    Summary

    And then Wei Ying straightened, something terribly apologetic, almost frail in his eyes – and before he said the words, Lan Wangji already knew what the answer would be. Suddenly, the day that had so far felt very warm turned cold for him.

    He would have held up his hand, but something was keeping him frozen in place. The realization, perhaps, that he would not get those words back now. That he’d put them out, careless like a child, and just as fragile when facing the realities of the world.

    Wei Ying bowed to him, so respectful that it made Lan Wangji taste iron on his tongue. “I’m very honored, that Lan Zhan would hold me in such high regard, but – I don’t like men like that, so –“

    Summary

    Chu Wanning is just passing through the main courtyard when a group of female junior disciples approaches from the opposite way, huddled close together under two umbrellas, talking in animated voices that carry across the space.

    “Have you seen him?” the tallest of them says. She is one of Xuanji’s disciples, but Chu Wanning cannot recall her name. “Da-shixiong says he’d been away for a while, but now he’s back for good.”

    Five years after the opening of the Heavenly Rift, Mo Ran returns to Sisheng Peak. Soon later, Chu Wanning begins to be plagued by strange dreams.

    Summary

    Chu Wanning squeezes his eyes shut. When he opens them, he’s looking everywhere but Mo Ran.

    “I won’t say it,” he bites out. But there’s a hint of need in his tone, an undertone of desperation. “Don’t make me say it.”

    Mo Ran tries to do a nice gesture. He discovers something else.

    Summary

    How would he say that no bruises or leftover dirt mattered, as long as he would get to be pushed back on the bed and held close under the covers? As long as he would get to bury his face in Mo Ran’s neck, breathe in his scent, let it surround him, wrap around him like Mo Ran’s strong arms would? That what would clean and heal his wounds was not a wet makeshift towel, but—

    ”Mo Ran,”

    —An imagining of the events following the moment under that tree at the end of chapter 310.
