother in a situation like this.
