Kneel down

There were nearly twenty stitches on the wound, and because anesthesia could not be applied, Wei Wuxian could clearly feel the tingling pain of the needle piercing through the flesh and then being pulled out.After the wound was stitched up, Wei WuXian felt a little dizzy from the pain.

"The wound is not deep, but it is very long. The stitches were just finished. In order to prevent infection, it is best to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days." After putting Wei Wuxian on the drip, the doctor gave Lan Wangji a few words and left.

In the ward, Wei WuXian was lying on the bed with his brows furrowed and grinning, while Lan WangJi sat beside him, his pale eyes showing no emotion at all.

After a while, Lan Wangji looked up at Wei Wuxian, "Do you want to tell Uncle Jiang?"

Wei Wuxian was struggling to sit up, when he heard Lan Wangji's words, he was startled and scratched his wound again, "Don't, don't, Uncle Jiang knows he's sending me away again! I've only been in this school for one semester!"

Lan Wangji lowered his head, and the afterglow of the setting sun hit the young man's thin back through the curtains.

Lan Wangji's sudden silence made Wei Wuxian a little at a loss for what to say, he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Your family...are you okay..."

Lan Wangji clenched his hands flat on his legs tightly, as if he was enduring some great pain, his whole body was shaking.This is also the first time Wei Wuxian has seen Lan Wangji like this. In his eyes, the most comprehensively developed student god at this age has always been extremely cold, and he can quickly calm down no matter what happens.With such an out-of-control look, Wei Wuxian didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Father..." Something glittering and translucent ticked down Lan Wangji's profile and landed on the back of his hand, "Passed away..."

This news beat Wei WuXian a little dizzy like a club over his head.He is an orphan who doesn't know how it feels to lose a loved one, but he may be able to imagine how painful Lan Wangji's forced calm these days is, so much so that he can force such a strong and calm person to cry in front of others.

Wei Wuxian stretched out his moving right hand to gently wipe away the tears from Lan Wangji's face, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't cry...don't cry..."

This is the first time Wei Wuxian has faced such a scene in 18 years.The wound on his side was still stabbing pain, but what Lan Wangji gave him was a pain that reached deep into his consciousness, as if his soul was being torn apart and groaning in pain.

Wei Wuxian is not very clear about the situation of Lan Wangji's family, but Wei Wuxian always finds it strange that Lan Wangji's uncle always attends the three parents' meetings throughout the third year of high school.Leaving aside Lan Wangji's father's busyness, his mother left no trace around Lan Wangji as if she had evaporated from the world.

Wei Wuxian also asked curiously, but the answer he got was always the same.

never showed up.

Wei Wuxian doesn't know how to comfort Lan Wangji, he has always been a stingy master, even in the Jiang family, Jiang Yanli protects him and Jiang Cheng.

"What about your brother?" Wei Wuxian said softly, as if he was afraid that a slightly more serious question would crush the person in front of him.

"..."

Seeing that Lan Wangji didn't answer, Wei Wuxian laughed in embarrassment, "If you don't say it..."

"My elder brother was sent abroad by his father, so he was not affected." After finishing speaking, there was another death-like silence.

Wei Wuxian lay on the hospital bed, staring at the white ceiling of the hospital in a daze.Different from the feeling of staying next to Lan Wangji in the past, this kind of sadness made Wei Wuxian feel a little out of breath.

"That... Lan Zhan..." Wei Wuxian turned his head to look at Lan Wangji, hesitatingly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lan Wangji's left hand, which was tightly clenched into a fist on his knee, and squeezed Lan Wangji little by little. The machine's fingers spread apart, and bit by bit, the five fingers were inserted into the other's fingers.

After interlocking the fingers, it was the promise that supported the boy throughout his school days.

"It's okay, no matter how big things happen, I'm still the one."

Later, Wei Wuxian's fight was reported.

The Wen family was in its heyday at the time, and the Jiang family had no choice but to transfer Wei Wuxian's school, and went to another school to finish high school.

After graduating from high school, Wei Wuxian filled in the group of universities closest to Lan's company like a bewilderment, but he also forgot the promise of that high school and that evening like a memory loss.

During his four years in college, he only remembered the legend of the business school, the Lan Wangji who was as famous as himself and played the dwarf, but he didn't remember the young Lan Zhan who cried in front of him.

During college, Jiang's, Lan's, Jin's, and Nie's four companies jointly overthrew Wen's.

Later, Wei Wuxian got into Lan's company by mistake.After many years, we will meet again.

Wei Wuxian stood under the streetlight, staring blankly at Lan Wangji not far away.As if the past time reappeared, the boy with the thin back and Lan Wangji overlapped together.

"I...remember..." Wei Wuxian took a few steps forward, grabbed Lan Wangji's skirt, "I remembered, I remembered Lan Zhan."

Lan Wangji raised his hand, gently caressing Wei Wuxian's side face, with a gentle smile on his mouth.

"Ah."

The first snow of winter.

Time still flies so fast that people's memories can be washed away unconsciously.

But after all, on such an inadvertent day, you will meet the boy in your memory and let the dusty memory dry in the sun.
