I'm alone in this cruel world,
You said you loved me,
yet you left me.
You said you would grow old with me,
yet you left me.
Please come back to me my love,
I have no desires apart from you.
Please come back to me,
I am alone in this cruel world.
-Nrittisha (Lan Zhan, for the purpose of the story)
When he jumped from the cliff in the Nightless City, someone who didn't belong to any of the cultivating sects saved Wei Ying. 4 years after Wei Ying's supposed death Lan Zhan and Nie Huaisang found out that Jin Guangyao who was the reason behind Wei Ying's destruction, and that Wei Ying gave his golden core to Jiang Cheng.
After mourning for 5 years, Lan Zhan goes to visit Baoshan Saren to know if there is a way to bring his Wei Ying back but what he finds there shocks him to the core.
"I hate you." Lan Zhan said emotionless.
Just hearing it, Wei Ying's world came crashing down. But still, he tried to keep his composure.
"L..Lan Zhan, you don't have to like me. You no longer need to care for me. Y..you can be the way you want. J.. just let me care for you. Let me show you what happiness is. Let me accompany you through your highs and lows. Let me give my world to you. J...just let me love you? Huh...? Can you let me do that? Please Lan Zhan...!"
His voice cracked at the end. But who cares?
His Lan Zhan no longer needed him. His Lan Zhan no longer cared for him. His Lan Zhan no longer adored him. His Lan Zhan no longer.... no longer loved him!
Tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn't cease the tears from flowing down his cheeks. He couldn't help but show his vulnerability to Lan Zhan. His Lan Zhan!
