Lan Wangji knows he made a mistake. But those words had hurt. He thought that at least Jiang Cheng saw him as something more besides the second son, the spare heir.
The one with some of the privileges, but not the responsibilities.

Nothing besides ensuring the sect's dignity.
He thought the other would understand how it feels to live in the shadow of someone who you deeply love, but can't avoid envying sometimes.
Those words had hurt, but his reply has been enveloped in venom too.

He knew that he was using Jiang Cheng's insecurities against him, the one that kept him up at night, but had chosen to say the words anyway.
To all of those that whisper how Lan Wangji is more a statue than a human, wouldn't this prove them wrong?

That even he is unable to control his impulses sometimes? To hurt others because he also feels pain?
Jiang Cheng leaves and doesn't come back until the next day. And Lan Wangji despairs, loses his control again. Spends the entire night waiting in Jiang Cheng's room +

+ instead of his (yes, they still have separate rooms to at least keep up some of the appearances).
He despairs until Jiang Cheng enters the room, the sun shinning behind him, and kisses him in the head as if nothing had happened.

Lan Wangji despairs as the days pass and they don't talk about it. Jiang Cheng apparently has forgotten about the entire ordeal and Lan Wangji is too afraid to say something.
Not knowing what words to use to express how deeply sorry he feels.
Not knowing what words to use to express how deeply sorry he feels.
Everything seems the same, but Lan Wangji can feel how something is off.
How despite the kisses, the embraces, and the sweet, rare words they exchange, there seems to be a barrier between them.
An almost imperceptible thing, flimsy but still there.

Something is off. But he tries to ignore it because Jiang Cheng still smiles at him as if Lan Wangji is still precious to him, and he's greedy.
He pays that greediness days later.
Lan Wangji had been away a few days helping his sect with a nighunt.

When he arrives at Lotus Pier, everything and everyone is somber.
He doesn't understand why the silence disturbs him, but it does.
Jiang Cheng's second in command comes to him and explains there was a night hunt the day before.

Jiang Cheng's second in command comes to him and explains there was a night hunt the day before.
An inexperienced disciple had been in danger and Jiang Cheng had stepped in the beast path without thinking.
He had won, but only in the sense that he has been able to reach Lotus Pier still breathing.
Lan Wangji runs to his room, the air suddenly too heavy.

Jiang Cheng is breathing with difficulty, sweating with the effort. He smiles when he sees Lan Wangji.
And Lan Wangji feels some hope until he hears:
"I attempted the impossible, it only took me my life"
And Lan Wangji cries.
