Seeing this rare reaction from the always upbeat teen, the white clad cultivator voiced his worry, "What it is Wei Ying?"
Hearing Lan Wangji next to him, makes him remember who is with him, and he panic inside.
There's something Wei Wuxian and everyone hiding from Lan Wangji and that is the truth behind the incident for imprisonment of Jin Guangshan.
That the very reason the dispute between Zhuque Sect and Jin Guangshan, and dispute between Jin Clan and Jin Guangshan is him—Wei Wuxian.
Although Jin Guangshan's attempts on raping Wei Wuxian didn't occur, he still cannot tell Lan Wangji.
Having Qin Su here would mean that thing will expose.
"There's nothing bad about it." Tiao Reinshun once told him, when she asked him if when Wei Wuxian will tell Lan Wangji about the incident. "It wasn't like he did you, and... Second Young Master Lan might—" Tiao Reinshun clears her throat, "Anyways, you don't have to worry about it and just tell him. The more you prolong at hiding it, the more will it be difficult."
Still, Wei Wuxian hides it for many years, and just what his sister have said, it become even more difficult to say, and her existence within the Gusu, close to Lan Wangji has become frightening for Wei Wuxian.
"Young Master Wei! Welcome back from your seclusion, you should have informed me that you are finally back." Qin Su spoke as soon as she gotten close to the two Young Master that halted on their steps; the way Qin Su said this is like Wei Wuxian has all obligation to her, which made Lan Wangji curious. "Oh! Greetings to Second Young Master Lan."
Right now, Wei Wuxian wishes that any of his siblings would suddenly pop out of no where and pulls him and Lan Wangji, or better Qin Su.
Lan Wangji nodded to her in response; he knew her, of course, there are times that she would come with her parents on several occasion, although they never once got a chance to talk to each other because for some reason unknow by him, Tiao Reinshun and the other kids would pull her away or him and Wei Wuxian. Though, even he could have a chance to talk with her, he has no interest to do so.
"Lady Qin Su... what are you doing here?" Wei Wuxian is at unease, he trying to find an excuse to leave her, and pull away Lan Wangji.
"I'm here for you Young Master Wei! I'm here to give my regards for your come back."
"You really come here in Gusu just for that?"
"Like I said earlier, you didn't inform me of coming out from your seclusion, and isn't only natural to welcome your future partner?"
'Fuck!' Wei Wuxian just wants to curse her.
This is what he afraid of, her claims of becoming his wife. Its fine if she only do it with Tiao Reinshun, but now to Lan Wangji?!
"Future partner?" Wei Wuxian frightens, this is what he was afraid the most... telling Lan Wangji the incident is one, but how will he explain why he doesn't tell him that thing right full away?
"Listen Lan Zhan!"
"Oh, we're going to engage soon!"
"You really enthusiasm about it."
"Of course! Thanks to Young Master Wei, what happened to my mother has given justice. Jin Guangshan has soiled my mother and I'm the result of it. I am dirty, but my parents told me that they already give proposal to Sect Leader Zhuque about a marriage between me and Young Master Wei."
"How come Wei Ying have gotten involve in your case?"
"Oh, you see Second Young Master Lan, from what I heard Jin Guangshan tries to rape Young Master Wei—"
"STOP!!!" it loud, so very loud, clearly that certain rule has been broken, but Wei Wuxian doesn't care anymore, he must stop her from going more in detail.
"What's wrong Young Master Wei...?"
Lan Wangji gives him a side glance, waiting... waiting for what? For an explanation? What explanation? For not telling him that someone has try to touch his Wei Ying? Or why Wei Wuxian is hiding this thing to him for so many years.
Wei Wuxian is panting heavily, his chest is pounding in fear.
He just simply doesn't want Lan Wangji to hate him!
Even until now, that Jin Guangshan is being punished greatly at maze, and even it did not happen, it still frighten Wei Wuxian, that his whole body is trembling and there are times this memories would become nightmare that choking him, worst, the dream even went overboard and the deal has been occur, that he would wake at morning shaking, felt all dirty and wishes he just have died back then.
He never once tells this to anyone, as he never wants them to worry about him. Although—like Tiao Reinshun said, it's no big deal, for Wei Wuxian and Wei Wuxian's body it is a big deal.
"Wei Ying..." the always cold voice of Lan Wangji snaps Wei Wuxian from his thoughts.
"Lan... Zhan..."
"It is true? Why you never tell me?"
"That's..."
Wei Wuxian wanted to collapse there, right at that instant, but to his and Qin Su's bewilderment, it is Lan Wangji who collapse and fell unconscious.
Immediately, right before Lan Wangji hits the ground, Wei Wuxian caught him through reflex and gotten worried.
"Lan Zhan! LAN ZHAN! LAN ZHAN!" he calls his named for many times, shaking his body, but there's no response. "LAN ZHAN!"
