Chapter Text
- At Phoenix Mountain
It was supposed to be a quick and unknown kiss, forceful it may be but wei ying will not be able to tell who kissed him was in fact Lan zhan. Or so that what Lan wangji thought until wei wuxian came after him asking why he left so early without even completing what he started.
wei ying: LAN ZHAN! I thought you LANs are honest virgin type of people who save themselves until marriage. What was that?
Lan zhan: How did you..? (•Confusion colouring his beautiful melted golden eyes•)
wei ying: How I know it was you? (Grining) Your sandalwood scent of course!
Lan wangji felt his heart sinking into his stomach like some lava running down a volcano.
Lan Zhan: I .. I am-..
He was stuttering and not directly talking his mind as he usually do, he knows. But he is just scared what would wei ying think of him now? Disgraceful? Disgusting? Or just even more betraying the little trust wei wuxian gave him?
Lan zhan: Wangji apologizes. I know my mistake, that was extremely, terribly wrong! Forcing and all. My emotions took the better part of me clouding my judgment of right actions. I will accept whatever you demand me as punishment.
WY who was just watching the other guy with a calm poker facade but several thoughts swirling in his mind, let out a small smile accompanied by a fit of giggles and said.
Wei ying: Who do you take me for, lan zhan? If I wanted to push you away I would have done so from the start. I was just saying you should have stayed longer to complete what you started, making my virgin self yearn for my heart stealer . I know you don't act only& solely on your desires at least. Which means, those actions were out of love feelings, I hope. Cuz I do love you, Lan zhan.
Seeing the watery smile lan zhan had on his handsome face, wei ying was glad he pushed his insecurities aside and confessed what he felt towards this man.
That day they confessed their feelings for each other. That noon they let their bodies tell their long buried love to each other. That afternoon wei wuxian found the courage to tell lan wangji of his reason for using the demonic path. That night lan zhan cried in his arms saying sweet sorries into his beloved's ears , demanding wei ying to never leave him alone again, promising him to never ever doubting him again.
The day after, wei wuxian was casted as a threat to the cultivation world for saving the wen remnants, reviving wen Qionglin as a fierce corpse and for taking the burial mounds as his home.
WangXian continued their relationship, two months later wen qing told them something made them both happy and scared. Apparently wei wuxian 's missing core took wangji's yang energy as a catalyst for forming another, but being mixed with the older's offspring (cūm), it instead formed a child, an infant of their own. They of course kept it a secret aside from the wen.
WWX very honestly told LWJ that he doesn't trust his sect, especially his uncle. He may faintly trust xichen but not enough to tell him of that state of his. Lan Xichen would not keep something like that from his uncle.
Three months later, wei wuxian gave birth to a healthy pretty boy, with wangji's facial expressions such as skin color and nose shape, and silver eyes just like wuxian. LWJ and WWX truly thought hoped they can get to live a happy life.
But that wasn't the case 5 years after Lan yuan 's birth.
The estimated cultivators from the four great sects came to get ride of wy who destroyed the amulet resulting in a planned backlash that killed him. Leaving and trusting their son with his husband to take care of him.
LWJ who was raged and furious of his beloved 's death fought against his family and sect elders. Injuring 33 of them severely which explains why he is receiving these 33 lashes of discipline whip.
Although he could not take full care or raising his son for the 1st 3 years to him in cloud recesses, lan zhan still guarded him. When lan yuan courtesy lan sizhui complete d 8 years old lan zhan was out of his forced seclusion, which increased his time with his son even more. Teaching him how to use his sword and Qin.
Around that time, Sizhui could not tell his father that he was able to see and hear spirits even without inquiry. Better even . He couldn't find his other dad though.
When lan sizhui over 10 years old by some weeks, LWJ handed him his own {LZ 's} forehead ribbon to take as his own from then on.
lan zhan: [with a very serene smile, soft voice] :
A-Yuan, take good care of this and never ever let anyone other than your family and partner (Spouse) touch it.
Listen my sweet son, do not grow up to be foolish like this father of yours and hide your emotions from them. Don't be so judgment towards them either.
And though I loved that side of him, do not be so selfless like your A-Niang was. Sizhui, uphold righteousness as you see fit and not what greedy people see. Can you promise this neglected father to do that? 0
Lan yuan: I promise. (Wide grin)
Lan Sizhui who was still innocent at that time didn't why his dad's words were sounding like farewell. Didn't know his dad's death 5 days later was suicide not natural until he heard so from the spirits.
