wei wuxian held the ribbon in between his lips, using both of his hands to retie the hair that had come loose underwater, “be honest about whether or not you thought about me in the same way.” in a solemn tone, he spoke, “rejecting me like that so coldly every single time—it really made me lose face, don’t you know?”

lan wangji, “you can try, now, to see if i would reject you over anything.”

the sentence so suddenly struck his heart. wei wuxian choked, yet lan wangji was still as calm as ever, as though he didn’t at all realize what he just said. wei wuxian put his hand to his forehead, “you… hanguang-jun, let’s make a deal. please warn me before you say something so romantic, or else i won’t be able to take it.”

lan wangji nodded, “okay.”

wei wuxian, “lan zhan—what a person you are!”

tens of thousands of words were left unspoken, in exchange for endless laughter and hugs.
