After two years of painstakingly taking care of their son A-Yuan, Lan Wangji finally manages to persuade Wei Wuxian to care also for himself. He knows that his husband dearly needs to also relax and have some good alone time together. That is why they ask Lan Xichen and Nie Huisang to babysit their son while they go on a night hunt and perhaps also something more. Nobody however expected that soon after their departure, A-Yuan goes missing. Part 5 of the Letting go of self-restraint series, can be also read as stand-alone fan fiction but I recommend to read it after the previous parts of the series. Part 1 - Wei Wuxian's journey to recovery Part 2 - Wangxian having their baby Part 3 - Yu Ziyuan's POV and her punishment Part 4 - Jiang Cheng's and Wen Ning's story (in preparation) Part 5 - A-Yuan gets lost and his parents are frantically searching for him Part 6 - A-Yuan rescues an injured puppy and he wants to keep it (side story) English is not my first language so I apologise in advance for any mistakes. I am also not very familiar with chinese culture, customs nor naming conventions so this work may in some places not be 100% accurate. I do not own any characters I have used in my story, this is purely a work of fan fiction. Hope you will enjoy reading :)
