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...

"Wen Ning, for now go hide somewhere and be safe. Tonight we'll scout around the temple" at Wei's command, Wen Ning bows down and leaves "Lan Zhan, shall we find an inn to settle down for something?"
"Hm" I look at him and even though he's recovering he's still far from his usual self. Back in Burial Mountain and in Yunmeng Ancestral Hall, my Wei Ying had exerted himself mentally and physically.
Walking around we finally find a decent inn "How many rooms would you like Young Masters?" The kind Innkeeper questions and I look at Wei. Before I would have asked for one but now since he called me his 'Friend' I wait for him to answer. His eyes seek mine and before either one of us could answer the Innkeeper smiles "Well you both seem to have travelled from far. I'll give you one room. Don't worry there are two separate beds and the room is huge for you to move around comfortably" she smiles and Wei visibly relaxes.
Did you want to live in the same room? Oh Wei Ying you at times confound me.
"Madam, could you get some food later for us as well as some strong alcohol?" Wei winks and she blushes "Sure sure, please have a comfortable stay".
The room is indeed beautiful and simplistic in nature. Wei walks over to the bed and lays down unceremoniously "Lan Zhan, this is so peaceful" he smiles and I look at him. Walking upto him I take a seat next to his waist and pull his hand to check his pulse. His imperceptible gasp is light but I hear it.
"Lan Zhan?" He enquires and I feel his warm beating pulse. He's alive Lan Wangji. He's breathing well. Don't scare yourself. He's next to you.
"Hm, no threat but recoup. Sleep" as I move away from the bed he holds my hand and my steps halt. Looking down, I see his anxious gaze on me. Thousands of emotions run course through them and right now I am unable to read him. What do you want Wei Ying? Just say something!
I hate to admit but the fact is that, Wei Ying is changing and I am truly scared. Whatever happened in Yunmeng Ancestral Hall, the venom spouted by Jiang Cheng has indeed changed the balance between us. No longer is the man before me like his usual self after his resurrection but in place is a man who is doubting his every move. Unwilling to feel the pain that resonates from every pore of mine I slowly back away "I need to meditate. You sleep here. I'll wake you up soon" I wish to hold his face and look into his eyes, kiss him on his forehead or lips and say that he's mine, but I don't.
Before he could say something that could probably hurt us both, I sit next to the table in middle of the room and close my eyes. My heart is not so strong Wei Ying, I am a man who has been scarred a lot. If it's by people who mean nothing to me, this heart can bear more thousand scars but, if it's you who is scarring them, then trust me I won't be able to survive. Not this time.
