Deep in the night, save for the disciples on watch, everyone else had fallen fast asleep. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian had already taken A-Yuan, Wen Ning, and Hua Yuan back to Paradise Manor to rest. Only Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji remained in the carriage. Seeing that Lan Wangji was fast asleep, Wei Wuxian opened his eyes. Flecks of moonlight streamed through the window into the carriage, allowing him to clearly make out Lan Wangji's features.
He knew how bitter those years had been for Lan Wangji, who had lived like a walking corpse, but hearing Lan Xichen's words today still made his heart ache unbearably. Raising a hand, he gently stroked Lan Wangji's face and murmured, "Lan Zhan, how can I ever heal that pain?"
Lan Wangji was a light sleeper; he had already woken up the moment Wei Wuxian shifted his weight. Sensing the movement and listening to that distressed voice, Lan Wangji kept his eyes closed and replied softly, "Wei Ying, you are my medicine. As long as you are by my side, I can forget all that pain."
