Summary
absence. noun. a state or condition in which something expected, wanted, or looked for is not present or does not exist.
Jin Ling’s waist is bare of the white belt he wore for the worst five months of his life, and it’s strange to say that he misses it. It would be inappropriate for him to remain in mourning, officially. Jiang Wanyin, after all, was only his mother’s brother. Yet, he feels like he hasn’t mourned long enough. Like he’ll spend the rest of his life mourning Jiujiu, and that he should be wearing white the whole time. The gold he wears is pale, but not pale enough.

Summary
current. noun. occurring in or existing at the present time; the part of a fluid body moving continuously in a certain direction.
Six months ago, Jiang Cheng died.
“I can see you’re missing some maternal education. Who even is your jiujiu?”
Wei Wuxian slaps himself. How could he have said those things to his sister’s son, to the boy his brother raised? The world kept spinning while he was gone and he thought he could divorce himself from everything familiar. They’ve lived without him for this long, after all. But it’s just his luck that he would get himself so tangled up in feelings that have, for everyone else, had so much time to fester. While he was in the Burial Mounds, his sister got married and had a son. While he was dead, his nephew grew up and his brother died.

Summary
distrust. noun. the feeling that someone or something cannot be relied upon.
"It’s not that he doesn’t trust them. (Except that’s absolutely it.)
Lan Wangji himself looks as regal as ever in his pristine white robes, which are so pale it makes Jin Ling want to avert his eyes from them in the midday sun. But the mass of black and red in his arms offsets the brightness enough that Jin Ling can settle for a scrunch of the nose and a scoff.
“Hanguang-jun? Do you intend to let your disciple speak for you, or are you going to share your thoughts?” Or perhaps he lets Lan Sizhui think for him, too. It would hardly be a surprise to learn that Hanguang-jun is thinking with the wrong head. Jin Ling knows the rumors about Hanguang-jun’s preferences, and even more about Mo Xuanyu’s. The only surprise would be how Mo Xuanyu-- who isn’t bad-looking but certainly isn’t on the same level as Hanguang-jun, peerless beauty as he is-- bagged that, and when it happened so that Hanguang-jun would be so eager to defend him.
Hanguang-jun does not honor him with an answer. No, that would be something approaching halfway-decent. "
