lwj was definitely the kind of child who could spot a lie right away, the type to hold a grudge if an adult promises something to him and doesn't deliver it. of course they just think since he's a kid he'll forget it eventually but he never does, just silently glaring at them.
a random sect leader comes to gusu for a conference once and speaks to sect leader lan's sons, promising the grumpy youngest child that next time he comes he'll bring back a souvenir from his clan. lwj nods and waits, but months later, the leader has forgotten it and he /hasn't/.
he's too polite to outright ask for it or accuse the man of being a liar but every time said sect leader tries to approach him, he glares at him and bows hastily before going away. uncle says liars cannot be trusted so lwj doesn't have to greet this man, does he? >:(
years later, when lwj becomes chief cultivator and is now a married man, he can no longer hold grudges against potential allies but just before a meeting, wwx catches him side-eyeing one of the guests and nudges him, asking what's up with that, so lwj says, "he is a liar."
and tells wwx the story of a five-year-old boy who was promised something and never got it. it doesn't matter that he didn't even care for material possessions. if someone makes a promise they should keep it! wwx just laughs and squeals in delight, "my husband is the cutest!"
lwj's lips part in surprise, brows raised. he always saw that aspect of his personality β his pettiness β as a bad thing but if wwx finds it cute maybe he shouldn't be so hard on himself. then, wwx pulls lwj into his arms and says, "remind me to never lie to you, hanguang-jun."
and lwj smiles, shaking his head, caressing wwx's face with his thumb, "wei ying would never."
later, when he greets the other sect leaders his grudge is long forgotten but wwx is there silently glaring at the man on behalf of lwj. he'd promised to hold the grudge for him.

"you go be the amazing chief cultivator and i'll be the petty husband today just for you, how dare he lie to my lan zhan?" wwx had said, furious. adorable.
and lwj trusts wei ying to always keep his his promises, starting the meeting with his heart lighter than it's ever been.
