He never thought Wei Ying would ask about her mother's whereabouts, "Wei Ying wants to meet mother" He doesn't know why he was feeling overwhelmed..

Wei Ying always smiles but the smile fades when the figure of his mother comes into view. "He seems lost in his thought" His heart aches when he saw Wei Ying's tears.

"Why is he crying?"

I've been calling his names numerous times...desperate- he raises his voice a bit in intention to help the boy. When Wei Ying finally snapped out of his thought...he gave Lan Wangji a reassuring smile.

Lan Wangji does not recognize the smile....it does not look convincing at all. Little did he know, Wei Ying hides his emotion under his smile...Lan Wangji however, never shows his emotion.

Mother knows he is lying...

"Who is the person that Wei Ying misses?"

"What happened to that person?"

Questions after questions....

To make the situation worse, Wei Ying is hyperventilating. He never wants to see the cheerful boy behaving like this.


"Why does my heart hurt whenever Wei Ying shed tears?"
