    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

    Summary

    ‘“If you wear your ribbon every day, part of your spiritual energy will eventually remain in the fabric. The ribbon then becomes a part of you; it senses different things and emphasises certain emotions.”

    “Like what?”

    “Like trust. Happiness.” Lan Xichen paused and smiled conspiratorially. “Love.”

    Lan Wangji made a face like he’d just bitten into a rather sour lemon. “Ew.”’

     

    Lan Wangji never expected that loving his soulmate would bring him so much pain and heartache. In the end, he thinks that being tied to Wei Wuxian has always made everything worth it.
